I deleted my TikTok where I shared my MLP fanart because the community on there has become so toxic over this. I can’t understand the amount of people that get mad over people’s headcanons of what the Mane 6 would look like as humans in terms of race and ethnicity. It was so fun to see us come together on TikTok to revitalize the fandom through infection AUs, but this negativity is overwhelming to deal with in comments.
It’s a FANTASY WORLD. They’re PONIES. It’s crazy how different parts of the fandom have decided on different “official” races/ethnicities for the characters.
To be clear, this isn’t exclusive to “woke” people or any particular political sphere. I’ve had complaints about drawing Pinkie as Black because “all Amish people are white” (lol) and complaints about not drawing Fluttershy wearing a hijab. NONE OF THIS MATTERS.
As much as everyone complains about the weird skin colors in EG, it seems that’s the only way to draw the humanized characters without getting yelled at. I wish everyone was as positive as they are on this sub :(
