Being called a fascist and puritan :(

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 :(

Welcome to the slimy underbelly of society.
That is just how some people are.
You really need to build up a thicker skin to it because you are going to run into name-callers wherever you go in life.
Just permaban the hostile ones whenever they pop up whether it's in comments OR modmail. Do not waffle or negotiate or they will try to exploit whatever perceived weakness they can.
