Hmmm, censored? As long as nobody downvotes me to greyness or deletes the topic, I don't think it will be censored. Also, both are drama. Kanye's is just funny. Relevant to us? Don't think so. This post, however, touches the topic of an allegedly prevalent attitude on the blockchain that we could strive to observe.
I'm curious about human behaviour, so this whole topic is interesting to me. Kanye's thingy, though, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ people are dumb all the time. He's not famous for being bright.
There are quite a few replies greyed out in this thread. Which draws double the attention to them, so maybe it is backwards censorship more like advertising them to be read. I don't know. I guess you and the OP are having a genuine conversation or at least you are trying to. So I will stop trying to make light of the subject and let you carry on. I hope you get an answer as I have never heard tygertyger being a slur before either.

Two, to be exact (only on Steemit, not Busy, so I had to change platforms to notice/check this fact). And they're comments that are pretty much personally attacking the poster. That's what flags are for, right? Disagreeing with rewards, particularly on ill-intentioned entries.

They read like comments saying the poster has in the past made other comments that do not fit this posts narrative. There is also another user stating the same fact and their comments are not being downvoted.
When two people in the same comment section are saying the same thing and only one is down-voted what does that imply?

I just went back and read all the comments. No comment other than Trumpman's talks about the poster's history. The only other one that criticises the narrative does it by analysing one phrase (about positions of power). I think you read too much into them or exaggerated their content.

I may have read this one wrong. That 1st line could be read either way.

Yep, but the second line clarifies. :PP

I flagged the comments of @trumpman with direct personal insults. Not even all of them.
When I read a post that interests me, I don't want to read through personal attacks in the comments that got nothing to do with the topic of the post.
There are no arguments in trumpman's comments, just "you love Stalin" hurrdurr, while ignoring the historical (Spain, Ukraine, the international), political (communism is socialism in the same way national socialism was) and personal (the attacked user wrote about the perversions of communism in the USSR in another post) facts. Nothing worth those self upvotes.

The self upvotes were thrown because the user loves to flag me whenever we have a debate and make my comments invisible. He also loves to do the same on other people with different political views, especially the small minnows. Then he proceeds to make comments "Ha, how do you like your capitalism now dumbass"? Please note, I have NEVER flagged her. Consider my self upvotes to be preemptive self defense.
As for insults, were did you see them? I said she loves Stalin. Maybe I am wrong, but judging from her comment history (see the indicative screenshots I placed above) I think I am not. But even if I am wrong, loving Stalin isn't an insult per se. It's just a political view. Also I called her trans which again I don't consider an insult and she herself has said she is one. Or do YOU consider the word "trans" to be an insult?
Honestly, the only thing that imo can be considered an insult is the "suck stalins dick" line, which I posted in another comment on this thread. But still, this is again more a comment on her political views rather than an insult if you ask me. True, I could have worded it differently and be less of a dick but still, not much of an insult XD
Have a fun day.

If you need proof for any of my claims (e.g. the flagging part) let me know. It's all on the blockchain :)

You may not consider "dumbass" or "you're a joke" as insults, I do though.
Your first comment here starts with the statement that you can't have a meaningful discussion with the user. Why even write that, and not ignore it? It's definitely not providing any value to this post. Don't you have a discussion going on about it elsewhere?
Regarding the user's opinion, I see USSR flags, yes, but no praise, quite the contrary. But as you don't even seem to understand the differences between Marxism and Stalinism it seems to me you've simply been triggered by the flag.

I totally forgot about these ones. Yep these can definitely be considered insults by some. I think they are facts but that's subjective. Fair enough
Why? Maybe because the post says "My question is, what would your arguments in it's defence be in light of this video?"
So I explain that from my pov I think discussing with her is pointless for the reason I explained.
She has posted a million times videos in various commens that claim why and how the USSR of Stalin is awesome. And shared them in a "look this cool video" way not a "this is a totally bs video " kind of way. This is proof enough for me that she loves Stalin and USSR. Maybe she changed her views since, maybe she is politically confused or maybe I am totally wrong.

So where's your argument for transphobia after watching the video?
Well, at least you consider it.

I confess, I have no political views other than the view anyone who involves themselves in politics needs to be examined. Politics are more like a gossip train that cause discord among the people and have no value in life. Those in office don't even follow their own parties, they just pick one to be elected.
I don't mind opinions and there are much worse personal attacks around the platform, hell even the OP made a comment in this post as an attack on @tygertyger but it was not flagged. She/he even refuses to answer the question of how the other users name is a slur or anti-Tranny. I just don't see an equal amount of injury to insult happening. I could be wrong as we are entitled to our opinion and thoughts.
This just seems like it is one-sided at best.

Yeah. I'm not the platform police. I only (up-/down-)vote posts I read and may engage with. When I see a self upvoted comment at the top of a post insulting the poster with no further contribution to the OP, I react. I didn't really hurt him, let most of his nonesense untouched, and only greyed out the insults.
I have no idea what a tygertyger is. I don't see insults there, just claims. And I don't flag claims, or I'd have to flag most of this thread.
You saying he/she seriously makes me not wonder why she doesn't reply to you. Wouldn't wonder if you were muted.... Wtf.

I did not know things were self-voted to the top. Fair enough if you are not trying to police to one side then no harm no foul. Carry on.

I have only seen this post. No idea if they consider themselves a male or female. I was trying to be polite and you took it as an insult. See how the world works? They have been referred to him and her in the comments. And here we see how fucked up PC is in the world.

Okay, sorry for misunderstanding you. I figured we're talking about a trans-woman without looking deeper into it. Could've easily been me stepping into that trap :D
