A good submission is:
- Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
- Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
- Display a clear emotion or purpose
- If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
- "Evergreen" and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
- Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
- Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
- Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
- Max height of 3 times the width.
Rules:
- No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
- Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
- Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
- If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
- ~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
- To be honest, I broke this rule, so it's pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they're still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution

- No desecration of religious imagery.
- This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
- Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
- :hentai-free:
- No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
- No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
- If you think you're touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
- DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I'll add it, just that it's alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition

There's obviously a much closer link between an image of a burning flag that contains a cross and a KKK cross burning, than between an image of a burning flag that contains a star of David and the event in which concentration camp inmates who had been forced to wear golden stars of David were gassed.
christians aren't minoritized and the conflation of crosses is silly. i agree "evokes the ovens" is a stretch
Totally fair. I just don't have any other religious symbols on flags to compare to, since the Saudi and Turkish flags never got their burning versions as an afterthought once it was settled that there wouldn't be an :israel-cool:.
hmm maybe we should revisit those next, separate from this post.
It's not an emoji of a star of david or Zionist flag in an oven
You are quite literally the only person in this whole thread making that argument. If the symbols were actually evocative of what you claim, don't you think there would be one other person agreeing? Or are you just jumping at shadows?
Zionist scratched
you are doing multiple levels of abstraction for your logical leaps which somehow still begin and end at a zionist talking point.
am I supposed to tell you to touch grass now or to kill yourself? I can't tell which one gives me mod powers, is it a combination of both?
in all seriousness, what are you doing?? what is going on?
The plebbit tier zionazi is calling other users plebbitors, priceless. You fuck off back to r/Israel where you will be more welcome
