She's a sun goddess.. Princess.. Pony.
What'd you expect her skin to look like, even if it's symbolic? |

| Fuzzy_Logic #496668 10 months ago |
still pretty sure these are not cartoonlion
also celestia shouldn't be black simply because it doesn't match her hair at all, and arguably her voice. |

Hey Celestibitch? She can also use magic. Flying is the least of your worries. |

Black people don't have a set way for their voices to sound. I've seen/heard black girls have high pitched voices (like Pinkie Pie levels of high-pitched) and then have voices go all the way to singers like Nina Simone. Stop being so close-minded. |

I'm not racest, but I cant picture a humanized celestia being black o.O' Rarity on the other hoof... most definatly! Rarity does have the hair for it and dat plot. |
| Fex #497449 10 months ago |
Maybe she has to be a bit less darker in my eyes it doesn't fit so well. Maybe inbetween white and black as she is now.
but allas that is my opinion |

I don't mind Celly being black, but it's clashing something fierce with her hair style. |
| Anonymous #497829 10 months ago |
I can see Twilight (depending on how it's pulled off) as a halfrican, and maybe Celly as one, nothing against black people, but my headcanon only views Zecora and Sapphire Shores as true black ponies. |

Getting an Egyptian sun-deity vibe here, so that works. Might have retained Pegacorn!Celestia's (dark purple) eyes myself; eyebrows seem jarring. Are we all loving and tolerating the shit out of the "I'm not racist but" comments yet?
Also my headcanon states that Celestia == Discord, and the whole "no wings or magic" thing isn't helping. |

Celestia doesn't make sense as black for a number of reasons.
One, giving her dark skin like the above COMPLETELY clashes with her hair. Two, Celestia has a white coat, to a white coat to black skin makes no sense and goes againt the palette. Three, Celestia light, the rising sun, brightness, thus white. I could understand a light tab but black? I mean come one. Her voice, I'm sorry but I think you would have a hard time finding an africain american with a voice like Celestia's Again I will bring this up, the clash. Dark skin looks horrible with Celestia's hair and Celestia is supposed to represent beauty, calm, and grace. Beauty, calm, and grace does not discibe the picture above. |

So...Celestia doesn't make any sense as being black thanks to a bunch of arbitrary color decisions and stereotypes. Good to know! (Racist fuck.) |
| Anonymous #539842 9 months ago |
Sorry not racist, just dislike people turning character black when they were not. I mean what could justify her being black?
Nothing, I could understand a tan, because of the sun, but black. Explain the logic in that. I mean all facts point to her being lighter skinned. |

Why is it that any comment that starts with the notion/phrase "I'm not racist, but" is somehow always a racist thing to say? What "facts?" No, not trying to be hostile, I'm gonna try and rein that in for a bit, now I'm curious. What facts? Let's take a look at Celestia: Large horse with white coat, magic mane, horn, and wings. Where does that say that re-imagining her as a black woman or a woman with dark skin is somehow completely impossible or unreasonable? |
| Anonymous #541217 9 months ago |
It is niether impossible or unreasonable, yet is unbelievable and unrealistic.
By how Celestia acts, by her voice, and her pallet. Like I say really dark skin does not go with her hair at all. Nor the image she shows. Celestia doesn't act or talk like any afrian american woman I have ever met.\ Have you met a afrian american woman that is anything like Celestia? Calm Beauty Grace. The above picture doesn't match any of that. |

Her color palette isn't really the issue here since Celestia doesn't have yellow in her mane in the show. Also, the coat color has little to do with anything. How she acts isn't anything you can talk about either since there's the whole Trollestia and Molestia memes out there and for the sake of comedy, Bronies and Pegasisters (came across that one, it's great) will do anything. Shit, take a look at this picture: >>57402. Calm? Beauty? Grace? All that shit's out the window. What about this one? >>21031 Dark skin, but there's a very calm, matronly look to her. This is obviously not meant to be a comedy piece, and go more in line with Celestia's actual show personality, not to mention it gets her hair colors right. How's that fetch you? And let's see...talking like an African American woman...that you've met/heard...does Wanda Sykes talk anything like Oprah Winfrey? Or Michelle Obama? Let me tell you a story about myself. When I did tech support for customers in the New England area, people told me I sounded Canadian. Well hell, these people are in Jersey, New York, and Maine. Surely they know what that sounds like! I'm Mexican. 100% Mexican. (With some *very* distant Moorish/North African ancestry, if you dig back far enough) I live in South Texas, always have, born and raised in a town that's more than 98% Mexican, with grandparents that can't speak English, and Spanish was my first language when I was little (not anymore, thanks to Sesame Street and other such programs.) But people thought I sounded Canadian... Hrm. Maybe it's because you can't judge or identify what an entire nationwide ethnic group based on voice alone? So the calm/beauty/grace/image thing is out the window because the artist wasn't out to depict normal Celestia. The "doesn't talk like (X) group of people" thing is out...Hair and color palette thing is weak, too. I mean, what is rainbow Dash supposed to be? She's blue. How about Applejack? She's orange. That's *almost* a human color... Seems to me like you're just arguing from your own narrow perceptions on what things should be. |
| Anonymous #543734 9 months ago |
I have commented a couple of times
Personally I feel if your going to do skin color have it be the same shade as the coat. A darker coat equals a darker skin and lighter coat would be a lighter skin. For example, Applejack has a ligher coat but still pretty dark. Would translate to be a nice tanned yet light skin. Twilight would be darker skinned, some had treated her as asian which I can see and agree with. That is my way of looking at it though it doesn't always work. As for example a black coat does not mean a black skin nor a pure white coat equalling a pure white skin, so some sort of balance needs to be found. Yet I am sorry to say Celestia is light skinned. With her pallet and hair. With her symbolism, style, and what she is meant to be. Her voice and mannerisms. I can't see her as anything else. Well to be honest... I think the picture suck whether black or white as the Celestia in the picture doesn't have the regal, calm face and look. The beauty Celestia is suppossed to have. Yet at least the one who edited this had the right idea as he could tell Celestia looked off. |

...You're an idiot. I wanted to keep all "moral high ground" and the like, but I'm fully convinced you're probably 14 and this shit is all flying over your head anyway. You're copy-pasting from other posts on the other whitewashed picture, now. Not even just your own. Your typing style isn't the same and for that matter, the other post you cannibalized doesn't even completely agree with you. And there you go again, spouting crap off like it's a fact, and you've somehow managed to say things that are even more racist than before. Are you even paying attention to the implications of what you're saying? Her style, mannerisms, and symbolism is tied in to Celestia automatically having light skin when somebody is supposed to interpret her as a human? As in people with dark skin don't have style, her calm mannerisms and can't represent the same things she does? Is that where you're going with this? Your argument for her mannerisms falls apart because that's not what this picture was trying to do, yet you persist in arguing it. Your argument for her voice falls apart because what you sound like isn't tied into your appearance in any possible way, yet you persist in arguing it. Just own up to it. You don't like this picture because you don't like it when people draw Celestia with dark skin. Be honest about it. Don't go trying to say that it's wrong because of some arbitrary reason you've concocted. |
