We are aware that the term 'trap' is a controversial term to disallow, but this decision was not made without justification. We’re now banning the term 'trap.' This ban applies to the word as it is used to describe feminine characters/individuals, not the word in the general sense. Today, we’re introducing a new guideline about appropriate content on the subreddit. On August 2nd, 2020, Reddtior AnimemesMod announced the subreddit's banning of the word 'Trap.' They write: Rule 5 was previously vague, as many users have different thresholds as to what they consider 'sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic content.' We want to work on solving this. Organising, promoting, or encouraging brigades is not allowed. Do not personally attack, name-call, deliberately spoil, bully, troll, bait, or harass other users. These rules state: Do not post sexist, racist, homophobic, or transphobic content.
The moderators of /r/animemes later updated their rules forbidding transphobic content.
