Bat pony? Check. Black color scheme? Check. Mercilessly bullied? Check. Dumb human clothes like a hoodie and a fucking FEDORA? Check. The reason a canon character is the way he is today? Check.
This OC is somehow worse than those neon furry OCs you see on awful furry sites.
“Back off!” would have been a stronger dialog choice, since it projects confidence and taking a moral stand, and make him look a little less like he’s letting his rage control him.
I can’t help but feel at least one pony would tell him he got his cutie mark, when while he turns around to see that it’s true, they’d beat HIM up, next.
I can’t speak to other fandoms due to general lack of familiarity with OCs outside this one. At any rate, my OC is pretty plain looking. Tan coat, brown mane, and glasses.

It depends on the person and their experiences, perhaps. For all my years on the internet, I’ve not really developed many reasons to hate anything. :j
It’s just that, nowadays, an “edgy OC” is just a Mary Sue waiting to happen, and one can’t get “edgier” than “black bat pony with a fedora and hoodie who is the reason a canon character became who they are”, it’s a textbook example of a self-insert character, which are generally hated throughout every fandom.

There’s a black bat pony OC with a black fedora and hoodie. I think that’s where most of the dislike comes from. His appearance alone is that of a generic “Edgy OC”.
typical oc honeslty, like a backround pony, how you want it
I’m going to Escalator Land!

To be honest, I’d think MLP OCs are generally better designed than a couple pawfuls of other miscellaneous ones I’ve seen before. ^_^
I think I’m just too out of step with fandom culture to really get what the objections are.

Well, if you say so.
I guess I’m just not coming from the same place as other people in the fandom. I think the image is cute. So, whatever.

@ObliviaTheChangeling
That’s the reason(s)?
Wow. Consider me underwhelmed. People get offended by some silly stuff these days.
True, the image quality is okay. I’ve disliked it because of self-insertion into the series story.
