Is it censorship when you clean up the off-topic, emotionally charged comments that don’t belong in a given community? This is a science sub, why bring up religion on a completely unrelated topic? There’s a good chance it was a bot anyway, they’ve ramped up the divisive posts to maximum.
Are you censoring the wood shavings when you sweep the shop?
If this were a meme about whatever liberal this or that you were talking about then that would be the case. This is a science meme about archeology and not being improper, so labeling things as something they may not be. Yes it does look like its a legitimate back massage in the image, just done in a very nontraditional way that makes it look like 2 dudes connecting on a deeper level, which is what the meme is referencing.
You’re responding to the account that wrote the original comment. Dismissing people’s opinions as “wood shavings” with some half-assed, pooh-poohing comparison feels anti-intellectual.

You could make that argument for the whole thread, though. It’s just that LGBT stuff is treated as always on topic across a lot of communities.
There were times where the atheism and LGBT subs on Reddit were practically indistinguishable.

You brought up pooh. If I were to go on an anti-China rant now and it was deleted, I wouldn’t complain about censorship.
