Definitions
(India) the act of enforcing one's own perceived moral standards on others.
“Left-ish communities ban the content, and harass the fans through internal moral policing. Woke lolicons end up having to hide their association, or risk losing all their left-leaning friends. "No rules lol" communities like 4chan don't, so fashy lolicons thrive. It sucks.”
