Had a hard time to find this one back (the research function on the forum would need some improvement, also for new subbers who look for their way in topics. To find this back, got to type “I don’t like her hair…”).
Interesting topic and point of views.
aetling:
What I have noticed over time is how we tear apart female actresses for the littlest things, from what they are wearing, the sound of their voice, the way they walk, if her make-up isn’t entirely perfect. If I’m being entirely honest, we should be able to see some of ourselves in them, instead the comments go out of their way to comment on how ugly an actress is, how there’s something wrong with her nose, how she’s a plastic surgery monster, how terrible an actress she is when her male co-actors don’t get criticism on the same grounds. Even in shows where the acting is absolutely perfect, I’ll see comments about how the actress looks ugly, or too old.
Is this really needed? Are you adding any value to the conversation? Does tearing down someone who’s working hard at their dream/profession make you feel better about yourself? Has that hateful comment improved your life in anyway?
aetling:
I also get when people criticise makeup or clothes sometimes but most of the time when commenters criticise these things they also crticise the actress not the make up artist, not the costume department. They also don’t say, “I don’t think that colour suits her” or “I don’t like the way they styled her hair” they say things like “She’s looks ugly” “I hate her hair” and that kind of stuff is exhausting to read over and over again.
Also there are times when comments like that aren’t even needed?
It’s where freedom of expression vs. censorship frontiers could be blurred/blurry.
To echo you:
Back to the subject and the core of your concerns, it converges with:

And the call we got last time back in September (if I remember correctly) with Viki.
2 things: inactivity and incompetencies.
Both are abusing activities.
1. Inactivity that led some of us to the bot:
We defended at the same time people who were truly inactive on their dramas (either CM, either the French mod, either the English team) and …
Self awareness vs. police patrol
