Let's talk · 1:24pm Jul 19th, 2020
It's been a good long while since I've logged onto this site. I haven't paroozed around much, but I don't care right now. I'm going to be serious for a minute. The site, and fandom as a whole, has a huge nazi and pedophile issue that needs to be addressed and better actions need to be taken. Sure we have outed out pedophiles in the past (toonkritic, performance major, etc.) but more and more are popping up like crazy (Andy Stein recently, formally known as MandoPony). And the nazi issue, fortunately Knighty has been working on fixing that. "BUT MUH FREE SPEECH" you say. STFU. Hate speech has no place here or in this fandom. Just a week ago, I made a video discussing pedophilia and nazis in the fandom, and one week later, another pedophile is being exposed and fimficiton is taking better measures on nazi stuff here.
If you want to watch the video where i discuss these issues more thoroughly, I have it right here:
We have to do better, simply put.
Irrelevant segway: I don't know if I'll be returning to fimfiction, I don't have much of a drive to write pony stories if I'm being honest. There are just other avenues I've been venturing where I feel my pony/EQG creativity is flourishing better (music and drawing).
But back to the topic, I applaud knighty for taking better measures to combat hate speech and other BS that plagues the site. Honestly, seeing Aryanne coming up more frequently on here, twitter, derpibooru and other places is driving me up a wall.
I want to close on a few important points here: fuck nazis, fuck the KKK, fuck hate speech, fuck pedophiles and their platform, Black Lives Matter, and trans rights are human rights. Don't like what I believe in? The unfollow button only takes one click. THANK YOU!!
Well said.
