Just to let you know I’m not underage and it’s not my fault they used the same style for rainbow dash and daring do.

Can everypony stop? We all seen the ships on here!

@Background Pony #91Z0  
You still have observation and information gathering skills, my dude.

@Deserter  
Thanks.

@Background Pony #91Z0  
They have similar coloration as a visual joke.
 
@Blissful690  
Hopefully he doesn’t break any laws by looking at images on this site he shouldn’t.
 
Edit: I wrote this reply before fully reading the replies that came after what I was replying to.

Has anyone watched season 1 episode The Return of Harmony foreshadowing season 9 “The Mean 6”? I added foreshadowing season 8 on a picture I posted last week (11 days ago).  
 
Update: Turns out the episode is 9 years before season 9 events. whoops.

@Background Pony #91Z0  
That’s not foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is intentional. The events of season 8 were not known when Return of Harmony was being written (late 2009 / early 2010).
 
^{(And it’s spelled “foreshadow”, not “forshadow”.)}

@JP  
I know but look ahead years later and the mean 6 used the same color scheme. hmm? Ok you’re right.

@JP  
 
mean fluttershy (the mean 6)  
 
basically what’s above

@Background Pony #91Z0  
They’re not the same.
 
The first one (Flutterbitch) is still “our” Fluttershy, but she’s been discorded. Whatever Discord did to her, it caused her to act the opposite of how she normally would (and turned her gray).
 
The second one is a clone, a wooden log, transformed (conjured?) by Queen Chrysalis. Their behavior and appearance may be similar, but they’re not the same.

Should the “anthro” tags be removed from this image?  

 
Comparing this image to the other anthro work the artist has done, it doesn’t look like the mane 6 are anthros in this image, they look more like their equestria girls versions.
 
If it’s because of the feet, i think it might just be perspective that made them look like hooves.

@icey wicey 1517
 
I think so. From what I can see, instead of ‘anthro,’ the image should be tagged ‘equestria girls’ and ‘human.’

@Brainless-Mind  
Equestria Girls images shouldn’t be tagged “human”. For the sake of tagging, they are different species.

Then how do you explain various images under this tag search?

@Brainless-Mind  
Bad tagging, and lots of it.
 
We’ve had a long tiresome history of having to explain to people about the “Equestria Girls vs. Human” tagging and it never seems to end.

@Brainless-Mind  
All of them are incorrectly tagged. Both the EQG and human tag pages clarify that the tags are meant to be mutually exclusive.
 
EDIT: I suppose it’s possible that if an EQG human appeared alongside a non-EQG human in an image, such as oc:anon, the two tags may coexist. Also ninja’d :p

@Litrojia
 
@icey wicey 1517
 
 
Oops, I never noticed that before; thanks. Either way, the image in question should still be marked ‘equestria girls,’ not ‘anthro.’

@Brainless-Mind  
Tell that to the tag search I did.

@Background Pony #91Z0  
How is that relevant?

@Litrojia  
It’s not, I just wanted to see if anyone got the reference of the tags but now that you mentioned it, I regretfully regret being off topic.

Is there a tag for a ship with Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy?

@Background Pony #91Z0  
flarijack

@saby  
Thanks  
Is there even an oc tag for these two in the background of this?  

Should concerned pony be promoted to the character tag category?
 
Furthermore, should it be aliased to something that makes it self-evident that it’s not for use as “a pony that’s concerned”, like concerned pony (bootleg toy) or something like that?

@Background Pony #91Z0  
Pretty sure they’re joke OCs. Sperm and egg cutie marks.
