I agree.
And yet... the first reaction I had to the Toy Story characters was: "Oh gee, the artist probably got a bunch of whiny comments about THEM FUGLY MEN FACES so they tried to cope a bit" ^^#

Even if the male counterpart has a super deformed face, somehow you HAVE to make the fem version a flawless animu face or else angry fanboys might jump at you.

I have had similar experiences in the Friendship is Magic fandom. Only there it's not so much about gender swaps but about humanizations. Somehow the zebra character and to some degree the main pony character are allowed to be Black, the rest have to be White or Asian (but with Asian they really mean Japanese).
Oh, and how dare you draw the hard-working farm pony NOT in a revealing fetish cowgirl dress and the sugar-inhaling cake-o-holic as a chubby person. They have to be thin with nice asses and boobs or else you'll get dogpiled.

This brought up an amusing thought. Is there a single pony in Friendship is Magic that is depicted as being overweight? Every singly pony I can think of has been 'normal' weight so I can see why fandom might be ~*~*~offended~*~* that their precious ponies are depicted as larger when in canon they're all normal size/weight/whathaveyou. The only pony I can think of that is even close to not being normal size/weight is Big Macintosh.

Oh, the "they're all copy+paste" is brought up often. The funny thing is that the creators themselves have said that this was only done for budget and toy reasons. Oddly enough people seem to have the biggest problems with the humanizations if human skin colors come into play. Lots of them aren't willing to accept headcanons and you will also find a lot defence of racism.

For example, the pony village looks "Euro-centric" so of course that means to them "humanizations of color make no sense in canooon". Boob sizes, however, are the thing you're allowed to play with. Does Fluttershy have an A-cup because she is so shy or does she have DDs because she is so motherly? Real ~deep~ character analysis right there, lol!

I'd say they're more annoyed at the adult fandom than mad at the children's cartoon.

anon from above

Pretty much this. I think I was nowhere saying that the cartoon is shit. The constant wank about "nigger sparkle" and "fat pie" however, is.

Fanboys hate anything that isn't what they consider "sexy". I've had fanboys complain that I made an evil character look EVIL (and not cute and innocent or whatever they're fapping to) and I've had them telling me to draw characters in a way that are completely out of character.

And that bugs me, I don't care if someone wants a sexy drawing or fap material, but when I draw my own fanart (you know, for ME) I like drawing the characters accurate to their personality.

+1

Draw whatever you want but don't try to make your way of seeing characters fanon or even canon. When "why is she a nigger?" was at it's peek they would even not shy away from real people anymore, starting to complain about actual non-white, non-skinny, non-big boobed people cosplay as the characters.

"Maybe if XY swapped heads with ABC and Z's nose was smaller, then-"
I wish I was making this up.

I actually see Pinkie as pudgy for a slight body frame but depending on what she's wearing looooking about average (which honestly is kinda like me). Partly because since she is so energetic she likely has a pretty decent metabolism for a young adult but still her intake is also fairly large. So. If she were to wear tiight clothes she would be fairly pudgy but if she were to wear large clothes she'd look average.

But with a supermodel body? Nah.


Also I've actually seen a lot of a darker skinned Twilight. I like that a lot personally.

As for AJ I kinda see her wearing practical , rough and tumble clothes. In some cases I've noticed that short shorts can be easy to move in. I can't see her with stripperific clothing
