The current focus is on content relating to the Holocaust and Nazi propaganda (as in like, pictures of Nazi parades with ponies inserted). I expect after this we’ll look at images with racism, and then possibly Rule 3 political stuff in general.

You’re making a large assumption about the reasoning behind this, creating a “loaded question”. The rule update wouldn’t be happening in this form if we had consistent enforcement of Rule 0 to begin with, regardless of what anyone said off of the site.
Frankly, it’s an entirely false narrative that the rule didn’t need any reworking; I’ve actually been planning on a smaller form of reworking of the rule for the better part of a year, targeting low effort content. While it’s uncertain how that would’ve panned out with affecting the language about discrimination, and thus enforcement, it certainly wouldn’t snap into a state where the rule wording okays something like a Le Happy Merchant screencap edit*, and most likely would’ve seen at least a similar splitting up of that large bulletpoint for readability’s sake.
*Images that are
that far have been not-okay for
6 years, and it’s important we recognize that this booru has had actual moderation of images for racist content for those years. Whether you are against deleting something for being a form of propaganda to try to make people racist or not, you should reckon with the fact that this is content we didn’t suddenly target one day recently, and that if you didn’t know that, you were unfamiliar with our rules.
The rule change is not a binary switch from not deleting things for racism to deleting them, but a change of how we approach a determining line.
