#this is why I hate bots

[nixthelapin]

So I got an email from Pinterest notifying me that one of the pins I’d saved got deleted for violating Community Guidelines, or whatever, which I was going to ignore bc I usually don’t think it’s worth my time, but then I read what the violations were:

And I’m like… that’s weird. I don’t save any pins or even consume content that has anything sexual in it- I’m just not interested in that stuff, and it sometimes makes me uncomfortable, so I just try to avoid it (sometimes it will be hinted or reference, but it’s never anything explicit, and definitely never graphic).

So I’m wondering- what thing did they either accidentally flag or did I accidentally save that had anything sexual or fetish related?

The picture in question?

What. Even.

I don’t even know what the most baffling part of this is. Like, for one, these are literally screenshots from a kids show- the most “indecent” thing in here is Chat Noir being on top of Ladybug (which isn’t, and just mildly suggestive at best), but you can’t even see that in this image, just Chat’s huge smile [bottom left].

Is it the tongue pictures?? Do the Pinterest overlord bots think anything with tongue showing outside the mouth is implying a hot make out or oral? Are tongues indecent now?

Is it Chat Noir’s leather outfit? The cat ears and bell? The list did include fetishes, and we all know furies and BDSM exist, and plenty of people make jokes or legit posts putting Chat into both or either category(ies).

Is it the ones with their butts in the air?? [top two images] Do they think this is a sex position? Ready for the dirty? This stupid pose is a decently common gag in cartoons to make the character look ridiculous. I’ve only seen it sexualized in fan works and in anime/manga (which has its own reputation..)

I’m genuinely at a loss here. If any of the pics in the collage were interpreted as sexual, I’d lean towards the top row set, I pointed out the tongue one more as an exaggeration, and kind of on the cat costume, but like.. everything I can think of just seems like a huge stretch. I’m genuinely baffled. Especially since, like I already said- they are taken directly from a show made for literal children. How can anything from that get flagged as explicitly sexual??

It’s not worth it to appeal for, I really don’t care about losing a Pin I barely remember saving in the first place. I’m just so confused on how their flagging system caught this as “adult content.” I’m genuinely wondering on a technical level what it saw (beyond “bots are just bad at recognition), because it obviously saw something wrong, so what was it?? What was considered sexual in these pictures??

Big angry rant below

With lots of swearing (and censored nsfw) so be warned

Holy, fucking, shit. I'm just gonna say something cause I don't see any posts about it but... what the fuck is this?!

Honestly whoever makes bots like this is a sick fucker I KEEP SEEING THIS SHIT ON MY DASH BECAUSE OF THE TAGS I FOLLOW grgrrgghrbugvy9gubhouiv 9vgubhpinj >:[ I'm not sure if anything can be done about this but dear stars this sucks ass.

I was scrolling through the Cult of The Lamb tag cause it's got the funniest and silliest shitposts and I see these WRETCHED posts

I censored both of these, one because I don't know the term but it's probably something inappropriate as hell and the other because what the actual fuck and I witnessing? I just wanna say this now, I am a minor. Under 16 to be more specific. Why do these bots exist? What is the fucking purpose of these shitty excuses of an ai? I SAW OVER 6 OF THESE THINGS TODAY! I thought this would be the fun, cool social media (It still is) where I wouldn't see this BS :'[ It's unavoidable though, I know that.

But seriously, maybe add a captcha for signing up? I am seriously just considering nonexistence for a week of smth. I hate that it uses tags, random ass tags of cool games, comics, books, people, fandoms, etc. Anywho, I just wanted to rant and get the word vomit out of my head. I wasn't sure if anyone else saw these stupid posts so I just wrote this, thanks for reading and tell other people I guess. I don't know at this point.

They both act in the sense of "justice" but a big part of their motive is that they're really both selfish thrill-seeking weirdos. The harder the puzzle the more riled up they are. Murder is their mistress.
