| − | Post Aesthetics is a poser Facebook group full of poor quality memes. Under the guise of campaigning for social justice, the group has a hypocritical set of policies banning anything the mod team thinks may offend minorities or underprivileged people. It is led by a hypersensitive mod team which will ban for the slightest perceived offense, or often for seemingly no reason at all. The group has a complex system of categorizing some content into requiring either a [[content warning]] or [[trigger warning]], with the moderators arbitrarily deciding what kind of content needs what kind of warning. Infamously, Post Aesthetics requires members to post a content warning on pictures of food. Members are given a very small window of time to edit posts if someone asks for a content warning, and people are often banned for missing the window. If a member accidentally mislabels something, that is also grounds for a permanent ban, since this will be perceived to be making fun of content warnings or trigger warnings, even if the mislabeling was a genuine mistake. | + | Post Aesthetics is a poser Facebook group full of poor quality memes.
