someone on another board said that all fans of a certain entertainment company are racist. and I have people telling me I would get punished if I marked the post. even though it seems incredibly trollish to me. and is a very stupid accusation they made.

if the accuser is claiming such just to get a rise out of people he's trolling
if the accuser is claiming such because he earnestly believes that, he might be flaming. IANAM, but flaming tends to be more directed and personal as opposed to "this demographic is xyz". It's stupid, but not necessarily flaming.

Maybe you just mark it and see if the mods think it's breaking any rules instead of making a topic complaining about it.

Yeah, you aren't going to be punished for one bad mark. You'd have to regularly mark things poorly, and even then you'd only lose the privilege at worst.

I've never heard of being punished for marking a post and I've had plenty of posts I've marked not end up getting modded, so I'd say you're good to go.

I mean, I would consider the entire fanbase of the Nazis to be racist, but that's obviously not what you're referring to.
