What's the specified reason?:

perma-gag after getting auto-gagged​

Why should you be unbanned?:

Good evening, so months after getting unrightfully gagged / perma gagged for saying "Strongge", which by no means promoted Racism, (shortened from FeelsStrongMan, refers to a BTTV pepe emote) I came back to TF2 and started playing more and more on Idle #15. As I was talking with someone regarding the profanity filter and how it works, I used the word as an example, thinking it's been already fixed as about four months has passed. Little did I know the profanity filter had remained the same. I have a few questions regarding that, first of all, why a bunch of words not necessarly connected with Racism gaggable? (example being Negro, which means Black in Spanish, or Strongge, a BTTV pepe emote) Second of all, is there a chance for me to get unbanned? I was pretty certain that with the changes to RTD, there's also been some fixes to the filter, but apparently not. Please take care of this, as this word is by no means harmful and it quite literally refers to nostalgia. I am utterly sorry for my unawareness.​

Valid Proofs:

Please read the info above.​
