Filter black lives matter if it offends your delicate sensibilities.

@Background Pony #8049  
TUA tends to do that, it’s better to ignore him and actually deal with the mods directly.

I added the tag because it applied.

@LightningBolt  
>>2364024 still needs the tag “comments locked down”.

@Dogman15  
Why is that a tag.
 
k tho

@LightningBolt  
I’m surprised you didn’t know about it.

It’s a useful tag for heads-up purposes, especially for long comment sections.

@Background Pony #8049
 
I didn’t know he was a mod.

@Background Pony #3C2E  
He’s not.

full face view seems to be another “personal gallery” tag that is additionally a duplicate of bust/portrait.

The new pony life short The Great Race needs a yellow tag

@Patachu  
That has nothing to do with tagging questions.

>>2368491
 
Why does an image with a filly in a guillotine repeatedly keep having the safe tag put back on it instead of the semi-grimdark it quite clearly deserves? That is absolutely not the kind of content that should be visible in the Default filter that little kids are seeing when they come here.

@TexasUberAlles  
I see someone’s not using the right thread.  
Anyway, the short of it is that society is perfectly fine with showing danger of bad stuff in kids’ media, it’s the bad stuff itself that can’t be shown, and the ratings should reflect this.
 
Do you think the site shouldn’t be showing these official MLP manga volume 2 panels to kids?:  
 
 
(next is a slightly later panel window, and without coloring)  
 
There’s a panel not uploaded yet that has them try to do it for real while she’s distracted by a ladybug, before Doctor Whooves comes to the rescue.  
 
The whole sequence of pages can be found here.
 
As well, kids’ media is free to pretend to show a character’s been decapitated, so long as it’s not really the case.  
 
Something similar happens in Just For Sidekicks, where Scootaloo asks where Tank’s head is, and a very concerned Spike busts in seeing Tank sans head with a bit of red by the opening in the shell, but then Tank pokes his head out as Scootaloo remarks she just forgot he could do that.
 
There’s also the 2017 movie if you want to look at dark stuff in general. The mane 6 nearly drown, a Storm King guard is seen covered in flames as he falls over, and the Storm King himself ends up as a severed obsidian head in front of the camera. I’m not really sure how characters in guillotines is worse.
 
Now, in most FiM stuff, the character is shown fine afterwards, which you could say as why the Pinkie thing is fine, but in addition to not working for the stuff that happens to the bad guys in the movie, you can see this is clearly not the case for decapitation in general in other kids’ media, like Star Wars: Rebels (rated TV-Y7), Dan Vs. (rated TV-Y7), or Chicken Run (rated G). All heavily imply the act and do not show the characters fine afterwards; they simply don’t show the characters again at all, which strongly suggests it’s the gore and suffering that kids’ shows can’t show, not the setup.

The expanded tag description for out of character should be changed to include “Any user who adds this tag is probably ass-mad that a canon character from a show subtitled ‘Friendship Is Magic’ was used to express an anti-racist sentiment.”, since that is objectively 99.9% of the motivation behind anyone that’s added it in the last two weeks.

@TexasUberAlles  
I mean, you could just report it for tag vandalism. There’s already a tag for mouthpiece. If such “wildly out of character” things warranted that tag, surely it would need to be on every image rated above safe (along with 99% of the non direct screencap images on here).⸮

@Damaged  
Seven out of the last ten reports I’ve filed have been for fairly obvious Rule #2 violations and not much has been done about any of them, I rather doubt that pointing out the undeniable fact that channer dreg BPs are brigading BLM and general anti-racist uploads lately will have much of an effect beyond the backstage downvote-locking that’s already being done.

@TexasUberAlles  
You mean like this?

So a mod just removed the All cops are bastards tag from a pic that has RD wearing a bandana saying just that? What.

@Background Pony #D08D  
The tag is “acab”. It is still on the image.

@TexasUberAlles  
The “treating anyone any better or worse because of their skin color is bad, mmmkay” kind of anti-racism, or “IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT BLM (for reference, the organization whose solution to rampant crime issues in black communities is DELET LAW ENFORCEMENT) YOU ARE SCUM” kind?  
@Derpy Whooves  
That is what “ACAB” means. Please don’t hide it behind acronyms.

@Background Pony #C494  
The tag typed out in its entirety has only ever been used once - on that image, which was uploaded less than an hour ago. Please dial back the hyperbole and please pick one and only one way to present yourself in this thread. If you want to be anon here, stay anon now. But please don’t jump back and forth.

@Background Pony #C494  
Please don’t hide it behind acronyms  
I hate to interrupt someone while they’re making a fool of themselves, but do you sincerely not grasp the narrative irony of a logged-in user throwing down a challenge like that while hiding behind the ☑Anonymous checkbox?

@TexasUberAlles  
Anonimity is fine, not everyone wants a social credit attached to their opinionoutlet
