Even if you believe it is Amazon's place to punish people for hateful comments, keep in mind that what's hateful is subject to rapid change. It wasn't that long ago that making the OK sign with your fingers was suddenly racist and there was no out for "I didn't know that was racist". Even after the origin of the OK sign being racist was discovered to be trolls on 4chan trying to bait society into looking stupid, it was still considered real racism because "real racists are really using the ok sign to show real racism". Then a few weeks later, the whole thing was completely forgotten. If you weren't actively keeping up with what's the latest in what's considered racist, you were at risk of being cancelled and having your life turned upside down for making a sign you'd made thousands of times before without any incident. What degree of obligation does one have to keep up with the latest fashions in racism?
