Time to reset the Spike Gay counter. I was hoping this thread would make a full week since the last post so one of us could then comment “it’s been a week since someone posted here and there haven’t been any complaints about gay Spike.”

That BP should start drawing (or putting captions on AI) Spike saying he’s not gay so we could then come to this thread and complain about low-quality edits where Spike proclaims his straightness. Would also be a good use for the super straight pride flag.

@JP
Clearly we need some people to complain about straight Spike to balance it out. :P
He will always be a malewife in my eyes. Whether that be a malewife to a girl or a guy idc.

I was gonna delete this comment but I figured it was better for others to see instead.

It feels like half of this thread is BPs complaining about gay Spike images. I’m starting to think it’s a low-key spambot attack.

That latest BP post really, really feels like an AI-generated drivel.

@Background Pony #3CF3
There’s lots of stuff I don’t like seeing too, but isn’t it easier to just try to avoid them when possible?

As for deleting images, usually it’s for one of the main rules, or the artist doesn’t want it on the site.

It’s terrible! sick of it overwhelming spike gay! but Even posts that are more better and safe than this one are deleted. In some cases, the reason for deleting a post is not understandable, or cannot be found reason for deleting a post It doesn’t even show up on Tag changes! As time goes by and each day passes, it gets worse!

What I was saying is, LGBT as a group isn’t a fetish. Being gay, bi or Lesbian isn’t a fetish.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
Not really all that common, trust me bro (I was there) but yes incest sure was, and still is. But also everyone used Big Mac as a walking dildo and even then he was hardly treated as a character.

@LightningBolt
Even in early FiM, it felt like the four named stallions were drawn to be gay with each other (or horny for his sister) rather than divide the mares of Ponyville into harems.

anything is a fetish, including floor tiles and ohio.
you’d be mistaken at saying that something isn’t a fetish.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
People love to pretend that the series was always like 99% female, but even in the beginning there was a decent many background stallions. Just that the main focus was all female ponies so they had an intrinsic bias.

Look, I’ve been fans of series with like 1-3 female characters max and they also got 85% of fan ‘art’, often paired with the other 1-3 females. FiM having math to ‘back it up’ is about as flimsy as it gets. At least it lead to variety even back in the beginning.

@Slingring
I mean, LGBT isn’t a fetish….

@Slingring
Nah, Beth has it right. If someone draws my favorite characters in a ship I don’t care for I just move on, but some people get awfully upset when artists celebrate pride with beloved characters.

@Soobel
Given the oversupply of background mares, almost certainly yes. Lesbianism wasn’t their first choice for most of them, but it sure beats being untouched.

Amount of those flags etc make me wonter that straights are minoroty in pony society :)

@Slingring
Edit: OK well flags can be a lazy way to impose traits on a character.

Show dont tell and all.

Those flags oft mean a lot more than sex to people though.

@Crimson “Valent” Azure
That sorta stuff is everywhere on devianart and it makes it hard to search for regular art of specific characters to find to here.

Okay here’s one we can all agree on. Next Gen “OCs” that are literally just reskins of canon characters. Like RD x Soarin’s son would have white fur and rainbow colored hair styled like his mother. I used these two as an example as it’s a ship I hate and it’s easy enough to filter out, all except those half assed recolor OCs.

P. sure that’s just unmanaged neurodivergence, my friend, not some philosophical commitment to radical individuality.

I’ve seen content from a entirely different fandom where some twitter artist just sees something cute, slaps flags on it, and doesn’t understand any of the implications behind what those flags mean regarding the character.

using a example of mine, someone slapped transgender and bisexual flags on a DogDay x CatNap ship, had they took the time to remotely look into the games lore, they’d realize that they were children turned toys. Transgenderism is about converting genders, one could make the connection that Theo (CatNap) was also forced to change genders as apart of the BBI initiative against his will, which is a concerning connection.

Anyway, there’s no need to express what you do in bed publicly. Everyone’s got their fetishes and yet we see people trying to proudly flaunt that they’re a vore fetishist or a furry fetishist on their vehicles which is ridiculous. Hyper-Individualism is a disease that affects society.

@Beth
It is erroneous to say that none or all is ‘forced’ as there is absolutely images with characters just placed on top of pride flag images, along with images with said flags integrated into images proper.

There is, unfortunately, no way to separate the two kinds according to the tags that already exist, and it gives the impression that a lot of it is lazily made and with little to no creativity or actual artistry.

@Slingring
Pride content isn’t forced, they’re expressing themselves and you don’t like it.

poorly generated AI content, poochie/glimmer, forced pride flag content, ragebait, EQG, SFM EQG, Humanized ponies, shitty memes on front-page that are unrelated to pony, random screencaps that haven’t been deleted by the janitors for some reason, deviant art tier artwork that ends up worse than stuff with the “9000 hours in MS paint” tag., forced memes about trixie being transgender.

God forbid men have hobbies that include kissing other men.

@Starless
Thanks for the information, I didn’t know there was this tag. That this concept existed, in fact

@d1ckbitch
@Toastypk
Yeah babycon implies foalcon so it’s hidden regardless (for the most part. Apparently a few babycon images weren’t tagged properly.).
