I've gotten a few DMs from users about them potentially leaving over it.

While i do think the overall statement in the post title is true, I did NOT want to or expect things to go the way they did. Main.

First and foremost, I want to personally apologize to any users that may have been hurt in any way by comments they received or exchanges they had.

I also want to apologize for not keeping a better eye on the comments. As a mod there, I resolve to be better. I made the post, then just handled any reports that came in. Still a few to sort through.

Whomever locked the thread, thank you, I just hopped back on to do that.

So here we are. If anyone has anything to say directly to me, please do. I may not respond immediately due to how things have been going for me offline lately, but as per usual, I basically live here so I am around.

Also I apologize again if this comes off as "me me my feelings." I get self conscious about that sometimes.

    Honestly I don't think you are the one who needs to be doing any self criticism. It was a fine joke and a whole bunch of white posters in the comments had me feeling took-restraint. The Main thing is there is a bunch of people here who don't understand broad concepts that we discuss between the memes. Like that guy who didn't understand that so-called "white genocide" is derivative of a conspiracy theory with anti-semetic roots so deep I would be comfortable calling any believer in it an anti-semite. Thats not on you.

      I still have no idea what the comments are like, and the thread is locked now, but thank you. Appreciate that.
