Agree. The worst thing that happened to fan groups was reimagining mods as content providers/managers and not rule/behavior enforcers. A bad mod can kill a community, but a good mod (better yet, a good mod team!) can also keep a community healthy.

Mods are there to step in when things are too heated, to remind everyone of the rules and send them to their corners to calm down, and to ban when someone is operating in bad faith. People are people, and there's going to be disagreements. The important thing is everyone knows where the lines are, how to end things before lines get crossed, and how to make nice afterwards.

The other worst thing was a trend where claiming to be part of a certain group means that it's up to everyone else around you to make sure you never feel uncomfy at all costs and that they *have* to indulge you when you want to do things/approach things in a certain way, or give you a free pass for bad behavior. While I'm loathe to reference Big Bang Theory--all the show's jokes towards Sheldon's clear autism was not okay. It made his autism a joke, and they ridiculed him for it. In the same token, his repeated sexism, racism, and classism (which often caused real pain to others, particularly the women around him) was also routinely laughed off as "he's just like that!" and that's also not okay. Both things could be true at the same time, and accommodating him in one way would not be the same as giving him a free pass in others.

Sheldon doesn't have autism. His mother had him tested.

Yeah, but she never followed up with that specialist in Houston.
