The chance of them asking for non-OW expies of rl war criminals is not zero, though. Not to hop Johns here but this is why the desert peach person slipped people's radar so long.

[(Anonymous)]

Luckily, you as another exchange participant can avoid interacting with them at all!

[(Anonymous)]

How do you suggest I as another exchange mod avoid interacting with them at all short of preemptively banning them, which is what this subthread is about.

[(Anonymous)]

What?

This thread's talking about the exchange experience for other participants, not the mods. If you're going to be precious about potentially interacting with participants and their dodgy nominations, don't become an exchange mod.

[(Anonymous)]

No it isn't.

[(Anonymous)]

No one is stopping you from banning whomever you want! But I thought we were talking about yuletide, where the mods have not banned them.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you know the mods haven't banned them? It looks like the last Yuletide they participated in was 2018.

[(Anonymous)]

In terms of actual fandoms, people who know the fandom know what it's about, and they're the ones potentially writing for it.

Not equivalent to writing an OW archetype nom.

CYRT

The solution for that is not to offer fandoms with expies of RL war criminals. Presumably, if you offer that fandom, you would know what you're offering. No one was being tricked into writing Desert Peach's semi-fictional (?) Nazis.

[(Anonymous)]

no, the solution is to ban that shit and the people pushing it so your exchange doesn't get a reputation as a place where nazis can hang out unimpeded

[(Anonymous)]

When requests are hidden you can absolutely offer a fandom with expies of RL war criminals without expecting to be slammed with "actually, this request is for the RL version of Hitler lol"

[(Anonymous)]

That's what the default button is for.

[(Anonymous)]

jesus fucking christ that's also what banning is for. what is your reasoning for going so hard for actual nazis?

[(Anonymous)]

DC

your weird unhinged comment responses

[(Anonymous)]

and that's also what banning people is for! yayyyyy

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, Jan. You'll probably have non-Nazi-fetishist reasons to offer the actual Hitler expies and were evilly TRICKED by the Nazi fetishist.

[(Anonymous)]

it's a little known fact that schindler's list only won an oscar because everyone on the board was a nazi fetishist

[(Anonymous)]

Oh have we reached the ‘if you don’t agree with me 100% you’re a nazi’ part of this argument.

[(Anonymous)]

Not what I said. Being a Nazi fetishist doesn't make you a Nazi. But "the person requesting a Hitler expi is a Nazi and tricks me, who innocently offered a Hitler expi, into writing their Nazi fetish" is surely a take.

You have it backwards

Re: Innocent Hitler Offerer

[(Anonymous)]

imagine offering charlie chaplin movies and your recipient just wants to fuck the great dictator

[(Anonymous)]

ok so you think no one can ever write about nazis without making it a fetish act then. cast spielberg into the same hell as aquatics

[(Anonymous)]

Hate to tell you, coalie, but your Yuletide fic isn't Oscar bait prestige cinema.

[(Anonymous)]

it is though
