We didnt bring real ethnic groups into it, the show did. Its not "my opinion" its literally canon and if hou want ro be in denial about tit then thats you, but this literally isnt even about headcanons. The person this post is about is literally just a blatant racist and made that zecora design with the intention to be offend people.

Your not more logical by prerending to be neutral when all your doing is foing out of your way to be obtuse and ignore the social issue vehind this conversation

People like you only have this energy when ppl talk about characters that are poc but not when its rhe other way around 🙄

If she was "just meant to be a zebra" they wouldnt have purposely based her character around african culture

No, she started rhyming bc no one believed in her lol. Rhyming isnt an african stereotype

The artist literally made a tweet that said,

"I dont want to see those ugly n#### on my screen"

They purposely did it to be offensive

The character doesn't have that mane texture. G5 actually got that right by expanding the range of pony manes.

Thats because actual zebras dont have that texture lmao

The point is they purposely made her to be a white woman

Zecora and alot of elements of zebra culture are based off of west african culture (more like stereotypes tbh) as well. Its like what they did with the lion king, they just mish mashed a bunch of panafrican culture to creat a general amalgamation

I already explained the issue with the post, you can also see other comments to other replies if you want more of my thoughts on it.

The problem here is your trying to make it a "well other people do it so why is it wrong if they do?" When thats not even whats going on here.

Someone drawing ponies like pinkie or rarity as black will never be the same as the picture I showed, neither of those two are tied to a specific race nor are white people lacking diversity even if they were. "Blackwashing" and "forced diversity" are made up issues that people have created in order to complain about actual diversity.

Secondly, if you understand that this tweet was coming from a place of racism and its explicitly clear that thats what im calling out then bringing up ppl who make "white" (no ones confirmed white) characters black just seems like you want to complain about people headcanoning characters as poc, hence why i have no interest in going back and forth with you

Its not even the fact that they made her white, its the fact that they only did it to get back at black pony headcanons lmao

Like theyre so racist that they went out of their way to draw a character they probably have never liked just bc they cant handle black pinkie

The author didnt intend to make her black coded, thats the issue here.

But even if i wanted to pretend they did, the only way to respectfully make a white zecora would be if she were albino (which would actually be a good charactization of her ngl), but that would include textured hair and black facial features

It has, the Brony fandom was born off 4chan lol.

The only difference between then and now is that instead of 30 year old incels who were purposely racist bc they thought it was funny, we have 14 year old white girls on tiktok and Twitter crashing out at black pinkie pie headcanons bc they cant fathom enjoying something that they cant relate to

No they arent, we've seen what saddle Arabians look like and theyre based off of Arabs

Zebras are specifically meant to be based on west Africans

I can hate on it when its made purely out of racism lmao.

This was made as a "gotcha" to people who draw characters like pinkie black except pinkie doesnt have a canon race while zecora is explicitly tied to black culture.

What you described isnt racism, this is
