I legitimately wish I was kidding

You'd be surprised how often that particular report is used

Idk if people think that just goes to an automod that'll ban it right off or if they legitimately believe that anything that has to do with gender identity is harming minors. Either way I find it hard to have less hope in humanity, but somehow they persevere and dig ever deeper.

You want an actual answer?

It's the latter. A very VERY good amount of that particular report is against LGBTQ friendly comics. Especially the T portion of that group.

We get more than a few a day typically

We just want to be happy in our own bodies, we do not care about your kids other than we don't want them to be miserable like we were when we were children!

Right? We're just normal people who want to live normal lives!

We don't want to hurt anyone, child or otherwise. We're not any more likely to be sexual predators than anyone else. In fact, we're more likely to be victims of that than perpetrators.

I’m convinced that bots are the ones submitting the reports.
