What about all these original the characters who have nothing to do with the show?

They're still technically part of the show/fandom thingy, no?

do we even use the _(mlp) suffix on original characters?

What about the characters from the previous shows? FiM is more widely known, but the franchise itself dates back to the 80's. As for original characters, I imagine that they would need a suffix of some sort if they shared a name with other, more popular, characters

We shouldn't, but it still happens sometimes.

MLP style characters should be tagged as such even if they arent in the show :/

Agreed, provided style of artwork rivals that of the show and character could visibly pass as one of the mlp crew. Dont want any pony becoming mlp tagged do we?

i have no problem tagging OC's with MLP, since so many people have it blacklisted. What doesn't make sense to me is tagging them friendship_is_magic when they have nothing to do with the show other than art style.

Disagree, style shouldn't be counted:
1) There's various MLP styles, FiM is only the current style.
2) Characters from the FiM series can be drawn in a different style, but should still be tagged FiM.

On a seperate note, I've advocated for a *_(style) tag, but it'd be an exceedingly major tagging project if we were to accept those types of tags.

Part of My Little Pony, not part of FiM.

True enough. Point taken.

I can agree to that, I'm not a fan of MLP or FIM so I didn't really care to think there was much of a difference. To clarify I was just talking about FIM being tagged as such.

I wouldn't mind seeing FIM fan art if it was clever or something, maybe we should just have a separate tag for faust's style? like Fausts_FIM to distinguish between original fan art or current FIM style
