What's the joke?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think the joke was "I hate minorities, this is my unironic view! Race war now, if it aint white it's not right, white power!" which, is about as funny as a child with terminal illness, which is to say.. Not very funny at all, and is in fact quite a serious matter that should be taken as such.

Isn't even an original joke, the meme of trash island in the Atlantic is old as hell, Google "England" for more information.

I would like to know that. I would also like to know what the joke the same fuck told at the same event about black people carving Jack-o-Lanterns out of watermelons was.

I hope @dcat@lemmy.world can enlighten us as to what both jokes are.

According to the modlog, his comment was about how “all the r-slur takes in this thread are why many people hate lemmy, and you guys do get that he’s a comedian doing an act at a conference, right?”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hm. Doesn't sound like much of a joke to me.

Yeah, that's great. What's the point of the moderator removing a comment if somebody like you is going to come along and repost it?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting. I can still see the comment.

What’s the point of having a modlog that allows anyone to publicly see the comment that was removed?

The purpose was to show that they weren’t making some off-colored joke, as some suggested, but rather making a hateful statement in general. It was removed for violating rule 5. I censored out the slur, so if the mods want to remove my comment, they will. Feel free to ask them to do so.
