The rest of the site is a lost cause, thanks to your cancer. However despite its numerous problems, /mlp/ has remained somewhat of a time capsule of "classic" 4chan, and here you are trying to fuck that all up. Your refusal to post ponies is very telling.
Frog cancer will never be welcome here. Last (You) for you, kill yourself, etc.

Avatarfagging is generally considered bad etiquette on 4chan.

I hold up the mirror. The complaints you have with them apply to your shitty memespam as well. Yet you think you're different.
>>
>>42550436
That is true, modern /mlp/ memes have fallen into the same 'everything should use the same format' trap as pepe and wojak spam. Nor/mlp/eople should try and embrace the old ways, where you simply post as many silly ponies in as many silly situations as possible, ideally in the form of OC. A crummy mspaint drawing of a pony is better than reusing the same shit over and over for years.

Well yeah but I mean like, you know, good.

Maybe with more dry or adult humor? (nothing rated R, but like for example - a story of Trixie having to go to the wagon DMV and Glimmy being a cunt while waiting the entire time.)
>>
>>42550632
I feel like if you lean into the more adult comedy stuff with the characters being genuinely unpleasant you lose the thing that made people like ponies in the first place.
>>
>>42550635
Yeah... I guess that's a fair critique. I suppose I'd try to balance the joy of the characters with the mundane, but that probably wouldn't work too well either.
>>
>>42550557
Rewatch trannies caused the stagnation.
>>
>>42550681
I mean, it's more a symptom than the disease. There was nothing new to latch onto so people decided to just rewatch the show.
>>
>>42550689
It isn't rewatching the show. It's the same braincancer culture in their cytube namefaggot parties that they exported onto the board.
>>
>>42550728
The point is that it's a symptom. The reason why there's a relatively small semi-offboard community that has significantly adjusted the culture of the board is because there's nothing new to work with and that meant things started slowing down, people started leaving and that kind of incestuous culture was easier to build. It's the same experience that anyone who's been in a /vg/ general for long enough has seen - once the game stops getting updates it just becomes a circlejerk. This board's too big to become a true circlejerk but it's clearly headed in that direction and the reason is pretty obvious, it's not because of posters you dislike, it's because the thing that brought us all here is over.
>>
>>42550738
Anon the poster you're replying to is not the type of person who can listen to reason
>>
>>42550738
Calling it all a symptom is way too handwavy. Nothing to work with, yet they pick 'overlooked' characters to and do nothing with it except more shit spam. Yet the oldfandom fags didn't have this problem and used 'nothing to work with' to springboard from. What you're really saying is they're not creative at all and need anyone to do it for them, since the creative people left and all thats left are braindead faggots.
>>
>>42550760
There were about 30 times more users on this board at its peak and they were getting weekly new things to overexamine and get excited about. People are out of things to overexamine, those discussions have been had a hundred times over at this point and yes, most of the people who enjoy drawing and making silly things on 4chan left a long time ago. I'd be willing to bet you'd be less annoyed with Amethyst Star threads if people were actually regularly making new art and greens of her and giving you something worth reading, but they don't and they can't. That era of this board is gone and what remains of it is stuck in a couple general threads.

>don't and they can't
New art and flickers of creativity still happen here and there, just less than there used to be. Expecting any more than that is just setting yourself up for disappointment, but if all the people who are sad about the lack of contribution began contributing themselves instead of complaining, we'd be much better off.
>>
>>42550760
So where's all your creativity then? Surely, you've been working your tail off making mountains of OC to try and improve things.

So you're just agreeing with me that they are cancer, and brought more cancer.
trannies never had any iota of what made the oldfandom but claim they're doing the same thing when you dont slurp it up like another braindead drone.

And what generals? Even nu/mlp/s 'height of old spirit' snowponies was largely follow the marbo leader.
>>
>>42550803
I'm claiming that the people who put out the stuff you loved left half a decade ago at the earliest and there's no signs of that coming back. 4chan is no longer a popular website so there's not going to be a big enough wave of new blood to promote new writefagging or drawfagging, and most creative outputs are kept in /bale/ or the draw thread which minimizes the interplay between people making art and the main discussion of the board itself.

>>42550787 this is /bale/ a low effort meme funny shitpost. /bale/ discourages more cognitive creative effort, and encourages throw away doodling it's in the name. Need a reminder that the numget cancer started as a /bale/ one off?

/drawthreads/ are just shitpost deliveries and ponifications 90% of the time, most drawfags having abandoned it. These two generals are pitifully dry for engaging creative content.

So if that's your bar, then /mlp/ is creatively bankrupt.

It took 1 more braincell to recycle overlychattypony, than to recycle screaming at bread. This isn't even a critique of the drawing itself which is bad as well.
Her hoof is the size of her head, the horn is way too high, the ears are giant.
It's just typical /bale/ doing no effort to improve anything. just put out shitty doodles and go get asspats in the circlejerk general
>>
>>42550900
>/bale/
>no effort to improve anything
The entire point of the general is to improve, retard. The drawings are amateurish because they are amateurs. Most artists don't start out as experts. It's still a cute drawing.
Why should anyone cater to a whiny faggot having a shitfit he's not getting what he wants, yet refuses to contribute anything of his own? Serious question.

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen /bale/ tantrum over having to do more than lowest effort. Or get pissy when there's other artists better than them thinking it's 'flexing' on them. Or when they got angry about things being more finished and not loweffort even when it was by an amateur

Are you a /bale/fag? well guess what you will not improve drawing shitty numgets for the 1000th time. /bale/ 'improvement' is at a glacial pace since they've decided to just shut out anything that doesn't fit into the comfortzone. You will also never improve if all you do is lap up compliments and get into a stagnant complacency.

I'm not necessarily doubting you, but still, citation needed. There's some actually decent advice in here underneath your constant hostility.
>>
>>42550951
This was a regular thing. Including on the aggie before it was the magma other better artists would occassionally show up and /bale/faggots would be insecure and cry about it like bitter trannies that they weren't using the /create/ aggie instead of using it as inspiration. Leading to the artist then leaving the aggie, so /bale/feefees can be spared.
There was also other cases where /bale/fags turned on eachother and if someone was 'too good' for /bale/s lowest effort possible then they should leave the thread.

Overall /bale/trannies are whiny and lazy, never improve except at a snails pace and only use it as a therapy of uwu i draw poni and get (you)s for it
>>
>>42550848
Like I said in the post this is in reply to, I think creative output being locked down to just a couple generals ultimately hurts it for some of the reasons you describe in your argument with that other anon. Boards thrive when there's interplay between the average poster and people creating OC, when the OC gets cordoned off then you usually see output drop off due to lack of feedback and an increase in cliquey behavior which is exactly what you describe. In an ideal world shitscribble artists would show up in random threads and have fun making contextually relevant stuff in them since that's what makes people actually remember threads, but most threads are low-quality which makes artists not be interested in them and instead they stay to their generals which promote staying in their generals and so on. It's a complicated mess and I don't see any easy solution.

In general I agree.
But cordining off OC is one of the reasons people did not like generals before /bale/ even was a thing. And it's only exacerbated the skew since the creation of that circlejerk space with brainfart shit that is bound to never get reposted.
