Topic: Wrongful deletion (Humans only in an MLP drawing)

Posted under e621 Tools and Applications

I’m not the artist behind https://e621.net/posts/5110134 but I saw after I commented that the post had been deleted, with a really weird report message: Irrelevant to site (Human only picture)

That’s weird because it was My little pony’s celestia, of course in anthro form, but it was still a picture of a horse, to delete this would imply deleting a ton of other similar drawings wouldn’t it?

The image shows a character that could be an anthro horse but is visually indistinguishable from a human with very pale skin and tattoos given the angle. We only consider a post relevant in similar cases when there is proof of different species like fur or claws.

I guess the various pony Boorus wouldn't delete it. Yeah, the humanoid issue is kind of frustrating. You can't actually 'tell' that her hair is a horse-style mane or tail. You don't see anything other than a cutey mark to know she's supposed to be an anthro horse. I can see where this was argued to be too human, from. Don't know what else to tell ya. :(

Also, if part of a set/comic with POVs where you can tell. Same as the rare human_only posts that are allowed because of being in a (primarily) furry comic.
