Concerning certain recent issues

[yj_anon]

OK, here's the thing guys.

Certain things about moderating this meme make me uncomfortable. So far I've gotten by, and most of you are lovely, but it's gotten to a point on one particular issue where either this needs to stop happening or I don't think I'm going to be able to continue and keep my state of mind OK. Because it's seriously starting to

Different nonnie here but I sort of agree with the other guy/gal about banning all prompts dealing with the Megan/Wally issue, or temporarily doing so until you feel less whelmed and concerned about your current thinking being affected. Because things like this:

worry me. Specifically "You don't have to rape someone at gunpoint to be an inappropriate creeper, douche."

Everyone who has commented on this prompt has taken issue with it thus far. In the past you have decided to freeze prompts due to issues in wording that may be found offensive. Such as Wally being from the "ghetto" school.

I'm concerned that with all the blatant animosity you've dealt with it lets the less obvious posts slip by relatively unnoticed. It's not as bad as most of the bashing prompts but:
if you have to make it look good by talking about something worse, it's not looking very good on its own termsI would appreciate if

Acting flirty =/= sexual harassment.

It's just a cartoon, don't take it so seriously? The comments are meant to show that he's a playful/laidback (and sometimes dense) kind of guy. I find it hard to believe that a show meant for a younger audience would contain a hardcore sexist/perverted main character, so I don't get why you're taking it all out of context.

I mean, really, that comment sounds more anti-character than anything else I've seen. Calm down.

I'm sorry but I agree completely with the anon below... hot? You're upset about hot? Imagine if he even ONCE called her sexy? I think the reaction garnered would be ten times worse, and I know victim blaming is utterly reprehensible, but there is no victim here, there is just a horny teenage boy (gee, I've never heard of those) and an alien who at most seems a little confused why he likes her so much. He's just complimenting her. But this is not stalker behavior, so if she doesn't tell him he doesn't like her, and at most her reactions are subtle, why should he stop? He thinks he's a player (unless there's a freudian excuse) and thinks she likes it. Or he's generally trying to be nice to her, but in a typical teenage boy way, complimenting her looks. Plus, where has the team actively come to her defense if they have noticed this completely inappropriate behavior? Other than Artemis rolling her eyes and laughing at his expense with M'gann behind his back. Flirting isn't sex... you don't have to wait for the girl to say yes. I honestly
