Thanks for mentioning that. Memories about the movement came back when you mentioned the big corporations and the celebrities with their stagnant relevancy. #BlackLivesMatter originally came as a cause to demand justice about the black guy killed and the police abuse, but after only a few days, it collapsed into the mediatic circus we remember now. For an example, Microsoft supposedly had a donation to the cause, $90 M dollars to be exact; After almost a year since that, there’s no world impact or a better treatment for the black people living in U.S.A. All of that was more like an spectacle than a legitim intention to contribute the cause. I’m not really sure if the police official implicated in the crime paid his debt with the society, but even if that’s the case, people didn’t stoped, making chaos in the streets with people who have nothing to see with the injustice.
Do we have to remember all those people in the protests hadn’t a masks, right? Is like the Sars COV 2 pandemic were inexistent in those moments. By the way, you mentioned the statues of people who not so many remember, but I remember something funny about it; They vandalized a statue of Miguel De Servantes Saavedra, an important spanish autor, who was also exploited by Africans. I say is fun because the movement was suposed to paint the black persons like the victims, not like the oppresors. Probably one of the biggest ironies of the previous year I’ve ever witness. Not to mention the black people who demanded the white people to bow, that was ridiculous too, and how you said, how it’ll help to ask something like that? Otherwise, if it were something useful, then go on and do it.
But well, coming back to the Derpibooru issue, I have something to refresh the memory of the people.
Here. If you paid attention to the text in the image, then the Administration clearly had intentions to change the site since the #BlackLivesMatter movement begun. Change to the policies of the site? For what? Oh, sure, censorship. Probably the OC Aryanne had the worst time to came out, because she was one of the causes to start the censorship wave that still on in Derpibooru. People is free to pretend they’re blind, but the proofs are in the table. Derpibooru made a big mistake, and they’re not looking for redemption.
