I have no idea what your reviews were, but if you're talking about political ideology on a genderbent idk Cloud Strife or whatever, or futa art, it's just not related to the art. Reviews that have nothing to do with the content will probably be deleted for that reason. Doubly so if the mods think you're insulting the author.

Trans authors or artists who draw trans characters don't want to see negative comments about trans stuff and are definitely going to report you as abusive. The moderators decide what to do with these reports, and depending on what you wrote and to whom, determine you were asking for it.

I'd just advise you not to use the review box as a place for unsolicited advice or comments not related to the actual quality of the work. Even had you just written "cool," it's asking to be deleted, and if you wrote "ew trans people/surgery," it's also asking to be deleted and banned.

Basically, if you don't like trans art, just ignore it. It's like if someone doesn't like Christian art, the proper response is not to go pooping on it. You don't change someone's mind by lecturing them.

Also, moderators are people too with feelings.

Whoever wrote your ban probably feels just as strongly about trans stuff as you do, except they see nothing but abusive comments in their inbox all day. Probably why they wrote that ban reason.

There's a compassion fatigue that comes with moderating.

I've had to deal with people stealing songs over and over. One uploaded the ISIS theme song and a bunch of stuff about jihad. Others impersonated artists or claimed they had permissions to upload stolen stuff. Some just smashed a bunch of sounds together or upload silence.

Now I deal with people uploading AI music. You can imagine how pissed I get after the 30th user today and sometimes write a snarky reply in the ban message. It happens.
