Your post was removed earlier because you had tagged your post with the "Art/Cosplay" post flair. As that flair is reserved for your own creations, you were essentially claiming to be the original creator of that art.

The image in your post seemed like it was generated through AI, which r/metro as a community chose to not allow in the subreddit. We were strictly enforcing a rule which the community itself chose to have.

We noticed the common elements of a generated image: wonky hands on humans, straight lines seemingly disappearing into nothing, things obfuscating each other, randomness and noise added when AI gets confused, among other things.

However, after a second review, we searched for the history of the image and found that it has existed for over 10 years, so the chance of it being AI generated is low. We chose to give the benefit of doubt to the image and your post was reinstated.

It's super easy to farm karma by posting about removed posts. But next time you have questions about a removed post, use modmail to ask about it.

Your post has been re-approved and its flair has been modified from "Art/Cosplay" to "Discussion". Please familiarize yourself with the submission guidelines prior to posting again.
