MRW my meme complaining about a sexist trope is removed for being sexist

Perhaps this is a protest post, lol. If anyone knows how to appeal a removed post let me know.

Brb, just gotta check your comment history to see if we're on the same side or whether I should be sexist against you for being a sexist.
- Batman:
  If you sexist a sexist then the number of sexists remains the same.
  
  But if I sexist two sexists? That's progress baby
  
  Batman splitting in two every time he sexists another sexist to keep the balance.
- What's the result? I need someone to tell me what my opinion is
  
  OP is a friendly, hold your fire.
What’s wrong with being sexy?
- “-ist! Sex-ist!”
Remember kids, the only was to fight misogyny is to punish people who discuss or criticisize it
"no, you!"
ಠ_ಠ
lol why was that removed??
- The Modlog says
  lemmy.ml rules 1 and 2 (i think you intend to be criticising this trope, but you're also using it as a punchline)
  Rules 1 and 2 are
  Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  I made a Rick and Morty butter robot meme. Rick was representing "Authors and Writers" while the robot represented "Strong Female Characters". Rick told the robot to "get in the refrigerator" in reference to the Women in Refrigerators trope.
  You could maybe argue that the meme is an example of the trope, but you'd have to be bad at memes or arguing.
  
  Oof. People can't even post memes about things that frustrate them now? A lot of trans memes are about shit like this, if we removed all those there'd barely be any left.

  In short, a mod.
  
  I mean it hits some of the notes of the people that make fun of "strong female characaters" so I can see how a tired mod might have mistaken it for one.
  Like a strong woman is artificially created and an alpha male shows her her place or whatever
have you tried not being sexist?
- I've succeeded not being sexist 👍
