Could someone explain this censorship? [1]

I found I could not publish my recent comment due to this:

“Hi there. Just a note that we no longer wish to see/read the term "MAGAt(s)" on our site. The dehumanizing pun (MAGAt = maggot) is prohibited per our Rules of the Road, DO NOT #1. Thanks for your cooperation.

“I acknowledge the receipt of this message:

I don’t recall ever using “the M-word” on DK. I’ve seen much more personal attacks on DK than “the M-word” that have gone unremarked. Unlike “the N-word”, a person can choose whether to be a MAGA Republican (as they’re often referred to) — one is not born into that cult. Will DK start censoring commentary that calls people Nazi’s (who are Nazis, that is)?
