It is not against site guidelines, as far as I know or have seen

Searching for "degenerate" on the page leads to a single comment for me [0], and that comment uses it completely impersonally:

> When I was a baby queer in the mid 90s, it was functionally impossible to talk to gay adults in person at all because the AIDS epidemic had convinced society that all gay people were dangerous degenerates.

It's perhaps not against the guidelines per se, but linking to flamebait comments does tend to lead discussions in the wrong direction, and tends to be discouraged by mods AFAIK.

I'm not sure why your browser search is not turning up the other comment. Here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32729604

edit: Actually, the comment seems to have been flagged just now, a few minutes after I replied here. At least it is flagged now, I guess.

Perhaps there were some collapsed comments so that's why I missed it.

Still, I believe 1h for it to be removed seems decent time for moderation, especially in such a large and relatively flamey thread.
