Here is a concise but complete description : >>2396053
 
Roughly : SJWs among the staff see spooky Nazis everywhere, staff start deleting horses, artists get angry because art-people tend to not like censorship, staff retreat, SJWs among artists get angry because they liked the censorship, staff start deleting more stuff and ban people left and right, insert various shitshows due to staff’s lack of internal cohesion and preparation, people on both side side say “fuck it” and leave.  
TL-DR : Drama. A long, pointless (and hilariously bad) one.
 
On the plus side :  
  • The fandom now has actual archives, with everything deleted from Derpibooru - including old stuff from artists who jumped fandom, or those on DNP.  
  • This resulted in the biggest charity event in the fandom’s history (by a large margin), which led to saving IRL horses.

People think Derpibooru will come to an end because the administrators are making a lot of mistakes.  
@GreyGears  
And you have an interesting and heavy proof to our words. Derpibooru is really on its last legs if you really think it. There’s a long way to think.

Which backfired spectacularly if they intended to get rid of Aryanne.
 
 
She had pretty much faded into obscurity, but thanks to this shitshow she got more fresh content than ever … and that’s without counting the incoming Freedom of Speech artpack that pushed artists who would never have considered drawing her otherwise. That’s how much people despise SJWs trying to ruin everything with their religion.

My Little Pony - 1992 Edition

From what I can gather, someone said nazis are bad.  
Someone else heard that and went “ya know what, nazis are bad”  
A bunch of nazis lost their minds  
and a bunch of centrists joined them because they think saying ‘nazis are bad’ is a political opinion and therefore equally evil to nazis.
 
How we got here from a show about friendship is beyond me, but the internet moves in mysterious ways.

Jesus, we’re doomed. I wasn’t buying into the whole derpibooru falling apart stuff before, but all of this has got me unironically losing hope in this place. This will be devastating for the cohesion of the community beyond derpibooru moving forward. What a miserable load of shite.
You think this is bad, ask Trekkies about Star Trek: Discovery and Picard; and while you’re at it, might as well mention the J.J. Abrams movies. Talking about community cohesion, this is nothing. Try being knee-deep in a community that fervently disagrees on what’s even canon now.

Basically The Atlantic wrote an article about nazis in the brony fandom, derpibooru doubled down on their rules and everyone lost their shit. I highly doubt the website is going to close down.

tl;dr dwindling community splits over petty garbage “”””“politics”””””. Save or mirror the stuff you like while you still can. It’s all downhill from here.

Short version :  
Staff goes political.  
Community goes upset.  
Staff double down.  
Artists go ballistic.  
Staff back down.  
Twitter goes ballistic.  
Site owner threaten to go ballistic on staff if they don’t follow Twitter’s orders.
 
May include : paranoia about Nazis being everywhere, journalists making bullshit headline about it, 4chan ending up venerating a transsexual, and lot of backstabbing between staff members.  
Honestly the most ridiculous and thus best drama I have ever seen on the internet, it could work decently as the scenario for an Hollywood trilogy.
