So no, it’s not about being polite or good manners at all. You get berated for not being polite and next thing you know you are cancelled. I'm just trying to bring context to this whole fiasco from a "middle ground" perspective. I'm just trying to bring context to this whole fiasco from a "middle ground" said: But as I said, mods on Reddit don't have time to listen to a whole song. Did the OP deserve an outright ban though? Hell no! The mods should've simply removed the song if they found it offensive, or better yet, listened to the whole thing. Mods don't have time to sit and listen through an entire song, and so they make an ASS of U and ME by assuming what something is about. If you don't make it to the chorus, one automatically assumes the song is an offensive diddy about poking fun of people with a thin skin rather than what the OP actually intended. (If I got any of the lyrics wrong, forgive me mate.) However, I can see how the first verse can be taken way out of context. It has a nice 70s Pop vibe to it and has a happy message.
