It took me long enough to see this pic! While yes this is a bit of smack talking towards canon X oc relationships, the drawing itself it’s pretty good.
Btw, I don’t really have the money for commisions (Never had it in fact), most of the drawings of my OC are done by myself. Thanks for the cameo tho, lol

I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about, i’ve tried having a decent discussion but 81D9 keeps putting words in my mouth that i didn’t say? i’m not trying to be hostile or whine but when someone calls you a hypocrite and a whiner when i haven’t done either of those things makes no sense, do you see where i’m coming from?
He told me to “think how i would feel” and i tried to explain that i’ve felt it for many years, then i was called a hypocrite because he assumed that because i have money and commissions that those are the reasons im not bothered by things anymore, i didn’t try to be hostile but damn dude i shouldn’t have to spell everything out after simply stating my opinion
and yes i got heated after the 4th response because he said that i came here to whine about how i was being “misrepresented” but i don’t see how he came to that conclusion since as stated it was just my opinion and it was unrelated to what was being portrayed in the image and more directed towards the other comments and sharing my thoughts.

This shit is exactly what 81D9 was trying to emphasize. You pretend to have the moral high ground, but deep down you’re just as whiny and hostile as the rest of them. Your fate is deserved, as fates often are.
@Background Pony #81D9
Lol ok edgelord because joining a discussion about canonxoc and sharing my thoughts on why a lot of people are hated is whining, did you forget your medication again?
On a real note tho, you haven’t made sense the whole discussion and you keep repeating things i didn’t even say so uhhhh… yeah
@Background Pony #81D9
i think you’re confused pal? i am not upset over this drawing? i was never referring to my feelings towards this drawing i was talking about how i felt about other things many years ago when i had started out and was new to ponies
@Background Pony #81D9
i uhh… didn’t say that? it used to bother me before i grew as a person and realized that i have no say over other people’s feelings about a character so getting upset was pointless.
@Background Pony #81D9
But that’s the thing, I’ve loved dash since the early years of the show back when i didn’t even have a job, i watched OCs and other canon chars plow dash to their hearts content, sure it used to bother me a whole bunch but i knew there was no point in getting angry (even if i let my emotions get the better of me at times) nobody knows what the future holds, where we would end up after these lives or how our waifus would feel about us, my commissions are there to support the people that drew them and to bring joy to the people who “Might” enjoy them. All I’m saying is getting so defensive over a waifu is something that can be avoided if you get to know someone and see that they aren’t trying to shove their art in your face or take away your waifu and that some people are just trying to live their lives,
I wrote the other comment to talk about the possible reasons that some canonxoc pairings are hated, because there is a difference between the type of hate i receive and the type of hate that the copperpie ship receives.
@Skittle_Cuddler
It’s the content of the art with your oc and her combined with the fucking amount of it. People get up in arms about canon characters because a lot of them are very mutually loved (though honestly I do think Dash is a bit bland and can’t see what all the fuss about her is.) put yourself in the shoes of a lot of people. Not all of us have enough disposable income to skyrocket our characters to relative popularity through sheer spending power. Think about what you would feel if you looked at a tag every day to just see more porn of some other guy’s oc fucking the pony that you love.
A lot of self insert x canon ships seem to bring negative reactions because of how the person behind the ship treats their online persona as well as how they treat other people for the majority, especially those who share the same waifu, its possible to live your own life, support people, get self insert stuff, and still be a positive member of the community.
also paying mind to push back from other community members for having a self insert is where a lot of people seem to mess up, getting in heated arguments because someone said something rude about your self insert is an easy way to make yourself hated.
Also treating an oc as strictly a self insert is sorta lame, for example, i like to get random pic of my oc with other ocs for gifts and other fun content like that and it gives the people who hate self inserts at least something that doesn’t scream “look at me everyone im fucking my waifu so u cant” i’ve met a few fantastic people in the community who are in the same boat as me, but i’ve also received tons of messages from people over multiple different social media platforms telling me that i should hurt myself and that i’m not allowed to love who i want to love because they want to love them aswell.
