Submissions are OPEN!

I don’t understand why people hate anime-styled humanizations. It actually suits them well, as the ponies already have googly anime eyes. And most ponies the same body type already, so it’d feel right for humanized ponies to have same-face syndrome.

I fap, but I like humanized non-R34 ponies more than humanized R34 ponies. (I don’t clop, though.)

1/29/12 - I like pony art and I even think some humanized pony art is pretty good.
But anthro creeps me the hell out.

I hate Muslim Fluttershy.

artist-confessions:

I DESPISE all sad attempts to try and make gijinkas ‘diverse.’ Yes, before you keep on reading, I am technically Muslim. I am non-religious, but you can trace my whole family tree to the Middle East. 

A WOMAN WHO IS NOT IN A MIDDLE-EASTERN COUNTRY AND IS NOT ORTHODOX DOES NOT WEAR THE HEADSCARF. 

If they did, I would wear one, my grandmothers would have to wear one, my sister would wear one, and my mother would have to. But do any of us? NO, BECAUSE WE ARE IN AMERICA

Also, not all Muslim people are tanned. I’m pretty pale. And, again, I don’t wear a headscarf. If you saw me, I’d look like your average dark-haired girl. Yes, many Muslim women DO look like that, but most of them are orthodox and/or living in a Middle Eastern country. 

Please, for the love of God, these people who do this annoy me MORE than people who make all the characters white and skinny. Research Islam if you’re going to make a character Muslim. 

How would you feel if I drew a humanization of a character and made them a big stereotype of who you are? I’ll won’t give examples since there are so many, but think about the stereotypical looks for people from your religion, country, or race. How would you feel if a person, MANY, from a different religion/country/race took that stereotype and with no education of it and no idea of your feelings, went ahead and drew the character as it?

I’m really looking at the MLP fandom - but it’s possible it happens in other fandoms. Many people argue the nationalities of Homestuck characters, too. 

Please, RESEARCH THE RELIGION/COUNTRY/NATIONALITY OF WHATEVER YOU ARE MAKING THE CHARACTER. Please, tell me one Arabic word and pronounce it correctly. Please, tell me one Muslim holiday and the purpose of it. (excluding a Muslim person, of course, or a person who may be familiar with it)

Note - I’m not saying everyone who does Muslim Fluttershy is a cruel heartless bitch. For all I know, the artist could be Muslim, but then again, why would they use such stereotypical looks? Still, I bet many pony artists honestly were not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings.

TL;DR - Not all Muslim women are tan and wear headscarves. Don’t use popular stereotypes, offensive or not and when you are going to make gijinkas, please research whatever nationality or religion you are going to make it.

 I don’t like how fat shaming some bronies are to fat humanizations.
Especially Pinkie.
