I love your Rainbow Dash!!! She looks cool as hell!! I think Aj is my second fav.
 
Fr tho it makes me upset how often I see people complaining whenever people make characters darker skinned like, why does there need to be a reason, darker-skinned people in real life exist and don’t need a justification so why can’t it be like that in fiction. I never see people asking why a character is made white. It’s only when they’re not.

i like twi’s hair

my favorite part is that fluttershy is still yellow lmao

Hi! I’m the artist who created this piece a year ago and I’ve seen the IMMENSE amount of negativity around this sketch. First off, what is “forced diversity”??? That was NOT my intention what so ever, these were just my headcanons that I thought suited them. Second off, why is everyone complaining about them “ALL BEING BLACK!!??!!?!”? Um. There’s only 4 black people in the pictures calm down. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with that in the first place. It’s a little racist if you ask me. Though I respect other people’s headcanons I do not respect anyone that hates someone else’s art because it’s not sexy, it’s not their headcanon, or that they aren’t all white. I accept actual constructive criticism on art style, ofcourse. Take care.

@Background Pony #D49D  
again, rule 0, stop trying with the insults and trolling, or continue and have the mods be involved.

@Background Pony #D49D  
Rule 0 dude, cut it out.

… Well I think its cute :I
 
I mean, they don’t all match my headcanons, but the art is nice.

The… artistic choices could be better. Like the faces. Those could be improved on!
 
It’s really difficult to actually give criticism on this without pointing out the obvious and I’m not starting that discussion.

@LightningBolt  
Well, if a comment breaks the rules you have every right to remove it, like usual.  
Nevertheless we thank you for the advice. We still try to keep things civil because we know that image comments aren’t the right place for this sort of arguments.

idc if u draw them not white but why do they all have to have that LOIS GRIFFIN NOSE LMAO

@Zharkaer  
Yeah, this is what I was trying to say, mainly…

@Background Pony #0DBF  
I believe it has something to do with the fact that image comments are not suitable for discussion of this manner.

@Background Pony #0DBF  
Clearly you don’t know me at all.
 
Now if you paid more attention to my words, you’d see I was being more cautious than anything, I have seen conversations with this topic get ugly fast here, and while they don’t always, I feel they are more suited for a forum thread, if anything.

@LightningBolt  
Why is this going to “lead to trouble”? Everyone was just saying what they believe in a respectful manner, that’s one thing I hate about this site, you people are afraid of diversity of opinions, it seems that only comments you allow is the ones like “oh yeah so sexy fap fap fap” (which is most of my comments btw xD) I hate this disdain for discusion the moderators have, just let them argue for fucks sake, and maybe someone will learn something.

@Kathara_Khan  
Let’s not get too deep about this here, please, it’s just going to lead to trouble as no one ever knows when to stop.

@Background Pony #B34F  

Well, that’s certainly not true of the entire fandom, and probably not for the majority, but it’s true for a large enough subset of the fandom to be really bloody obvious.
 
@Kathara_Khan  
At the risk of being seen as stirring drama, every time I’ve seen the phrase “forced diversity” it’s meant “making someone non-Caucasian that I envision as Caucasian”. I’ve even seen someone say a POC humanization of Sapphire Shores was “forced diversity”.
 
@Background Pony #2891  
To be honest, I don’t think there’s any sort of ethnic divisions in EqG at all, minority or otherwise.

@Background Pony #1BC6  
…if ponies can’t be of many races, wouldn’t that count as forced uniformity? Actually maybe you’re right. Equestria Girls already identified the mane 6 as white–like, REALLY white, despite them being multicolored.  
Tragic innit? There’s a school full of color, but none of them actually belong to a minority group–with a little exception here and there.
 
So let’s make it clear so everyone gets it: Mane 6, and by proxy most other popular ponies are white and or anime. Gotcha. And they’re white not because you want them to be, but because they’re culturally white and casting them as white seem to make the most sense.  
Just like Zecora being black makes sense, Buffalos being native americans makes sense, and saddle arabian horses being middle eastern makes sense.
 
Okay. Am I getting warm?

@Background Pony #1BC6  
And what is that difference, pray tell? And what the hell even is “forced diversity”?  
I see that phrase thrown around as justification for hating on non-white humanizations,  
but can’t for the life of me figure out what it’s actually supposed to be, other than  
“there’s not enough white people here for my taste”…

@Background Pony #B34F  
It has been proven wrong on numerous images before and by several people… but don’t let that stop you in your quest to paint people as bigots.
 
People don’t dislike non-white, they dislike forced diversity. There is a difference.

@Background Pony #0DBF  
My guess? Diversity. Nobody likes it. The only thing that is unanimously more disliked than diversity is the hijab. Look it up. Every hijab post in this booru has at least 30% dislike ratio.
 
X forbid a minority group tries to project themselves and their preferences onto the ponies…I mean sure, you may not agree but to go out of your way to dislike? Couldn’t just ignore?
 
It’s another thing to dislike a badly made art, but to dislike just because it doesn’t sit well with yer headcanon is…opinionated, to say it nicely.
 
Anyway, the only acceptable humanization in this fandom is either ambigously caucasian, anthro, anime or any combination of the three. Bonus point for exposed tits and ass.  
Prove me wrong.

@TheMunicipality  
We asked for a bait? A low quality bait? This one is just insulting.

Dangit, fandom! This is exactly what you’ve been asking for this WHOLE TIME, yet you still complain. Typical. SO VERY TYPICAL.
