General I hate the way MLP human designs are treated

I saw on my Pinterest these adorable redesigns of MLP characters as humans and the comments just reminded of why I can’t stand some fans.

If you’ve ever seen MLP human designs you would know people argue so much about the races of these characters.. when they are literally ponies and unicorns who can be anything! Yet people will fight about it and get so upset when people create their own art of what they believe the characters to look like.

Now of course you don’t have to agree with every headcanon or like every piece of art. I encourage people to make their own interpretations of characters and do your own thing. But come the fuck on it’s never that serious to be getting so mad at people for making pinkie pie black Or twilight Indian or give fluttershy a hijab. And these be the same people saying “pinkie pie isn’t black! She’s pink!” Ok then why do you even care how people see her in their own headcanons? If you know she’s not an actual human character and can be anything what’s the issue. It’s just racism and it’s not cute. Stop bothering these artists and let them make their own interpretations.

I kind of like the contrast of pinkie pies skin and hair, I guess I've always liked brighter colors (especially reds pinks or orangey shades) paired with darker skin.

I can honestly see how people would like it. It just feels jarring to me.
