Even though it may appear ruthless, and mostly is, the subreddit has its limits. Any racist and truly hateful insults are removed by the moderators.
Commonly posted insults and non-rare insults are also a big no-no. The purpose is to have fun, not to be blatantly offensive.

Some roasts land better than others, but the internet clearly had fun with this one.
