With the recent spate of shitheads drawing people's OCs as Nazis going around, I want to share my experiences and what you as an individual need to be prepared to deal with for taking a stand against hate.

These pieces were all created thanks to my anti-Nazi stance.
For the almighty crime of thinking that fascism doesn't really belong in the My Little Pony community, my character Ezekiel has been drawn as a sexual predator and committing assault and rape.

This is what happens when you say "brony nazis bad" in this community.
Recently other people who are less accustomed to this have been targeted as well by brony fascists.

Artists like xppp1n hops around right-wing pony servers asking other neo-nazis how best to create more hate art to attack those who speak out.

He's not very creative.
The goal of these images is to wear down a person's mental health and to induce stress. And more often than not it works. They target smaller accounts and farm the art out to pony sites in order to get publicity.

Recently they've been having trouble keeping the images up.
I want to make it extremely clear that if you take even the slightest stance against white supremacy, transphobia, or bigotry then you will be targeted.

They've doxxed several people in an attempt to silence and intimidate anti-fascist pony fans.
Most pony creators and "leaders" in the fandom won't talk about this, either out of fear or apathy. Thanks to the "apolitical" nature of the community, these people feel welcome to attack people.

And the truth is, many artists are actually on their side.
So the question is, what can be done? Is there even anything that CAN be done?

Well believe it or not, we're already winning. These people have been exposed and their tactics are public knowledge. All they can do is create hate art because they don't have an argument.
These are not the actions of someone who feels like they have a winning point.

Its the actions of someone scared that they fandom they thought they knew is different. Its a place where they can't just use dogwhistles and intimidate people. Its a fandom tired of their SHIT.
They want so desperately to go back to a time when everyone was ignorant and let them freely spread their propaganda in community spaces. But that free ride is over now. Too many people have woken up to their game. We've already made a change in how we deal with things.
So it might feel hopeless. You might be bogged down with stress and feel like its all pointless.

But in reality every time you decided to stand up, every time you decided not to support one of these chucklefucks, you made a MASSIVE impact.

To put it simply...you GAVE a shit.
We win when these people feel like they no longer have a home in the My Little Pony community. That being here and being toxic is too much of a hassle.

Something as simple as choosing not to take part in an art pack that allows bigots can make a WORLD of difference.
Here's something you can do right now that can help.

These screencaps are from one of the biggest right-wing extremist MLP servers. I'd like your help in reporting it.

This server is where most of the recent organizing for the nazi OC artwork has happened. I've already created a full offline archive of the server that I'll be sharing shortly and documented notable users. I've been given these caps by an artist who won't go named.
The person in question has been talking to me through DMs. They've done quite a bit of bigoted art but have had a recent change of heart after seeing what goes on in the server. I'm helping them to try to escape that circle. There's always a way out, always.

This is an update to yesterday's thread on the recent spate of pony fans being harassed and doxxed by nazi bronies, most of it originating from a discord server based around the nazi pony oc Aryanne.

Thanks to that thread and reports on the server, everyone in it was banned.
Because of the sheer size and longevity of the server, a lot of people lost their accounts who didn't actually deserve it. People who had just looked in to see what the fuss was about, or who had joined a long time ago and forgot they were in it.

Discord went full scorched earth
I want to personally apologize to everyone who lost their account for no other reason than simply being in the server. And if you need to get your account back I would advise visiting this link: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/reque…

Do they realize that this is a solid argument in favor of getting colored hair?
They are literally microns away from getting the point and yet they still miss it so hard they end up destroying their own arguments completely.

"oh noo my hair makes dipshit anti-SJWs not want to interact with me whatever shall I do 😔😔😔"
This also applies to art as well. Creating art with trans positive, anti-fascist, or even benign "don't be a dick" messaging will cause the nazis in your audience to flee like roaches after you flip on a lightswitch. No further action is necessary.

Lets talk about how derpibooru.org decided to deal with the nazi and white supremacist My Little Pony content on its site.

To briefly recap: The site attempted to ban nazis from the site last year, resulting in a massive site-wide shitstorm.

While on the surface, the decision to simply remove all nazi content from the site may seem like a simple one, there was one issue:

They had waited so long to act on the issue that many users and even mods were pro-nazi. This resulted in them panicking and reversing the decision Image
But it didn't end there! The flip-flopped AGAIN and decided "okay we maybe need to ban SOME nazis". The admin who had tried to take a pro-nazi stance quit, and a site-wide shakeup commenced.

A compromise was reached. They decided to remove SOME of the nazi stuff. ImageImage

Many pony fans are feeling hurt, confused and upset by the news that an apparent nazi brony committed a mass shooting. There's an urge to get defensive, to state "this isn't who we are!"

But that attitude doesn't actually address the problem or do anything to solve it.
The truth is, the top sites in this community are guilty of allowing this sort of ideology to fester in our community for ages.

From EQD taking a laid-back attitude to political opinion posts, to Derpibooru reversing its decision to get rid of nazi content. This is US.
While trying to satisfy "both sides" we only allow violent extremists to infiltrate and spread fascism throughout our community.

Let me be clear: this is not the fault of your average pony fan. This issue starts at the TOP. Site admins and moderators I'm talking to YOU.

Yeah, that's part of how it works. It sorta sounds like a reasonable argument. You don't want to stereotype poor Rainbow Dash don't you? Not all tomboys are gay!

Not this one, and not this one, and oop sorry not this one either, and DEFINITELY not that one...

You get the idea?
Once you start letting people dictate the correct way to be LGBT you're already playing a rigged game. Who the fuck cares if its "too obvious"? That in and of itself is a way of conforming...making sure you're a "good" gay that isn't "too stereotypical".
I have zero patience these days for straight people trying to dictate what the right, accepted way to be LGBT is. Fuck entirely off with that noise. Let people be a stereotype. As long as they're happy what does it matter to you?

This sort of thinking is so pervasive because taken at face-value it sounds vaguely reasonable. The ponies can't be gay because their would be too much backlash from concerned parents.

But the further you dig you realize there's no actual evidence to back that up.
The reasoning also states that "its just not normalized enough".

But...showing these characters in shows like this WOULD normalize it. it makes no sense to say "its not popular" while then ALSO saying you shouldn't attempt to change that.
Soon enough you start realizing that it almost seems like they just don't want any LGBT characters in their cartoons. All the arguments overlap and form this circular logical. And the moment you realize that it all crumbles like paper, revealing standard, plain homophobia.
