The OP thought furries are weird and appeal to pedophiles. Primary arguments were that they’re often animation-based, which makes it for children (lol), but that furry culture is pretty hard-tied to yiff.
There were one or two fair points but it was mostly just ignorant/misguided points. I don’t think that’s in any way basis for removal, especially not in this comm.
Not having seen the OG post and going solely off what you’ve said, that post to me falls in the grey area of someone who is misguided but maybe could get various opinions in a post, and someone who is abusing a conversational platform to spread hate. I do think at least a minimal amount of review on the comments should be a part in deciding if a topic is inappropriate for the forum, but sometimes it doesn’t matter and the topic doesn’t belong in this community.
If someone came in and claimed that the Nazi party should be in power because all Jews are evil, that should be removed. There is no positive conversation that can come from that, and a user will just use it to talk hate speech. There’s a line between bad unpopular opinion and hate speech, and usually the latter is what gets removed.
Impossible to give one.
Very well-defined reason 🙄 and to be clear, this wasn’t my post or anything. I was arguing against it until the entire post mysteriously disappeared
Can you tell us what it was

Yeah I agree with you then. The dude was just being stupid and mean to a group of people he clearly doesn’t understand.
