I wouldn’t tolerate it in any sense, “ironic” or not.
Too many people are too stupid to determine irony from a serious statement, and just assume the “irony” is a legitimate support of their shitty opinions.
No tolerance at all is required, because we don’t want to confuse anyone into thinking that maybe that crap is remotely acceptable here.
I’m expecting people here to be smart, respectful and use their brain.
First, hate and bigotry are not to be tolerated. Second, context also matters in language in addition to words. Third, it’s also important to acknowledge that we are people with ingrained biases too, in order to tackle more subtle and casual forms of it. If people can demonstrate an understanding and willingness to give up their precognitions and learn from mistakes, they don’t have to be kicked out on the spot. Trolls with a pattern of abusing or playing borderline with the rules have clear context outside of the thread that they aren’t genuinely engaging and aren’t welcome until they drop that behaviour. Lastly, the community where the discussion happens (a shitpost community, a community made for a specific group, a news community etc.) should also be considered. Every example from the document is demeaning, bigoted, and inappropriate within that scenario.
With all due respect, I think most users can recognize when people mean well or not, while still being impassioned over a discussion. If one is genuinely confused, we can afford the opportunity for them to learn.
Eh, I’d say you’ve almost got it but not quite.
