How very pedantic of you!
Pointing out a basic fact is not pedantry. I am definitely pedantic, but this isn't an example of it.
The problem is, you aren’t correct.
You might want to look up the definition of pedantic. Pointing out and drawing attention to the fact that Buddha isn't a god figure for some Buddhists, while technically correct, has nothing to do with the point this post is trying to make. Furthermore, even though Buddha might not be seen as a literal god, his teachings are still the basis for the religion. So his likeness is still an appropriate addition to the image posted.
Your basic fact is useless information and it's by definition pedantic. Seriously, just look up the definition. I don't know if I've ever used it more appropriately.
