osu staff literally do whatever they want and whenever they need to justify it whip out the "osu is family friendly" defense. it's so common i even have my own story about it!
when i brought a song about incest and drug abuse in ranked to osu staff's attention, after they deleted a dora the explorer rap mashup remix map i made because it had the word vagina?
i was given a punishment over my silly mashup remix longer than the rules allow for and a no response from staff until it had already completely elapsed, with no serious apology.
as for the song about incest and drug abuse?
well, here's the ranked beatmap link, complete with a link to the lyrics video in the beatmap description in case you missed that the song is screaming about a father raping his children! https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/607414#osu/1282960 the link to the lyrics video in the description has remained there for over three years! at least this year they finally slapped an explicit label on it, am i right?
the game is only family friendly enough to leave scary backgrounds out of a halloween contest and probably censor this comment for having the word rape - not family friendly enough to make sure minors don't stumble across really sick content!
the gmt will delete this comment even though they know it's not really against the rules because they know they get away with power abuse
they didn't, you're lucky
