What do I think is interesting?

I was able to get into the gallery of it and find "[Download] Pony Male Model", and while the model itself wasn't cached, the description and comments were.

And the description of this one links to another deviantart that's STILL ALIVE but hasn't posted since 2024 afaik

(I can tell this is the same account as well b/c the snapshot of the link in the pony body male above has a specific fluttershy art cached that's still available on kp-shadowsquirrel's live deviantart page to this day)

Searching pony_model (the exact phrase used in the firewarrior cached description) i was able to find this :D

Which says they were made in maya and zbrush, and credits another user (Mircea Kitsune) with making rigged versions for blender. The blendswap link to download the rigged blender versions is very broken, but taking it back to the wayback machine we do get a comment by MirceaKitsune saying her version was just an updated posable/eye posable version of Cheerilee's version here:

which DOES credit back to kp-shadowsquirrel's deviantart :D so we know it was probably kp-shadowsquirrel who made the original models from this set that were so prevelant around 2012 and then edited/turned into bases eventually used for other ponies/other creations.

cant stop thinking about this video its driving me insane. scariest object ever made. looked it up w friends in a discord call and found out its like fucking eight feet tall and made of solid metal

Ríhanna Kelver, a bartender and trans rights advocate in Laramie, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent after a 13 September 2025 confrontation outside the Crowbar & Grill, whereshe worked. Kelver could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted on both charges.

Despite Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” statute, which allows people to use reasonable force in moments of self defense, Kelver faces up to 15 years in prison for both charges, as well as up to $11,000 in fines, per Cowboy State Daily. Kelver faces an additional year and $1,000 fine for a charge of interference with a peace officer. [...]

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
