I do understand, because it’s easier to make accusations and pull some of the worst offenders to make shit seem much worse. The articles will keep coming. Thank the Atlantic and woot for this. More yellow journalism on the way!

Oh look, that slippery slope that we’ve been sliding down. Good thing the rapists and pedos will have their propaganda taken down next.

Just because the US does not consider drawn underage “creatures” (foalcon) as child porn that does not mean every other country don’t either.  
And there are plenty of images where Apple Bloom, Sweetie, Scoots, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon getting fucked hosted here. Which is child porn. The world is not just THE USA you know.

Oh and also do not forget the “rape” tag. I’m sure that is something what is illegal in the US too. Not the pictures, but the “raping someone” itself. So in this regard this site promotes rape.

Okay so after reading a translation of the article several times to make sure i got it.
 
I legit don’t have an issue with it.
 
It basiclly answers their question they posed in the headline with “no not really” or “basically no nazis didn’t take over the fandom”
 
It out right says the pictures people are in an uproar over are extremely minor and not unusual to find in any large community on the net and agrees most of it is likely posted ironically and not to be taken seriously.
 
Yeah some people im the fandom probabaly do think that way like the article says but they are an extreme minority.
 
Honestly the article did decent reserch and is actually saying the “issues” are minor and blown way out of proportions.

This.
 
The atlantic piece was just a convenient excuse to tighten the rules, to remove content they themselves don’t like.
 
I was told by an admin that it was pressure because of that article, but the chat logs proved that was an outright lie.

And just because the EU consider cartoon horses children, doesn’t mean that other countries do.
I’m not sure even EU does - Directive 2011/93/UE :
 
Article 2
Definitions
(a) ‘child’ means any person below the age of 18 years;
(…)
(c) ‘child pornography’ means:
(…)
(iv) realistic images of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct or realistic images of the sexual organs of a child, for primarily sexual purposes;
 
Unless a drawn pony is a “realistic image of a child” and is considered a “person” by law, then EU law does not regulate this.

@Background Pony #B7F3  
That is the EU directive, its up to each country to align their laws accordingly to be at least as strict as the directive in this case.  
In Hungary (where this article is from) its a dubious topic. So far there was no case against anyone owning hentai porn or whatever that is (I’m sure there is a word for underage anime style stuff…). We would only find out if foalcon is considered child porn (or underage anthro) if there were a curt case/precedence.

I mean, most of you are right that what news outlets think shouldn’t matter to much, but from the owner of the sites perspective, it’s real bad.  
A casual person completely unaware of the situation would look at TSP and be like “oh, you own and run a website that multiple news outlets have talked about harboring a Nazi community? That’s fucked up”  
I’m not saying that’s right or ok, I’m saying that from TSP perspective this stuff is about business essentially, not morality.  
Atleast that’s my take.

The casuals think that the dying legacy media have nothing else to write on their site. So it sound ridiculous that a site run by “horse fuckers” is a harbor for “Nazis”.

Are their a victim or actual child abuse within these drawings? if not, then their no case.

That would be true if the person saying “oh, you own and run a website that multiple news outlets have talked about harboring a Nazi community? That’s fucked up” wasn’t a broke twitterino virtue signaling to his followers. Because in the real word one can explain the nuances to the adult one is talking with. Outside the hellhole that is twitter there are conversations and understanding instead of dropping a mouth piece and block whomever refutes it.  
I’m trying to say that it’s not real, it’s all pretend. The articles are fake and the complaints are fake. We gotta stop pretending.

You underestimate the cuckery of the EU, I’m afraid Mr.BGP is correct. Loony judges don’t think twice before shitting on the law to appease a twitter mob.

Are there any victims of the Nazi stuff posted here?
 
How would you react in the following cases:  
  • you were raped as a child, come to this site and see thousands of pictures portraying rape and childporn (just with anthro creatures: funny ears, large eyes and a tail)  
  • your grandfather were killed by nazis or something, come to this site and see thousands of pictures portraying “lol nazi stuff is funny”
     
    Do not get me wrong, I’m anti censorship, I’m just trying to make a parallel example here.
     
    Or take another example: fully computer generated 100% life like child porn, which is motion captured from adult persons. Does that one have a victim?
     
    Just because the US’s lawmaking system always wants a victim to blame that does not mean a victimless crime is not a crime.

No one has any obligations to make room for emotionally damaged people, they have to deal with their own problems like adults just like you and I had to. If one is so damaged to the point where one can’t navigate the internet without freaking out, one should better oneself. Catering and patronizing these hypothetical people is infantilizing, especially when one went out of one’s way to remove the filters.

Yeah this is definitely messed up tho. Still no victim

In this article they write that “Not all Nazi Brony, if there is only a negligible part,”  
Wow, objective journalism? didn’t think I will live up to this.  
Those who draw Aryanne are not necessarily Nazis? wow, this is really an objective look) it was unexpected.  
If I understood correctly from the Google translator.

Well, so they’ll ban that stuff too since the staff rather listen to the SJW “press” instead of the community.

I can’t believe I having this foalcon/lolicon debate yet again. Foalcon cannot possibly be CP because fictional ponies cannot legally be considered children.

You know, its really hard to argue with someone who deliberately ignores the topic what is being talked about.  
I know for someone who is from the USA the world does not exists beyond the borders of it.
