New Lauren Faust Project. Is about funny super heroes, could be awesome.
Well, you see, from what you posted right now I think im not missing the point, you seem to want to BAN human ponies, sexualised or not, because you think this thread is about ponies only. That is false, this thread is not about ponies as an animal, this thread is about a series which their characters are ponies but could be any other thing, and it would be equally as good, that be humans, dragons or platypus if they wanted. Im not seeing anything bad of posting good and tasteful fanarts of characters OF the series "converted", as most of what is posted in this thread is for good fun.
You have read in my other post that I dont want sexualised ponies nor sexualised human ponies in this thread either, and if really someone wants to put it here its as easy as writting the image as a link with a NSFW or caution sign in it. Look, im with you on that.
But banning NORMAL art about human ponies is just sounding of dictatorship, only because four or five of you really dont like them.
As I said, tolerance in this thread would be the best way to go. We are not here to kill each other because we we have different taste in what we like, but to talk and share fun things about this cartoon series we all here seem to like.

I don't see how human ponies are somehow off topic. Human ponies are all about the characters on the show. It's not a random cowgirl that's being posted, it's human Applejack. Same character, just being artistically explored differently. For me, the biggest draw of human ponies is seeing all the different interpretations of the characters as humans. These interpretations are invariably drawn from the pony ponies on the show. And I think it's the characters of the show that's the core draw of the show for many fans. Not simply because they are ponies. The characters of the show are not suddenly invalidated and turn into some "other" simply in the transition from pony to human.2th said:

Look, just read your post. You are treating the majority of the people in this thread like insanes. The majority of people here likes human ponies tasteful art or just doesnt give a fuck. I will not say that you are the problem here, as all the people are free, but you sound like a fucking dictator. Relax.
And now look, not only we need the DAWWWWWWW thing you actually like, all what Ikael posted in that post was just good clean fun, The DAAAW, the humour image and the human art.
2th - I realize your zeal, and you do have your supporters, but what is more damaging, the human ponies, or the rift caused by those unwilling to accept that human pony posts are accepted here?
Now I understand your reasons,(though I don't know how many more different ways you can express that you feel this thread is for ponies and not human ponies), but when human ponies are expressed, could we just assume that you disapprove instead of you trying to find new ways of sharing that disapproval? We all got along exceedingly well until people started doing dominance plays with their displays of personality. Everyone is getting comfortable and familiar and some are being more open and things get a little more real, or sometimes weird after that. To ask about the barring of questionable things, and oh..I have seen things...that I can't unsee.............some of them, there is no question whether or not they belong here, or whether or not they cross a line. I can understand that. But for things that fall well within the bounds of reason, should you be the lone voice arguing against them still?
And if you have to say yes..i..guess...that's ok too...

I don't get the problem with Human Ponies in general.
It's the borderline rule 34 stuff that's the problem.

Whenever RBD wins no one cares because everyone knows she's a tier horse and the character carried her.Acerac said:

Said before that my problem is mostly with the sexualized human ponies, and that seems to be getting way too frequent. Don't really care for the Human Ponies in any form, but most of them I just skip, and every now and then see some that are good (like the guy who draws them Disney style).

That's odd. Every fighting game tournament I've ever gone to has always had people praising the winner for winning seeing as how their competition uses high tier characters as well. The winners stay consistent though, and that's what Rainbow Dash is, a winner.Rickenslacker said:
Rarity wouldn't gimp herself. Twilight wouldn't gimp herself. Neither would Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy would, but only because she'd not want Applejack to feel bad about losing to everyone, that's just the type of pony she is.
Compliments for the term tier horse though. That's some good stuff right there.

But do you want to send us all to a space station to watch gen3.5 for eternity for posting human ponies, doc?
I dont see to much borderline stuff here (human or non human) but it needs to be common sense, if you think its somewhat borderline what you are posting, just put here a link.
I dont like over sexualised human ponies either (or normal ponies), but the only thing I do is pass the post and read or talk about other things.
CHEEZMO said:
I suppose its about the bare chest Big Mac drawings or semi nude, or big chest human ponies. But i dont see much of them here either, and IIRC the bare chest big mac drawings were only linked by you and not posted as image.
I hope people were not talking about the girls cosplay becuase come on, that are real girls.

Tournaments no doubt run by biased pegasi. AJ wouldn't gimp herself either, nothing wrong with a high tier character. But AJ? She'd be a character specialist. Dash would just play the boring tier game.Acerac said:

I do not understand why this is such a big deal. The ponies were participating in human competitions: if 1/3 of the human population could fly, you bet your ass the dirt humans would have banned wings in a tug-of-war or a footrace. The wings were just a plot device to emphasize the idea that looking for loopholes to win matches really undermines to spirit of the competition, especially amongst friends. As I saw it, RBD's use of wings in that pushup contest was like if AJ had used her knees.

Yeah of course they're biased against dirt ponies, who wouldn't be?Rickenslacker said:
I can sympathize with character specialization. I used Luigi in Melee in tournament play despite his obvious deficiencies. I didn't cry after the match that my opponents only won because they used good characters who weren't easily gimped. I accepted that life sometimes isn't completely fair and it made my victories all the sweeter. Yes I had to try harder in many matchups. No it wasn't fair. But like Applejack SHOULD have done I moved on and worked harder to be able to compensate for my innate weaknesses.

Oh, human ponies. Oops.
Well I think that askpinkamena shouldn't be linked here at all. I personally dislike when it's even mentioned in this thread or any thread on gaf.

Im not going to respond to you anymore. Youve respond to yourself very well alone. And dont come to me saying you were talking only about sexualised human ponies, because:
1. Or you structured the phrase wrong and you wanted to really say "dont put in img tags sexualised art", and im with you on that.
or
2.You really say what you have writen and you dont want human ponies in any form if they are put in img tags.
I have not miss my point with some stupid things you said as "this is only a pony thread".
Ah, also, theres no force to "the rest of us" its only you, even people that dont like human ponies very much dont give a damn, they just pass to other things.

But going back to square one RBD didn't use her abilities to give her a logical advantage in the competition (like the mud chicks), she used them to completely go against the point of a them for the most part. Competing in arm strength? USE WINGS. Seeing how far you can jump? USE WINGS. Competing against the other in grip and pull? USE WINGS. You'd have to call them out after all of that. It's not a competition of anything at that point, just RBD seeing how far she can push the BS.Acerac said:

BTW its just a joke, its totally safe for work and not sexualised at all

I hate human ponies and love ask pinkamena. The key is to be accepting of others, even if what they enjoy doesn't necessarily jive with our favorite parts of the universe. That's the brilliance of the show, there are so many ways it can diverge from its base.Owlowiscious said:
I can totally see why you'd have that opinion. I think the problem lays in the fact that these competitions seemed to have been developed by dirt ponies for dirt ponies; if the rules had considered the superior breeds of ponies when being made then there would be no debate. I can agree that Dash played dirty. I can agree that her actions didn't jive with the spirit of the competition. I can't however agree that she cheated, or given the rules put down, should have lost. She played it smart and came out ahead because of it.Rickenslacker said:
Perhaps we come to an agreement that this whole mess could have been avoided had a better set of competitions been chosen? Granted, seeing as how RBD rarely ever uses her legs for transportation and AJ lacks wings this would have been absurdly difficult, but the horseshoe competition the episode started out with proves that it isn't out of the question.
The expression on Fluttershy's face makes that pic.PBalfredo said:
Yep, RBD's idea of fairness clashes with AJ's idea of fairness? And what is AJ's idea of fairness? Well it's pretty conventional and consistent with what I think of AJ's small town ways. You have to win in a contest made by earth ponies for earth ponies. A contest that AJ and family probably had as a tradition and AJ has probably worked hard to excel at. And when someone who's naturally gifted in a different way that makes what AJ strove so hard for look easy, she got upset. She was wrong, but we can forgive her.
Pegasi ponies appear to live a sink or swim kind of Spartan experience. If you can't take care of yourself, you won't make it very far. The earth pony contest didn't take into account who RBD is or what she is, and she probably treated it with due deference after that. None.

Yeah, essentially MLP has appealed to all kinds, and it's important to open yourself up to accepting some of the different interpretations of the characters and that others enjoy it. Love and tolerate the shit out of you and all. Then again, I'm speaking from the position where I'm not strongly opposed to anything really and like a little bit of a lot of it, at worst being indifferent to something.
On a side but related to all this, I hope that MLP fighting game takes inspiration from the small bit of music in this part if they give themes to certain pony vs pony matches. I found myself humming it after watching the episode for the first time.
Even though Rainbow's a complete cheat, I can agree with that. The whole competition was poorly handled and managed, and that they didn't really have anyone refereeing over it was also a lapse in judgement.Acerac said:

I think I'm just going to settle for the fact that you are an idiot.
1)I don't want sexualized human ponies period.
2)If human ponies must be posted then don't put them in img tags.
3)Posting human ponies with img tags is forcing us to view them. We can scroll over them fast but what has been seen cannot be unseen.
How is any of that not clear?
