I mean, being a weeb is not synonymous with loli stuff, especially nowadays where anime and manga have become so mainstream.

But I don't believe even for a second the narrative of "now that the good guys are off, reddit has decayed to the point anime fans are clamouring for loli" they already were, since the beginning, it is a constant and unavoidable "issue" (in the sense of controversial) in anime communities, always was and probably always will be.

Heck I remember one of the main mods of r/animemes posting loli on other subs, so it isn't like the people that directed the subs had much problem with it, it was just part of the rules they had to enforce due to multiple reasons (people not wanting to see that, it being a meme community, reddit rules over all, etc)
