Okay, take a picture of the Mane6. Desaturate in your photo program. Which one has the darkest skin?

There you go.

For people who claim love and tolerance, this fandom sure is racist.

I didn't even need to look at the comments to know what they'd be about. To think, we can't ever have images depicting different ethnicity without people making blatant ignorant statements on something as trivial as the color of someone's fucking skin. Pathetic, and disheartening -_-'

The reasoning behind the "racist comments" kind of makes sense to me. The ones that are actually offensive I think are either troll bate, or off color (no pun intended) jokes. Think about it, every pony has similar appearances. Yes this is a standard animation model, but if the ponies weren't one race with really only hair/color/eyes different, then why did Zecora scare them? The episode was about accepting different cultures and appearance, and was based off one that exists, albeit aboriginal African culture

I think it's actually ignorant to write off people's concerns about Brownish Sparkle as being racist.

If there were maybe one or two images depicting human!Twilight as being (for lack of a better word) 'ethnic,' and if each girl was depicted as being 'ethnic' equally often, then there wouldn't be an issue.

But Twilight is significantly and consistently depicted as being of a different skin tone in humanized fanart, while the other five are invariably caucasian (with varying degrees of tan). There wouldn't really be anything wrong with that if there were any indication that she is a member of a different 'race' (such as such a distinction may exist in Equestria) from the other mane ponies in the series, but this is not the case.

Such a consistency across the board (in spite of there being no official evidence to support Twilight's 'otherness') gives rise to the concern that people associate Twilight's personality and qualities with a certain race. And that, whether negative or positive, is stereotyping.

I'm going to use an example here, but only to clarify my point. What are Twilight's most significant qualities in the show? She's nerdy, she's hard-working, and she's kind of an outsider. Now if a bunch of fanartists seem to think that those qualities simply scream "Indian person," that would unarguably constitute stereotyping.

Again, it doesn't matter what qualities people perceive in Twilight and what race people perceive human!Twilight to be. The point is that there is a statistically significant consistency and it definitely raises questions.

@Posey

maybe we should just pretend nobody prefers certain skin tones over others.

Hey guys! Nobody is racist and everybody loves everybody yaaaaaay

Yeah. Not what Posey was saying at all, stupid anon above me. They were clearly saying "Race is a loaded topic, quit posting stupid shit".

Shouldn't you petulant, clueless little pseudo-fascist fuckwads be starting shitty threads on the Escapist forums instead of trolling Ponibooru?

My point was that race SHOULD be talked about rather than ignored.

Maybe you should think twice before insulting someone who's just trying to solve problems as opposed to ignoring them, you politically correct granola faggot.

Personally I always saw her as Asian, just from the way she acts and talks. Reminds me of one of my Japanese friends I suppose.

I also see Rarity as Caucasian, Rainbow dash as Hispanic AppleJack as Caucasian and Fluttershy as Mideastern or Indian.

The manface in this picture should be of bigger concern than her race.
