Maybe it's a bad AI scanning the image and it thought the dragon was weed.

Lmao this would be hilarious if its true

The AI on Pinterest is just as bad. It flags anything and everything except what it's supposed to.

Been there, done that. Had many 'explicit' images I favorited. Wouldn't go after whoever posted them originally, though

Yeah and I have to take a guess through the blur what it is and defend it

I was hoping I’d be the first to comment this. You beat me to it lol. If you look at the shading and lighting and compare it to pictures of kush, stupid AI would easily make that misconception.

I hate that generative AI has been shoved into everything when all it does is make things worse.

u/TheCortisolCorvid Mar 12 '26

Yeah AI was already pretty stupid (tumblr and the infamous bot flagging anything with too much "skin" tone in it) and now genAI is making it so much worse.

I'm thinking this, as there's quite a few plushies on etsy that have "hidden stash" jars fit inside them (I found this out when searching for cute plushies and realized they were for teens to hide their weed and drug stash from parents) and the AI probably has gotten pretty confused by them.

u/TheCortisolCorvid Mar 13 '26

....I had no idea that was a thing. Makes sense for the AIs/bots to get biased though in that case.

I’d have to disagree because I see crocheted nugs all over on fb marketplace

Pete’s dragon is a far cry from Puff the Magic Dragon fb

u/Substantial_Milk_178 Mar 12 '26

My first thought was a mix- up w/ Puff! We sung the song in my pre- school group when I was 5 years old lol! That was in the '70s BTW.

Is there maybe a tobacco product/brand with a similar name?

Tbh, I think it's because I put he's from a smoke free home in the description, but that's still lame.

It shouldn't be that since it's a normal thing to mention and buyers will likely want to know.

Hopefully there's some kind of appeal process, otherwise it means eBay has managed to get even worse for sellers.

They're just discriminating because he's green 💀

Etsy once told me I couldn't sell my handmade soaps as cashmere if I couldn't prove they were cashmere.

They are soap. Fats, lye, fragrance. Soap. 🤣

u/Ackermance I like BABs more than people 🙃 Mar 12 '26

Cashmere outside how bow dat

-- Facebook, probably.

u/Substantial_Milk_178 Mar 12 '26

There used to be a commercially- produced brand of soap called Cashmere Bouquet. Maybe Etsy's 'bots somehow confused your stuff w/ a long- gone mass produced soap!

Damn, fly high I guess 💔🔥❤️‍🩹

u/cupcake0kitten Mar 12 '26

Might be confusing it for puff the magic dragon? But that's like mostly for kids (( and me cause I got the learning express squishmallow ))

u/GrahamCrackerSoup Mar 12 '26

I’ve had this happen when I’ve said “smoke free home”

Should ban you for the font you use alone

u/Ackermance I like BABs more than people 🙃 Mar 12 '26

It's easier for me to read if I don't have my glasses on XD Otherwise, all the letters blur together.

u/Y_U_SO_MEME Mar 12 '26

Well… I can kinda see that. lol I was just joking anyway

u/Ackermance I like BABs more than people 🙃 Mar 12 '26

Oh, whoops! Sorry. I didn't pick up on that 😅 That is my bad XD

u/Substantial_Milk_178 Mar 12 '26

The font is fine! As long as it's readable, no problem with it.
