I felt like it was pretty cut and dry, since the way I see it the rules against racism/sexual creepiness are meant to keep out unfunny tgstation memes.  Spegr jokes and beepsky saying "eat penises and shit out abortions" don't count.

100% the reason why I was for removing that stuff. To my mind, none of it was anything to do with sensitivity or people taking offence, but "does this contradict the rules or not". Whilst it was mild, where do you draw the line if sperg jokes are literally in the game?

Simple.  If tgstation runs it into the ground, it breaks the rules.  Otherwise it stays.
