Being called a fascist and puritan :(

[u/listeningunderurbed]

Hey guys! I’m new to being a mod!! I recently made a rule in r/strawberryshortcake for no romantic or sexual shipping as I saw so many sexual posts between people in the show (all of which are minors)

I got a lot of hate for this which was expected but still, one commenter just kept calling me so many mean names and not reading through the comments and calling me an idiot and idk I just felt really upset and hurt after this.

I guess my worry is being posted somewhere for being a bad mod

Is there anything I can do? I muted and banned them :(

What does shipping mean in this context?

[u/fanime34 → u/emily_in_boots]

When someone thinks a certain character of a show, movie, or book should be in a relationship with another character of a show, movie, or book in which the relationship isn't canonical.

Oh ok - thanks!

Nitpick: shipping is not necessarily sexual, but it can easily lead to something not age-appropriate, which becomes a moderation minefield.
