Funny defense to use for a crowd that spent all their time regularly, hatefully dehumanizing people. The front page was routinely plastered with shit like "Why interracial children are an abomination," Hitler-did-nothing-wrong propaganda, usernames that echoed Nazi slogans and fantasized about mass-murdering non-white people, etc. It was an utter cesspool, and preserving and perpetuating that is a really weird use of dev time and effort.
