    “Protecting our community," by destroying it. If you don’t have a community, then it can’t be toxic. Were the comments so bad that this was the only solution?

      Most streaming services don’t do comment sections. That’s mostly a YouTube and TikTok thing where the sites depend on user submitted content and also function as a social network. Despite this, people talk about shows on those services, just elsewhere.

        Most streaming services don’t have a ‘community’.

        You’re a netflix customer, not a part of a community. There is no Netflix or Amazon, etc community.

        YouTube has a community though.

        See how that works?

        it definitely helps that anime tends to be niche and not mainstream (though there’s still some toxicity, ofc).

        Most comment sections under crunchyroll episodes are super wholesome and cheerful, people are mostly celebrating how good the episode was and how cool the next ones will be.

          I meant besides crunchyroll… but are you trying to imply that they shouldn’t have done this or that their harmful content is not a problem that should be dealt with?
