OkBuddyViltrum is the primary meme subreddit for Invincible comics and the TV series with over 190,000 members. Recently, it has become overloaded with pornographic and otherwise NSFW images posted by its moderation team without marking said content as NSFW (despite it being in the rules).

In conjunction with this, the lead moderator slipperswiper, has been using the subreddit as a means of self-promotion (also against the subreddit's rules), by linking his Archive of our Own (AO3) page, which includes some Invincible fan-fiction he wrote. He has gotten the other two moderators in the subreddit to also post this link in every one of their posts.

Typically, these posts are of an NSFW nature and inevitably a commenter asks for the source. The moderator responds in kind with a hyperlink, where the text shows a link to the twitter account it came from, but clicking on it always sends you to their AO3 page instead.

Dozens of people who called this out had their comments almost immediately removed by said moderators, either being publicly or just outright shadow banned. This has been going on for at least several weeks now.

The attached image is particularly stupid, because many of the NSFW posts related to it (Debbie is a character in the story, of which there is a hefty amount of porn of) were done by the moderator team itself. He is only using the promise of promoting people to moderator in order to increase the number of views of his AO3 story. Transforming a shitpost subreddit into a pornfest to get people to click on an unsuspecting hyperlink to his page goes against the spirit of AO3 and is just scummy.
