The Anti-Censorship DNP Pledge

@Background Pony #2A6F  
Imagine posting nazi memes and dark humor on a website dedicated to a show for children. Because we really need our free speech.

@Number_055  
It’s not based on hate, it just inevitably leads to the deaths of millions of people! But not hatefully, it’s like smothering your nan because she’s eating too much food and the the family is starving.

@Archive_Anon  
Indeed. But so has allowing fascism to grow unmolested.

Aight, I’m out. Y’all are hopeless. Feel free to DM me if you have a strategy other than politely asking communists to stop destroying you.

@Background Pony #14C5  
Imagine thinking that this website is purely meant for children.
 
Imagine not realizing that the defeult filters filter the dark humor out requiring people to manually turn filters off or removing that specific filter to see the content.
 
Imagine thinking that those who look at those images are actual real life nazis.

Some dude drawing a nazi horse isn’t going to bring back the third reich. As someone from 4chan, I’m used to being confronted with things that I either disagree with or which outright offend me, but like any person who doesn’t spend their days being coddled in an echo chamber, you develop a shield for those kind of things. The power of a free civilization means problems are dealt with through dialog, and not by forbidding thought and banning disagreeable content. By doing the latter you only cause a massive counter-reaction that ends up dividing and potentially destroying communities you enjoy. There was nothing wrong with Derpibooru a month ago, and look where we are now. It’s practically a civil war.

@Background Pony #14C5
 
Derpibooru is about as fit for children as pornhub.

@Latecomer  

 
If you can find some and have irrefutable proof that they are, in fact, Nazis, then they should be banned. If they happened to like all the Nazi stuff, too, then it still doesn’t matter. There are plenty of people who aren’t Nazis that still enjoy things like Aryanne. They shouldn’t be punished because there were a few rotten eggs that just happened to be here.

Go ahead and try to sell me that bridge lol.

@Background Pony #3117  
Only because “Nazis are antithetical to everything this community stands for” turned out to have less than the total support one might expect.

One thing- I’m Chinese. China is still technically communist.
 
Hold on a second

@JaggedCarpet  
Not a bad argument - but I can’t agree, not when there is this big a backlash. If no-one cared about this stuff, then it would vanish quietly.

@Zatss  
Warhammer icon? Check.  
Supporting a very specific side in this conversation? Check.  
Rainbooru / 4chan tag? Check.

@Zatss  
What do you hope to see done other than just leaving? The staff themselves claim that they couldn’t do shit.  
Unless you’re open to the idea of burning the site down on your way out, there’s not much that anyone here can do.

@EldunarIan  
You make the mistake of assuming everyone who disagrees with censorship is a nazi or a nazi sympathizer.

@Latecomer  
My family has suffered many deaths during WW2. My great-grandpa for one, was tortured to death for daring hide some unauthorized meat in the house during the USSR occupation. Take it from me, if you’re pro-censorship, you are a bad person, or extremely misguided. I will NEVER falter on everyone’s free rights.

@Background Pony #3117  
Are Nazis or censorship worse?

@Background Pony #3117  

 
Which, I must note, is a highly ironic assumption to make.

@Derwol  
Well then, you stick by your principles and I’ll stick by mine.

@Background Pony #3117  
And oh my God does that statement say so much about our political culture and historical literacy.

@Background Pony #3117  
Like I said… kindergartener’s guide to arfuements. Next they’ll be giving out some ridiculously black and white choice where both are extremes

Some people need their thoughts controlled. Trying to reason with them is noble, but don’t wear yourself out.

@Latecomer  
Damn, I’m good

@Background Pony #3117
 
I never made any such assumption. The problem is that not all censorship is bad. By protesting the new rules, you are supporting the posting of hateful content.

@Number_055
 
I never made that assumption, so shame on you.
