Deviation Actions
In regards to the image of Aryanne I posted, which seems to have gotten the most emotional flack on Twitter, maybe it's because Twitter doesn't allow much room for text and people and I didn't comment my tidbit comments on DA (and Facebook and Derpibooru), and simply reacted without taking a breath and thinking logically and investigating (and finding my tidbit text). Honestly, by mere mathematical logic alone a disclaimer shouldn't be necessary but maybe should've known people would want/need it anyway (though doubtful that'd help).
Copy-pasted again, here's my full disclosed response on it:
Please point out where I supported Nazism. And describe where I praised Aryanne for being one, and follow up with a logic-only based response that the mere existence of drawing said fictional character indicates I am all for Nazism... especially when I explicitly stated to the contrary.
You are asking for her censorship when her character and mere existence as a fictitious scribble of digital colors and lines hurts nothing and nobody. She's become a symbol of free speech and expression.
By the reasoning you've given, all drawings of Queen Chrysalis as not portraying as a villain means supporting the spread of selfish draining of other's love. And all drawings of Rainbow Dash supports laziness.
You're not distinguishing the difference between actual support of an active ideology (which requires a statement to be made directly within relevant context) and what's essentially just this piece of art. Has education degraded so poorly that it instills this belief that mere existence is blind support and obedience to something rather than thinking for oneself?
Contrary, the emotional thinking of this kind is directly responsible to why Nazism was able to rise in the first place.

All human beings are born naturally lazy, selfish, not just wanting to survive, but survive well, and when possible at the expense of others, and therefore evil. It's in our instinctive behavior, including babies. You are just as evil as Hitler himself and equal to a child rapist murderer. That is equality. Either that fact is recognized, or you believe in "those people" as beneath and separate from yourself, which would place you right in the same belief regime of the Nazis... pure, better than others; just picking a different category to fit humans in.
An overwhelming number of Nazis weren't even racist, and almost all Germany had no idea what happened in concentration camps, not until after the war and they were forced to watch films and see them in person. You ask the motivation of individuals involved: "It was my job." "It was my duty." "I was obeying orders." "Feeding my family and paving the way for the future." And in Hitler's eyes, Jews (among others) were evil; he assumed he was doing a sacrificial service for all Mankind.
The wrong that allowed the Nazi actions to thrive however was society cultivated to not even know or understand what evil even was.
If you cannot discern what is evil, why, or why evil deeds are committed, you cannot hope to recognize it when you follow it. And if you believe that mere existence is can be so volatile without substance and erroneously think that raw hate is all there is behind any sense of evil, you have been likewise cultivated as part of the flock itself, and leading humanity to repeat history.

My drawing and posting of Aryanne without supporting Nazism and even denouncing it especially here and now, is evidence I have a keen understanding of real propaganda and problem within, and a mind to logically think for myself and believe others can also still think for themselves, in particular without emotional thinking. And I'm capable of separating the ill intentions behind the Nazi movement and, as I stated, the secular military machine produced with all it's faults and achievements. And though not shown directly, I can distinguish ill action and wrongdoing separately from the individual enacting.
Evil is not a free pass excuse to hate. I'd love to hate stupidity and purposeful ignorance, to hate the inconsiderate, like drivers putting myself and others needlessly in danger for their impatience, but I recognize that too is my own sense of wrongful evil. And evil should be resisted and fought against wherever reason fails. Not only do I denounce Nazism and all it stands for, unlike a majority of modern civilization, I know for certain if I lived in Germany in those times, I'd be in the tiny rare minority that would refuse hailing Hitler, refuse joining the party, and I'd be criticized, if not persecuted, for doing so.
