Ponybooru annual collaboration

@Officer Hotpants  

 
 
You know what’s funniest about the collab? A bunch of shills on /mlp/ are whining and crying about needing to cover up the political quartet (or quintent? Does Fence Mender count as political?)’s cutie marks, spreading lies and FUD about “Aryanne being banned from collab”.  
First they whined that derpi included “correct” politics (e.g. literally bernie, not sure if it had any pride-flag but it’s nigh-guaranteed too) in the collab despite a rule against all politics… and now they’re whining that Pony refuses to include politics in the collab even though it’s “correct” politics!

I’ll be submitting a couple of girls if I can get them done in time

@Barhandar  
I know right? It’s kinda funny tbh.  
Also yeah, Fence Mender counts as political. afaik she’s a centrist, not just apolitical.

Honestly it’s a shame canon ponies aren’t allowed, or I’d do Aryanne in a little black dress and Coco Pommel in exactly the same dress SEETHING about the imposter, as is the mares’ wont. the joke is that Coco Chanel was a Nazi sympathizer
 
Actually, on second thought, I can just have the seething Coco in a separate pic from collabryanne.

@Barhandar  
That sounds hilarious, please do post it as its own thing if you can.

@Napsack  
The seething version’d look somewhat like this.  

@Barhandar  
Looks fun. Coco’s definitely not for the collab, but the image looks great as its own thing.

@Barhandar  
I love it

She so amazing

@Barhandar  
Could put Veronika or one of the others in Coco’s stead.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
The joke doesn’t work without Coco, the image doesn’t work for collab with differently-sized characters.

@Barhandar  
Fair.

@Barhandar  
I do think Aryanne should be front and center for this with the mods’ OCs due to her role in this place coming to be.

@Officer Hotpants  

@Officer Hotpants  
Do you mean:  

@Barhandar  
Right! Like that! Or maybe with the mods’ OCs carrying her on a big, golden, open air palanquin.

Is there going to be a banner?

@Barhandar  
Good question, I can check.

@Barhandar  
I’m not sure what you mean by that

Our entry is ready~ :3
 

@Officer Hotpants  
Sorry for the late reply.  
While the motivation to create an alt booru was influenced partially by the drama over aryanne, the booru stands separate from the drama and nazi imagery in general. We are a bastion of free speech and will allow any and all content so long as it is pony themed and not illegal. All that being said, as a PR move, featuring Aryanne front and center is probably not the route we will be taking. We support individuality and expression, and hell personally I know that the majority of aryanne content is satirical and humorous by nature, but to blatantly support a “symbol of nazi ideology” may land us in legally questionable hot water. Though nazi imagery is not illegal in the united states, we are erring on the side of caution.
 
Shes welcome to be included in a community collab because she is inherently an expression of free speech created by the community, but any further then that, especially and endorsement by giving her priority may be misconstrued as a political stance.
 
Sorry for the politician-esque reply, but this is the unfortunate reality of the society we live in.

@FeatherTrap  
You guys look super cute.

@Acres  
Thanks! I think the artist did good~ :3
 
I’m looking forward to the collab pic…first time I’ve said that in over a year!

@FeatherTrap  
Very cute!

@Sapphie  
Thanks, I hope it’s formatted properly to be in the image.
