What some people see as bait others see as humor, and some of the stuff I laugh at makes other people angry or sad. So I don’t know where that line is at outside of the context of our rules, and right now I don’t see any rules being broken by this artist.
But if you think this image is breaking a rule, please report it and staff will review it and will vote on it. I’m just one voice out of a couple dozen in that vote, so I don’t know what the outcome will be, but for me this seems more self-deprecating than bait. I see the artist repurposing this audio to laugh at themself.
And if you don’t think it’s breaking a rule, but just don’t like it, please either ignore it or filter it.
If you are talking about the concept of liking or not liking ponies, or talking about how to implement filters, or talking about how people should or should not this or that, or talking about the various so-called ‘leaks’ for G6, then you aren’t talking about this work or the artist’s work.
If you want to talk about everything except for this specific image or this artist’s work, then please use the forums. There’s most likely a thread waiting for you. If not, make one. If you want to talk about whether we should or should not allow off topic comments on fanart, then the forum you’re looking for is Site & Policy, where you are very welcome to debate with people who are also interested in those themes to your heart’s content.

I think it’s healthy for the community to ponies. Every single [insert pony]-hate post should be accompanied by many posts expressing their love for [insert pony]. I like the AJ/Rarity right now, although I still catch some people saying good riddance calling them you-know-what.
@mjangelvortex
I think you should be able to filter them all with the orphan tag (or more specifically a complex filter with artist:crookedbeetles, orphan (or even more specifically artist:crookedbeetles, orphan, (applejack OR apple bloom OR big macintosh) if you don’t want to miss out on Scootaloo orphan jokes or something)).

Also I appreciate that you all don’t like the Starlight Glimmer hate posts - they don’t really align with my views either - but please don’t comment complaining about them all the time. Either filter them with starlight drama or don’t engage with them.
@Mr.Myoozik
Agreed. Same for the Applejack is an orphan joke. And unlike the Starlight hate, there’s no tag to filter out for that one. It was funny the first one or two times but it’s getting on my nerves.

I like Crooked Beetles’ work, her videos are funny most of the time but the constant Starlight hate is pretty annoying. I don’t care that she dislikes her, but it being brought up so much is what I take issue with, it’s just obnoxious

Edited because: more context

But Beetle hates Starlight anyway, so…
