Basically as title, I wanted to hear if posts such as below are acceptable, since as it stands, it doesn’t break any of Lemmygrads rules. Frankly, the post is very weird to me, and the comments are bizarre. People talking about how they want to “dominated” by a 14 year old is imo not okay, especially not when it’s on a post of a drawing of a child with clear undertones. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the post since I’m not an evangelion fan, but I thought it was noteworthy enough to bring up here.

EDIT: The post has been removed, so I guess that’s a no?
Call me a fascist, but the very words “loli” and “lolicon” should be filtered/banned.
I am for not allowing this kind of stuff. This is not the right place for getting “cute” with a fictional early teen cartoon character. Whether this is loli or not is orthogonal to this particular point.
Imo and from reading the comments the consensus seems to be that the post isn’t quite loli but was still disliked. A co-admin already removed the post but the discussion is still good to continue. However, I think it’s worth recentering the discussion on the post itself and expand to posts like it that may appear, because “loli” has by itself not really been a problem or something that’s even come up on Lemmygrad. Like when I hear “loli” I think little kids with exaggerated childlike traits being treated like adults including potrayed sexually. I don’t know personally if I would say this post is loli regardless of what else it may be.
Under rule 4 we already remove all sexually explicit content so there’s no risk of explicit porn or loli being posted. To that end if you haven’t already please check the original post (if still possible, I don’t know if you can open removed posts as a user) before commenting.
edit: since you can’t see post here’s the picture that was in it. It’s nothing visually explicit, you can open this link safely. https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/7d605124-e786-414f-a336-60927854c60c.jpeg?format=webp
What’s disgusting, cringe, or weird is irrelevant to me. Acting horny in a public forum not dedicated to that kind of stuff runs the risk of causing discomfort and harm to those sensitive to it, particularly victims of sexual abuse.
Lemmygrad being a remote corner of the internet and not one that many people are friendly to, I think it’s in out best interests to avoid hosting this kind of stuff full stop. The rest of the internet is a giant goon cave; we don’t need to be too.
