Because they, just like derpi, want to keep up the appearances, not the actual essence of the thing.
a looooong catalogue to work through
Didn't stop them from going back on "no furries" rule, innit.
P.S. Actually, pretty sure even derpi had a "older images will be dealt with as they are reported" policy on rule changes, so this is worse.

Typically goes by another name.

Sometimes shows up at pony conventions, which is the context for the image displaying the sick status, to inform those that attended.

But the short of it is that such a Twitter post from a pony fandom individual was allowed two months prior, even when the post itself had no direct relation to pony or art, just a random Twitter post. This image is hosted on their platform despite the quote from the moderator, Sapphie, on the controversy saying:

“If unrelated twitter drama of G4 staff was uploaded today, it would be against the rules and would be deleted (assuming someone on mod team sees it).
Only reason we don't delete old pics is frankly because it would be a looooong catalogue to work through.
You're more than free to discuss these types of things on the forums, though (so long as you don't dox anyone in the process or anything stupid like that).”

So it begs the question of why they care about it now when they did allow for images of literally who’s Twitter posts two months prior.

Who? I had to google the name and I'm still not sure who this person is. I can't find anything about this individual having any connection to the show.

I don’t particularly like drama and saying an alternative to derpi is compromised without more proof. It appears a horrible time to begin enforcement of the rule set.
Let's check:
* a furry booru is run by the same administration but they refuse to actually use it
* pet autists
* promotion based on friendship/benefits
* arbitrary rule enforcement in favor of furries
* arbitrary GOING BACK ON RULES in favor of furries
Yes, it's compromised.
it is in relation to the MLP community
It's not about ponies, it's about one specific creator going full stockholm-syndrome (ft. "I totally should side with people who are shitty to me") woke retard.
two months ago a Twitter post from Fiaura Tanks about getting sick with covid
Which is even less relevant and should have been deleted by them immediately.
but clearly the not pony thing didn't matter to them consistently

It's damage control because they're applying rules based on activity rather than actual violations.

They claim it isn’t pony related enough. The suggestion is that meta posts won’t be pruned from the past uploads, but going forward there will be no more meta posts from any pony creator, even from the show.

I find it strange to start enforcement now as they have a Twitter post from Lauren Faust from less than a week ago still hosted as well as two months ago a Twitter post from Fiaura Tanks about getting sick with covid, proving that they only gave a shit to fully enforce around this controversy. As to why that is the case, it is up to speculation, but clearly the not pony thing didn't matter to them consistently. I don’t know if I can say it is fully damage control or a shock to their system to begin enforcing their rule.

“Do not upload images without a clear relation to MLP (all generations, not just FiM), or its community.”
I would argue it is in relation to the MLP community, but since it isn’t art, they do have the right on their own site to interpret their rule against this post.

We are keeping ours up though. Seems relevant to fandom to me.
“Keep uploaded images relevant to My Little Pony and its fandom”

I know nothing about ponybooru so I dunno why they would do such a thing as to delete this. Also my grammar might be bad since I'm not speaking english so sory for a broad reply.

Why is it damage control? Are ponybooru mods a cabal of faggots or something?

Yeah, it's ATA.
These two posts are an entirely accurate and full response.

>trans partner
"He who buggers a fire, burns his penis" applies to women just as much as it does to men. Anyone retarded enough to partner with a psychopath or not drop anyone who reveals themselves to be one WILL end up in deep shitter no matter what.
>stop murdering gays
It's not murder, it's pest control.

>those that claim to better hold it
Russia has a great proverb extension about it.
The original proverb goes "the man said it — the man did it". The extension is "If the man didn't do it, then the man said it again."
It means that people who don't do things wave their tongues around about how "suitable" they are for doing it.

The real irony about that pic is there are only a few people who would rather we forget those ugly times back in the antebellum south. People who get terribly offended when someone shows them what smug douchebags slave owners can be, and try to silence and cover it up. (Hint: they're not anti racists…)

"Win?" They'll always find something to proclaim is a #crisis and #worsthingever #omg. And they don't even have to run out of "right-wing Nazi rayciss extremist huh-WITE nationalist Proud Boys" to start denouncing and doxxing each other in the endless game of I'm-more-woke-than-you they've all been playing compulsively ever since Obama took office. These people are mentally ill. I'm not saying that as dismissive rhetoric, I mean it as literal self-evident truth. They're fucked in the head. Their behavior is sometimes entertaining, but it stems from bad wires in their heads that are very, very real.

Apple plantation is still on their minds? Damn. That was a great piece to be the defining pony art of a generation.

I also love that backstabbing is used as a positive to defend yourself. All that kindness is repaid in denouncement and it is our backwards world a good thing. And the irony of it all, friendship dies in the hands of those that claim to better hold it, closing everyone off save their closest followers that also seek to backstab to gain favor.

"famous guy", "Italy", and "after the drawing thing" leads me to believe it's AnonTheAnon. From what I can gather some twitterniggers got upset Imalou was following him.

If you're not out throwing molotovs at the cops with BLM, you are literally a one-man KKK rally. If you aren't fondling children and stuffing dollar bills in six-year-old boys' tighty whiteys at Drag Queen Story Time then you are literally worse than literal Hitler.

It's called a "purity spiral" and it is a phenomenon best watched from outside. Over the Internet. With popcorn.

And this will still not be enough to appease whoever was outraged. Regardless, I can’t even find out who they have unpersoned this time.

Of course they have a trans partner. I am so tired of this shit. The whole idea of shutting people out because we disagree with them… of even celebrating that. I don't care if you're racist/homophobic. You're wrong, whatever. I'll deal with it. Stop murdering gays. You're not murdering gays? Wow, problem solved! Let's be friends.
