The only winning move is to not play.
Or by another name: Just go about your business folks and ignore them.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t believe. You wouldn’t believe some of the personal comments and harassment I have gotten from people… from every possible side of a given issue. I’m really passed the point of being surprised.

It's a cartoon show!
Most people who make grandiose claims about Derpibooru have no idea how the site works and the origins of the site/userbase in the first place.
As @The Smiling Pony said, part of the reason is the association with ponibooru. Not to mention people expect the site to play by their rules where they’re from. I personally that they haven’t taken the time to actually use the site and therefore draw conclusions from the usual suspects of idiots who open their mouths on the same type of pictures.

Well that makes sense. If someone comes from a website that all it takes to permaban someone you disagree with is hitting the report button enough and they come on here expecting it to be the same then well it’s obvious what’s going to happen.

To a lot of these places, an “argument” means “unanimous agreement, pile upon anyone with dissenting views and drown them in finger wags.”

Well since the forum “last post” counter derped due to a spam comment deletion and this thing got “bumped”…
@cb5
You would be completely unsurprised at how many people abuse the report queue here to try and get people they disagree with banned or images deleted. Even after slapping a big warning on the report page, we still regularly get people reporting others for the most trivial disagreements or harmless comments, including “he said Rarity is worst pony”, or images because “I disagree with this”, “this is disgusting!”, “makes rainbow dash look bad, delete plz”.
And then there are the ones that drop 10 reports on the same thing because somehow that will make us care more.
Best ones of course are the reports from people that only manage to unintentionally call attention to them being dicks. Y’all know that anon that keeps yelling at anti-twilicorn people and demanding the leave the fandom? He’d report so many people for practically nothing.
The report queue is the reason Twilight Snapple is my avatar.

As much as I hate to say it you should take a page from deviantart. What they do is that people with a history of falsely flagging things no longer are able to use the report function…. at all.
If someone abuses the report function constantly why not just take away their ability to report stuff? They’ll scream and yell and throw a fit, but at least they won’t be clogging up the ticket system anymore.

I find this extremely ironic, because /mlp/ (and, by extension, MLPchan) sees Derpibooru as an overly PC hugbox.

We’re considered a hugbox because we don’t appreciate people calling eachother autistic faglords and the like, and actually have a bit of respect for artists as people rather than image fountains.
I had some more words typed, but it was all just a really pedantic expansion of the above, which is fine as it is, really. Also I abuse commas a lot.

4chan types tend to think that every site should function by 4chan rules. Even when it’s not conducive to the atmosphere the site wants.
And they act like the libtard highschool kid whenever reminded of this: treat it as a civil liberties issue and complain.

Yes… Libtard. You know those liberals, always fighting to be able to use racial and homophobic slurs. No, actually, it’s more akin to Tea Partier small government, anti-establishment types.
No wait! Actually, it’s more like it’s like 4chan and not your narrow and ill conceived political straw men at all.

Well I was thinking of a particular trope in highschool dramas where there is an activist student who is often left wing and makes everything out to be some kind of civil rights issue.

How so?
4chan often complains that being banned is a violation of speech (from what I’ve seen).
Of course this is wrong because websites are more akin to private property where the owner can ban you if you’re doing something they don’t like (or should, I realize it’s not that clear cut).
And out of the two parties, which would be more likely to try and extend influence into private property.
And especially which of the two is congruent with the example I gave earlier?
You’re just mad that I used libtard.

No, you are extending extraneous political affiliations where they do not belong as it is not a matter of political leaning but of a specific mindset that unites the general userbase of a website. This is why I excused both political wings in my post and instead said it was a 4chan thing.
You are the one trying to shoe-horn your hate of a political movement over something that has nothing to do with it.
