Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

We don't?
For some archeologist they'll just dig up an innocuous jar.
"There's evidence of organic matter that has decayed over the years, we traced back through our archives of which microorganisms broke down biological matter and their waste products, to determine the origins, but the results were unsettling."
"It was semen wasn't it?"
"...it was."
"And the sculpture inside?"
"...These ancient people had rather niche tastes"
But each of them will dig up dirt really makes you think.

Is the left one really an ancient statue? Not saying no women looked like that at the time but the proportions, style and pose sure seem very "modern coded".
there's really nothing about it that wouldn't have been perfectly feasible for people throughout all history, and if it's always been possible then it's safe to assume there's probably been a culture that's even more into it than we are.
Someone postet it in another comment already. It is really an ancient statue: https://collections.lacma.org/object/31379 Made in the year 200.
That thing must be covered in ancient cum.

Apsaras are very old and traditional and had sexy thick curves, that's not a modern thing at all.
Depends what is ancient and modern for you, but statues with those kind of proportions have existed for at least more than 1000 years on the Indian subcontinent.
I'm unconvinced by the whole argument that what is attractive is determined by the media rather than the other way around. IMO it's more of a case of the media attracting a lot of people at varying levels of attractiveness and the most attractive having their usual advantage, hence there's an unrealistic proportion of attractive people represented in the media (which then messes with our own metric because it skews what we think is common and rare beauty since we see media all the time).
Statues were kinda like the media back then, at least in that someone taking the time to carve one might have been more picky with who it was modeled after. I'd be very surprised if humanity didn't always have a similar range of attractiveness to what we have today, though with less obesity going back to the times when there wasn't so much surplus food (and it wasn't made very accessible to the general population when there was).
I also suspect that the "older postures" before the "modern postures" were the result of control freaks gaining influence in schools and yelling at kids about their posture, and the "modern posture" is more of a case of people getting tired of that shit and ignoring them and going back to more natural postures.
i kinda feel like media outright lies about what is attractive, both in that "sexually attractive" and "aesthetically pleasing/handsome" are conflated, but also i just don't get the vibe that most people actually find "conventionally attractive" people that appealing when push comes to shove.
Maybe it's just me, but a lot of the people i see day to day IRL are so appealing that i almost want to laugh when i see hollywood actresses being called attractive. I've seen people in the grocery store who made me want to whimper like a dog that knows it can't eat a thanksgiving turkey, i struggle to find that shit online when actively searching for it!
It's kinda like how chinese foot binding was/is seen as something desirable, but like.. Basically no one is actually into that, right? Even people raised in that culture surely don't see a foot folded in half and start drooling, right???
Yeah, I agree. I think culture can sometimes get skewed by the specific tastes of more powerful people but it doesn't actually set what people truly find attractive. That combined with how much a lot of people seem to like jumping on bandwagons and base their outward tastes on popularity as much as (or more than) their actual tastes.
Tits, tits never change.
Would they be wrong, tho?
Source for the former?
Probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakshini this one is in LA California. https://collections.lacma.org/object/31379
"Tutelary" more like "tittylary" ayyy lmao
awooga
Ah yes my favourite ancient god Astolfo.
(This is mine).
Plastic won't last that long, next!
You know, that old statue was probably painted - not just the bare monochrome brown you see now. Old statues were more ephemeral than you'd think.
Bro doesn't know some of those are made of the most high quality materials known to man, lol
Gooners are no cheapskates, my guy, they have taste
Plastic.
I saw many of them being made of ceramic
Oh yes, in that case that may well last 10,000 years.
Yea, good ones are ceramic, alloys, even treated wood, resins, afaik.
plastic lasts thousands of years, no?
As micro plastics.
...and they'll be right
