"Hey, icounter.

Race-based humor is highly offensive and, overall, not cool. Your post is being removed because of that reason. Please refrain from that kind of offensive humor in the future."

Where do you draw the line then, because obviously a joke about dying hipsters is fine seing that post is still up so I dont understand the logic.

Either you allow that sort of dark Humor or you don't, I personally think as long as it is clearly a joke and doesn't get reported too often it should be fine.

But that is just my opinion, what is yours?

A little dark humor isn't always bad, and we have to make judgment calls according to the situation, but racial jokes are a particularly sensitive subject and almost never worth allowing. Many people, including me, can enjoy an off-color racial joke here and there, but not everyone is ok with them and we have to respect that and take a hard stance against that sort of language regardless of context or how we personally feel about it.

I had a comment removed for calling someone dumb for listening to youtubers instead of learning on their own. I think it depends on which Mod is the most sensitive that manages to see your post that day. Sometimes the inconsistencies of the mods are apparent, but rarely happens commonly.
