So many OC ponies lately. I think there should be OC rating next to questionable and explicit :). |

| elementofchaos7 #388293 11 months ago |
Oooor you could go to content preferences and add "oc" to "tags to filter out". |
| HumanaeVitae #388309 11 months ago |
oc's are okay, as long as they arn't shipping with the main character or Mary Sues, random oc shipping would be okay I guess. |
| Anonymous #388315 11 months ago |
I find it amusing, but it depends on the OC for me. |
| Mastahopo #388319 11 months ago |
OC rules:
Thou shall not be in any kind of Shipping with the cartoon characters (does apply for a friendly meeting?) and... em, thats all i can say |
| WesternBirds #388329 11 months ago |
^ the relationships should be anecdotal at best I think. Also you forgot thou shalt not try to make yourself greater than or equal in power to celestia/luna. There's a few more but that's one that'll be sure to cause rage. |

That's my reaction to Nyx. |
| Jackarunda #388340 11 months ago |
^ Really? My reaction to Nyx is a pretty incoherent FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU- |
| Bananagher-Links #388358 11 months ago |
the point of this are the tons of lame OCs being done lately,
I couldn't mind to see a Banagher pony anyway... |
| Molestia #388359 11 months ago |
Unless it's an OC with a veiny, throbbing, twitching, blood-engorged cock and a deranged look in his eyes. |
| MagicMarker #388376 11 months ago |
I think OCs are fine as long as someone actually takes the time to try drawing them instead of using the creator. Oh and the pairing thing. Last thing we need is another Skywind. :3c |
| Anonymous #388450 11 months ago |
I say OC ponys are a delicate matter, some are good, some are bad, and a few were made in 6 seconds in ms paint. |
| Anonymous #388452 11 months ago |
OC's are shit and the people who "draw" them are mostly cancer.
At least that's the experience gathered all throughout the internet over teh years. |
| Anonymous #388455 11 months ago |
Oh, and did i mention furfags yet?
they're being attracted by OC's like flies with horse apples |
| Muffinoffun #388476 11 months ago |
OC's are fine until people start shipping their blatant self-insert Alicorn Mary-Sue with actual characters in their creepy fanfics as a means to cope with being a virgin or some other nonsense.
It also attracts furries and lord knows we don't want that. |
| MagicMarker #388489 11 months ago |
>Furries
>Fans of a Show where horses talk and live like people Awwww. You guys are so cute~ =3c <3333 |

| JackOfAllTrades #388499 11 months ago |
^ A.) How dare you. I'm a furry. That's offensive. B.) This also applies to any ponified character [Anime Characters in particular], cept sometimes there isn't any fail in the ponified person. |
| Jackarunda #388511 11 months ago |
There's no reason to hate furries.
Especially if you already accept the twisted, kinky whatnot that goes on here in the FiM fandom. |
| Anonymous #388516 11 months ago |
Goodbye Lyra! Goodbye Octavia! Goodbye Dinky! Goodbye Carrot Top! Goodbye Berry! Goodbye Vinyl! Goodbye all you background ponies with purely fanon personalities!(Ignoring the fact that they are being added into season two, that's still OC background after all. |

"Anthropomorphism is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to non-human animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts, such as spirits or deities."
Though last I checked, not all furies were into bipedal athros No comment for or against furries. |

I have yet to meet anyone over the age of 20 who reacts like some of you people do to furries or anthropomorphic art in general. |

Congratulations on becoming a special snowflake amongst the MLP elite. Your blazer and signed cup are at the front desk. =3c And good job on actually reading the fics instead of reading ABOUT them! Takes a lot of guts to read a fic without prior knowledge of the plot or characters! Like diving into a book in the library on a whim! Hurrah good sir! Hurrah! |

| cyberblade507 #388651 11 months ago |
Remember when this thread was about immediate prejudice against OCs of any sort in a surprisingly similar manner to racism? Good times... Good-
Wait, no, not good times. The other thing. ...Yeah, I know it's not really anything like actual racism, but it's just as thoughtless. |

I only hate on furries because I don't want bronies to become like furries, which is to say become internet lepers. Anyways, OC's. |
| cyberblade507 #388688 11 months ago |
@388653 Beats me. Honestly, I don't really care one way or the other about OCs, but the irrational, vitriolic hate just rubs me the wrong way when dealing with a fanbase that constantly preaches "love and tolerance."
Not to mention, if you don't want to see OCs, at least on this site, then you can change your filter preferences to remove things tagged "oc" which takes care of most of them. |
| Anonymous #388709 11 months ago |
cyberblade507@688: "Love and tolerance" was a specific response to trolling from /b/tards. Are we being trolled by /b/tards right now? No? Then let the fan rage fly!
For example, both your mothers are whores, you fucking Nyx fantard. |
| cyberblade507 #388738 11 months ago |
@388709 ...It's times like these that remind me that my indifference to so many things that internet-goers hate is largely considered archaic at best and equivalent to a heinous and personal insult at worst.
Also, if "love and tolerance" is directed specifically at people on /b/ then why does it crop up practically everywhere the ponies do? |
| MagicMarker #388755 11 months ago |
@Muffin
INTEWNET WEPEWS? D'AWWWW YOU THINK YOU'WE AN INTEWNET EXPEWT HOW PWECIOUS~!!!! =3c Btw, since your definition of furries is people obsessed with anthromorphic creatures, bronies are by association a form of furry. Thank you, now gtfo my interwebs until you've learned your lesson young man. =3c |
| MagicMarker #388767 11 months ago |
Also, if you haven't noticed even furries are kind of denouncing the term 'bronies' as a joke. Going around trying to spread shit about them isn't helping our image much. =3c |
| Jiranis #388768 11 months ago |
Bad OC's with whackjob colors I dont like.
Good OC's like pizza pony or say the season ponies posted a while back, those are great. |
| Anonymous #388791 11 months ago |
cyberblade507@738: Because it's part of the founding myth of the fandom. It's a meme among bronies, and like all memes it's been stripped of its meaning, now acting only as a form of group identification. Using the phrase "love and tolerance" means you're a fan. Actually practicing love and tolerance means you're a chump.
(What can I say? Group dynamics are weird. And the group that slept with your mom last night was especially dynamic.) |
| CaptainChomp #388814 11 months ago |
OC pairings don't bug me. Though I don't actively engage in them myself, I don't mind pairing someone's character with a pony. What bugs me more when it comes to OCs is when they have some overly complex traumatic past, like some kinda Cyborg Devil Pirate Nazi Zombie Ninja Jesus figure.
I'm not the kinda guy to tell people how to make their OCs, but personally I feel it's better to lay off the angst and keep them simple and adorable. |
| cyberblade507 #388848 11 months ago |
@388791 I guess I'm just one of those weird people who likes to treat others respectably, do my best to behave like a reasonable person, and not toss words around without actually bothering to even pretend to believe in them.
Also, I don't believe that people need to resort to insults, cursing, or tired old implications involving one's mother that date back to Shakespeare at least (yes, Shakespeare made a sexual "your mom" joke at one point, they're not anything new or edgy by any stretch of the imagination) to get their point across. I like to reason with people and, if necessary, cite sources that disprove their assertions. But then, maybe that's why I'm an astronomy major and not a psychology or sociology major. People just baffle me with their choices sometimes. |
| Emo-kingbeat #388856 11 months ago |
I'm with cyberblade507.
I'm also neutral towards ocs. I don't really care for them, but no real hate. Although I'm still afraid to show my red, mustache wearing, kung fu Pegasus to anyone. |

What CaptainChomp said right there at the end. Less is more when you're creating a character sometimes and it's especially true here. You don't need every power ever or to have a deep complicated background, if your character is just fun and engaging it makes it far more fun to write for trust me. |

My OC 10 commandments in no particular order:
1. Thou shalt not ship your OC with any major characters. Ever. 2. Thou shalt not have an OC who is the best friend of a major character at the beginning of a story. 3. Thou shalt not be part of a major character's immediate family(parent, sibling, child, etc). Cousins and further are ok. Adopted family is a grey zone. 4. Thou shalt not be as powerful or more powerful than Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare Moon, and thou shalt not have as much magic potential as Twilight, though having more experience is fine. 5. Thou shalt not wangst. 6. Thou shalt not be grimdark, unless thine OC is in a fanfic that is specifically grimdark. 7. If thine OC be a villain, thou shalt not godmode. See rule 4, though being more powerful than Twilight might be okay, within reason. 8. If thine OC is a major character in your fanfic, thou shalt not have major canon characters become OOC when interacting with your OC. 9. Thou shalt not make an alicorn OC. Ever. 10. Thou shalt be original and creative. This is 11. Thou shalt not be too obsessed with thine creation. By this I mean, Thou shalt not spend too much money on commissions, thou shalt not take haters seriously, etc. 12. Thou shalt have a drawing of thine OC, by you or by someone else, or at least write a good description. Character creators are not acceptable. |
