This zines number one selling point is that its anti kv, you’re wasting everyone’s time just put it in the bio. Also I’m hard pressed to believe you’ll be “politely declining” kv shipper applications when one of your mods is so vocally violent to them over a silly little anime ship 🙄

Putting pro/anti/whatever in the bio is not required for other zines across multiple fandoms - they expect interested people to read about the zine themselves - so the team felt it was unnecessary. That said, I completely understand your concern about harassment and threatening tweets - that tweet (and the unassociated individual who made threats against kv shippers in a rt) does reflect very badly on the team and has been privately addressed, in a team conduct discussion and a personal conversation with the other person - but I hope that knowing that and that I, as the socmed mod, will be who handles replies to applications and questions here on rs puts you more at ease. Just because kv makes me incredibly uncomfortable, doesn't mean that people should treated poorly online for it. This project isn't going to be for everyone and that's ok, where people spend their talent, money, and time is their choice because it is, as you say, 'a silly little anime ship'.
