TIL my "squirrel riding a lawnmower" AI mashup got flagged as offensive by a bot

I made this dumb mashup last week where I mixed a squirrel with a lawnmower, just a funny image, nothing wild. But some auto-mod bot on another site flagged it for "violent content" and banned me for 3 days. Like, seriously, a cartoon squirrel on a mower is violent? I get that AI art can get weird, but this is why we need human mods not just code. Has anyone else had their mashups flagged by bots for totally random reasons?

Holding a grudge over a three day ban from some random bot feels like a lot of energy for a cartoon squirrel. I'd probably just move on and find a platform that actually has humans looking at this stuff.

Wait, didn't your friend have that happen with a different game where the mods were just as bad? Mine got a week long ban for saying "git gud" and the bot wouldn't even tell him which message triggered it.
