Nazis murdered millions of people (minorities), so killing Nazis is a good thing, actually. Stay mad about it :-)

Very simple and easy answer to this: It’s overtly violent for the sake of being violent. This is on par with “fight fire with fire”. Real life Nazis were, in all reality, brainwashed. Does that make their actions right? Hell no. But it also doesn’t give people the right to display acts of violence in retaliation. Yes, free speech exists, absolutely, but with free speech, comes the consequences of free speech. Many.. so, so many people believe that free speech means that you can say or do whatever you want and have no repercussions. There are consequences for everything, and mass downvoting is a very realistic consequence for something you put out in the world, especially when done so on an art board.

tl;dr: This may be an act of “free speech”, but it’s showing hatred and violence in a way that ain’t cool. And people don’t like it.

You can post all you want, but free speech does not mean you are immune to criticism. It goes both ways.

@Background Bat #CD04
What are you on about? Image is still on the website therefore no artistic freedom was violated.
The message of image is pure violence and pretending to have any moral justification for this violence. As i said, this is not how you win hearts of people.
And as for the downvotes you can see this is the trend on almost any political message related arts here. People don’t like political rhetoric shoved in their mouths on the website they come to look at cute/kinky ponies.

Why all the downvotes? Why the hate? Why such a negative response?

Don’t you believe in free speech?
Don’ the Aryanne fans who defended her by saying artists need to be free to draw what they want buy their own rhetoric about how we’re supposed to praise artistic freedom?
Isn’t this just a picture, and pictures can’t hurt people or tell them what to think, so what’s the problem?

Or does all that something-something about “muh freedoms!” and “don’t censor Derpi, bro!” only count when it cuts YOUR way?
Interesting.
Very interesting.

Okay then.

If you think you can win hearts and minds of people with violence then you are delusional. It has the opposite effect even. What message does this send? That whoever opposes so called “nazis” is just a blood thirsty psycho killer? That they speak (or get high on the idea it’s so badass to) language of violence?

@Gamer_Shy
You know what they say, extremism breeds more extremism.

@Space Pirate
Well people who advocate for the genocide of “undesirables” and “subhumans” dont deserve sympathy.

> Aryanne exists as just stupid sexy parody horse
> Just so happens to be parody of Nazis
> Everyone hates Aryanne suddenly
> This gets made

Oof, that is all I can say.

@Background Bat #D26C
You are scum, open advocate of unwarranted aggression

You can’t just say that on a post from three years ago! It’s necroing drama!

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. ^_^

Imagine conflating an offhand comment with necroing drama.
