    You need to relax. You are talking a lot about the proper way to moderate while actively breaking the rules in a community by being so hostile. Appreciate the irony of that for a second.

    And for the record and my defense, before you accuse me of trying to defend the alt right or something, there are some shitty comments in this thread I wish would get removed. The jokes about sexual attraction to cookware are overdone, toxic, and annoying, and that is just the mild side of what was in this thread. The mods removing the outright hostility is a start, but letting gender and sexual minorities be the butt of the joke over and over is not a great way for a space to be

    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world if you are reading this consider removing those jokes.

      I feel like the jokes get downvoted, deleting it would not really help especially since it’s not against the rules to make bad jokes.

      But I’ll forward it to another mod for reconsideration. Thank you for discussing this in a civil way.

        If it was one I would agree with you. Several people saying it in several places in the thread though, reminds me of that “I identify as an attack helicopter”, which is more transphobic because of its being spammed by people with agendas than because of the explicit content. This seems like a similar, if less popular, kindof homophobic “meme”.
