‘Twas a riff on this post from ages ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/forbiddensnacks/comments/fskkmc/caught_our_japanese_exchange_student_about_to/
Clearly I forgot that not everyone knows about an obscure post from 5 years ago, so they thought I was serious.
Idk what was said, but it must've been pretty good if a .world moderator removed it.
Boring bastards.
I don't think I personally would have removed this (I was thinking about it before the explanation was posted but decided against it after it was). But I think the other mod who did had a point. Before removal that comment had -21 votes so it's clear most people did not get or approve of the joke either.
While I don't think it's xenophobic, I do think it might encurage harmfull behavior (i.e. some edgy kid actually doing what the comment suggested). Combined with the poor reception of the joke I think the removal was justified. And even if it wasn't it's not nice to call the removing mod a bastard.
It was xenophobic and encouraged poisoning people.
Please post screenshots for those of us who can't access reddit.
Yikes. 😵💫
