For a period of roughly 20 minutes today, /mlp/, /mlpol/, Fimfiction, and Derpibooru were all down, along with many other sites.
With the discrimination we as a community have faced, I am partially convinced that this was no ordinary Internet outage, but rather a coordinated attack on our community, though I am uncertain.
There are those who misunderstand being a brony as being a pedophile and/or a Nazi, but things take an entirely different turn when these feelings are acted upon or policies are made.
8ch was wiped out of existence, YouTube has stopped monetizing MLP videos, and Derpibooru is making numerous policy changes to contravene the freedom of speech we once enjoyed. These actions have convinced me that the Internet is discriminating against us.
All lives can’t matter if brony lives aren’t included in them. What can we do about this discrimination and how can we protect ourselves from extinction?
And no, attacking back will do us no good. We would only earn the reputation others place on us and other sites we’re not involved with would probably suffer as well. We must think of a peaceful, nonviolent solution.
