Description
I been occupied lately, so I almost missed this debate, but might as well throw my thoughts in too.
Strikes me as odd how a site which not only harbors but in large part actively accepts Niggertron, God-king of political incorrectness, would take offense to the word faggot. Have i taught ya’ll niggas nothing? Have I not taught you bitches that by having insults lobbed at you, you diminish the power of those insults to hurt you?
Of course, I’m glossin over some shit. The original objection was that OP is a faggot images were being used as direct verbal attacks on members. While nigger is arguably more offensive than faggot, Niggertron is a fuckin boss, whereas OP is a fag images were intended to belittle the target of they derision. I’m flattered the mods think that my work is in a different class from these unoriginal ass image macros, but I find this distinction fairly arbitrary. Niggas who find such words offensive aint’ gon care how they used.
Ultimately, Clover’s decision is the right one. Provided they tagged right and are pony related, there’s no reason OP is a fag images, or any images really, shouldn’t be uploaded to DB. There’s a lotta nasty shit on here but the beauty of this site is that you control what you want to see. It is you the user who is placed in charge of what you get out of this site.
I for one, gon’ celebrate this as a triumph of freedom over political correctness.

Hey, no problem, I am the sites greatest dick after all, so I kind of deserve it if I am causing you so much trouble.
In any case, I just want to understand that I am not going to go storm the gates about the matter even I disagree, but I won’t stop disagreeing about the approach. On the other hand, I can understand you doing a cost-benefit analysis of giving people freedom to do things, or not, and concluding that you would rather not have those bothers be niggling at your feet, so in a way I guess I agree with what you are doing, despite disagreeing with what you are doing?
My point is, I’m just expressing my personal opinion and I meant nothing more with it. I was kind of surprised I got a response at all, actually.
Also, for the editing thing, changing from anonymous to your name could be a thing? I generally try to put my name to things which are more than just passing comments (like opinions) but sometimes forget to change it back(like that last background comment in here), so that would be kind of cool. Or I could stop being careless and actually check before posting, but that’s not the point.
Yeah… I was being “a bit” of a dick back there. Sorry.
This stuff just really grinds my gears. I don’t want the level of dialogue here to resemble that of “other places” and end up where every other comment is “>autism”, “you’re a raging faggot” or what have you other memetic half-joke insult. On my side, it’s less protecting other people, more not wanting to read comment after comment that look taken out of a problem neighborhood’s schoolyard.
Dude, I spend ours discussing with Smiling and still think he is wrong in his approach and is too preachy (plus a bunch of other mean stuff), and even I think you are an idiot if you think that.
:/
itt mods revert their stance to accommodate an opposing view
>abuse of power
Dont shed light into stuff, because you just darken it, man. :S
*Derpibooru, but I doubt that was an actual typo.
Either way, you’d likely be surprised to know that I actually talk to, and more importantly listen to people that contribute to the site, not just random sites or tumblr links, but direct conversations with people. And you’re one of the things that comes up the most. So yeah, congrats.
If your next question is “can I see those conversations”, then my answers are, in order “no, there’s a thing called privacy”, “I don’t even know how to get logs from these various things” and “why should I?”.
I can’t be offended by that insult, no, so you guys shouldn’t worry too much about my feelings in that regard. I’m more concerned at being called the largest source of drama in Ponibooru and not even noticing.
That’s like burning your house and not waking up until your brief are alit.
After a dive, nothing much came up. Maybe I’m just forgetting comments I made, but I did find a comment about telling a transsexual that he is a women simply because he said so to be kind of not making much sense, which sounds like my personal position, but I can’t confirm if it’s me and in general my post wasn’t even the main part… so yeah, I’m not feeling like the greatest villain here, particularly when my comments are normally lost to the fray and always pointing out the same thing: mind over matter is a myth and you can’t simply rewrite reality with your mind. If I do have the odd honored of being the largest source of drama for derpibooru, and it is because of small comment than those rather than the far larger blocks, damn am I efficient.
Or is it all my Alicorn Twilight commentaries and my ever decreasing opinion of the supporters? Cause that I can totally understand.
Feel free to message me with your findings or at least what search terms you are using to find them, cause:
derpibooru drama -derpiboo.ru -derpibooru.org
derpibooru
_-- -derpiboo.ru -derpibooru.orgAnd a bunch of other combinations, in addition to various tumblr ones yielded… two images of possible involvement and little else. I also went through a couple pages of comments (142 pages, but you know that) and can’t find anything resembling comments in those various tags. I guess I’ll just keep going through it tomorrow and find more damning things than my first twenty pages.
So, keep up the… whatever you are doing, it’s late and I have to go to sleep.
Oh, that was irony; after all, he can’t be offended, can he?
Double standards much? I can call someone an idiot, attacking him mentally and intellectually, but when i use another word it totally becomes and insult to him and to a group of people? Sorry, but you ARE acting like a kid. If people wont play by your rules then no people play at all.
You called - _ - _ - _ - _ - what you called him when it was clear you were getting annoyed at his insistence, and a lot of people have been telling you what he/she and me have been saying to you, yet you wont even listen, or you will repeat your point as if saying it many times would make it the truth.
In the end i only see mods complaining about the word faggot.
Maybe you could make a census and see what the majority of the site thinks?
Doesn’t matter who he is. You just went from saying attacking people is bad straight to a personal attack of someone. I was just being sarcastic about it.
In the end, though, it’s mostly opinions here. No use in fighting about it, so I’m sorry about that. And, in the end, I have no doubt that you can run this site far better than I could, just don’t let personal feelings get in the way.
When the content of the message is “being gay is bad”, then you’re damn right I’m going to judge it. And too many people have been whinging that this isn’t their beautiful, unmoderated ponibooru since day one.
If you want to call the OP a blithering idiot, go ahead. But don’t devolve into language that implicitly insults a group of people over their sexual orientation. That isn’t me being overly protective, that’s me expecting people to behave like adults and not children at recess.
You are aiming WAY off the can. You make it sound as if people were actively trying to take over the site, instead of trying to be able to speak without being judged because of the content of the message.
I hear ya man.
I’m just tired of the endless stream of know-it-alls and “anti-establishment” folk. Everyone thinks they know better and have such great ideas of how things work; shocker, they do not.
:/ I’m sorry this is upsetting you so much.
Blissful ignorance of not knowing who’s being dealt with.
True. On this site, instead of “deal with it”, it’s “petulant and pedantic little asswipe”, right?
Sounds like a goose hunt, but ok then, I guess I’ll find my many post of infamy on my own.
Secondly, that second part of the comment tells me you clearly don’t understand the point others are trying to make.
If I could find them (the ones that are sites and not people talking to me directly, that is) I’m sure so can you.
@Goldenpwny
I wouldn’t bother, this is, mostly, the ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH crowd; the people that would like to see this devolve into PB style moderation; ie. none at all, a free for all where no one is respected, spam and attacks run rampant and anyone expecting a minimum of decency or adult behavior is told to “deal with it”.
