>Now I'm curious about the intended context of that image you found though...The artist's style is familiar but not quite enough to place it with other works I'd have run across.
the artist is who drew that image is dashy21: https://ponybooru.org/tags/artist-colon-dashy21

but yeah, it looks that it would come from other few artists instead. I expected to find in his gallery popular images oft¡ that style and the faces almost are presented in the same manner. So, I don´t know exactly what are the contemporaries that would draw in the same way.

>I don't know but it would likely have been season three or earlier.
out of 65 episodes, it´s hard to take a guess. At least, if he had mentioned a specific character, then I would have attempted to discover where the problem was located for him in the first place although...

>it's quite possible, though this is a bit of a wild guess, that he could have been under perception altering substances when he tried watching.
that could justify why he would hear painful voices during those periods of alteration.

>Of course, and along with 'MLP is a furry show/world' I get that I'm in the minority with that opinion ... but is the opinion I hold.
well, to an extent, I can understand why you would take this position although the furry term feels at time like an attempt to capture all the fictional creatures that have human characteristics but not in the way that you present in those images (characters like Capper or Celaeno would fit for that association). That´s what I complain the most about it, the intrusion of the concept shoehorned for everything and include it as part of the furry culture when the term lacks any actual meaning and doesn´t affect the core circles. All that I see from those places are...the fursona. That and the love for humanizations of animals, especially cats. Nothing else comes to my mind from there and if you mean that the anthro artstyle is crystallized, well, too broad to even call it furry.

If everything is furry, then nothing is. That lack of specificity is something that I will never understand and the obsession to try to catch everything...that attitude feels reluctant to the rest, even to those franchises that are included as furry yet they want to know nothing about them. Also, I must say that I did a tour on the furry tag on the boorus out of curiosity, about a handful of images are good. The rest of the images within that furry tag are....well, let´s say that they are unrelated to the universe artstyle and feel "off", especially the OCs (and I am sounding generous). I gave a tour throughout the entirety of that tag last month and barely a page or two have images over 100 upvotes.
