Why? I don't see anything particularly remarkable there.

multiple flagged dead comments for the same kind of race trolling that you're feeding?

This comment (about a muslim conference where the speakers were saying it's never acceptable to beat your wife) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10228134

Or this comment abut how SJWs love victim culture: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10228134

Or this comment saying African Americans have an average IQ of 80: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223344

Or this flagged comment, that got a reply from dang: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9991230

That's quite a lot in a 45 day old account.

(Do you have "ShowDead" turned on?)

No, I don't have ShowDead turned on. I guess that enables showing flagged comments as well? That certainly would explain it.

Ah, yes, sorry. ShowDead allows you to see flagged comments.

That's OK, I learned something new. I thought it was just for shadowbanned accounts.
