Hey sorry for the random question. I saw in a post that you were in the ZS discord server (I don't know if you still are) and I wanted to ask, is it safe for trans/gay people? I saw someone say a lot of sh*t about it in another server but it seemed a exaggerated (about the majority being homophobic/fetishizing "twinks" and the mods allowing)
Hello! I've seen other Zosan blog receiving a similarly-phrased message (I'm assuming from you), so this is a great opportunity to set this odd, baseless rumor straight.
The zosan discord is a safe space for lgbtq+ members. The server is run and modded by queer content creators, and this is the first rule on the server:
Most members in the server are also members of the queer/lgbt+ community, and in the 1+ year I've been there, I have not seen bigotry within the server. The server also runs a bot that automatically bans lgbt-phobic languages and slurs; and while there are disagreements, they are intra-community discussions held by queer people about queer tropes, and are always handled maturely. Most importantly, the server is literally dedicated to zosan, an mlm couple, so I'm not sure how a bigoted person would even want to be part of the server (and how such accusation holds up?).
Assuming you are the same anon as the one who's been sending this ask everywhere, I'm going to include a quote from your follow up asks here too (link 1 | link 2):
I learned (with proof) that the person who was saying it is someone who was never active there and left it after a gift exchange event because they received one but didn't make a gift and didn't reply to the mods who were asking if they wanted help with it, and they started beef with a bunch of people who made a joke about twinks even though the actual convo wasn't about that
I have enough information to confirm that this is the case. The person who spread the rumor has malicious intent, and one of the people they baselessly called homophobic is an mlm himself.
If you still have concerns, feel free to approach the mods. I know at least 2 of them are on tumblr @kenbunshokus @junemel; or you can hit them up through discord. You also said you already saw proof, which is great, but if it is ever needed the server has a record of all incidents.
Tl;dr, the zosan server is made by queer content creators for a queer ship and, naturally, it is safe for other queer people! Join us to share your love of zosan and one piece with us ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ
