thelongcon kindly put together our thoughts on it:


Last week, a nazi punching meme was posted to the community which we then took down.

Deletion reasons:
1.It referenced a recent real life tragedy, which as a bakerstreet meme, does not treat it with the seriousness the topic deserved. If you wish to play out that specific scenario, a PSL would be better served.

Other similar memes such as The Inglorious Basterds meme, and related memes exist and have been posted.

2. Whatever the intent, the meme came off as trolling and wank-baiting.

Comments are enabled on this post, but those that encourage wank will be screened/deleted.

-----

I'll add a word since I'm the one who took it down. I apologize for not giving an explanation, but I did not see the meme as anything more than trolling. Even now, knowing what happened, I would still delete it.

We continue to allow memes based on war as we have done before but we do expect you, players, to know how to handle them with maturity.

How is reason number 1 then not applied to memes that involve pedophilia and sexual slavery?

Those are tragedies that happen around the world every day. If what you need is proof, I can happily link you to recent news.

Your reasons to take down that meme and not others are still very unconvincing, mods.

"Treat it with the seriousness the topic deserves."

I fail to see how that is a proper answer.

D/a right, because everyone plays the uderage meme with the seriousness the topic deserves.

if i had to guess it's probably because those memes aren't "everyone gets victimized by harvey weinstein: the meme" or "the thai sex trafficking circuit meme"

This is part of it, yes. As stated, we are perfectly fine with the Inglorious Basterds meme that popped up after the meme that was removed though part of that meme is about scalping nazis.

Though pedophilia and sexual slavery (as anon seems to love bringing up) are horrible and real tragedies, the memes that pop up regarding them are not directly referencing specific incidents like your examples of Weinstein and Thai Sex Trafficking.
