“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules” is very useful if you are trying to break an organization that has a rigid structure, but as much as Saul Alinsky has some good points and his ‘13 rules for radicals’ work well against some hierarchical organizations or bureaucracies with rigid structures, they don’t work with agile or volunteer organizations.
You’ve created a model of how all of this is supposed to work, and are arguing that we, as an organization, must follow the rules of the model you’ve created. But your model does not reflect reality.
For example, our decision to delete images promoting the “Nordic Resistance Movement” in Sweden does not ‘force’ us to also delete all images promoting the “Democrat Farm Labor” party in America, or images that praise the current POTUS, due to some over-riding expectation of ‘fairness to all sides’. We can delete NRM images without having to ever delete any other image, simply because we choose to not host NRM images.
And deleting an image because we found it broke Rule #0 doesn’t mean we then ‘have to’ put disclaimers on top of all the fetish art on the site declaring that it is ‘wrong’.
If that for you means that we have an ideological bias, fair enough.
You’re not a political movement, you’re a moderator for what was supposed to be a community art archive site, try not to go off-topic on wild and unrelated conspiracy theories about Saul Alinksy. By that same token, admitting to using personal biases rather than clear, objective guidelines for moderation means that this isn’t a community art archive site: it’s Teaspoon’s Personal Pony Picture Collection Site (But Not For Groups He Doesn’t Like) and nothing more. Thank you for your admission, as the staff can now drop all the pretense and effort of pretending to be something that you’re not. I wish you had saved us all the trouble of the last month and done it earlier, but late is better than never.
You’ve made my decision to drop my Patreon support much easier to justify to myself, and I appreciate that you clarified the situation for us users.
He said absolutely nothing in response to this.
Now, here he is saying this.

@Seiken
You haven’t answered anyone’s claims of bias, aside from Derpy’s answer that you
are doing things out of an ideological bias.
I said that you are welcome to your opinion, which I believe is extreme to such a degree that it is ridiculous.
Gaslighting!
