The Anti-Nazi DNP Pledge

@PurpleSmart2
We just had people here earlier today promoting segregation.

Stop acting like racism doesn’t already have some foothold in this community.

Yes, because some bored trolls trying to get a rise out of you is apparently proof that racism is getting a hold in this community. The troll are playing you like a fiddle. Don’t just fall for their bait.

All censroship starts with the most ballant example.
For example - if you wanna censor games, then censor “breast jiggle”.
Wanna censor movies? Attack them with “lack of diversity”.
Once derpibooru censors “nazi content”, then the floodgates will open and the site will be destroyed.

Attention members of the Anti-Racism/Anti-Bigotry/Anti-Nazi/Pro-Black Lives Matter protest.

This is my own personal statement. The site has not yet figured out how to respond to you, or even bothered to publicly acknowledge your concerns.

While at the same time our primary administrator has not only acknowledged and answered questions about the anti-censorship protesters concerns in their protest thread, they have stated that Blossomforth’s announcement re-affirming our intention of “enforcing our rules against racism, homophobia, hatred, bigotry, and so on more consistently and strictly” is not site policy.

I personally believe that this site should take a strong stance against racism, homophobia, hatred, and bigotry in all of its forms.

I personally affirm that the Anti-Racism/Anti-Bigotry/Anti-Nazi/Pro-Black Lives Matter protesters have valid and crucial concerns about the future of this community, and of this site.

I personally agree with Hasbro’s statements about Inclusiveness and Diversity, as well as their support of the Black Lives Matter protests, and the importance of encouraging a welcoming environment for all fans of My Little Pony.

I personally believe that we should reaffirm our stance against racial, sexual, homophobic, or otherwise demeaning slurs, and against any similarly abusive content.

And I have been calling for a return of the Rule #5 clause:

Do not upload any content that contains hate speech or nazi propaganda. This includes content that promotes nazi ideals, and content that promotes hatred and/or discrimination against others based on race, gender, or sexuality

I have written to many of you who have asked for takedowns or DNPs (just as I have written to people asking for takedowns on both sides of this protest), and I have been pointing to Blossomforth’s announcement as a public statement of our site’s stance on these issues.

Now that Blossomforth’s statement has been declared to not be site policy, I do not have anything to give you, short of statements that our primary administrator gave in the counter-protest to your own.

And asking any of you to carefully consider the acknowledgement and concern for the people protesting your protest is just not something I am willing to do.

I still believe this can be an awesome community, and an awesome site, but we are wounded and damaged and it will take time to heal.
But first, everyone needs to be willing to heal, and to get along, and to find a path forward together.

Given yesterday’s statements, and especially given the public announcement that Blossomforth’s statements are not site policy, I do not see evidence that we are at that point.

At this time, this is all that I really can share.

These are my personal feelings on all of this.

You won. Quit rubbing it in our faces. Why don’t you just goose-step your way to the other thread and post some celebratory swastikas?

It was the “pro-nazi” side tried to nuke the site with DNP requests (need only a confirmation) though

“Anti-nazi” side went immediately for takedown requests (need talking with the requester and then having to delete their images with no bulk tools to do so) and attacking Derpibooru’s patreon and trying to GDPR Philomena
