They made the voodoo witch a Zebra.
Yeah, the show existed at really the last moment in time where you could get away with being culturally insensitive.
>>43311719Would people have liked Zecora more if she was just a earth pony that figured out how to use magic without unicorn horns?
>>43311719What did you think they should have made her? A monkey?
>>43311733Does this have anything to do with her appearing less frequently after Season 3?
She's an evil watermelon eaterWho deep fries evil chickenand when you deep in her eyesshe'll put you in grape sodathen what will she do? she'll mix up some evil pooso.. watch out
>>43311748Absolutely. I'm pretty sure the writers were self-conscious about the fact that she's a standin for Africans™ and didn't want to get tons of criticism about orientalism and so on.
>>43311719As a nigga myself, it's fine. Id argue she's more of a shaman (shamare?). It's more so a crime she doesn't get a lot of screen time in the later seasons. They rosa parked my mare.
>>43311752Nah, those are diaspora zebras.Shes an actual zebra
>>43311719that's a pretty cool idea not gonna lie
>>43311755>>43311748I remember there being a comment from a writer about her rhyming being too hard to write around, so they just sorta didn't. I don't recall anyone ever mentioning optics for Zecora.
>>43311719based
>>43311719I hear she eats hay
>>43311839That also makes sense as a reason.
>>43311719Zamn! Anon's wife looks like THAT?!
>>43311979>futaCelestia's sending you to jail for fetishizing her little ponies.
>>43311719You know that the real voodoo (not movie version) is originally from Africa, right? Also Zecora never does voodoo in the first place.
>>43311733Again, why is that "insensitive"? And no, Black Anericans would have no say in this because they're NOT one of African ethnicities and have zero idea about African culture.
>>43311983OK, but those bits are not actually proportioned good are they?
>>43311979>futaCelestia's sending you in jail for being gay.
>>43311719Cute donkey but why does she have five wedding rings
>>43312017>Again, why is that "insensitive"?People generally don't like it when an entire continent gets mashed together into a single thing. Imagine how pissed Brits would be if there was a prominent pony who speaks with an English accent, wears a French beret and her big talent is that she cooks pizza.
>>43311719My wifey so beautiful.
>>43312139She is very pretty and I find her voice super calming. I don't know if we'd hang out much but I'd like to know her at least.
>>43312135That sounds hilarious, actually
>>43312135>Imagine how pissed Brits would be if there was a prominent pony who speaks with an English accent, wears a French beret and her big talent is that she cooks pizza.It wasnt a pony but there was a character like this on another show Faust worked on.
>>43312151Like I said, different era! I for one think it's fun to mash cultures together but many many people disagree.
>>43312153I dont think anyones gonna care for silly cartoon shows. And if they do remind them that they subscribe to beliefs that censorship is bad and that freedom of expression is good. See if they dont turn into hypocrites.
>>43312135Then i guess they shouldn't have made Applejack.
>>43312010Nigga look at her, thats 100% voodoo. You believe her lies? Prepared to be made into stew. She can go back to Zequestria if he doesn't like it.
>>43311786>as a niggaI don't believe you.
Zebras are prey for everything.
>>43312317But enough about you.
>>43312315I can post my 5.3 inch black cock if you want
>>43311719Yes, and?
>>43312017I’m certain an absurd number like ~90% don’t want witches to be what’s shown of them in media. Hell, most hate the witches in their own country.
>>43312904https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_forms_of_shamanism#Africa
>>43312317That includes being prey for my BWC, by the way.
>>43312957The term for this board would be "HMD".
>>43312957Oh my...
>>43313053I wonder how many anons nowadays even know where that term comes from.
>>43311839>her rhyming being too hard to write aroundThat is blatant coward faggot speak for 'we didn't want to get cancelled for having the zigga in the show or even mention her' since her rhyming is piss easy to write as it's so simple, slow and she doesn't even talk much. Basically just the later season writers admitting they are shit at their jobs which is also true lmao
>>43311719
>>43311719Ok.
>>43313275I'll be honest and say I can't even remember anymore after 14 years. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Flutters though.
>>43311719so
>>43314256Wrongo bongo, it comes from a comic that got spammed on /b/ and probably /v/ too where a blonde white boy gets dicked down by a chimpanzee.
>>43314265That's pretty gay.I like the Flutters explanation better.
>>43314265Source? I always thought the origin for hot monkey dick was Fluttershy, too.
>>43311979based
>>43311719>zebras are from Africa>they used a black African person accent for her voice because black people are from Africa and most Africans are black>village witches and druids are really only common in Africa in this day and ageI miss when media could focus on being good instead of tiptoeing around a politically correct ideal with no basis in logic or reality. Characters are better when they're thematically consistent, and stereotypes exist for a reason. If the forest-dwelling witch doctor were a normal pony with a normal white person voice the show would be objectively worse. Yaks would not have been nearly as annoying as they are if they'd been stereotypical Tibetans.
>>43311839Also I feel like after a certain point there were just so many other characters that there was no room for Zecora at all
>>43314265I'm gonna stick with the other anon's explanation.
>>43315573The Simpsons has more side characters than MLP ever would and its golden era fleshed alot of them out. Their staff is just incompetent and the fandom gleefully accepted 9 seasons of this. Even celebrity one off characters got some kind of arc in the Simpsons no less, meanwhile theres like 30 devoted to poochie, yaks and other abominations
Bump
>>43311719I have swamp fever
