Post Removal Rant

I know the mods have so much on their plate, but sometimes the decisions of the ACOTAR mods frustrate me. I had a post where I quoted Elain saying she belongs to no one and challenging the idea she owes time or attention praising her as a feminist icon and it got removed. When I questioned why and pointed out that I didn’t express an opinion on the ship and that the importance of her expressing autonomy is a important regardless of who she ends up with, they did not change their mind. They said it was removed because it could incite a ship war. That’s not one of the rules and isn’t always applied, so it bothers me. It also disappoints me that female autonomy is considered inflammatory. 😔 I know modding is hard work and the ship wars probably make it harder, but I think it’s going too far. There’s not reason an Elucien couldn’t also cheer on Elain expressing those sentiments. In fact, I’ve seen some discuss how choice for Elain could choosing Lucien despite disliking the bond.
