OH MY~

That... angers me somewhat, and I'm usually neutral when it comes to humanizations...

@ Ace, what kind of prank would lead to that discovery?

Wait, canon Diamond Tiara is about twelve in human years, right?

@CDRW: Something involving feathers or perhaps painted on graffiti?

Actually, I'd call her and the CMC closer to like, 10, at best. Girl hit puberty around that age, so...

Why does it anger you?

^If there were any explanation that didn't involve A) Diamond Tiara having to become a showgirl to stay financially solvent B) Filthy Rich employing his daughter as a showgirl C) implying that Diamond is built like that during that scene in the episode...

...You know what, there's just a lot wrong with that picture. I have no issue with pictures of attractive women in attractive clothing (and states of lacking it), but something just feels skeezy about that picture.

It's the sexualization of a clearly underage character, with a bunny suit no less. We should probably drop the topic here and now though, because it's not a pretty one.

Yep, that pretty much its the nail on the head.

Well! I'm off to bed friends! See you in the morrow!

G'night, L Mage.

Good night, Mage.

@Red: how about DT being upset because her daddy just ruined her naughty teen party?

'Night, Mage.

I think that picture would bug me a bit more if she didn't look so...physically mature. Granted, it's still pretty creepy and suspect given the original context, but if I had to guess I'd say the artist was going more for "this is what would have happened if DT was older" rather than actually trying to sexualize an underage character. As...skeevy as that picture is, she doesn't look at all underage. Of course, there are still the other unsavory implications of exactly why she's dressed like that and why she's blaming her dad for it, but I think we might be reading too much into it and the artist was just making the jump from "bunny suit" to "Playboy Bunny" as a joke.

^I suppose so - at the very least, it's not preteen Diamond in a playboy bunny outfit. That would require retribution of some sort.

You are now seeing Granny Smith in the same outfit.

Young!Smith? ...continue.

^Well played.

Luckily for me, I am incapable of imagining humanizations on my own, so I can't really form that image. But still, ewwwwwwwwwwww...

My first thought was "Young Granny Smith? Sure." But then you posted it first. But yeah, if she actually looked as old as she is in the show that picture would be some serious Squick

Aaaaand my mind just went to Mrs. Cake in a bunny suit. Not sure how I feel about that.

Anyway, trying to make a former Anonymous such myself reach for the Brain Bleach takes some ingenuity. Nice try though

Please don't intrude on her bedroom life with Mr Cake D:

The Cakes are too old to be having children! They're probably going to get lots of awkward moments when strange ponies assume they're the grandparents.

^^(I'm going to hell for this)You know they're all about food play.

^Oh, come on, they're not that old. I'd put them at 34-35 at the latest, and that's how old my parents were when I was born.

Really? I put them mid to late 40's.

@Red: for shame, we shouldn't intrude on a clearly happily-married couple

Really, there's so much Vague Age in this show that that they could really be pretty much anything from 30-50. I tend to envision them in their late 30's, which works out pretty well.
