That may or may have been warranted but these days "some arguably racist stuff" is a too vague description to be meaningful to act on, or pass judgement by on its own.

Do you have the link to the relevant reddit-thread for better context?

It's been pasted multiple times in the comments, but here it is:

If it was just one of those examples, sure. But there are multiple things that are 'arguably racist' combined with apparent activity on 4chan, I'd say it doesn't seem just coincidental.

We don't know whether this has anything to do with the suspension though, everything that's being written is all just theories.

There is about 42% of population which do not support George Floyd protests. White mode is also not really racist: at least it is less racists than certain members of US government.

However, he is based in Russia and that changes everything.

I saw this response debunking the whole mod accusation:

As for 4chan activity, how on earth can anything there be attributed to anyone ? It's a anonymous messaging board. I can go there and claim that I'm the prince of Wales and start making egregious statements.
