I can somewhat see why they'd regard the Ass Pull example as bashing though that's no reason to completely remove it. Also they just copy-pasted the same edit reason all over even when it doesn't make sense. I can see that some of them were too elaborate but they didn't rewrite them and they just became ZCEs.

Edit: Well, I'm basically restating your point. For Fairy Tail the most edits were removing all mentions of Ass Pulls. However, statements like

Mashima has never been one for planning ahead plot-wise.
are just Flame Bait.

He seems to use "pointless bashing" for a shorthand of anything he doesn't personally agree with and not just things that could be constructed as criticism.

For example he considered this entry from EDENS ZERO to be "pointless bashing":

  • Characterization Marches On: Pino acts very serious and matter-of-fact when first introduced in the Norma arc, which is a far cry from subsequent arcs where she becomes more cheerful and inquisitive.

I fail to see how that's remotely bashing the character.

Now he's been bounced, but if time on this site has taught me anything, it's that editors with an agenda don't let go of the bone they are picking just because of one ban. Gonna keep an eye out for any possible sockpuppets.

If there are sockpuppets in the future, there's also the ban evader thread and its sandbox.

Looking over his comments, how is calling it "Power of Friendship The Manga" bashing?

I guess some people have said that and meant it as a bad thing.

It seemed like he took any reference to The Power of Friendship and Fanservice as a negative point to the series. I can sort of get this, as these can be used in a negative light depending on its use, but it seemed like all of the mentions he cut were in no way negative.

Reminder not to turn this thread into popcorning. The user's been banned, and if they evade, maybe we can make new threads for that.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Yeah, this thread isn't needed anymore. I'll lock it.
