What does and doesn’t serve as a point in down-voting seems to be subjective.

I downvoted because there are a few issues within the artwork that i could see. specifically the hands and the cutie mark, which looks more like the screen gems logo

I think that is a rule. Reddit has a similar rule too. But unfortunately, that doesn’t really stop people.

Are there rules about downvoting images for reasons having zero point nothing percent to do with the actual artwork? I do recall there being some, and it seems like a fairly well-drawn image with 93 downvotes might warrant some kind of official review of such, especially given the well-established political leanings of some of the commenters here.

there is a fine line between tokenism and diversity
 
tokenism: the result of diversity without inclusion
 
I thought it’d be great to leave a couple of articles concerning tokenism for any of you who are interested. not a response to the artist or their work, but rather its use here.

Obviously there’s grains of truth in what you’re saying. I’m not denying the overall tone of the picture is combative and childish. I don’t like the picture myself for those reasons. I just think some of the comments towards it went kind of overboard.
 
And yes, she’s a teenager. But teenagers still aren’t fully developed physically, mentally, or emotionally compared to adults. They sometimes make a lot of dumb mistakes due to not having enough mental or emotional development, proper foresight, or enough experience that an older person would.
 
I’m not even just talking about this person. I’m talking about teens in general. I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t do stupid shit that I regretted when I was that age. That being said, I do think it’s important that she learns from her mistakes. She still has a lot to learn and so do a lot of people her age.
 
I’m not saying that she should be “treated like a snowflake.” Don’t put words in my mouth. I critiqued some of her other art on here before and even left a comment earlier agreeing with the statement that this picture was “the art equivalent of trying to shout someone down for disagreeing.”
 
And I also agreed with Skoon’s comment about, “Comment sections aren’t just hug-boxes and while the message isn’t bad, the presentation is clearly meant to start a fight.”

This was drawn by a black girl. Any racism you wanna accuse it of is just you being misinformed and wanting to make noise.
 
 
@Skoon  
Right, so young LGBT person wants to celebrate something that makes them happy and expressing it by art, and what do they get? Their elders of their very own community berating them for expressing pride in their identity and called an embarrassment.
 
One thing you’re right about: You should be embarrassed of your community if THIS is how the elders behave. Bet your younger self would be oh so proud.

I’m oooold school LGBT (before some of you were even born) and in particular, bisexual. I do not feel represented by things like this, I feel embarrassed and annoyed by it. The overall tone is needlessly combative and childish. I dislike that our community has become this.
Background Pony #99F0
@Alexlayer  
this isn’t representation it’s forced. and poorly so. this is so off-model it’s uncanny and shows how short-sited you and others are. it shows, in my opinion, the racist views some people hold, that they feel the need to change the race or colors of characters to make them “relatable” as if skin color will stop you from empathizing with someone, to stop you from seeing them as human. same with sexuality. Sunset isn’t great because shes gay bi or trans, she’s great because of her personality, and her personality isn’t only what she fucks. Having art that celbrates your own sexuality is fine. using other people’s work as a mouthpiece for your own ideology isn’t.

you also gotta take who uploaded this image into consideration. this definitely was upped just to get a reaction outta anyone.
 
I uploaded the picture because I’m always up for supporting LGBT representation and because I thought the pic was cute. I would have much rather this got all sort of “That’s cute.”, “Lovely” or “Nice style” sort of comments rather than this madness that happened because apparently some people can’t not get worked up about something like this. So do me a favor and keep your assumed and projected accusations to yourself.

methinks Katrina really fucked up big time in this regard; she should’ve just said “Sunset’s sexuality can be whatever you want it to be.” instead, she chose to add fuel to the fire (that is the drama that drives the EqG fandom) by saying something she cannot prove true and claiming it to be so despite the contrary – essentially, she stated a falsehood.
 
THIS. FUCKING THIS. I was more upset for katrina’s attitude than aything else. Im ok with sunset being bi, but this was just childish… not mention there is fact people is not keeping in mind. she is not sunset’s creator, I think she was not even in the crew in the first movie, how can she make that statement?

Not only that, the statement is incorrect.
I, in fact, can do something about it: for example - point out (as several other users already did) that Sunset
Shimmer’s alleged bisexuality is never shown, discussed or referenced in any way in the Equestria Girls show itself.

shouldn’t it be up to interpretation? don’t take meaningless tweets from show staff as absolute truth.
 
 
P.S. The art also lacks “mouthpiece” tag. Described as “Using a canon character to further an opinion, agenda, or message (whether positive or negative) they would not normally have” it fits the image to a t.
yeah, it’s a mouthpiece. the artist is simply expressing their views via a cartoon character.

I this, this.
Background Pony #6712
@mjangelvortex  
I do not think that people should have to ignore their reaction to an image just because it is made by someone under the age of 18. It’s great that they are making art and posting it online, but they have to be just as prepared for a reaction to the art as anyone else.
MrOwen

I’ve been told, I have to be constructive in criticizing.  
OK then.
 
  1. I’m going to start from the part that the image is essentially a “flamebait”. Urban dictionary offers several definitions for the term, but the one I consider the best is the following:
     
    Flame baiting is setting up a situation for you to get flamed usually on a forum. You don’t actually flame, but make  
    it hard to respond without flaming. Its setting people up on the internet so they look like the bad guy. Generally  
    Looked down upon.

     
    Personally, I would also add that flamebaiting can be unintentional. However, it doesn’t make it less of a flamebait.
     
  2. The first reason I consider it a flamebait is, obviously the text.
     
    It is worded in a way that easily can (and judging by the amount of downvotes was) perceived as obnoxious.
     
    Not only that, the statement is incorrect.  
    I, in fact, can do something about it: for example - point out (as several other users already did) that Sunset  
    Shimmer’s alleged bisexuality is never shown, discussed or referenced in any way in the Equestria Girls show itself.
     
    Obnoxious and incorrect statement is making it pretty hard to respond without flaming or sarcasm.
     
  3. Then there is the composition.  
    Radical redesign of a character, uncharacteristic behavior, adding artist’s own social views combined with an obnoxious sounding statement creates a generally repulsive impression, prompting a more aggressive response. I.e. “flame”
     
    These are my reasons for calling the image “terrible” earlier.
     
    P.S. The art also lacks “mouthpiece” tag. Described as “Using a canon character to further an opinion, agenda, or message (whether positive or negative) they would not normally have” it fits the image to a t.
