Description
I created a graph of how nazi images have progressed over the years. I have included the R^2 value and the trendline function for any super nerds out there. It is important to note that the 2020 data is not complete (since we are only halfway into the year), and as such is a smaller sample size and prone to inaccuracies in final percentages/trendlines. same deal with 2012, since it was only a partial year as well. Also, there will likely be a spike in Aryanne image due to this whole shitshow, although still insignificant to the bigger picture.
Some things i forgot to include in the graph: the “Total nazi count” column is the sum of “nazi” and “oc:aryanne, -nazi” columns. The “% of all art” column is “Total nazi count” column divided by the “# of all art” column, and automatically converted to a percent by google sheets. All math was done using functions in google sheets. (for example, “total nazi count” is
As you can see, nazi image have been declining in popularity ever since Aryanne was created. Aryanne appears to have been introduced to the site some time in 2014, although obviously nazi images existed before that.
I shouldn’t have to say this, but the reason I had to make 3 different graphs was because when they were all on one graph, Nazi images barely even registered on the graph at all
Feel free to call me out on any mathematical mistakes I may have made. Also feel free to do some data collection for yourself, Id love to see more graphs like this. also for the record, anyone downvoting is a poot and probably doesnt like facts lol

). As mentioned by @Polonius, the trendlines are not super ideal. I used google sheet’s auto trendline settings for them and as such are a little far from the data.As you can see, nazi image have been declining in popularity ever since Aryanne was created.

Some people welcome their end.
I’ve thought the same. I suppose one metric would be the number of new art posts each day. It doesn’t look like it’s gone down, but rather looks pretty stable.
derpi looks really happy here
Giving it a little more thought makes me think that comparing the average fave for an Aryanne + Nazi pic, Aryanne alone, Nazi alone, versus the average fave for all pics (minus Aryanne and Nazi pics) would be more meaningful. That might not be exactly the correct comparisons, but I think that starts giving a better picture of popularity than just number of pics. In other words, with your above analysis, you’ve only barely scratched the surface with the popularity question.
Yes. The implication is that the decimal point was missed or is purposefully ignored due to confirmation bias.
I know its satire, but you know it never actually reached half of one percent right?
“Oh my gosh! Nazi images made up almost half the website in 2015! See! Nazis are huge in the fandom!”
Thank you for reading this ideological satire. A new feature will be starting soon.
Judging by the comments, not everyone knows this. Some really take it seriously, lol
A surprise to no one that journalistic integrity is a meme.
Because the flock in the yellow newspaper has already been written, the deed is done.

i included it in the bottom left of the image. theres a search term called “
created_at:
” which lets you see what images were made that year. (ex:created_at:2016
shows only images from 2016 (UCT))I imagine he used created_at.lte/gte to restrict to each period and checked the total results.

do you have a non-cumulative version? i think that would be interesting to see
