An overwhelming show of rejection isthe way to keep your community free of the kind of insane self-appointed witch hunters that dominate Twitter and Tumblr. Never give them a foothold, or they’ll take over your platform and weaponize it.  
You get mad about people circlejerking, but it’s just giving a unified middle finger to the wokescolds.

It’s what keeps the fandom alive

An MLP controversy in 2020?

don’t mind me, just driving through the comments section in my car….

This is why activism is a fucking joke these days. They’re so petty and unfocused in areas that need it.

@EricNeoMatrix  

Lol

@Selaphiel  
This.
 
It’s a shitpost guys. You look at it, you laugh, then you move on with your life.

@Selaphiel  
I think it’s mostly cause we’re bored.

@Selaphiel  
Though both have been snowballed together, yeah a lot of people that I saw were reacting more towards the image. Regardless I think the attention this is getting, positive or negative is overblown considering there has been way worse posted here for years but I guess on the twitter end they forgot that edgy humor is a bit more common in this fandom.
 
@The Frowning Pony  
It only takes 1 or 2 to start a fight. Considering one of the users kept coming back over and over again with a bit of an hysterical reaction I can see why it went on with a few replying to him. In fact that I would say it’s the norm of drama two have one or two instigators and dozens more reacting to it. I’m seen the script flipped two. It also could be like when they find one random bernie bro or Trump supporter that said something mean and than plaster it onto the news even if it was only something like some random twitter user with a couple of offending tweets with less than a dozen likes and than that balloons into 15k replies against it swarming the original tweet.

@Selaphiel  
Right? Way more egregious [allegedly], right under the radar.

I’m baffled over how a obvious shitpost drawing that was done with no ill intention on anyone managed to garner far more controversy and attention than the situation with another artist with his alleged acts of racism.
 
Where art thou PRIORITIES?!

That’s because Twitter is internet australia: a barren wasteland, full of toxic predators, criminals, smooth-brained idiots, and constantly on fire.

@The Frowning Pony  
Here, sure, but a certain side of Twitter was and still is on fire over this.

@Selaphiel  
Half if not more are “LMAO, SNOWFLAKES FUCKING TRIGGERED, KEK”, and half of the remaining are “this is bait” or barely related shitposts. The number of people complaining about the image is minuscule compared to the people reeing about people complaining about the image (or just jerking themselves off to ~drama~ and pitching in to make it louder).

@EricNeoMatrix  

 
That is what’s been baffling many of us here.

@EricNeoMatrix  
Taking it seriously.

How the hell does an obvious shitpost have so many comments?

@Vivace  
Not the one that was thought of or suggested.

I want to see that!
 
Watch shit BURN!

@Selaphiel  
There was one, but it seems to have been obliterated.

@Selaphiel  
The outrage could be worse because it might be relatively more warranted.
