The Anti-Nazi DNP Pledge

Background Pony #996C
Just submitted my DNP. I haven’t posted in here in a while but that doesn’t mean I want my older art (and whatever future art I would bother to post) to be associated with a site run by cowards who sided with neo-nazis. No fucking thank you.
 
Wait, you actually think that Nazis exist here? That’s cute.

I know it’s probably been said before, but still.
 
The site does not support nazies or nazi propaganda. It never was. There are very few people who genuinely side with the nazies. The whole problem here is from some people wrongly assuming that liking Aryanne pics or edgy humor makes you a nazi or pro-nazi.
 
But it’s as wrong an assumption as think that everyone who draw pony porn want to have sex with actual horses. That kind of simplified thinking - labeling people based on your surface impression of them - is how actual racists or nazies think.
 
So all those accusations that the site is caving in to pro-nazies are misleading. It’s just the way to demonize your opponent and put them on the defense, trying to deny something they aren’t by doing the kind of action you want from them.
 
In the end, there are few actual bigots. The problem is in defying what constitutes for being a hate speech or promotion of nazism and what is simply a joke. This is what the argument is mostly about, no one protect an actual hate or nazi ideology.
 
So stop cheapening those words by throwning them at your opponent without a solid reason.

Yeah it’s just typical strawmanning, easy to say “wow the site supports genocide how horrible” to justify these silly actions rather than looking at the reality of things. I firmly believe most people who like Aryanne just like it for the humor aspect of it, it’s essentially shitposting and a meme at this point not some indication that everyone is a Nazi advocating for that as a political position in the modern world.

This whole thing is like people on a boat. A bunch of people are on the boat,and one stinky guy stays in his cabin. People keep opening his door and telling him he stinks. He keeps telling them,just don’t open the door. They keep opening the door and eventually they tell him they’re going overboard because he stinks. He just sits there and wonders why they kept opening the door.

Is there a list of artists who threatened to leave this site? I’d like to know who not to support in the future.

How long until the DNP requests get fulfilled? How long until tons of art that I loved is gone from my favourites and bookmarks that I’ll have to go find again spread out throughout the internet?

When I first started reading this thread I felt a bit cheeky, wondering if @LegatusFlagrans knows what the “Roman Salute” is, but having read the rest, I don’t feel so good anymore.

Your post disappoints me (assuming you’re the same person from EQD). It’s not the admins’ job to upload images, nor is it their job to tag them. Reporting duplicates is handled well by the algorithm now, but users still have a role to play in spotting them. The userbase has always had responsibilities.
 
I know the admins insist that downvotes are supposed to be a measure of quality, not of disapproval, but it’s your responsibility to make your voice heard - in some way.
 
@Braeburned  
This also disappoints me. Aren’t you still highly regarded on /mlp/, the home of the anti-censorship dissidents? There’s standing up for yourself, but dammit man, actually oppose the far right, not abandon the center.
 
The swastika itself is proof that appropriating imagery is nothing new to the reactionary right, but disassociating with anything they merely touch will let them claim the middle ground for themselves.
 
Argh…
 
Very few of the “anti-nazi” posters here were involved in the anti-censorship thread at all. A lot of the anti-censorship posters are here though. I’d speculate that’s because many of the “anti-nazi” posters don’t engage with opposing views.
 
Twitter is a toxic mess of woke bullies and mob justice; a great example of how a democracy run badly becomes anarchy.

The funniest part is if the site NEVER engaged in aryanne censorship or blm fuckery, then THERE WOULD BE NONE OF THIS SHIT.  
People for 9 YEARS posted nazi/commie/rapist/pedo/murder/ect. content, yet NOW it is a problem.  
Neutrality is good, anyone who disagrees is a totalitarian.

Please dont drag irl politics into the fandom. Let the booru be a booru. Nothing more or less. This always destroys the fanbase.

I think I missed something here… what happened to cause this outcry and the takedown requests from the artists here?
Background Pony #5943
I don’t see the problem. Nazi stuff and the like are hidden by defult and if you want more freedom then that you can easily filter them out and anything directly promoting these kinds of things are outright banned.
 
Just use filters people. Its not that hard.

Amen to that. This is supposed to be an archive of EVERYTHING pony. No exceptions, no removals… In a perfect world, anyway.
 
@TagAnon  
Yeah. Quite hilarious that with all the crying wolf about someone else somehow being Nazis, those people are the only ones resorting to the tools of Nazis - threats, censorship, etc.
 
Honestly though, with how much power and traction their echo chambers have on other platforms? The current outcome of essentially a ban on any depictions of extreme ideologies here? I can’t help but think that this is the better outcome. They could easily destroy this site, its reputation, if only they wanted to.
 
A relatively small sacrifice compared to losing derpi entirely. Still, censorship in any form is and always has been on the wrong side of history. Hope they all learn that the hard way.
