What's next in this Drama and What is happening behind the scenes?

@Background Pony #A076  
Well, I was almost fooled. Should have known when a similar thing was tried on /mlp/.

@Barhandar  
I don’t mean TSP himself, I mean this particular action. Now that I’ve looked at it closer, it looks like he was just talking about Raptorshy, and I don’t think he did this intending to engage with people outside Derpi preferentially.

@Background Pony #9882  
Sure looks like TSP is “under control”. Funny how he’ll talk to Dilarius on Twitter, but not to the users on his own website.

What’s even more funny is like I pointed out, TSP is playing the “centrist route,” which only pisses off both sides of the debacle. The fact that there’s still drama about this, sixteen days after it started, is honestly really pathetic.
 
Make a hard decision now, or don’t, but don’t waste everyone’s time with talks of “compromise.”

@Background Pony #F079  
Centrist role?  
Read the mod chat leaks, please. I don’t think you realize how wrong you are.

@Background Pony #F079  
He is really not even close to playing a centrist role

@Background Pony #F079  
No Mate, Luna is currently playing centrist in making these sickening clarification of rules and pushing for some censorship, pleasing a tiny minority.
 
TSP is full on Pro Censorship side.
 
EDIT: On the topic of Dilarus… he is irredeemably bad, he is pure toxicity and i see no benefit in having him around. He basically breaths creating chaos and drama. SJW in the flesh.

WHAT THE FUCK.  
How many times you need to hear that?
 
You. Do not. Engage. With. Terrorists.  
You. Do not. Negotiate. With. Terrorists.
 
They will only force you to accept their demands and then will came up with new ones, and the cycle will continue.
 
And yes, someone who threatens to cut sites funding because “ThingsIDon’tLike” is a terrorist.

@Infinite Winter
 
Well, to be exact, they are acting like terrorists, because they would argue that to be a terrorist is to have a bit different goals.

@Background Pony #606D  
If you’re implying that we should do to these assholes what the US does to (air quotes optional) real terrorists, you’re asking to be banned. For a rational reason no less.  
Edit: ignoring terrorists might not have the desired effect either. No guarantee that ignoring them makes them go away.  
@DragonRanger  
Good question. Someone work on cutting him off. Anything short of ripping his Ethernet out will do. I don’t care if I get banned for this, it might be better for all of us.

@Princess Luna
 
And what do you think about this?
 
Samuel Pierce demonstrates how adamant they are about bringing this site down, until it follows their demands, and that they will destory all the people that happen to not support 100% ban of every single nazi-themed art on this site.
 
Is there a point in trying to create new rules and talk with the useres here, if that’s how the Twitter mob reacts to everything, and knowing they are planning to go to war with you after this…

Dilarus, such a lovely person, not only wanting to ban Nazi images, but also wanting to axe of artists who have drawn it. Yeah lets pander to that guy… what could go wrong…

@Seiken
 
“Covered in them”.
 
Yeah, 1/5th of 1% of total artworks on the site apparently means “being covered in them”.
 
Very hilarious logic we can observe here…
 
There are more chances to encounter an actual racist (or an actual nazi sympathizer) on the street, than randomly encountering a nazi art on this site.

This whole thing is nothing but a modern day version of “Wont someone think of the children!” with the admin bending over to appease these people. Once the blood is in the water they won’t stop, nothing you do will be enough, they will always have new demands.

@besom  

 
Basically.
 
@Background Pony #606D  
I mean, with how ardently these people are fighting “nazis”, and the Dolores corollary…

@besom

And you can already see the beginnings of a witchhunt.

Why are these people being catered too.

@Background Pony #606D  
who is this dilarus and why should we care about that guy’s opinion.  
TSP does because that’s how you get social points, he’s just afraid of getting cancelled.

@Patachu  

 
We care because TSP is still capable of nuking the site; until either TSP is gone or he stops being a fucking coward, talks with people HERE and stops being a totalitarian, Derpi is still in danger.

I love how the staff of this website manages to essentially piss off everyone. You would think that it would be easy to just show their middle finger to the side that is trying to censor half of the website and keeps demanding more and more without actually doing anything for the site in the first place.
 
But instead they play this game where they wake up and cater to one side, which pisses off the other side, then they cater to that one, which pisses off the first side.
 
And people just being here to look at art are sick of the whole thing.
 
Again, feels like it would be simple to just say “DB will not change to your needs and if you do not like it, leave” but I guess they never actually thought of that. Would solve everything and Twittermobs tend to calm down after a while.

@Barhandar
 
not gonna say but in case of, Rainbooru is almost finished and operational on the base. If he wants, it’s his site, anyways he knows the fandom is dying and want to jump on the furry fandom trying to compete against e621 with his furry booru, just like a megacorporation dropping the rainbow like an used towel to move on the next cause to advertise.

@Seiken  
Up until this fiasco started, didn’t the Nazi tag make up for like, 0.25% of all the images of the site? How is that “covering the site”?
 
Why of all people do TSP and Luna (princess celestia now) want this guy’s approval?

@Background Pony #E4C2
 
Isn’t that fantastic, now he wants to actively challenge individual artists… the guy is nuts, trying to divide a shrinking community by making them pick sides.

@Barhandar  
There’s also this.  
https://twitter.com/Dilarus/status/1284070356903485441  
“Would be a shame if your funding was cut for all those evil Nazi image you got there.”

@Background Pony #D9E3  
Also this. I can’t believe how actually, unironically vile this person is.
