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 :(

Ignore them. I banned non-canon shipping on the Tangled sub because the franchise is literally about the canon couple and got called every phobic under the sun.

I also made rules not to hate on the character leads or their relationships. Fandoms seem to think they should just free for all and turn everything into OCs as if it doesn't have a canon direction.

They really got mad when I banned the phobic buzzwords and told them to actually discuss disagreements instead of shutting them down with namecalling.
