A Change in Direction

Over the past few weeks, it has become clear that we are in dire need of meaningful reform, even if these changes may not be universally welcomed. While open discussion within fandom is crucial, too much leniency may have been allowed in the name of free expression, even when discussions became uncomfortable or targeted those who are meant to be celebrated. This environment has led to a decline in morale and participation, compounded by ongoing technical issues.

This site was initially created to unite the community and celebrate the 3D Debuts, particularly when other platforms like Nyfco were unavailable. It was always intended to be a space for shared experiences, open discourse, and constructive criticism. Unfortunately, what was meant to foster healthy debate has too often devolved into toxic and destructive behavior. This has become a heavy burden—not just for me but also for third parties who should never have been drawn into these conflicts.

Many conversations have shifted away from constructive dialogue and honest venting. Instead, they are frequently driven by external actors with no genuine connection to the fandom, intent on creating division between fans, talents, and others. This platform will no longer serve as a host for such negativity.

The core purpose of this site remains to foster civil discussion. Genuine venting and honest opinions are more than welcomed and encouraged, but content aimed at causing harm or division will no longer be tolerated.

Regardless of whether the talents themselves visit this site, or not; It has become clear that toxic narratives and conspiracies discussed here have spilled over into the broader mainstream. As a result, hosting content that can be weaponized against the talents, fans, or allies is no longer viable.

Therefore, moderation will become more stringent moving forward. If you feel that your comment—or someone else’s—was unfairly removed, you are welcome to appeal the decision (on a post dedicated to private appeals). If the content is found to be civil and free from malicious intent, it will be restored. However, if this new approach no longer aligns with your preferences, alternative platforms like The Asylum, Kiwifarms, or Sukikira may be more suitable for your style of discussion.

In the coming days, I will be updating the site to better reflect these refreshed values and guidelines.

To those of you who have participated sincerely and constructively, I want to express my deep appreciation for your honesty, patience, and ongoing engagement. This site exists for you. Thank you.

Idk if this post is active but given what happened on the Off-topic page recently, I hope the admin can do something about it.

I think it’s fine to leave that category as it is. It’s OFF-TOPIC for a reason. I don’t think any moderation is needed there cause if you ask me, they could be posting NSFW there and I wouldn’t care. If you’re seeing this admin, thank you for this web.

(OP) I’ve seen racist, homophobe, sexist, troll posts on that page. Like after the US election, there’s that one or two anons who celebrate the results and throw derogatory slurs all around which is the last thing that this site needs.

Yeah, I came here to check if the admin has made any updates because the vitriol in the off-topic page is getting out of hand and it seems like there are more trolls than genuine starmin there now because things just don’t get reported as often and sometimes awful shit even get more upvotes than downvotes… I didn’t want this site to end up like every other anonymous board.

Dang, that’s crazy. (seriously tho, thanks admin 🫡)

YESSS!!!! #Admin-kunforpresidet24.

Seriously tho, I love that you, as the creator of this site, has addressed the issues and is/are taking action. I apologize in behalf of ALL Holopro fans for being inappropriate and uncontrolled within these few weeks.

Thank you admin. Whatever the site devolved into is 100% not your fault you gave us a space and sometimes hiding behind anonymous makes some people act and say things that bring out the worst side of yourself. To be honest, I stopped coming unless something major was happening because I just felt scummy every time I came here and saw some of the posts. It made me feel so sad and clearly it reached the relevant parties because they’d react and that just made me feel worse as a fan. I loved the earlier chats here even if it wasn’t as active and I’m glad to see you’re taking responsibility to keep this space safe for everyone – talents, fans & the community. I just want a space where I can see and talk about the PL activities of all the stars without bringing it on main and to support my oshis with other fans without feeling pressured to participate publicly. And I just want us to have fun watching silly anime boys on TV without it being so serious all the time. This is all supposed to be fun so I hope the moderation team can help keep it that way.
