What's with the freaky artwork for G4 ponies?

[melipuffles]

I don't particularly have any problem with rule 34 artwork of anything I like...mainly because a lot of what I've seen has been drawn amazingly and with a lot of skill. 
 Though, I have seen some art that is terrible, low quality, just fetish material, and that I don't like.

Then again, I lurk on various websites I won't mention on here, and have become desensitized to things like that, the only things that I don't want to see online are things involving children, people being abused, real life gore images, or animal abuse. The porn really doesn't get to me anymore, nor do a lot of "gross" things.

Stuff like that always pops up when I do Google searches on any Disney movies. x__X  I consider myself lucky as I've managed to avoid nearly all "adult" artwork of ponies, I've only seen one pic of Pinkie Pie showing off her, errr, parts. :'D I considered that one rather hilarious, but not something I'd like to see again. Personally I don't mind sexualised or even pornographic art in general, even though it's not something I enjoy myself. What I do mind is when pics like that pop up when or where you don't expect or want them to, and are potentially visible to minors.

I must admit I don't really get when someone draws sexualised art of animals - to me, ponies will always be ponies, i.e. animals, even if fantasy animals. But as long as it's about fantasy who am I to judge. I wouldn't call it "sick" or anything, just something I personally cannot understand. (Of course, there are always fetishes etc. some enjoy and others won't get at all, I guess this is no different.) Anthros are a bit different story in my opinion, I find it somehow more relatable if ponies are first given human characteristics before viewn in a sexual or romantic light. But well, in the end I don't really care what everyone is or isn't into, as long as it's kept hidden from anyone who doesn't want to see it (too bad this isn't always the case...), and doesn't involve children, abuse etc. like melipuffles mentioned.

Well This is a common thing with fan base, I've seen... well nothing to really speak of about.. some really twisted sick in the head sexual stuff for MLP, Care bears, Dora The Explorer, ect..

I think more people are drawing ponies in that way because its a sexual fantasy, never the less its still wrong. whether its picture, plush, figures. its still bestiality. AKA People that find animals sexually attractive.

When its just ponies and ponies, Its only as bad as you want to draw it, craft it.. people know their limits. But when it gets more intament just speaking ponies and ponies.. never the less is still debatable. To each his own.

Its man"s free will as to what he or she dose and he and she knows whats good and evil, Right and wrong.. deep down inside of them.

To each his own.

But anyway.. because of this more and more people are holding Hasbro Responsible for MLP perversion.

Now as far as Hasbro Official items, People will only see it as sexual as they want to. such as the slim bodies. probably is because "Faust" didn't much care for the thick horse bodies, and wanted something more elegant and delicate looking.

But I don't see how people can see them as sexual..unless they have a wrong things for horses.

Someone said it doesn't harm anyone, if kids type in my little pony and something gets past the censors it kinda does harm them. kids shouldn't be subjected to it even by accident.

And someone else said art shouldn't be censored, I think again it depends on the viewing audience, [edit for content ~ hathorcat]

I think if people like this stuff then fair dos each to their own imaginations but putting it all out there for anyone to see is reckless. Yes internet security could be a whole lot better but if you didn't provide the images the chances of kids seeing them would be minute. Be a little more selective in where you display it and who can view it maybe. And those selling the stuff on ebay could try putting 'adult content' on their listings. As we all know despite us all being collectors My Little Pony is aimed at kids whether it be the toys or the show.

I'm sorry if my opinion offends anyone.

Oh you don't offend at all! No you are right it is reckless for someone to put sexuall content for children shows / Family shows.


And when I said to each his own I purely meant adults. I was talking Like deviant art where children ain't allowed. But it still comes up on Google search. but at the same time i believe that children should not be in the internet, and if they are they need a parent to monitor their every website, and no search engines.

The net is just not safe.

But I agree whether its kids or adults if its on the internet it can been seen.

Most of the erotic ponyart I've seen has been on places like FurAffinity, which doesn't allow minors (of course, this being the internet it's entirely possible to create an account and lie anyway). It's a valid concern, yes, but unless the artists are actively trying to show this stuff to kids then I don't think they should be penalised because Google might pull it up or a kid might ignore the warnings on adult websites. I just did a couple of image searches on Google and didn't get anything dodgy, even though I don't use safesearch, so I don't think a child is going to trip over someone's stash the moment they search for ponies. I've only found erotic ponies by accident once, and that was on a website that doesn't allow users under 13.

My searches for ponies on ebay have never brought up erotic stuff =/ Are there certain keywords I should be wary of?

One more thing I wanted to add.....

I'll admit I go look up rule 34 on some of my fandoms.    Mainly anime.

But I don't think that everyone who draws the stuff is sick in the head. I mean, some of the animated shows do have adult fanart that is well drawn and appealing.

What I don't like is when they use children characters. As I mentioned earlier, I have seen some stuff with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, etc, and that is something that turns my stomach.
But besides that, I think human sexuality is a complex thing and you can't jump the gun and always label something as 'sick' because it's a little different from the traditional. I think we all have our own little likings that we don't admit openly.

Drawings with the main six and other 'grown up' ponies? It does not bother me. But what I think annoys me about it is my own PERSONAL hang up with the brony fandom. A lot of those who draw it are bronies. I'm not trying to offend any bronies at all. I have my own personal......issues with some of them.

And I am surprised this thread has not been locked. 

[StarlightGaze]

If you see anybody posting porn without nsfw tags/spoilers/cuts, please tell them they need to put a warning on it! Also, I try to highly discourage people from making bold sexual comments on fansites where children can go to. There is a small amount of individuals that have no inhibitions and just embarrass the heck out of other people with the disgusting things they say. Enjoying mature things mean you need to be mature yourself and know when something isn't appropriate.

I've had, at one time, a sizeable collection of rule 34 stuff related to other fandoms I like, both of which are considered to be for kids, or at least kid-friendly. I've even drawn a small amount.

Human sexuality is an entity of incredible magnitude, and I don't think anyone can hope to understand what makes some people like certain things. We don't choose to enjoy the things we do; we see them and say, "Hey, this might be a little out there, but... I kinda like it." I spent a lot of time hating myself for odd tastes, and after a while I got fed up with it and started being utterly fascinated with what turns us on, even if it doesn't float my boat in particular.

I salute both of you.  Just sayin'.

I say as long as they keep their weird fantasies limited to their own minds and fictional works, let them have their fun.  It's only a real problem when they act upon them in reality.  (I hope that didn't come off as too general/shallow/careless; I didn't really mean it to be, but I didn't know the best way to write that point out.)

(With regards to your question about eBay, I had run a simple search for My Little Pony a few months ago that brought up two items of nsfw nature - one a listed-as-18+ magazine of vaguely anthropomorphized ponies [edit for content ~ hathorcat], the other was a box, I think sold as a jewellery or trinket box, with an anthro Rarity on the lid with 3D breasts.  Now I stick strictly to G1 or vintage My Little Pony - or G2 or G3, depending on what I'm seeking out.  I'm not a prude, per se, but it isn't my cup of tea, so I'd prefer not to imbibe. )

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Run across it by accident onTumblr and ran away. Not my thing and it will give people a bad idea, of the fandom.

[achab1984]

Um I have come along some when I was looking for collection pictures. I also found out to not look for convention pictures either. It sad and sick at the same time. I do not let my daughter look up pony pictures anymore either.   

[Lon-san]

It's our dark underbelly. I'm not bothered that it exists. I don't find ponies sexy because, you know, they are PONIES but I do look sometimes as an odd sort of entertainment. But it DOES need to be kept more in the closet. Nobody should have to look out for the kid who ignores warning, lies about their age and actively SEEKS it out but people should at least ATTEMPT to keep it covered so it's less stumble-upon-able.

As people have already said before, it's because it's such a large group of people. Porn will happen. Jerks will happen. Fraud will happen. If MLP feels like the only one, it's just because you haven't seen the other ones.

R34 of MLP existed pre-G4. There was just less of it.

You might not have seen it because people like me report it and eBay takes it down.  Anything with nudity has to be in the "adult" section and I'm not even sure how you access that portion of eBay.  That stuff absolutely does not belong in the general searches where anyone can see it.  When you report an item, there is a large list that you can choose a reason you are flagging the auction and nudity is on that list.

I find highly erotic pictures in every image search (just on google or yahoo) that I've ever done.  I don't really care what other people are into but I don't want to see it or have my little cousins exposed to it.
