My old meme got zapped for 'hate speech' because it had a frog in it

Back in 2017, I'd just post a Pepe the Frog image as a general reaction to anything. Now, I have to check a 3-page platform guideline before using any cartoon animal. The whole thing feels like walking on eggshells. Anyone else had a totally harmless image get flagged just because of its history?

Was it actually flagged for the frog itself though? Sometimes the context or caption gets a post in trouble, not just the image. I miss when you could just post a funny picture without overthinking it.

Check the notification email if you got one, it usually spells out the exact reason. In my experience, captions with certain words trigger the filter way more than the image itself. You can try re-uploading it with a totally plain description to test the theory.
