Got quite confused by this ban

Edit: context https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/98196510-49ce-40ee-8db5-a8914f7ad0b1.webp

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

    Yeah, I understand that its easy to interpret my comment in that way now. I’ll try to be more clear in the future and try to use a language that is less “loaded” (haven’t got a better word for it). I didn’t know that the word used in that manner was so improper.

    As my comment is interpreted I am in the wrong here :)

      Yeah, it can be hard to figure out just what to say when it comes to topics like this. It’s great that you’re trying to be sensitive and do better, though! I think when talking about women’s bodies especially its best to stay away from saying things like “masculine” or “skinny” or “fat”, even if youre not attaching negative meaning to it.
