I have messaged the poster to reword the meme to be more inclusive. It’s not just cis-normative, but also hetero-normative. Which just seems like a weird thing to be on bakerstreet of all places.

Thank you! I appreciate this and how you handled the above c:

for the record, this exact conversation about this exact meme happened four years ago.

Hey, thank you for digging this up because I sure don't remember it. I'll be discussing with my fellow mods what the next steps should be for the future of these memes.

thank you - there's no need for the same meme two days in a row

[korofel]

Thank you. I've removed the romance or reject meme and messaged the poster.

Hello, bakerstreet mods! I'm just dropping you a note on the report post to let you know that I've emailed you about scheduling a short period of read-only downtime for the community in order to do some database maintenance on your account to prevent future problems, since you're approaching a number of comments that will hit a database limit if we don't do a little bit of work on our end. Please get back to us when you have a second about the timing!

[korofel]

Hi Denise! Thank you so much for the heads up. We'll do a quick discussion amongst us mods about the date and get back to you soon.

[denise]

Great, thank you! You won't have to do anything except let players know that there'll be a window of time they won't be able to post (and possibly reschedule some scheduled memes), but I know that you have complex post timing rules and we can do what we can to minimize the disruption. The time of day for the maintenance window is pretty set because it's dependent on Mark's schedule, but the day of the week is flexible as long as it's midweek!

This OC is wildly racist and antisemetic. I don't know if it's on purpose or not but either way it is disturbing to see this on meme.

Tropes: -Hook nose, big lips -Goblin-like characteristics -Vampire/blood drinking character -Comments about character being a swindler -Overly sexual black man

Maybe one or two of these tropes on a character would cause an eyebrow raise; all of them together is downright disturbing.

most pronounced example of antisemitic caricature art: https://v.dreamwidth.org/16701284/4142020

that one in particular had me like 'seriously, what the fuck' and looks like it came out of 'the poisonous mushroom'. the bright pink lips on a dark skinned character are a nice touch too.

icon gallery: https://forrestertailor.dreamwidth.org/icons

i also want to add to what op pointed out that the character is said to be a tailor (a stereotypical jewish profession) and re: oversexualizing op is referring to referring to the character as 'slutty'/'a whore' multiple times in permissions.

this is all just way too much in combination and feels deliberate.

brought here from wg to point out that apparently no one has actually talked to this person about anything, so it would seem wildly unfair to ban someone based on art/concept without at least informing them about it. communication and putting on their big boy pants is supposed to be step one. banning someone for crossing boundaries, being offensive, ignoring preferences is something that is usually not frowned on if that person has been asked before to not do these things and they blatantly ignore that. i'd like to see the proof that this person's been asked about their art or concept before they're suddenly banned on the comm over something that it seems like no one's even talked to them about because 'they might get defensive based on their art style'.

that's a reach.

they’re too lazy and cowardly to contact the player, so they wanna use the BS mod as their “attack dog” or something.

you’re throwing a tantrum on the mod and demanding they ban a player because you’re too chicken to tell them what they’re doing wrong.

coward.

[(Anonymous)]

as an addendum, someone did approach the player with crit, and it went unaddressed + deleted.
