I made a meme about a bad experience I had with some reddit mods

Hey, it's ok. You're in a safe place now.
- Yes, we're all into freezed peaches and no moderation here

moderation like this is pretty stupid. why not just let people go nuts in a thread? it's contained to a fucking thread. That's the whole point of The construct of a thread.
- Going nuts in a reddit thread quickly becomes Black and brown people bad, white people good
  A lot of people are sick in the head over there.
  
  why don't the mods just spam pictures of cocks when people start acting weird
- If it gets racist or vile you still need to shut it down. This is a topic poised to become racial stereotypes told by majorities about minorities. You usually don't verify the origin of the claimants.
  E.g. those Turks and their bazaars trying to scam each other of the last penny, or something antisemitic.
  I might have erred on the side of caution as well.
  
  or something antisemitic.
  awful
  those Turks and their bazaars trying to scam each other of the last penny,
  Speaing as a turk, accurate.
  
  i moved from the united states to a country which has a pretty intense haggle culture. without being able to talk about it, you might come here and think you're just being scammed by everyone.
  
  Why punish me for this though? Nothing in the original thread was racist and I asked it in the way I thought would best avoid racist answers. The answers on the thread before it was taken down weren't racist either.

It would be kind of funny if, in protest, mods set automod to remove every post for inciting violence

lol what happened?

Link to thread?
- Here you go. All I wanted to know about was haggling in other cultures from their point of view.
  Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and delete the reddit post. Here is the title and body of it for preservation purposes:
  Are there any cultures where either today or historically it was considered rude NOT to haggle?
  Like in the scene from Life of Brian, where he goes to buy something from a street vender, and when he pays the initial asking price the vender gets upsets and forces him to haggle. Does this happen in real life? I suppose in a culture where haggling is normal, if a vender intentionally sets a high initial price and then the person just pays it, they could feel like they were given too much money for the item. But money is money, you know?
