I am so fucking sick of the goddamn white-washing. You people make me sick to be considered part of this fandom.
The artist did their representation of a human pony. Its THEIR art, not yours. So don't fuck with it you jackass. Can't draw your own? Sucks to be you, fucker. |

lol u jelly? Seriously, grow the fuck up and get that tree out of your ass. So somepony presented their own representation through someone else's. Big fuckin' deal. Didn't claim as their own art, SO YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!!! |

^ actually the fact that someone would re-color an image so a black person is now white means they lose. And the fact that you defend such actions means you lose as well. |

"And the fact that you defend [re-coloring an image so a black person is now white] means you lose as well."
Wrong, sir! Wrong! I do not condone re-coloring for the sake of removing a minority. That isn't what I see comparing this pic to the pic with Black!Celestia. I see someone modifying an already existing image of a person's interpretation to reflect their own, and submitting it separate from the previous version. And the only one who can fully refute that belief is the one who modified it. Feel free to believe otherwise, but I will be happy to correct any errors in your ASSUMPTIONS regarding my beliefs. |

She was also never drawn standing five feet tall, any discrimination there? No, because shes like twice the height of a average pony in the show.
The same goes to skin color — she is pearl fucking white. Black Luna is okay, black Twilight goes, but making Celestia black is just as wrong as making her a midget. |

alright, you wanna know why white celestia? well, simple reason, heads up, here it comes:
IT REPRESENTS LIGHT see? pretty plausible, non? "If anything, it makes sense that a sun God has dark skin tones" huh, that's weird, cuz', y'know, coulda sworn original celestia is white too... wonder how that could be... oh yeah: REPRESENTS LIGHT ...also since when do immortal goddesses undergo such mundane bio-processes as tanning? i mean, that kinda fucks up the whole goddes-thing (perfect beings, symbol of pure, yadda yadda, you know how it goes) oh and: TWILIGHT'S A BOOK NERD where would SHE get her sun? and don't you go "CELESTIA SHINES ON HER, DOOD!" on me |

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 tan 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. As such it is not racest to change the color, it just makes more sense. |

@Dark_Horst
@Anon #533761 @Mugen_Kagemaru Hey! I get to repost and rephrase the same thing I said elsewhere? So...Celestia doesn't make any sense as being black thanks to a bunch of arbitrary color decisions and stereotypes. Good to know! (Racist fucks) Seriously, the artist probablly specifically chose Celestia's humanized skintone on the basis that it's rare to see non-white humanized fanart of *many* fandoms, not just MLP and it's okay to go and erase that under the guise of "fixing" it because of a few misguided personal preferences? This is basically straight out vandalism, and there's no justification that doesn't support an anti-race agenda on some level. (Also, what are we supposed to assume for dark skinned Rainbow-Dash? What skin-color does fucking blue make you? Why is it only important for Celestia simply because she has a white coat? How does being a sun goddess get in the way of natural melanin in your skin? (or is the only way you knuckle-dragging monkey-brained fuck-stupid mouthbreathers can imagine dark skin is through suntannning?) |

The problem is political correntness. People are making character's black that make no sense being so. |
| Anonymous #541017 9 months ago |
@539852
Artistic license and trying to make a statement are "political correctness" now? This is somehow a "problem," now? If I load up "humanized Celestia" into the search, I get a good deal of light skinned interpretations, but I also get quite a bit of diversity. How does Celestia, reimagined as a human, being black or just really dark skinned not make sense, by the way? I wanna know what reason you seem to have. |
| Anonymous #542809 9 months ago |
There's any number of white human Celestia's. Why would anyone feel the need to alter another artist's picture that depicts her differently. Why would anyone be so insecure that they HAVE to change one of the few pictures of her that is different from the others? Methinks someone is insecure... |
| Anonymous #542838 9 months ago |
Actually I haven't touched it myself. Personally if yoru 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 lighter 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. |
| Anonymous #542849 9 months ago |
542809: people have headcanons. if you find a picture which doesn't fit, but can easily be modified to fit, it's not that strange to do so. and if you go that far, it's not that strange to share the result with the class.
(my opinion is that they're ponies, so any choice of racial traits as humans is basically arbitrary - giving the sun goddess a lot of melanin is as good a basis for the decision as any other. people should do what they want.) |

Then why does this never happen in reverse? I've yet to see that. I've never seen somebody edit a picture to change a humanized character from white to another race, then post it to Pooniboru with their comment being that they "fixed" it. That's what this guy did. He saw the dark skin as an inherent flaw, and set out to change that. Not "this is my interpretation" but "my interpretation is *better.*" Same thing happened with another picture (I can't find it at the moment, it was the same artist as this one >>47584 ), and I bet there's others out there. Let's just face it. After all the speeches about love and tolerance, Bronies (Pony fans in general) are people, and among people are a lot of ignorant assholes. The editor and poster of this image is one of them. |
| Anonymous #543052 9 months ago |
I hae commented a couple of times
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. |

@542849
Then why didn't this person draw their own Caucasian Celestia rather than recolor someone else's in a pretty racist looking move? If I disagree with someone's interpretation of a human pony, I move on. There's a lot of white Celestia to enjoy. Why recolor this one instead of enjoying the other art that agrees with this person's views? It doesn't matter if you or I see Celestia as white or black, why was this 'artist' so insecure about ONE person's interpretation, they just to 'fix' it? Fuck, it's Dragon Age's white Isabela mods all over again. And that shit was fucking stupid too. |

I personally prefer to imagine their human versions as white (maybe because I'm from all-white country myself) and sometimes Twi and Fluttershy as Asians for obvious reason, but that doesn't mean I'm racist, I respect black people and I don't see them as worse, it's just a matter of preference like with blondes vs. brunettes. |
| Anonymous #699409 8 months ago |
@692743
It's not a matter of what you prefer to see. Hell, you explained why yourself, you just came from somewhere where you sorta assigned them whatever you were used to, like a mental default. That was never the issue. What *was* the issue is that this DeLameter nitwit was so set in his preference that he felt the need to edit a picture made by somebody else and claimed he "fixed" it. And look at how many people came in to jump at the chance to congratulate that! @644115 & 692687 The Butthurt started with the idiot who couldn't help but edit a picture for his own shitheaded reasons. |

There is so much racism in the community, and what's worse is, no one seems like they care enough about anyone else to understand why something like white-washing a piece of fanart is so offensive. |
