i've mostly been talking about this situation in private but i want to echo the sentiments here. it's been genuinely haunting watching the pendulum swing from the early 2010s "let's uncritically make stridercest the most popular ship and not bother to check in on the adults using it to groom kids!" to the modern "yiffy's name is sexualizing minors"

what a fucking world. i appreciate that the mod team is taking this seriously, as that's a remarkably hard bar to hop over for some reason. i have hope that things will smooth out in time and this will be able to be looked back on as just one ultimately inconsequential slip up in a long line of fighting the good fight.
