Whoever DID delete the comment, kudos to you.
Regarding your initial comment, and keeping in mind I never actually saw the offending remark (moderators also can't view deleted comments), the correct thing to do when you see an offensive image, is to just move on. I've long believed that a more comprehensive filtration system needs to be implemented, and given the male/furry/quality toggles that already exist, a framework to link the filtration to arbitrarily defined tags should be trivial. It just requires someone with the proper authority to actually DO it.
I will say, though, that your secondary comment was utterly inexcusable. Adding "no offense" to an offensive comment does not, in fact, render it inoffensive. It actually does the opposite, and makes it more directly inflammatory. It shows that you know it is an offensive statement, and that you don't care. And regardless of how seriously you intended it, it's not cool to insinuate that people are policing your presence with surgically precise and malicious intent. I guarantee you that nobody here has that kind of time, and anybody who would bother using their power that way wouldn't keep it for very long.
tl;dr Don't be That Guy.
