You had to actively click on the thing that took you there.
If there was a thread with racist comics or jokes in it, does the same standard apply? If you don't like racism just don't go in there? (I'm not saying the YLYL thread was equivalent to such a thread.) If yes, I disagree (and can expand on why). If no, what do you see is the difference between the two that makes removing one reasonable and the other not (not just that they're different, but what makes them different in terms of removing one and not the other)?

Why?
