Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

lol what? Oh look he wears an helmet let me run over him; he'll be fine.
I've heard lack of helmet makes car drivers give more space as they're more aware of how squishy the rider is. 🤷🏻♀️

"This analysis confirms that drivers did, overall, get closer when the rider wore a helmet."
No it's more like, they look vulnerable as they aren't wearing a helmet I'll give them some extra room. I was amazed by the extra space I got when cycling with a child seat on the back of my bike.
