no, you are correct in saying if it were not for Lucas the star wars fandom would not exist. That’s pretty reasonable to hold as true. Do you think that the authors intent is important when trying to understand their work?

If it wasn’t for Lucas, Would the Star Wars fandom exist? Again, just because she started the show doesn’t mean her word is law. If that was the case, than the Harry Potter books would be a mess.

Just because she started something, doesn’t mean that she understood it the best. Look at Star Wars for the best example of that.

“comes from how simple Lauren was able to make them”
The same Lauren that jumped ship when they wouldn’t let her have her own way. I wouldn’t use her as your inspiration.
@xbi
This is exactly why I made this. I believe the original charm of these characters comes from how simple Lauren was able to make them, while simultaneously still allowing them to be abstractions of horses. As for the reductio ad absurdum argument that, “It’s a cartoon unicorn. Her eyeballs also take up half of her head. Why not change that as well?” I will answer by giving the analogy that when a child draws a stick figure their parent doesn’t ask them why it’s not wearing any clothes. It’s for you to see a person who’s wearing clothes onto that abstract representation of a person. The art I edited was the equivalent of taking a stick figure and giving them clothes, tattoos, freckles, and full face. It’s defeats the purpose of making a stick figure and doesn’t make it anymore human.
I think the editor wanted to make the picture closer to his view of MLP original style. So all picture parts they can see are not matching to show style were removed.

And you ignored my point to try to justify your own. I’m done with this.

thats not what I’m asking. I want to know, if it not had been for laruen, would this entire website still have existed

is it not true that you and I would be speaking right now if not for her?

Ahh you mean to spoil a superior artists work. I get it.
I like ponies, not cats.
You are correct.
So honest question here. You dislike ponies being floofy?

Maybe because removing the distinct art art style of the original pic is weird?
Whoa! I’m surprised it took anyone this long to figure that out.

Adorable fluffy ponies don’t exi-
How is taking away fluff make it “normal?”
Good idea.
