Discussion: Why Do People Hate Anthro Clop?

ponyclopstash:

Adding in my 2 cents to this, I believe it’s because those who hate anthro has been probably exposed to crappy art. Mind you anthro art is saturated and it can be rather difficult to find the good from the bad unless you have a general sense of which artists you should follow. It could also be that for the first time someone who looks up anthro ponies has only been exposed to extreme kinks. The type of kinks that they don’t like and sadly believe that that’s what anthro is all about. That perhaps they are disgusted at the mere sight of the pony’s head attached to a body with human proportions is another valid reason. It is not a bad thing that anthro exists within MLP. I consider that a good thing. The “hate” on anthro is something I can honestly care less when it isn’t even a big deal to begin with (at least on my end).

While I vastly prefer the pony form of clop, anthro is actually a type of pony art that has grown on me in response to the exposure I get on a daily basis. Though when I really think about it (keeping in mind that I only have a vague sense of what anthro is based upon the art I stumbled upon), anthro to me is a change of body type that either can sometimes be really sexy or a visual representation of how the artist views the pony as in “anthro form”

I like anthro because of colorful butts and boobies ok?

Thanks for your response. Adding to the “uncanny valley” idea, a thing that turns me off about some anthro clop is lack of breasts. Sometimes a female anthropomorphic pony isn’t given breasts. This can be done well, but it’s more difficult than with breasts, and a lot of times it seems even loli-like. (I mentioned this in the previous discussion.)

Too-easy plug: If you’re looking for an idea of anthro clop you can check out #anthro on my blog. I don’t post lots of kinks (though futanari is probably the one that will turn the most people off).
