OK, I’ve been reporting violations of rule 4 for a while. I’ve noticed, though, that while most of the comments I report are removed (which means I’m gladly on the right track), I’ve noticed a trend. If a comment I’ve reported consists only of a gif or an image, it never gets removed. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there an explanation?

There’s a difference between a comment replying to an image macro, or replying to a meme with another meme, and someone bitching about the theme of a piece of fan art that they could have either ignored or filtered.

I feel like I’m missing something, unless you’re using super sekrit de-anonymizing mod powers to address the BP’s actual situation and not their generalized explanation of it. OP seems to be talking about comments that are just inline GIFs/images (presumably not on the site, or else not included with the filter-friendly syntax).
 
I may have noticed one example of a reluctance to mod GIF-only comments, but I’m not sure that’s actually the reason for a lack of action on the report.

We look at these kinds of things on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes staff agreed with you. Sometimes after looking at the image the comment was on, staff disagreed. If you come to -help you can discuss moderation actions with the people who worked on the specific report that you disagree with.
 
But there’s no general rule against posting images as replies. The site has specific functionality designed to make that possible, so it’s actually something we encourage.
 
Whether that image comment is in topic or off topic, or is contributing to the discussion of the image or whining about the theme is something that has to be determined case by case, and if you think a report wasn’t responded to appropriately, that’s what -help is for.
