And how do we know that now? You've censored it, and it's down to your diminishingly trustworthy word.
Since when did we shift from free speech, even unlikable speech, to censoring that which is uncomfortable? I know I'm not the first to make this point, but come on, this is hard to defend as anything less than censorship because it makes you uncomfortable.
And I have no problem with it making you uncomfortable or angry or whatever. But this place was always meant to get away from that Reddit mentality of constant censorship on the emotional reactions of controlling mods. You were legitimately better than this. And I get that modding leaves anyone jaded, but it's such a shame that you don't want to even consider that maybe you're not doing the right thing by the rest of the sub.
There are several ways to find out exactly what was said if you really want to.
Let me be clear about something for a moment when it comes to "free speech" regarding KIA. I am more open and lackadaisical on viewpoint discrimination than anyone, in either KIA's history of moderation.
Prior to coming here, you have never been able to advocate for children getting raped. No in in KIA1 ever allowed it. No one ever allowed in KIA2 ever allowed it before I got added. I carry on that tradition.

"Please sir, you're free to speak in this specially designated free-speech zone"
What a fucking joke.

Cool, great, but frankly, I doubt you in that this comment included what you say it included. It might be interpreted that way. But I doubt it's as cut and dry as you are making it seem to be. Your word does not have the trust-worthiness that you seem to think it does. And going "well, if you just jump through these hoops that make your experience objectively more frustrating, you can still totally follow along" is utterly stupid.
So sure. Carry on and continue to pretend like nothing is a problem. Like you're not jaded and beginning to ignore long-time users here simply because YOU don't want to acknowledge there's a problem. Hide behind that which is easy to defend while you ignore your other shit solely because other places are less open and "lackadaisical". Because again, fuck that pedo shit, but I still doubt you.
Edit: After looking it up, yeah, I don't think this should have been removed. Is it an asshole comment? You bet. Is it encouraging rape? No, and only someone demented would think so. Especially considering you don't know the circumstances. What if the man who got her pregnant was also legally underage? I'm not a fan of it, but I'm not retarded enough to not know that these days, sadly, kids are getting sexual far younger than they should. And they shouldn't. That isn't encouraging rape, and you damn well know it.
I don't care that you don't trust me. I don't trust your judgement because a) the comment is clearly victim-blaming a minor, which is glorification of violence; b) you assume that the only correct rule enforcement should occur without the ability for a moderator to use interpretation, c) in the reply you've justified the ending of all rule enforcement of all kinds.
No. Because in so doing you have entire removed the purposes of enforcement altogether. By your logic, there should be no removals, nor bans, for any reason, under any circumstance, because all removals can be re-displayed as "preservation" including illegal content.
