I have the same beef with drawings of genderbent Discord with a super cute bob, super shortened muzzle, and kawaii desu large, lashy eyes.
Ironic you mention that, as I was literally about to make another post about just that, because it’s a thing people do all the time with him that I’ve never understood. It’s like. Come on. Discord is an old man. He’s portrayed by and BASED on a man in his sixties.
Well, I’m lying. I understand it all right. Women are viewed in this fandom as, by and large, eye candy. If you make a human MLP design that’s not idealistically beautiful for a white straight male audience, be ready for a storm of “WELL THAT’S NOT WHAT IIIIIIII THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK LIKE” if your work gets enough exposure.
Not to say nobody else does it; after all, the original designer of the (in)famous Eris design is a young woman themselves. I dunno. It’s a culmination of a lot of really toxic views on women and aging that’d take a while to dig into.
