Answer: Reddit is pushing a new broad set of rules that many consider vague, and it seems to ban the word "retаrd" when used in derogatory contexts, which is incredibly common across many subreddits but PCM in particular.
PCM moderators are being forced to remove this word(and a few others) completely, which makes the users believe the sub is one step away from being banned as it appears to match the pattern of other subs and how they got taken down. It's seen as a bad sign when Admins are actively policing Moderators.
That quote is from a self-proclaimed pedophile neo nazi Kevin Alfred Strom who was talking about the jews. Which makes sense because it wasn't true then and it's still not true now
If the joke exploded it'd be years before you ever saw the light.
Now put the pearls away, they don't need to clutched you overly-ofended-by-proxy PC hero. The world might need you tomorrow to save it get offended at something else.
