Why are you assuming this, exactly? Mittsies is being holier-then-thou and it’s annoying. I don’t like censorship particularly, but he’s just acting like his brain is massive. And that’s annoying.

No they just don’t think like you. So their reasoning is “bad”. I don’t see how you fail to look in the mirror here. You accuse them of being “pro-censorship” when they’re leaving because they don’t like fucking nazi shit.
To me it just sounds like, “Whoever doesn’t think exactly like me is wrong in every way, shape, and form. The only right thought is my thought.”
 
It’s fine to not like Nazi imagery, but did you know that there is actually a system set up right in this very website that can ensure that they never see any of it? Wild, right?

His brain is galaxy wide compared to people plugging their ears and refusing to believe that it’s not about Nazis, it’s about creative freedom.

How? Where is he acting holier than thou? He was explaining his point of view and opinion during the whole debacle, which he stayed true to form, where in his post is he acting arrogantly?
 
Is there ANY point of view aside from the DNPers that you will take into consideration ? You seem to dismiss EVERYTHING has “I’m arrogant”.

Holy shit, did the mods actually remove my comment because I said police shouldn’t get away with murder? WTF?
 
Yeah, “against censorship” and “free speech” my ass. Within hours of going back on “nazis are bad”, the site is now saying “murder is bad” is too controversial (but nazis aren’t).
 
Nobody is overreacting. The alt-right has taken over the site.

He’s explaining his stance on the topic in a calm and concise matter, and you take it as insulting your intelligence just because he disagreed with you, maybe you should calm down a bit.

The point you missed here… Is that I’m not on anyone’s side. Where have I stated myself to be aligned with these artist’s views? I’m simply stating to let them go as they please.
 
You’re proving my point by projecting your beliefs onto me, painting me up as something I’m not based on what little I’ve said.

Submitted a DNP request, including a request to remove all of my artwork (except a post linking to an archive).
paradox of intolerance, baby. goodbye.
 
Please don’t man, your art is amazing. It be so sad to see you go :(

@Loopers  
People are trying to explain their point of view and you just denigrate all of them and pretend they are arrogant.
 
You have caused far more disruption to the debate than anybody recently.

But you’re doing the exact same thing, though…

Also this will get totally buried but anyone on the DNP list here taking a stand, if you’d like to, please DM me with other places (Twitter especially) I can support you, as staying in this drama long enough to write down everyone’s links is going to give me a massive fucking headache x.x

Think about it like this:  
If you censor something, you’ve left people with 1 option: Don’t look at it.  
If you don’t censor it, you’ve given 2 options: Look at it, or don’t look at it.
 
The difference between having a single option and having multiple options means that we have the freedom to choose, which allows us to think for ourselves. We can examine both options, weigh the good and bad, and ultimately decide for ourselves what is best. When we have only a single option, that means someone has decided for us.
 
Even if you wholeheartedly agree with every decision that person makes for you, you are ultimately losing the ability to think for yourself. When you do not think for yourself, you never question anything around you. You never develop a sense of right or wrong, you never gain a sense of judgement, and you end up with no ability to discern.

It’s alright, we all have our moments. But on the real, I see flaws and I see reason within BOTH sides. I’m poking at people here because I don’t want anyone falling into the trap of “ME RIGHT YOU WRONG”. I’m probably not the best at it, but I hope someone is getting that from me.
 
Reasonable discussion is WAY better then going full-on, “Ay fuq u mane why u pro-censoreships”

Why let it bother you? Dude hasn’t made art in a while other than some shit over at e621, tbf its not exactly SHIT but its art. Just move on, artist aint posting here anymore not a big deal. Dude wants to play woke so let him play woke, he aint coming back and that is fine. He made a whim decision to stand with the woke, fights against anti-censorship, and deciding he wants to plug his ears and not filter out content like the rest of us do with borderline child-porn art of horses.

I’ve had extremely mixed feelings through all of these developments, and I wish there was a cleaner, clearer resolution to all this. This thread leaves me incredibly worried about the state of derpibooru, though, if it’s a sign of the kind of people and rhetoric who will be left on the site.
I don’t want to support censorship here, but there is absolutely a problem that needs addressing in some form or another. :/
 
I personally don’t think you have any real reason to worry about the people who stay. All rational people, who conveniently enough are the majority here, happen to hate both censorship and Nazis.
 
Although a small extension to Rule 0 specifically banning direct promotion of ideologies based around prejudice would probably be a sufficiently satisfactory outcome for either side of this. This phrasing probably isn’t vague enough to be abused, while staying pretty general.
 
Also neither side of this argument contains any Nazis, dammit. I’m damn sure about that, even though I have my doubts about the pro-censorship crowd.

If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly is the process for approving such an edit/addition? Does it take very long?
