If removing the ones deleted by Ganbold is considered such a big loss to
the consumers of the fortune cookies, then sure, we'll have to backout
the removal. I'd prefer if we didn't, but oh well :/

My point exactly. We have always erred on the side of NOT removing
something since what people find offensive (or humorous) varies hugely
across cultures, languages, political persuasions, etc.
If you want to make an argument that those fortunes should be moved to
the -o file, that might be worth talking about. But flat out removing
them is not keeping in the spirit of how things have traditionally
been done.
