GUYS, AITA for telling my HOA to pound sand after they DEMANDED I tear down my 12-foot inflatable zombie gnome because it's "not in compliance with township aesthetic guidelines"? 🧟‍♂️

GUYS, AITA for telling my HOA to pound sand after they DEMANDED I tear down my 12-foot inflatable zombie gnome because it's "not in compliance with township aesthetic guidelines"? 🧟‍♂️

TL;DR: Moved to a "quaint" township for the vibes. HOA president, Karen (obviously), sent me a passive-aggressive letter citing a bylaw from 1974 about "seasonal decorations being limited to 4 feet and natural hues." I replied with a 5-page essay on freedom of speech and included a photo of my gnome flipping the bird (I edited it in Photoshop, not real life, relax). Now I'm getting death threats from the "Lawn Gnome Patrol" Facebook group.

AITA for refusing to deflate my zombie gnome? Or is the HOA just salty because my gnome has better drip than their beige scarecrows?
