    It’s. Not deleted, the first comment to use the word genocide was the Courtney person that I accused. They are the one that initially used the term genocide. Here the text of the comment before the word genocide showed up.

    Apparently the mods feel that you’re allowed to advocate for violence, but I’m not allowed to point out that advocating for violence is wrong.

      Identifying abuse of the concept of genocide isn’t against the rules, abusing the concept of genocide (Regardless of if you use the exact word or not) is what’s against the rules. The removed comment seemed to be bending the meaning of the word genocide to incorrectly accuse the commenter of such, or doing something related. It’s OK to use the word genocide to identify and call out abuse of the concept. It’s not OK to abuse the concept.
