Removal of a review 2.0

Hello! Recently I wrote a review for the TV show Dying for Sex. It was published, and I saw it on my page and on the page of the show. It was an honest negative review with a lot of details. But a few days ago, the review disappeared from both pages. So, it looks like it was deleted. Why did you delete it without any notification? Why didn't I have a chance to edit it if something was wrong? Where is the freedom of opinion?

Hi Farog- Thank you for your posting the information! Further investigating, I can confirm that your review does not meet IMDb's User review guidelines which is why your review was reported for removal. Your review contained commentary based on intolerance towards a performer/characters, which is prohibited when submitting user reviews to IMDb. For additional clarity, your original review was mistakenly approved due to a processing error already reported. Will also note that notifying contributors of a reported and removed submission is currently not a feature we support, we encourage you to make an Idea post here in the IMDb for other community members to follow. You are welcome to edit and re-submit your review in accordance with the guidelines. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/user-review-guidelines/GABTWSNLDNFLPRRH?ref_=helpsrall# Thanks!

My review was published, so it met IMDb's User Review Guidelines. Why did that change after someone complained? Where is the freedom of opinion? Yes, my review was about intolerance towards men. Is defending men prohibited on IMDb? My review is 1,021 words long, so, what part should I edit?
