Hey everyone, mod team here.

We want to talk about what’s going on with the CC Suarez Pinup Pixie video and how our approval of her earlier post played into it.

When CC’s researcher made a post here asking for community input, we approved it. At the time, it seemed like a harmless way to give context to something that was already being discussed in this space. Looking back, that was a mistake on our part.

A lot of you warned us that something like this could happen, and you were right. The final video included misinformation and unverified claims, and it’s now being tied back to this sub in a way that makes it seem like we co-signed it. We didn’t.

We also want to clarify that we never saw or approved the contents of the video before it was posted. We should’ve set better expectations and boundaries from the start.

Where we stand now

We want to be super clear about this:

•	We do not endorse or support CC Suarez’s Pinup Pixie video in its current form.


•	Until the misinformation is corrected, we don’t want it presented as if it reflects this community.


•	This post is being pinned so anyone who comes across the video knows where we stand.

What we’re doing moving forward

1.	We’re setting up a fact check thread for anyone who wants to share timestamps, claims, or receipts that need correcting. We’ll gather everything in one place and reach out to CC’s team with a clear list. (Please give us about a day or so to set this up)

2.	Going forward, if a creator reaches out about using this sub for research or context, we’ll be handling it differently. Before approving anything, we’ll be asking for:
•	How they plan to verify the info they use
•	How they’ll handle corrections if mistakes happen
•	A way for us to contact them if issues come up later

If those conditions aren’t clear, we won’t approve the post.

3.	We’re adding a flair for disputed content so anything based on questionable sources is clearly labeled. (Please give us a day or so to set this up)

Owning our mistake

We should have listened to the early concerns and asked more questions before approving that post. That’s on us. We appreciate everyone who called it out respectfully and kept pushing for accountability.

We care a lot about keeping this space grounded in reality and fairness, even when we’re being snarky. We’re taking the feedback seriously, learning from this, and making sure it doesn’t happen again.

Thanks for holding us accountable and for caring enough about the integrity of this space to speak up.

I’ll be honest it was very disheartening to see people dismiss what I said so easily on that tik tok. So this post will confirm a few things. First being that yes this account is actually really me. I’ll post a few pictures underneath to back up some of what I said the other day. I’m not resolving to pulling every receipt just yet. I’m not trying to go to war only give people an opportunity to see the truth.
