      @Icehawk

      Thanks for sharing that. I hadn't seen her response before regarding their approximate ages. I had always guessed late teens to early twenties, just because they seem to have jobs, but aren't completely mature. Though it's strange that, apart from Mr. and Mrs. Cake, the Mayor, and the royal sisters, you don't really see any ponies that appear "older" than the others.

      You can't stop me from closing the link! Haha!

      But yeah, people got a touch overreactant. You announced it was saucy. If people didn't want saucy, they shouldn't have clicked. I don't think it'd hurt to have something like Ponychan's NSFW preview, though.

      Ok, I saw this comic on dA before it was posted on here. Even though cloppy stuff doesn't bother me, I never thought it would be put on EQD. We need to draw the line somewhere and I think this crosses it... just about. There are other sites for whoever wants to see that sort of stuff.

      I think it was a right decision to remove it, and also I respect that you've apologised, Seth. I just think, that as people already judge the brony community with cynicism - and this site being the flagship of that community - we should keep it family friendly. After all, remember what the actual age of the audience is, it's younger kids. Some might look or post here, alone or with parents. I think it's for the best to try and keep borderline or outright clop out of the site.

      The blog became popular only because of Sethisto XVI, and it remains popular only because of Sethisto XVI, and his other friends who oversee the site. If this site is effectively run by everyone with a voice, it will gravitate naturally towards dissolution, argument, and chaos. For those who desire lub and tolewance, then lub and tolewance this (or that) comic. There's a warning, you disregard it. You rage at Sethisto for opening the door WHEN IT IS YOU WHO WALKED IN.

      Sethisto XVI will continue to run things as he sees fit, but now the fundies and others who think that the community is popular and cool because of THEM (who are sorely mistaken) will have a larger say in the matter. They will force their views on others, and as we have seen, it is entirely possible that this will happen again in the future.

      The operators of community driven sites have to react to the attitudes of the community; such is the nature of the beast, lest they alienate or permanently alter it in a negative way. I know some people approve of R34 and others do not, and ED doesn't really need to post R34 to keep the site enjoyable to everyone - however, a lot of people do not enjoy R34.

      Keeping it safe is the best option for everyone - aside from the R34 artists who might like the extra traffic of course :p

      I don't necessarily have a problem with the second comic being posted, but I think it might've been too prominently placed.

      This site has other things featuring suggestive material--we've had our fair share of saucy pics in drawfriend--but I think the main difference is that you have to jump through some hoops in order to get to them. Saucy drawfriends are never the headline pics, and they're hidden behind text links without thumbnails.

      By contrast, the second comic in this post was prominently featured alongside a perfectly tame comic, with the same size thumbnail, and the only warning it got was plain text in between the two comic links. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even read the text, because I usually prefer to see the whole comic for myself before I read any side commentary. Arguably my own fault, but I bet there's a lot of other people who do the same thing, and it would've been easily prevented with a text link to the comic instead of a thumbnail.

      Seth, I bet if you posted the comic as a saucy pic in the next drawfriend, very few people would complain.

      Yeah... freedom of speech is shaky ground to stand on here dude, considering its heavily copyrighted material and Hasbro/Hub and the creators of the show have been VERY, VERY kind with not overly enforcing copyright infringement based on the grounds that this is free advertising for the show and their products, the real money maker.

      Soooo... please don't let hasbro throw a hissy fit. it can hurt everyone if bad publicity starts to hurt the shows image and Hasbro decides its not cool.

      Honestly, Seth, should probably, for the sake of quelling a violent shit storm, take that stuff down. IMO (read, IMO!) it can get super creepy and inappropriate really fast, and ya, this is a site thats supposed to be a kinda homebase for fans. Hell, I really don't even find some ship fics to be in any kind of good taste. there is a line people.

      Well the insults were uncalled for.

      I don't believe the issue is that people "dislike" the comic and therefore want it off the site. I'm not saying most people like it, I'm saying that that's not the problem. The problem is that the content can reflect negatively on EqD and bronies as a whole. I don't know about the rest of the community, but I'm just afraid that bronies will become the "new" furries, in the sense that we would ruin something by having porn of it. I'm not saying that such artwork can't exist. It just shouldn't be on what is considered to be the most popular MLP blog which gets thousands of views a day. People form opinions of us based on things posted/said here. Who cares what other people think, you ask? Well, I do, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

      Anyway, that's just my take on the issue. People are free to disagree.

      Ah. Saw you took it down. Brony pride +2. Thanks Seth.

      As an online community organizer myself (running a club of tens of thousands of members on DeviantArt), I know that the community's feedback is important, and it makes me glad to see you care enough about your own blog to allow the collective masses who congregate here voice themselves and be listened to.

      Hopefully this defuses the tension, and that nothing of the sort slips through again. A lot of us are quite defensive when it comes to the fandom, and get criticized a lot for it. The 'pedophile' and 'yiffer' labels are difficult to dispel when even the largest nexus of the fandom gives them fodder to criticize us further with. After all, it's the innocence and the light-hearted vibe of the show that gives the show such a distinct appeal, and when people porn it up it makes me feel...violated.

      It's not really very cool or convincing to try to marginalize an opinion that disagrees with your own by attacking the person who wrote it with comments like "puritanical manchild" etc.

      It's a question of accessibility; some content just doesn't want to be seen by a substantial portion of the community, and the experience is better for everyone if that partially undesired content is not prominent.

      Overreacting to the content was silly, but insulting people for not wanting to see it is unnecessary.

      Because it's unusual for a COMPANY to listen to its audience and take note of them. They are going outside the norm in a good way.

      But Sethisto, as one person, shouldn't allow himself to become influenced by EqDaily's audience because if that happens, chaos ensues from wavering opinions clashing and inter-brony wars starting.

      See, here's the thing.

      I don't care if you don't want to see it. If you don't want to see it, you can close your browser tab and do something else. You have perfect control over what is on your screen at any one time, especially since Sethisto is kind enough to warn us of the contents and place the comic behind a couple links.

      Thanks Seth, I think you made the right decision.

      I didn't actually see the comic, but I don't think I would've raged about it like a few other commenters have. However, I think that as the blog is pretty much the most well-known face of the fandom, we should try to keep it as clean as possible for the sake of our collective reputation

      @Sethisto

      Thanks a lot. My little sis found this site on her own, and even though I don't think she went here more than two or three times, I really, really, really don't want her to see this kind of thing. No, telling a kid something is forbidden for no apparent reason wouldn't help.

      Yes, besides the obvious "being a flagship" thing, you must not forget that this site has enough visibility to attract kids and little girls, and can easily be mistaken for an official site about the show.
      With 2 million clicks per week, so many websites referencing linking to it and many, many kid-friendly mlp videos having the "seen on Equestria Daily" tag, it's very easy to stumble on your site, and this is why you have the responsibility to make it safe for them.

      Even saucy fanfics shouldn't even be here imo : yes, a kid is likely to read a "Skittles" story about candy with a cute picture. I don't really mind people liking that stuff, but they know where to get it (and more) anyway.

      I think it's just because of how happy and wholesome the show is, I get way more bothered about this type of internet shenanigans when it applies to MLP than most other stuff.

      Same with Calvin & Hobbes. There's been badly-drawn Simpsons porn circulating pretty much since the internet started, and that stuff doesn't bother me, but if I saw anything like that with Calvin & Hobbes, it would totally freak me out. Because Calvin & Hobbes means a lot to me, and I don't wanna have it tainted with that stuff. It's same with MLP for me.

      All that said though, I don't have a problem with stuff like that comic getting posted up, because it is cute and funny, and not just porn. I just think it should be marked in some way that it's a bit more eye-bleach than something like ratemyplot, so that people with more delicate constitutions like myself know that it's something that we'll regret seeing.

      I don't see a difference. If either Hasbro or Seth are completely dominated or controlled by fan opinions, then yes, chaos will ensue. But both are also able to simply listen to the community and use our opinions in making their own judgement calls.

      In most cases, I'm sure Seth does whatever he wants with the blog he runs. In this particular case, he listened to our (differing) opinions, decided, on his own, that it would be best to take it down. We didn't force him to take it down through spam or a boycott of the site or a DDoS attack or something. We voiced our opinions, he hear us, and agreed.

      When I saw a few hours ago that TheXxxX said on his DA he'd emailed the comic to Seth, I was bracing myself for the shitstorm if it got posted. And sure enough.

      My opinion is irrelevant, but I personally didn't have a problem with the comic itself. It's honestly a LOT tamer than many other...um..."unfortunate" images I'm come across. However, I believe that maybe the link should have been behind a cut, and that there should have been a much bigger warning. I personally didn't care about it being posted here, it honestly wasn't any worse than a lot of the shipping fics posted here and I honestly never saw this as a site for "children" regardless.

      Don't get me wrong, I'd like for this site to remain relatively "clean" as it has, but I believe the occasional "not-so-clean" thing such as this, with proper warning, should still be ok to post here. I mean, the comments here are rarely clean even on a perfectly innocent post, so I never saw this as a place for the really young'uns, and it's ultimately Seth's blog, not an official MLP site.

      Despite some saying he "gave in to pressure", I think Seth probably made the right call this time about taking it down, if only because it caused such an "incident".

      tl;dr Let's just calm down guys, we're gonna get through this.

      Nobody is claiming that "nobody else should be able to see it either." People are free to view those kinds of images on sites dedicated to hosting them. Nothing is stopping people from also going to other sites to find porn. The other side simply felt that that kind of pic isn't appropriate for THIS site. Historically, EqD has not hosted those kind of images. The "saucy" pics that are found here are tame. I know that "tame" is relative, but IMO that second comic went over the line.

      Bronies arguing amongst themselves about a comic is pathetic. You're all being pathetic. Some bronies enjoy clop material, that's just a given. It exists, there is porn of it, and people will enjoy it. As the "flagship" sight, as you call it, it will eventually have material to appeal to everyone, even the "sickos." If you don't like it, then just walk away, or grow a set and deal with it. You're all more than capable of reading something, so if you don't like borderline things, stay away from the word "saucy." It was right there, black and white, clear as crystal. You clicked and you complained, so you GET NOTHING in terms of sympathy or support.

      Honestly, I've never been more pissed off at a single group of people. You really are acting like the weenies that the pony-haters say we are.

      I agree that it should be ultimately Seth's decision. But if he decides to post saucy+ images, he has to be aware of both the positive and negative consequences of doing so.

      Both saucy images and grimdark stories are, as we've seen through these comments, a tricky subject. I think there are some acceptable saucy/grimdark, but also others that cross the line. The problem is that the line is different for each individual. So where does Seth draw it? When does a "saucy" image become "extra saucy"? When does an "extra saucy" image become "porn"? I know where my line is, but I'm sure it's not the same for everybody. That's why I believe it best for Seth to just play on the safe side and keep those kind of things off the site. They are still easily found on DA, FA, Ponibooru, etc., but people won't get their panties in a bunch about it being seen here.

      First comic isn't too bad.

      The second (Already removed) one, though is way inappropriate, BUT not just because it's saucy, in my opinion.

      What really makes the second comic terrible is that it jumps off a point of a certain scene in Over A Barrel.
      Combined with it's "shocking" content, every time I watch that scene in Over A Barrel, I would think of the comic.

      The problem is simply that it retroactively ruins an entire episode for some people. And that's not cool considering how great season 1 was.

      Even if the comic was just "Grimdark" instead of saucy, it still could retroactively ruin the episode because it's a divergent from a scene in it.
      It doesn't help that there is an actual NSFW version of that comic.

      If the comic had an original setup, I could tolerate it on the site(with appropriate warnings), although I think it would still be a little too much, but as it stands I consider it to be the worst of the worst from the fandom, since it effectively ruins the actual episodes (for some people). There may be a few users who say it was created for humour but I think the comic takes itself just seriously enough to still be mentally scarring.
      It's practically a Pinkie/Dash clop comic with humour tacked-on, and not the kind I know from Pinkie, either.

      And that's another thing, taking the interpretation of Pinkie as a molester and going with it is just wrong. It reminds me too much of yaoi fictions where one guy is forcibly raped by some other guy and then for some reason this makes them fall in love (Or they were already in love and didn't know it). Total nonsense. The average intelligent being does not act that way, and such fictions don't seem to realize this.

      Anyway, I think I'll stop now, I'm ranting at this point. All I mean to say is that "molest/rape" fiction that takes itself too seriously is disgusting, and even moreso when it tries to insert itself into canon (regardless if it was on purpose or not).

      Even if none of us see this as a site for children, it still definitely looks like one, is named like one, and definitely has enough visibility to be found by a kid (my little sis did, gladly she only came back once or twice... for the "cute drawings"). This isn't about what we don't want to see, it's about what we don't want OTHERS to see. It's about moral responsibility.

      For example, smashboards might be heavily competitive, it's still technically about a kids' game and strictly prohibits swearing. Equestria Daily is much more likely to be found, by even more innocent kids, and yet it should show things like this or Skittles on the front page with a cute drawing ?

      I like how everyone is thinking of Skittles. Just goes to show how spontaneous they are, using the first shipping fanfic that comes to mind, even though there is a whole range of saucy and grimdark to choose from.

      When did she discuss that? Was that on her DA page or something? I'm surprised she even respond to such a question. Props to her for doing so though.

      Skittles was fairly recent, so of course they'd use it as an example. Also, from what I've heard, it was pretty borderline as well, so it's a good example to use.

      Oh, by the way, while literally every fandom has this kind of stuff, it's ALWAYS kept away from the main sites, and you ALWAYS have to either look for it or visit "unsafe" places to find it.

      I believe we all know the one exception to this rule, and its violation is probably the main reason why this community has such a bad (probably undeserved) reputation. That's what destroyed this fandom, we definitely don't want the same thing happening to us.

      I'm glad Seth understands his responsibility, even though he didn't ask for it. That's the burden of popularity ;)

      Skittles was about PinkiePie licking Dashi because she tasted like lollys. So naturally the first thing that would come to mind when you see a picture of Pinkie licking Dashi is that messed up fanfic.

      And it only got as far as kissing, which I don't even counts as saucy.

      @*sigh*Not really. Her answer seemed to simply dismiss that an episode would have baby ponies coming from the sky in a bubble or something like that.
      The only reason she answered that question was probably because the show wasn't going to address how ponies are born in the first place.

      I'm not against tasteful sexual content or even mildy/jokingly implied rape. I might have actually overstated that the comic ruined the episode for me too, because I still watch Over A Barrel regularly and I've mostly gotten over my initial viewing of the comic months ago on DA.

      I still think it was a wrong move to put it up here though.
      Even ignoring my opinion, it's caused far more arguing than the average comic simply because of its content.

      Whether your point was valid or not is not the issue at hand here. The issue is that you were outright hypocritical in the delivery of said point. Whitehawk wasn't juvenile in the slightest, and you in turn call him out for being juvenile and insult him.

      Are you implying that being gay is wrong or suggestive? I haven't read the fic to know how saucy it gets, but the fact that it's m/m shipping shouldn't be the argument. If you want to argue that all shipping fics should be removed, that's another issue. Not sure where I sit on that argument, but if we allow f/f shipping, m/m should be no problem as well.

      WhiteHawke said this comic will ruin the episode for him.
      I asked him how could a stupid comic ruin an episode to him, and it's pretty damn obvious why would it "ruin the episode for him".
      I was asking for what reason would it ruin an episode for him, unless he's 5.
