What balls are you even tripping? I came in here to post “PONIES AREN’T BABY HORSES!” with a picture of Calvin’s class shouting at him from that one comic where he thinks bats are bugs, but then there was this barky anon being a rag about it; I’m not even one of the downvotes, the concept is funny even if the execution is flawed. Who exactly is “going out of their way to be a whiny POS” again? Go put some ice on that inflamed thing, sheesh; P♠M clearly has a headache already.
 
Also, bitchy anons are, objectively, the lowest form of life on the internet, and their opinions are inherently worthless.

@Takashi.0  
Oh, him. Fortunately he’s already on my block list so I don’t see his comments. It helps preserve my sanity a bit.

Oh how I do enjoy these.

@Takashi.0  
Oh, almost forgot

No, no, they’re right, generating image macros does not qualify as making art. Biting art, maybe.
 
Oh, also, thanks for clarifying that you’re a coward with an account and not just an idiot who can’t make one, that’s a useful and important distinction.

@Blissey1  
Umm, thay ARE artist.

@TheAntiCat  
Sorry, I don’t argue with people named TheAntiCat. Clearly that invalidates anything you had to say.
 
PS. I have an account - I just don’t post with it.

@Background Pony #9C3C  
no amount of text can make you an artist. people who make text are called writers or authors, not artist.

@Background Pony #9C3C  
Get a freakin’ account and then argue.

When you get a visit from Joseph Ducreux you shake his hand, exchange a quick volley of pleasantries, and move on.

@Prof.NightJack  
How much text? What quality of text?
 
Would a poem pasted over an existing image deserve an artist tag? What about an entire original fanfic (not that I would ever condone such an abominable format)? What about a really shitty greentext story? Where do we draw the line between image macro and unconventional art?
 
Fortunately I don’t have to worry about such things as I have no control over the rules anyway, but it still seems to set a bad precedent.

@Background Pony #9C3C  
I’m not saying that, you are putting word in my mouth.  
I’m saying taking some image you didn’t make and just adding a little text doesn’t make you an artist.  
It was simply that, just adding text to an already made image doesn’t make you an artist.

@Prof.NightJack  
I’m just saying that going around and telling people “no, you aren’t skilled enough to call yourself an artist” is kind of shitty. I couldn’t care less whether the mods happen to agree with you. Of all the abuses of the tagging system which occur on this site, excessive artist tags are probably the single least problematic.
 
Also, shit like >>501309 gets an artist tag. If you’re going to have silly rules, at least enforce them consistently.

Image macro text alone doesn’t justify an artist tag.

@Background Pony #9C3C  
Dude, if even the mods think just adding text to an image doesn’t me someone deserves to tag themselves as the artist then I’m not doing anything wrong.

@Prof.NightJack  
I’m glad we have you here to decide what is and isn’t art. Have you considered going and telling all those silly modern artists that they’re wrong, because you should really get on that…

It should be “cardiac muscles”. Cardiovascular literally means heart and blood vessels.

@mathprofbrony  
I like that interpretation. It does seem to me horses in the show are a separate race and not just tall or mature ponies.

I was wondering what the CMC think horses are, exactly. Mythical creatures like giants, maybe? “Hearts like giants” actually sounds pretty badass.

OK, so horses are not a separate species, but I know as a fact that in the real world ponies are distinguished from horses by height, not age.

Oh goody you put text on an image you didn’t make, how are you an artist?

Tag your maymays, goofus.
