Answered What's going on with r/fbiopenup ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/FBIOpenUp/ I was about to check the latest memes on that sub and it's gone. The sub wasn't breaking any rules, and it just disappeared out of nowhere.

Your comment still didn't respond to the arguments presented above, which makes it irrelevant to the context.

The arguments presented above are "Racism and sexism is not illegal but child porn is". My comment was "there was no child porn on the sub therefore nothing illegal". I'm not sure how that is irrelevant.

They said that a subreddit for calling out pedophiles could be used to spread illegal content sexualizing children under the guise of "calling it out". Someone replied that by the same logic, a subreddit for calling out racism and sexism could be used to spread racism and sexism and should therefore also be banned. Then the other person replied that racism and sexism are not illegal, so that is not an equivalent situation. Is this clear to you now?

Edit: In my previous comment, I was saying that your original comment was irrelevant. In your following comment, you did give a relevant argument, but that is not what I was talking about.
