    Show Four edited screencaps from the Gabriel Dropout anime. In the first, Satania sits at her school desk and says out loud with a smug expression, "I didn't follow the rules", where "follow the rules" is written in Comic Sans against a black background to indicate that it was edited in. The second screencap is a wide shot of the whole classroom, the camera above the teacher's head and centered on Satania. Satania continues, "And I have no intention of selfcritting for it.", the word "selfcritting" again clearly indicated to be edited in. The third screencap shows Satania laughing maniacally, with a cat-mouthed expression and her hand lifted in a cartoonish expression of evil; the fourth screencap shows Satania crying profusely, standing in the hallway beside the door to the classroom, holding two buckets of water as punishment.

    But anyways, what is the deal here? My impression of Pluto was as a whole positive. Sometimes he was a bit of a dingus, sometimes he was a bit sussy, but overall my impression was positive. But the modlogs would indicate that he was just constantly acting a fool and getting into trouble here and there. So what gives?

      check the modlog (there are 7 pages dedicated to him). but basically:

      • kept being sectarian (expressing his dislike of Maoists, anarchists, etc.)
      • kept posting and commenting in the wrong places (i'd say half of his modlog is just this)
      • would crosspost to 10+ communities for every post
      • seems to have instigated a lot of the arguments he had here
      • was temp/perma banned many times (on different instances too) for all these reasons but despite apologising didn't change his ways
      • and may have doxxed someone (check the modlog for this, a mod called him out on it)

      but my impression of Pluto was initially positive too. feels weird seeing a fairly prominent Hexbear user be permanently banned, but wow he sounds like a lot for the mods to deal with and banning him seems more than justifiable to me now.

      edit: doxxing point from here

        What was the last straw? All of these violations seem like stuff that just gets deleted without much thought (duplicates, rule 8, etc) and some sectarianism which didn't seem that bad to me.
