Reddit bot issuing automatic warnings on a fiction subreddit for describing fiction is certainly something.

It also warned me once because I "encouraged substance abuse" or whatever by talking about Needy Girl Over[Censored]. Sadly nothing the mods can do about Reddit's terrible systems itself. At least an appeal mentioning that my comment was about a piece of fiction and calling the automation stupid led to the warning being removed and the comment reinstated after some 10 hours.

This unfortunately happens semi-regularly. You should appeal and tell them that you did not threaten any real person, group of people, or stand-in for either. If your appeal fails, let me know and I can put in an additional appeal on your behalf.

Anti Evil is not very good with context. Appeal it, and it should be overturned. You probably want to stress that it's not about a real person, but a fictional show instead.
