it's a "no discussion of male characters" rule, not a "no dudes at all" rule
I will allow it to be pushed pretty far and I think the new mods who are in the process of being added will too. what the rule is meant to do is twofold: 1) keep the comm centered around women without making it feel like it has to be just femslash discussion all the time (not that there's anything wrong with that); 2) keep this from becoming a "circlejerk about the male characters we hate" comm
by all means, you're allowed to mention dudes in your comment as long as your comment doesn't revolve around the dude as a character or shipping the dude with someone. people have been doing it already in this post.
