Why is there a discussion to allow racism in SYG? It sounds insane. No racism should ever be allowed anywhere. Again, warn/thread ban anyone who makes racist comments or posts "ape" comments or posts "ape" gifs in SYG -- everything else can remain the same, because that's the point of SYG.
Racism is NOT the point of SYG.

Mocking suicide is equally or even more offensive than racism, homophobia or other forms of discriminatory hate speech made on a pop music forum like this. So even though what you are saying is correct, it doesn't make sense to weed out a specific form of hate speech and allow other radically offensive comments to slide.
People who make discriminatory comments in SYG do it with (or I hope they do) a level of self-awareness that what they are saying is ridiculous. But...mocking the very real deaths of young kids that are not celebrities nor pop culture figures is pretty below the grain as well.
So this moral compass doesn't make sense. SYG is the place to say horrible things. That's what it is. You either participate or you don't.
