>Meta, post-irony.
yeah, I almost thought that it was the art of image macros for reacting towards X post.

>Detective Rarity is what blows my mind in that regard. Despite having never taken an attraction to them, one does't have to be to notice some of the later season posings...
they know what they have been doing since the 3rd season. It´s almost like they take advantage of that aspect in order to suggest something else. Rarity almost wanted to look like Marilyn Monroe.....and something tells me that we are not going to miss her...

>at least she is doing it as a part of her show and fully among adults unlike someponies
I think that you are onto something right here...
also, her show included Flurry Heart in her Ponyville tour (On The Road To Friendship) among the public. I suppose Trixie does that in the nightly hours.

>I need to look back at what drove the mods to it as the downvotes to me always seemed incredibly fair. Most small tier art is just ignored over attacked unless it's really bad.
that doesn´t require so much mystery. Derpimods having a mental breakdown on their meta decisions is almost a tradition that barely surprises anyone at this point. I guess that happened because of requests from sensible users that didn´t want to have any negative reception towards their own work.
Getting rid of downvotes would make them even weaker. Disliking/hating on something is natural despite not being the most desirable thing. Like you say, low tier stuff gets ignored and about 85% of the images don´t reach 20 or 30 downvotes. They may not get any praise but they could get ignored and not receive any negative reception either. Only cringy/obnoxious stuff can drive to a lot of thumbs down.

>but that regardless looks pretty damning. It's not even a year from the current sudden turn around.
about that topic, yeah, this is probably the strangest event that one can report from their practices.
