I don't know if it was a coincidence but what if this was intentional? Like you could imagine some teenager would actually do that kind of vandalism... paint HARD in front of a glowing R sign. THATS FUNNY. It's stupid but the fact that it's offensive makes it more funny. It's also realistic.
So in that sense it's literal censorship of ideas, watering down artistic expression to conform with contemporary norms.
From the same article, it turns out that it was unintentional. The R has the word shop under it. It's named after a character who owns the item shop nearby, where the red arrow is pointing.
The graffiti itself appears all over the place in the subway area along with various other english words, and just happened to line up right there. It was entirely unintentional.
Which means they had to go out of their way to be offended over something that was not intentional. That way of thinking and behaving has to be so fucking tiresome. Tilting at windmills.
It shows they don't have anything substantial to complain about and are grasping at straws to score any gotcha against the game. It's like all the lawfare against a former president.
"Hey, it looks like Trump's accountant forgot to use a decimal point here on one of his tax returns 10 years ago! We got him."
That's because built into a lot of regulations and laws are ideas the Founders had, one of which is the "debt jubilee." "At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the Lord’s release." (Deuteronomy 15:1-2)

In all honesty, that is a gotcha ... but not admissable since the IRS only counts back 7 years. Oddly Biblical number ...
