The Anti-Censorship DNP Pledge

windburst

Another news article, this time attempting to be more neutral:
https://quillette.com/2020/06/27/is-the-my-little-pony-fan-community-really-full-of-nazis/
The Atlantic article avoids mentioning the half-million pornographic images the site hosts, because doing so reveals that the community’s widespread opposition to content moderation on their imageboard is about protecting sexually explicit content rather than creating a space for hateful politics to flourish, and it further reveals that the Bronies are 500 times more interested in having sex with My Little Pony characters than they are in spreading racist pony memes.
 
Well, we all love our clop

I’m down with this. It’s truly a shame seeing a site I frequent regularly dig itself in the rabbit hole and not support it’s own community against censorship´.
 
Their loss, if they don’t appreciate freedom of expression, then I don’t see a need of my artwork being here.

I see, thank you for the information, Rhorse. I might look into joining PF soon, in light of all this.

I…what? No. That’s not what I’m getting at at all. I’m saying people may not want to announce their withdrawal from the site from fear of what Twitter mobs may think of them taking issue with such a progressive change in policy. All your change would do is have Derpi trying to throw it’s own users under the bus, and still get blamed for hosting such content.

Good to know that making someone go to a different domain name is the same thing as destruction of private property, theft, violent assault and even murder*.
 
*correct me if I’m wrong as I don’t follow the situation closely, I did hear people mention deaths caused by the riots but I’m not certain on this

I mean artists names are not out there when they post the pictures. They get to post them, but not get blame for them

This is a problem about whether Derpi should host the content at all. The people calling for this change are aware other people make Aryanne art. They don’t want Derpibooru to platform it. Derpi changing it’s UI to put “blame” on artists and uploaders is not the answer.

@Osha  
But the people who want to make Aryanne art want the site to take blame for it. I am just saying that maybe it be better if the site allows it, but make the people making it take blame

False equivalence. A large portion, and likely most, people drawing Aryanne art don’t care about any kind of blame, much less who’ll be taking it, and just want to draw the interesting juxtaposition of cute pastel pony and cruel beliefs.

Just a small tag under the image. And if people complain, the mods always tell them to filter.
 
What I suggest is to just show more emphasis on who makes the pictures. If someone wants to complain, let them know clear who to complain to.

you literally got a tag in blue saying artist: and then the actual name.

Looking For My Doctor
We have found a couple people pretending to be on both sides of the argument in here. Alternatively promoting then attacking both people in this thread and the thread itself. They weren’t just doing it in here - they were bouncing back and forth between different threads promoting and attacking each side. Drama was their goal, and they seem to be fairly good at creating it.

I think we’ve found most of them and they are permanently banned from the site, but I’ll keep an eye on this thread for awhile in case they come back, and will continue to look through the thread to see if some of the other more rule-breaking comments in here were by the same people on different IPs.
 
In the meantime, if you suspect any other posts (either in this thread or elsewhere on the site) of being ‘false flag’ or sockpuppeting, please report them.
 
PS: Good advice:

I’m just feeling despondent that this is further dividing our already moribund fandom.

It’s pretty telling that you think “Nazi” and “white supremacist” are buzzwords.
