I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the picture of the beetle was the reason behind the account's suspension. One social media site I use has a "sensitive image filter" and half the time the sensitive image is a stag beetle.

They ban a games account for a profile pic of a 'naked' beetle, yet they won't ban actual honest to God nazis.
What the hell twitter?

Japanese creators should just migrate to Minds. Twitter will let far left and right extremism run rampant, but they freak out when they see a naked bug. It's either that they are extreme puritans or they are prejudiced to Japanese creators.

It must be the latter because I've seen people post full, flat-out porn on there and nothing happened to them.

If this is the case why are the far right people the ones whining about being censored and being banned from twitter?

I wonder if there's some kind of algorithm that mistakes stag beetles for gentiles?

For... for gentiles!?
Of course I know what you meant, and I think you guys are right.
I'm not sure why other people in this thread are taking this at face value and going "I can't believe people these days are offended by beetles!"

All bugs, animals, reptiles, fish, etc. are always naked. So yes posting pics of Dogs and Cats is also nudity unless you want them to wear clothing they have no interest in wearing. Sure you can avoid posting their bottom side but still nudity. But that’s just life and there is nothing wrong with it.

AHHH. I'm sorry, I was writing that post from my phone and didn't immediately see that it put GENTILES instead of GENITALS. I definitely meant sexual organs -_-

Considering they made a dating simulator about pigeons, one that focuses on stag and scarab beetles would be a reasonable sequel option. (With over 30,000 species between them, the character choices would be boundless.)
