My first thread featuring two stunning black male athletes was deleted - and then, when I tried to recreate the post, it was edited to omit the term "shirtless." Then when I searched "thread titles" for "shirtless", the most recent consecutive thread titles featured many white men (featured below). How interesting that things become "messy" when two fine, impressive, accomplished black men are featured....
It is completely fine to set standards but it is shameful to see bias being played out here with the mods. If you want to go hard against this pic, and the term "shirtless" do the same for all of the other white men featured on this site with all kinds of "messy phrases to lure people in." Using this logic, I am learning on ATRL it is ok to be messy and lure people in if the subjects are white, but certainly not if they are black.
Here is the photo that was deleted and then censored repeatedly:
Meanwhile, here are the most recent consecutive titles where the term "shirtless" has been permitted:

Again, I don't mind standards being set - but don't apply them unequally to subjects of different races.
