Banned from r/pics for nonsense

Ok tell me what you think. I was just recently banned from the thread r/pics for a silly comment that was just a joke. There was a post about Tucker Carlson at someone’s wedding. Regardless of what people think about him is not relevant to this. Well maybe a little. People somehow got on the topic of Michelle Obama and how great she is. There were comments like she is awesome, she is so loved, we love here etc. Ok now I between all this people are talking crazy trash about Tucker “ I don’t really care about it or him anyway” but someone said something like (George Bush has a massive crush on Michelle Obama and who wouldn’t) so I replied as a joke trying to be funny. I said “ I don’t like guys so me”. Well that gave me a permanent ban on the r/pics thread. I tried to reach out to the moderator for weeks to ask why i was banned. No response at all. I don’t think joking around warranted a permanent banning. It was a freaking joke. I don’t really think she is a dude. I saw on the internet someplace for a while that people thought she looked like Barack’s buddy or something. Obviously she is not a dude. Is there someplace on Reddit I can complain about this. I don’t think it was a fair banning. I must have really aggravated the moderators. Machelle must have been there hero or they are in love with her to a point of being completely unhinged about a silly comment. The comments about sucker Tucker were so much worse. Straight up nasty and I get banned. Its stupid. —- UPDATE—— . I got a response finally. They said my comment was racist. How is that racism is beyond me. If anything it’s about gender not race. And it was a stupid joke. Calling someone racist is a big deal in my book. I know people now a day’s toss that around like air but it’s still a big deal to claim that.
