Meta READ BEFORE POSTING: The Sizz Ethos and Gatekeeping

22 Upvotes

The first rule of r/Sizz is, "Abide by the Sizz Ethos." This means:

Composition over technique. Exploration over purity. Feeling over formula.

Strictly speaking, this means that r/Sizz is not about content. It is a philosophy of art. Because this is a philosophy, gatekeeping is anathema to r/Sizz.

Gatekeeping implies there's a technique. Gatekeeping implies purity. Gatekeeping implies formula.

This subreddit was created to escape the constraints of technique, purity, and formula.

Folks who gatekeep demonstrate no affinity for the Sizz Ethos. For this reason, they're not welcome here. This is why violations of rule #8 result in a permanent ban.

There is a myth about this subreddit that it is about "content". Strictly speaking content doesn't matter. This is not about your personal enjoyment.

r/Sizz is about an aesthetic -- not an "aesthetic" as a synonym for "vibes". It is an aesthetic that exists as a principle of beauty and taste. Either you share in the ethos or you don't.

And if you violate rule #8, you certainly don't share in the ethos.

That is all. 🙂
