So…why is any of this a talking point. Why can’t muslimshy just exist as muslim shy like azntwi or blackathlete dash or all the other variations of race and culture or whatever?

@Thumbsup  
I care about it, and I think making light of topics usually hidden where we can’t face it is a great way to both get a laugh and provoke thoughts.

I think some people just don’t like drawing Fluttershy’s hair.

“no one gives a shit about womens’ right debates”.
 
Nice attitude you got there.

^You’d be surprised at how many people do care.

WHO. FUCKING. CARES.
 
I could not give two tin shits if Fluttershy is in a hijab or not. I do not care is Twilight is black or not. I give no shits if Pinkie is fat or not.
 
NO ONE. FUCKING CARES. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

And all that was in a pic on the next page… wow do I feel stupid now.

I never understood why people group make distinction of groups between Christians and not Muslims, even when some groups are so far apart from each other it isn’t funny.
 
Closer here, maybe the hijab think is a connection done to the shyness and shielding Fluttershy does, and perhaps a subconscious need to protect her?
 
The hijab exists not as an oppression tool, but rather as a tool to protext women against the lewd gaze of men and the impiety of the world. You might disagree with that, but that’s the true origin and usage of the hijab. Connecting this with Fluttershy follows from her in-canon attitude and reserveness.
 
Or so I think.
