    Rule 2 also calls on civility, which I think is important here, because your comment (in context) comes off as a troll looking to start something.

    I probably would have removed it too, but would have explained why it was inappropriate (in several ways).

    YDI.

      Why though? Because of slightly humorous wording? And how context matters? Or do you mean that posting anything critical of the left (even if it is also critical of the right for the same reasons) to lemmy.world might be considered as a “troll looking to start something”?

        None of that came across humorous in the slightest

        And how context matters?

        A bunch of racists were mad about a game featuring Africans, and you immediately compare it to being mad about “sexy women”.

        Or do you mean that posting anything critical of the left

        Right wing talking points from the r/KIA days isn’t really being critical of “the left”

        even if it is also critical of the right for the same reasons

        Entirely different reason, racism


        Yeah, your comment absolutely reads like a troll.

          I’m talking about my reasons, not their. For me it’s all about both sides trying to censor or cancel content I might potentially be interested in. If we’re being honest, for me sexual content censorship is more impactful, and for this game I join to criticize the right simply because of solidarity, but I don’t really want to play this particular game. Right wing shit doesn’t hit me personally at all because I’m white and cisgender. Left wing shit hits me heavily all the time. But I still speak against both. If I was 100% egoist I would only speak against left wing stuff because it’s what causes me personally any discomfort at all.

            All of which marks no change in my opinion on your comment in context and its removal, regardless of my opinions on your personal take on things.

            Edit: just to say, your other comments just confirm for me what I suspected was the case, so I’m just going to note that I stand by YDI and thats the last I have to say on this.

      This was my mod action. Rule 2 is also about hard-line stances. This is the first time I’ve ever moderated for that reason, but it fit.
