>Rule 8 is there to keep out the kinds of crappy imageboard users who post pepe/wojak images between every breath, and trolls who are intentionally making shitty/hostile posts to piss off regular users or lower their enjoyment of the site.
I don't think that's true though. Let's say someone writes a good post, but in that post they describe something as "based". While the post would likely not be banned, using that word in such a situation would still be discourage and I doubt what would be going through the mods' minds is "since this user does not use this word in a low effort and annoying way, I do not think that the user switching to some other positive adjective would be preferable in any way" (if I'm wrong on this, then I'm wrong, since the mods are the ones who decide what the rules are for, but from what I've seen I feel like the mods would still have a preference for the use of a different adjective to convey the same thing). Similarly, if a user made a picture where characters would be edited into people of the photo, and one of the people was given a wojak face, even if the wojak wasn't supposed to be some annoying comment on how the person in the picture was "soying out" or something, such a picture would still be looked down upon.
These examples would imply that there is something else about these words, independent of their function (probably history, etymology and aesthetics), that makes them worthy of contempt.
