In case you can’t read it, she wrote, “all except the all-white dude are sheep”, and got an automatic three day ban. Despite the picture actually having sheep in it.
It was shaping up to be a interesting article about the failure of Facebook bots to detect the nuanced meaning of a post but was then subsequently ruined by a rant about some people not deserving protections against hate speech.
The author specifically states their belief that "white cishet men" cannot be the subject of racism and sexism then goes on to assert "the dominant class with the power is frankly 100% deserving of a little “punching up”. They then complain that Facebook bots have apparently banned them for offering these or similar views on the platform.
Of course, the irony here is that the poster wants to simultaneously be protected from harassment yet have the freedom to harass those who in their mind "deserve it".

Every harasser believes their victims deserve it.
