The Anti-Censorship DNP Pledge

I hate to break it to you, but the “site run by artists’ idea was already implemented, it’s called “derpibooru”. As you can see, it didn’t work. Moderatar brain always overrides artist brain.

@Background Pony #27F0  
Could this be? The one true blackpill to rule them all?

@–  
Boom.
 
Headshot.

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
It’s true, being a moderator gives you brainworms. It’s a well documented phenomenon.

Putting myself down on the DNP list.

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
The underlying issue he’s talking about is management time. It’s very easy to spend more time on management than art once a site like this starts. ESPECIALLY when it has a forum and comments system, communities increase maintenance and mod time hundredfold.

HMU if you want a list of my favorite documentaries. I have a warm-up and cool-down rotation and everything.

@–  
I hope “Deep Water” (2006) is on that documentary list. _{(sorry for derailing a bit but felt I needed to say)}

@Skoon
 
I know im really late to this but im really glad you are reconsidering. I cant speak for everyone here but I know I also dont much care for the nazi imagery. Althrough I disapprove of what they are saying, I will defend to the death for their right to say it. And honestly discussion is the best way to change hearts and minds. Once again and looking forward to more discussion and maybe find some more common ground ^^

@YourPalWaver  
See, that is one of my favorite sayings of all time. “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

@YourPalWaver  
Yeah, I forgot about that motto for a time it seems.
 
I dunno, I think I just want people to like me and I am starting to think my motive all along was seeking approval out of loneliness and a “washed-up” complex.

The only positive to come out of this debacle is destroying the glamour and revealing that this whole fucking fandom has a rotted racist core.

@–  
It goes well with “whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.” What good is it to ban nazi stuff, if you become a nazi yourself? Censorship was one of their greatest tools.

@MrXemnas1992  
I dunno what fandom you’re looking at, but I think it’s a different one from the one I’m looking at.

@MrXemnas1992  
Wrong thread bucko commie thread is the other way.

@MrXemnas1992  
Bronies were ever thought as glamorous?
 
All I remember is uhm… literally everyone hating us for existing. Even FURRIES.

@MrXemnas1992  
In my case I have a new found respect for the importance of free speech, and am quite impressed at those who stood in opposition to the unnecessary censorship. I sadly also learned that, on the other side of the debate, a lot of artist’s who’s work I enjoyed are very, very whiny people. I’m much less impressed with that side, particularly with how a lot of them were quick to villainize the opposition.

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
GLAMOUR AS IN THE ARCHAIC DEFINITION MEANING ILLUSION.

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
They hated us for not immediately allowing them to exist (given the fandom starting on le evul 4chins, to be expected), not for racism or shit.

@MrXemnas1992  
>destroying the glamour  
this fanbase never had glamour in the first place. If one looks at how it started,you will realize that ponies were weaponized autism for anonymous users back in the day and spam them to infinity on /b/.Bronies have always been seen as degenerates in the eyes of outsiders and media outlets.
 
Unless that your definition of shitposting is a synonym for glamour inside your head, there was never any glamour to destroy here.

@Datte-Before-Dawn  
The second the fandom popped up, I remember furries targeting it to take heat off them.
 
Which didn’t last long, because Bronies didn’t give a fuck and just got louder as a result and the Furries kept making people hate them.

@Skoon
 
Its all good man! like I said im just happy that youre here to even consider another viewpoint, and to post about it takes serious stones.

@YourPalWaver  
Same, I’m glad for everyone who’s turned out in support of our community’s autonomy and freedom of speech. Doubly so, since standing up for ourselves opens us to accusations of Nazism.

@YourPalWaver  
Thank you. :)
 
I still expect the worst grief to come yet from me dropping out and switching gears. I have a feeling that in 24 hours I will have at least three less friends. :/
 
It would not be the first time.
