You got violated for upvoting luigi? I said all sorts of shit with no action on that, although I did get a 2nd violation and abandoned that account and when I came back with a new account all luigi content was gone except for pics which my posts don't seem to go through on somehow.

I got one for saying musk should be riding in his own spaceshit, for advocating violence, apparently it's just presumed it will blow up. What else, for accurately stating a cultural difference with another country that lacks sewage and running water for half the population and has a problem with feces polluting the ground and water, India.

We can't even talk about cultural differences, and problems in society, without getting violated for disparaging others apparently. God forbid we accurately recount a historical situation where some nationalist is embarrassed for the outcome.
