This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.

Shouldn't consider it completely unrelated. The comic's last panel says "I will not indulge in your poorly disguised fetish." That's a sex thing. So the comic opens that domain of discussion by making use of it. Nudes are another fetish, so bringing them up in the already approached avenue is theoretically within the general context.
Also, no offense, but when discussing someone's creations, unavoidably the person themselves also becomes a topic of discussion. Their past actions are brought up, in relation to the topic at hand or not. It is something we all do, whether we realize it or not.
Is it misogynistic? I'd say it borders on it as well. However, can we be sure this wouldn't have played out the same had said nudes were of a man instead of a woman?
But I think in this case, the user themselves and their history are what triggered a permanent ban instead of a lower punishment, which in my view shows that the comment itself wasn't really out of context after all.
I'm pretty certain that comic is edited and that isn't what she said. She didn't make it a fetish thing, and bringing up her leaked nudes for no reason is super weird.
