Got quite confused by this ban

And the comment I responded to:

I don’t know how to see who banned me, but I guess the mod thought that my response to the"normal woman" having a body type that is far more idealized than normal was racist since I said the body type probably was a minority among body types? English as second language so I might be in the wrong

    PTB.

    Sometimes, people express themselves poorly. And sometimes they hit some association they weren’t aware of. That’s clearly your case here; you were calling ChatGPT “she” instead of “it”, this screams “L2+” from a distance, and a quick glance at your profile shows you’re from Sweden.

    So why the bloody hell is the mod in question assuming racism, due to some association native English speakers in USA do???

    In that situation, they should’ve clarified that the association is seen as racist by some people. And then watch closely how you answered it; if you said something “ops, I wasn’t aware of that, my bad”, you’re probably not a racist.

    (The association between minority groups in USA and “their women is masculine” was new for me too - I’m not from USA either. Thanks ratboy@hexbear for explaining it.)
