DISCLAIMER!
DON'T BE A RETARD AND COWTIP ANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD!
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!
Ever since its inception, it's had a thriving community, and with that community comes people to moderate said community.
This is where everything falls apart.
Since AniList released in 2013, it has survived alongside the Culture War of the 2010s, communities like Tumblr and the like. As time went on, many of these people would flock to other communities to spread their disease, and AniList was unfortunately a victim.
The site has been mocked over the years due to the mod team consisting mainly of trannys and progressives who will silence you for very minute reasons (saying "trap" for example).
Due to the site fostering these kinds of people, it was only inevitable that controversy would strike...
An AniList mod named "Mex" apparently.
(A)
Also a self-described "transmac sapphic" AniList mod named Electrochemist (Ele) apparently (name's been changed since all this).
(A)
These two, Mex and Ele, didn't feel like the team was doing enough to make the community feel more "inclusive" for LGBT and other marginalized people and felt like many of them didn't care.
That's it.
But it doesn't end there; after these statements were posted, a thread was created for mods to discuss on how things will improve. This is where the site owner, Josh, responds and decides to pull a tard moment and delete all the other replies and lock the thread.
(A)
This is where shit hits the fan.
Mex and Ele are not happy about this move or the response itself, and Mex decides to make another long-winded post.
They would also take this to Twitter (link is dead).
(A)
They pretty much reiterate the same bullshit while also detailing a call they had with some mods and Josh. In the Twitter thread, they showcase a screenshot of Ele having a mental breakdown over being blamed for a mod self-harming apparently (which happens to be what their PTSD is linked to conveniently enough).
As a result of this shit-fest, people started canceling their donations as a form of protest.
Josh would make another response in this thread clarifying his position while also admitting he banned Mex and Ele out of panic and planned to reinstate them later in the day. He also said that he'll be stepping away from community moderation after this point.
(A)
He also says he's completely okay with people canceling their donations over this.
Yea, sure buddy...
As a result of all this, a new rule was added that banned the usage of "trap".
(A)
Almost two years later they would rework the rules to clarify their stances against hate speech and trolling; accomplishing what the two mods wanted, albeit it very late. Not sure what took them so long.
(A)
Now that you're caught up on the circus show that is the AniList team, lets talk about the interesting individuals that make up it.
STATUS: RETIRED AS OF 3/18/2025
(A)
Taluun is easily the most controversial mod on the site, and for good reason. He has the attitude of a Reddit mod (not to mention he looks like one too) who seems to enjoy having to constantly deal with trolls and harassers, even going as far as to say they reinforce him wanting to stick around.
(A)
Taluun tends to use his AniList profile to vent his politics, whether that be Free Palestine, ACAB, conservatives bad, pro-trans rhetoric, or that Donald Trump is a rapist Nazi.
Yes, instead of just outright banning political discussion from the anime tracking website, he says you'll be banned if you express support for Trump. It's no surprise this guy gets trolled.
Even his friends troll him lmao.
Their house is also open to any mutuals who are trans and want to continuously have abortions, apparently.
Taluun also says to not acknowledge trolls, but doesn't seem to take his own advice.
(A)
(A,A,A)
He's also an avid #KickVic supporter.
(A)
(A)
One of his tweets regarding the situation even ended up in one of the court documents.
(A)
Document
He's also a Bernie Bro and has been to a Bernie rally (nothing really noteworthy, just thought the image of him actually at a Bernie rally was kinda funny).
Now that you know who this guy is and how he acts, let's talk about his most infamous controversy.
Due to his nature, Taluun has got himself into many many many spats with random users over the years, but this one would become his most infamous due to his unwillingness to simply end the conversation and it being completely his fault for how it devolved.
His post wasn't even about Shinzo Abe, but because someone brought him up he had to mention that he celebrates his death, and apparently didn't think this would cause a shit-show.
As a user points out, him saying this on the site violates the rule that states, "Making light of or glorifying non-fictional violence is prohibited", and his defense is that he's not promoting him being assassinated... even though he literally did. Celebrating his death is celebrating him being assassinated, there's no other way you can spin that. Also, the rule doesn't specify glorifying assassinations, just non-fictional violence in general, and I feel like celebrating the death of right wingers is glorifying non-fictional violence.
This situation highlights the worst aspects of Taluun that make him the infamous mod that he is; his inability to ignore trolls, his smug superiority attitude, and him using a tragedy to express his personal politics.
Taluun on many occasions has either defended lolicon and the sexual depictions of high school anime girls. One of these characters you see when you first look at his profile, Ririka Kenzaki from the anime Sound! Euphonium, is a character that Taluun has a fascination with. The character is 15-16 and is very clearly a high schooler, while Taluun is in his 30s. More on this later.
Here's some other examples of Taluun defending lolicon:
(Defending Digibro lol)
it seems like he wanted to hide this specific message, since while typing this I went to go find it again only to find it has been deleted.
Taluun is also a fan of Gushing over Magical Girls (MahoAko), an anime/manga that revolves around heavily sexualized 14 year olds (also has a character that's 9 years old).
(A)
(A)
Taluun, being a huge fan of Sound! Euphonium decided to commission soft NSFW art of Ririka and another character named Kanade dressed as the MCs from MahoAko.
Two high school characters dressed as two characters who, if actually portrayed here, would violate the site's NSFW rules.
(A)
Here's what those two characters look like in case you're wondering.
Here's some more screenshots showcasing Taluun being a coomer.
Here's an argument he had with Discord users about the existence of porn addiction.
Another thing, he also has a NSFW account that has since been privated.
Yes, he actually used his education email to create a NSFW Twitter account.
His wife also has a Xitter, where she describes herself as a "Low-key fujoshi".
(A)
User called them out for locking their threads under the assumption they're a troll:
(A)
Threatened to ban someone who had an attitude with them:
(A)
Had some choice words about the Farms in the comments of his troll advice post:
Had a spat with some users on MAL:
(A)
(A)
Got involved in an argument about a rule that treats underprivileged people on the site more fair than others:
(A)
In conclusion, this guy is your typical Reddit mod who is somehow even more obnoxious.
Known Accounts:
TehNut is a software developer and moderator-turned co-owner after Josh sold the site on April 1st, 2024. He is also a proud lolicon consumer and is obsessed with Megumin from Konosuba, despite her being 12-14 years old in the anime. This will all be further elaborated on..
(A,A,A)
He would be featured in many videos, including one where he rages in chat for knifing the wrong guy for his 6,000th kill.
(A,A,A)
Despite playing in a group that would have many of the people in it go on to have short-lived careers (or in SMii7Y's case, a thriving career) and being in multiple videos with more than 100k views, he didn't take the opportunity to become a YouTuber, and would instead become achronic gooner Minecraft mod maker.
(A)
Many of the mods he created/helped create would become popular in their own right as you can see. He would eventually retire from mod making entirely in 2020, and in 2021 he became a mod for AniList.
(A)
It's unknown what spurred him to wanting to become a mod for AniList.
Speaking of his AniList, can you guess what a 30 year old retired Minecraft mod maker with a Megumin pfp who proudly announces he has spent $15,000 on anime and V-Tuber merch watches?
Color me surprised!
Let's take a look at some of that $5,000 Megumin merch.
(A)
(A)
this one is especially interesting, because you see that box on the bottom right of the bed?
Here's what it is.
(A)
An onahole is a Japanese fleshlight.
To clarify, both characters represented here are, at their oldest, 14 and 17 years old respectably.
(A,A)
This dude at 23 years old had a sex toy representing characters no older than 17; absolutely vile.
Something else that I found.
On his Instagram and Osu he has a specific profile picture.
(A,A)
This picture apparently comes from a hentai doujin featuring Megumin.
(A)
Here's some of interesting Discord messages from the 13+ AniList Discord server.
This is who Josh decided to make one of the new owners. This will not be surprising once I talk about him later.
Last thing to note, he doesn't seem to care about opsec.
(A)
Here we have natalie, a retired mod who is a self-described neet weeb degenerate.
On other platforms he expresses himself as a
UwU kawaii weeb E-girl by posting pictures of his face and thirst pictures of his body. He's also an open lolicon.
Here's natalie defending lolicons alongside a user named "CunnyRapist".
"Some lolicons just find them cute guys! I definitely don't watch and read hentai where kids get fucked, I just find them cute! And even if I did I would NEVER EVER want to touch real kids, no way! You can trust me 100%."
The cope and delusions of lolicons will never cease to amaze me.
Here's them saying they don't care being called a pedophile.
(A)
They say they don't care, but when they continue to get pressured on lolicon being pedophilia they try to stop the conversation.
Definitely the action of someone who doesn't care about being labeled a pedophile.
To dive more into this person's history, they used to edit montages for a gaming org called SoaR under the name "trpys".
Their Roblox profile.
(A)
Nowadays they just do trickshotting streams and editing for NativeEstate and Genesis under this name.
(A)
With this name I managed to find a MySpace and Poshmark account that had the same IRL name and location.
Here's Natalie on Discord saying they used to live in PA and that they now live in NC due to it being a trans-friendly state.
Natalie is a MtF troon named Nathaniel.
While working for SoaR they would eventually start going by "vampirenazuna" and their troon name "natalie".
(A,A)
Nothing really to note here so here's a random Twitter spat they had with some troll around this time.
It seems like having random spats on Twitter has always be a pass-time for them, just a month ago they had a spat with Rev Says Desu.
(A)
(A)
This is Lilyissillyyy, a 23 year old troon software developer from Georgia. They're most "known" for creating the Xiao Discord bot.
(A)
They seemed to have had a crisis regarding this bot, because they eventually made it not public anymore and removed it from being open source. This would cause a little bit of controversy, and it prompted someone to make a fucking change.org petition on it.
They would eventually make it public and open source again.
They are also "known" for creating a mod of the indie horror game "Ib" called "Ib: Hardcore Edition"
They apparently asked the game's creator, Kouri, if they can distribute it and they were basically told no and to go fuck themselves.
"Unintentionally reappeared" yea okay lol.
They also have a history of writing fan fiction (fortunately not that kind) and creating art.
Outside of writing fan fiction, having developers tell them to fuck off, and having crises regarding Discord bots, they also like to politisperg on the good ol' Bluesky.
(A)
Here's some of their reposts:
Here's some of the people they follow:
Here's some additional posts:
(A)
Definitely a relatable dream we've all had and is not depressing in the slightest.
(A)
"Harry Potter isn't that great" says the person who used to be a HP fan, even calling yourself a Hufflepuff. Interesting how they seem to have had this opinion only after becoming a tranny...
"pretty"
(A)
(A)
(A)
Or maybe it's because they don't want to get in trouble by not complying with DEI, and not anything to do with you being more "passing"lol.
Outside of Bluesky, they also have a history of politisperging on Reddit and Tumblr.
Here's them defending rape by deception on the 13+ AniList Discord server.
Now that's outta the way, time to get into some really interesting stuff.
DON'T BE A RETARD AND COWTIP ANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD!
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!
What is an AniList?
AniList is an animanga tracking website that serves as a competitor to MyAnimeList, with its main appeal being its simple UI and the ability to rate stuff in decimals (something MAL lacks).Ever since its inception, it's had a thriving community, and with that community comes people to moderate said community.
This is where everything falls apart.
Since AniList released in 2013, it has survived alongside the Culture War of the 2010s, communities like Tumblr and the like. As time went on, many of these people would flock to other communities to spread their disease, and AniList was unfortunately a victim.
The site has been mocked over the years due to the mod team consisting mainly of trannys and progressives who will silence you for very minute reasons (saying "trap" for example).
Due to the site fostering these kinds of people, it was only inevitable that controversy would strike...
2020 Drama
What do you call a person who's surrounded themselves with a community of people who have similar beliefs as them and help validate their mental illness, but doesn't think that's enough and demands more?An AniList mod named "Mex" apparently.
(A)Also a self-described "transmac sapphic" AniList mod named Electrochemist (Ele) apparently (name's been changed since all this).

Taluun the Troon and the Death of Shinzo Abe
Due to his nature, Taluun has got himself into many many many spats with random users over the years, but this one would become his most infamous due to his unwillingness to simply end the conversation and it being completely his fault for how it devolved.
Another great example of him taking his trolling advice to heart.

Also, the rule doesn't specify glorifying assassinations, just non-fictional violence in general, and I feel like celebrating the death of right wingers is glorifying non-fictional violence.
Why would you celebrate someone's death if they didn't deserve it?
This situation highlights the worst aspects of Taluun that make him the infamous mod that he is; his inability to ignore trolls, his smug superiority attitude, and him using a tragedy to express his personal politics.
Taluun "I wanna fuck high school anime girls" the Troon
Taluun on many occasions has either defended lolicon and the sexual depictions of high school anime girls. One of these characters you see when you first look at his profile, Ririka Kenzaki from the anime Sound! Euphonium, is a character that Taluun has a fascination with.

. Very good and promising start to the thread so far, lots of shit to dig up.
This is bound to get a couple laughs out of me (after I read it all. Jesus christ how much can one man archive)
