>that reaction pic
Fleur must have seen some weird stuff lately.
>this stuff will still happen and be passed around the chans anyway. Heck, if we made it a meme pic that went even have way viral within the fandom it be uploaded.

So, you are saying that we could shitpost it without taking any identity nor property into it and just leaving it out there on its luck. It´s a good tactic indeed and I think it will be done for some edits around here. Not a big proportion, just a few selected ones to pick because this thread is mostly to fill it with content and make random and pics for fun, mostly like >>1643,>>1621,>>1331 or edited for the purpose of a fic to set its own tone (see Novo´s one, I edited those to give a different feeling). Like you said, everything is derivative and MLP has arrived to its own unique circle after getting inspired or catching things from here and there.
Nonetheless, whenever, the thing goes serious and it does indeed show a noteworthy quality to watch like you have reviewed on >>1620 for >>1600, then yeah, it should be applied (not to mention,I like fairly critic reactions or review to what I make) because it gives a new vibe or value added to it. Not a copy but more like an option to enjoy it.

Your tactic reminds me of William Gosset, posting its work under a pseudonym or going under an average anonymous without the rest noticing that it was from one of them.
Who is Gosset? He worked in Guiness and when you work in a company, you don´t own anything. He knew that they were using a way to use statistics under that company and they didn´t want any kind of leaks. He made the works and thesis of how the statistic process goes and he, instead of posting it under the name of William Gosset, he put it as a "t" of Student. His works were published going under as a random student that investigated and it would be like a fictional project at the of its career. The information was leaked and he didn´t care about its fame. Eventually his name was revealed but he is lesser known for its actual name and more like a "Student". I mention this because this is a particular story in which, while the editors can get revealed and seem like content thieves, they are the same editors all the time that go as usual.

That should fairly sum up the process if we go to the shitposting route. Someone else will post it on Derpi as a background Pony or average user but the original ones will not get revealed in the short term....nor care that much about fame anyway. My life won´t improve at all after 9000 edits anyway.

>when it is already derivative content of a character the don't own. Not to mention our fandom's heritage is half from /b/.
yep, /b/ + /co/. That´s the actual spirit and base of this fandom. The rest are myths or a different branch out of them. The most famous images of this franchise were anonymously spammed and nobody has claimed them...FiM started as a public circlejerk between 4 faggots who liked it. The rest is history.
