Plenty of safe for work original content makes it to trending on Derpi.

This site has gradually become more NSFW focused over time to the point where I think people only come here to goon, even though the NSFW on Derpi is still way better. I’m pondering whether I should move to like X or something. You can’t fight nature. You can’t fight change. You can’t fight… gravity.

I like this one and was disappointed there was only 1 other very similar picture

it would be nice to see in the sketchy style that some of the owner’s previous submissions used

@Meta_Void
is this also the case at derpi? i feel like it isn’t but i blocked comments and shit

I can tell you why I think the image has a low score, but all it would be doing is stating the obvious.

@Background Pony #3768
They are my guess for why this image has a relatively low score.

Yeah, some people avoid filtering and then are upset at things they don’t like. I don’t get it. Proper filtering would solve the downvote problem, but of course not the lack of attention problem.

You list all those like they’re bad things.

Personally I love OCs more than canon, and I’m not into solo female or straight or lesbian stuff at all, so you can imagine how much pain I endure here just looking at new images. I should really contribute more stuff I like, but it’s hard to feel encouraged to do so when people downvote those topics all the time and rarely give them attention.

Wabi-Sabi

Art style is like early fandom. For me it’s nostalgic but maybe other people don’t like it. Also, sadly stallions don’t get enough love.

I like it. Both characters show emotion. There’s a windswept mane, indicating speed. Style is a bit too AI IMHO.

Personally I don’t like this type of character design, so I can’t judge this image fairly.

OC, red+black, heterochromia, looks like a maniac.

Edgy color scheme & painted flames. When edgy look is combined with weapons, armor and mask, it greatly increases the perceived edginess. Even the image number is edgy. :P

IDK, perhaps people also found it too edgy? But I think it would get more upvotes if it was a popular character. It would also help to make it clearer that it’s supposed to be Dragon Ball Z.

Mangled cutie mark. People probably thought it’s an OC. The part about stallions also applies.

@Background Pony #8BB7
Yeah, keep going.

@Meta_Void
MLP is all about characters. People care about them.

That’s just a pony transforming into a timberwolf. This concept was done many times. Would get more upvotes if it had some story, not just a transformation sequence.

Not bad, but not super interesting either. It’s just a fight and not a very dynamic looking one.

This is notable mostly for its technical merit.

That’s a reasonably good OC design. It doesn’t show any character traits though. Not to mention people care about ponies more than they do about dragons.

Good idea, execution could be better. Square books, text artifacts… I still upvoted it though.

Should I go on?

maybe our wing of the fandom touches grass less than others? less to get inspiration from idk

of all the booru sites i think these one sadly has the biggest problem with repetition and “sameness”

@tyto4tme4l
Yeah I was exaggerating a bit with the downvoted to hell thing tbh because I’m biased. I just feel like we have the potential to be more than just our base impulses. I am starved for good narratives, and adventures!

I wouldn’t call images having 4-5 dislikes “downvoted to hell”. They just don’t have many upvotes, because the majority of users don’t find them too interesting. If an image is not cute or sexy, it should have something going for it to be liked.

Do you have any examples?

Equestria to me is like a box of legos. It’s one of the most fun and interesting settings with a world of unlimited possibilities. But, if I see anyone post anything that isn’t just the main characters of the show, it gets downvoted to hell unless it is porn. I know I said in one comment that it is mostly do to a resistance to change, but the resistance seems way stronger than normal here. This baffles me, because we’re getting to the point where we can make absolutely anything that our minds can imagine with AI. I want to see more than the same 5 concepts over and over again, and I won’t if the people trying new things just get pushed out every time.
