Shoutout to that meme about the 2019 Indian flag colors that got pulled in 30 minutes

I stumbled on a trick that actually worked for sharing a banned meme without getting flagged. The problem was that a political meme I posted last year kept getting removed for ‘misinformation’ even though it was just a joke. I tried reposting it with the same wording but flipped the image colors to cyan and magenta, and it stayed up for 2 weeks before anyone noticed. Has anyone else found a weird loophole like this for keeping a controversial meme alive?

Wait, seriously? That's hilarious and honestly brilliant at the same time! I swear, the mods on some of these sites are just running basic color detection bots. They probably just saw the original red and orange and green and auto-flagged it without even looking at the actual joke. Dude, you basically found a cheat code for internet censorship. It's like when you change the cover of a R-rated movie to look like a cartoon and your mom doesn't notice what you're watching. Total subversion of the system, I love it. I bet if you flipped the flag colors to hot pink and lime green, no one would bat an eye either. Just make sure you don't post it in a sub that actually has human mods, because they're the ones who actually read the content.

Buddy of mine did that with a controversial flag meme and got three weeks out of it before the ban hammer dropped.
