I took back comments that assumed it was a form of humor, which I would have understood, but the replies to me playing along threw out that context.
My first reply was to ask "if that keeps the fascists away, what would keep Luigi away", and that's when I started seeing a lot of F-bombs and "more people should be like Luigi" type of responses build up. I even clarified my comment, giving what amounted to another chance. More F-bombs, more Luigi emulation replies, etc. I removed the more explicit examples head-on and gave a temporary response to the one that half-amounted as a meme, which was the "did nothing wrong" response, even looking at past comments from everyone.
Yeah, once I noticed the post title it made sense why you removed the comments.
But even without that:
It's ridiculous that people leap to the ".world is full of pro-corprate fascists" because they disagree with a single mod.
There's more than few instances I dont like, so I've blocked them and never see them. I don't know why people with the axe to grind against .world dont do the same thing.
Edgy kids just want to find the line and then constantly put their toes over it and claim nothing is allowed because they personally crossed a line.
