One of my big gripes with the manga subreddit was the focus on constant character objectification. It’s fine if you like that, but there were always tons oneshots and fan-art that were basically porn, instead of focusing on an interesting story.
Do you think things will be different this time? Do you want them to be?
Honestly, it’s not just the community, but it’s also what is currently being published and translated. A lot of popular manga, rightly or wrongly, is targeted towards men, and the lewd stuff is popular. The twitter manga that teases and promises more on fanbox, that stuff sells. It’s relatively low-effort and easy to generate revenue. People are interested in that stuff.
I’m personally alright seeing that stuff, but I’d like to see it more clearly labeled so it can be skipped or filtered.
[]withoneshotin it isn’t enough, probably something likeshortortweetor something along those lines.Generally I lean personally towards that kind of stuff, but it does tend to over perform, I think an idea solution would be something like.

Tags for this sort of stuff, like erotic/one shot

By default they are filtered out, and are opt-in.
It’s important to make it opt in so that people who filter out ecchi don’t end up in a ghost town.

I’m hoping there will be a bigger focus on discussions of new chapters. Personally I’d love a rule where each ‘chapter’ that is posted must be at least, say, 5 pages, because I’m tired of those 2-page Twitter comics. I’m hoping that would be enough to prevent at least some of horniness.
A tag for “mini-manga” would be nice, but I definitely don’t think it should be completely removed.
