Not only did an admin post some awful sexism, but none of the other mods removed the comment or banned them.

So not only are we dealing with letting racism slide, sexism as well. Really thought we were better than this, guess not.

    come on. you dont know me, but i know you. i know you're not just here to troll. so why are you trolling?

    the point they were making is that "why are you letting racism run rampant" or however you specifically phrased it is a loaded question. the extremely common example of a loaded question is, "why are you beating your wife?" This is a good example because it is a horrible act that you are just assuming the person in question did and then demanding that they come up with an excuse for. "im not beating my wife" is a weak response, even if it's true. the only way to respond to a loaded question is just to point it out, which is exactly what the admin did

      What I see is an incredibly dismissive admin response, followed up by an inappropriately antagonistic response that was then doubled-down on, followed by a user ban.

      You may have taken umbrage at the initial phrasing, but that doesn't excuse the response.

          Sorry, but this is such an asshole-redditor-logician excuse for making a shitty comeback. You could have just accused him of asking a loaded question instead of making a crude reference that most people aren't going to "get" without your explanation.

      Just because y'all seem to be incapable of seeing the racism that multiple users have complained about (and reported with no action) does not make it a "loaded question" you absolute buffoon
