Description
Some of my weird speculative ponies Ive drawn recently, with notes on biology and culture. I was hoping to include some post-its Ive drawn as well, but it appears Ive lost the sketchbook I left them inside. :(
That she does. I noticed that one of the things to avoid making them look like rabbits is to give them the shorter, sharper ears like in the show.
I might start using that, actually; I’ve been looking to do some experimentation with pony anatomy.
Also, this Rarity has a very boopable snootle.

I suspect the mods do take this sort of thing into some consideration. I mean, they’re as human as any of us. And they know very well the unpleasantness of having to deal with users throwing tantrums. A few users every so often is easy to handle, but a swarm of several dozen all at once might tax the (completely volunteer) moderation team to an uncomfortable degree. And considering the +100k registered users (compared to the ~40 admins/mods/assistants), even a small fraction of users could add up to a lot.

Yeah, most would probably just accept it. But there are always a few loud ones who oppose change. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Eh, probably. But downvotes cause drama too apparently, so I dunno. I think people could get used to it.
I don’t have an account and don’t vote at all though so maybe it’s easy for me to say.
And when has anyone cared about that beyond mocking it?
I imagine removing that system would cause an unimaginably large amount of drama on this site.
Sure, people put way too much stock in them as is.

If that’s the case, then why not do away with downvotes altogether and encourage people to report spam/trolling/shitposting uploads more strongly? Otherwise I think upvotes/downvotes read more like a like/dislike function… that’s what I always thought they were supposed to be honestly.
I can say this is genius. It looks like experiment 626….i mean it in a good way.
The species seem to escape the “Equus Ferus” genre without leaving its ungulate character.(still a Perissodactyla,and I demand “Sapiens” in its name ahaha)
The point being the intention behind downvoting was primarily to mark trolling and shitposts. Obviously we fucked up when combining the “this is trolling” and “this is good” functions into one single integer.
But hey, it’s not like I haven’t been bitching about this constantly since before the site was even public.
I do somewhat agree with others in this thread, a bit of the show’s artistic flair should be thrown back into this if one were to draw these designs for more casual applications. Might help it get away from the uncanny valley, as well as make them look a little more equine again rather than like rabbits. But in any case, I really like this.
No, just like there’s nothing about using English for comments and tags or other things we apparently wrongfully assumed to be self-evident.
Is there anything in the site policy that says downvotes are only for objectively bad things?
It may be a losing battle but I’ll fight it to the bitter end.
but who actually uses downvotes that way here?
if people started doing that then like half of the sites downvotes would be gone.
rule #0
just because people don’t like what you like, doesn’t mean you have to insult them
