r/unpopularopinion censors posts about topics they aren't comfortable with

What's more stupid is that i was talking about a cartoon, yes, i did talk about racism, but i was not being a dick to black people in any way, i think it's really ironic that they censor content on a forum dedicated to ***unpopular*** opinions, i agree that inappropriate content such as insulting or spreading hate should be removed, but come on, i was talking about fucking tom and jerry, and how the character *mammy two-shoes* isn't "*teaching kids racism"* like some people claim it does here is my OP, un-edited: [what - Imgur](https://imgur.com/a/TPL1bOs) here is a conversation i had with one of the mods: [irony - Imgur](https://imgur.com/a/rU3BdqM) I do agree that the title of my post is wrong, Tom & Jerry did portray some racist scenes, as light hearted as these scenes are, they're still racist, but my point was that it wasn't actively tyring to teach kids "black man bad white man good", i should've called it "***Tom and Jerry don't teach kids racism***" instead

I know, but it's still ironic because it's a place meant for opinions, what i get from this is that you are only allowed to make posts about dumb shit, or that you aren't allowed an opinion about certain topics lol

It's a popular opinion, and one that always leads to an ugly comment section.

that sub prohibits all race related content because updates to the site wide rules prohibited certain racial posts to to avoid bias they banned all race related posts instead of just some
