OMFG. This seems more like bad sarcasm than hate speech. I feel fairly confident that no toddlers will suffer any harm due to this.

Interesting that you seized upon this particular instance, though.

Have I missed your posts objecting to all the racist, homophobic, misogynist, antisemitic, pro-fascism content?

If so, sincere apologies.

If not--for the love of whatever God your parents taught you to love--get your priorities straight. My mind is genuinely boggled that someone thinks this kind of poor taste is actually harmful, when there are THOUSANDS of uploads advocating genocide for various religious groups, ethnicities, sexes, and sexualities.

Please tell me EXACTLY who suffers from an anti-toddler username. Are you seriously suggesting that someone will see their name and think "Hmm...I'm going to go out and arrest some innocent toddler?"

Honest question.

Enquiring minds want to know why this particular issue has your knickers in such a snitch.

OK, buddy! The only posts I've made here so far in this forum have NOT been related to any such issues - it's literally just mentioning spam reviews on certain uploads in one instance and concerns about user behaviour in another. Where's your proof that I would stoop so low in the manner you just described?! Oh, wait...

"Where's your proof that I would stoop so low in the manner you just described?! Oh, wait..."

Wait for what? For me to explain that you clearly and completely missed my point, which was that of all the awful things being posted to IA, THIS is the kind of thing that upsets you?

The key phrase in my original post was "...objecting to..." Check it out.

Having said that--YES, Jeff Kaplan--I hear you, and will stop replying to ridiculous posts here. I should have realized that the common wisdom against reading any online comments holds true on IA as well. Because obviously, this way madness lies.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of person would consider it a "Win" that this dipshit's silly comments have been deleted, though.

Personally, I would have focused more attention on all the racist, fascist, misogynist content that the site is drowning in. I guess making a bad joke is objectionable, but advocating for violence and genocide is free speech. And YES, Bringer of Preservation--I know that load is not yours alone to carry.

But I think your comment says more about you than it does about IA.

PS: Still waiting for someone to explain *exactly* how this sort of thing is harmful and *exactly* who suffers from it.

I'll be over here, holding my breath waiting...
