9131505 One: Completely agree with your point. Two: How much money do you think Zephyr's new laptop will cost? Cause Fluttershy is gonna break his current one.
Would that even work though? I mean, as far as we know, it's not as if she's using it for any monetary gaining. Not sure if you can effectively sue her if it's just private pictures she drew.
9131535 (Disclaimer: the following is not legal advice and should not be taken as such. If you do take it as such, you are a moron and I am not responsible for your actions.)
Merits aside, the remedy for violation of the right of publicity is a legal remedy (meaning a money judgment), and as a rule high school students tend to be judgment-proof. Going to court here accomplishes nothing other than tossing years of your life and thousands of dollars in court costs away, all for a nice judgment you can hang up on your wall.
For the same reason, no lawyer is going to want this case. Plaintiffs' lawyers typically work on contingency, so if there's no prospect that a defendant will actually pay a judgement at the end of a case, there's nothing in it for them. Unless you can find a lawyer willing to work for free, or you are willing to get stiffed on a pay-as-you-go retainer (which will likely run into the high five figures or low six figures), you'll have to do all the grunt work of litigation yourself, working out of a pro se handbook.
Really, Fluttershy would be better served swinging by Watermelody's house with a two-by-four.
9131584 Never mind the Streisand Effect, where the images in question would have to be entered into evidence and made public record, defeating the purpose of trying to stop them.
Meanwhile, Mr. Shy silently walks in, blushes furiously and silently backs away without any of his children even realizing
"Yeah," Zephyr said, sighing. "You got no idea how many awesome pics and videos I find that are ruined by a big gross dick that's got no business bein' there. It sucks!"
THANK YOU!
Er... I mean, I can sympathize with that feeling of disappointment and betrayal?
There is something you're all missing about this. I don't recall if it's been stated that Fluttershy is 18, but if not, as a high school student she probably isn't. This makes using her resemblance in this form of art problematic.
9131699 Not really. We did consider it, but since the perp was the same age as flutters you have to apply different rules. If it was an adult drawing that, I'd have to agree with you, but since they are all high school kids, it's a different matter.

9131804 They're engaging with your story. Would you rather a few tumbleweeds rolled by the comments section?
I have to say it kind of bugs me that Fluttershy automatically agrees with Zephyr and is treated by the narration as objectively right when it comes to decrying futa as disgusting. Zephyr's a douche, but Fluttershy is Kindness, and there are real people who look like that. Their bodies aren't gross or perverted; they just are.
Plus from a character point of view, she's shown to be pretty damn permissive and kinky herself in this very fic, even if she doesn't act on it. I find it hard to believe that, being friends with Rainbow, she's never run across futa before.
9131804 Sorry, when I wrot my comment I had resently read the latest chapter for The Book of Sunlight wher this is weary much a part of the discussions in the comment section, all in good fun.
Again sorry if you took offence and I will remove my previus comment if you wish.
Wow MM. Life troubles recently or something? That's more than a little harsh - you've been here long enough to know people will use the comments section for what it is meant to be used for: their thoughts on the story's writing and situations involved in the story. They are doing as they're supposed to without flaming you/your work, and you even tagged Zim who was setting them straight.
Also seems a bit unnecessary, this chapter can come off as something Cunning_Linguist commissioned, so the fact you've only got people wondering about the legality of what went on instead of getting pissed over the characters going on a mutual futa-bash is, honestly, kind of a blessing. I scrolled down dreading walking into that firefight to see it didn't exist and was thankful.
You okay man?

9131804 I wasn't after pedantic nonsense. I honestly just thought a halfway decent point was brought up, and decided to say I agreed. Sorry if it seemed otherwise. I actually don't know what pedantic means.
Still think Fluttershy was one image away from trashing Zephyr's laptop, though...
Zephyr Breeze and his friends are creeps to Fluttershy and her friends. But this is still funny would have loved to see Fluttershy kick hiss ass for this, great story I always look forward to seeing the next chapter.

Obviously the best way for Fluttershy to get revenge is to get Watermelody to draw pics of Zephyr and his friends engaging in acts with each other. And making sure that they get the pics.
9132330 That would punish everyone but the person who drew the picture(s), Watermelody herself. One of Zephyr's "loser friends" as Fluttershy called her.
The perils of going to a public school funded by a quirky multibilionaire. Weird peoples get supported in their strange activities. Some are simply ahead of the curve like Zukerberg, or before their time like Van Gogh, while other have a exclusive niche of perversion they cather to like "age-regression futa muscle-growth scat" artists .
Some days, it just don't pay to get up in the morning. Less so, when you're learning just how much porn there is of you and your friends. Time to sick Sunset on the fools.
Sometimes, I wonder if the first form of futa art mentioned (Well drawn female up until you get to the downstairs) gained in popularity as a prank back in ye olde days of dialup.
Y'see, pictures wouldn't load that quickly and would instead load from the top down. You'd link your target to the picture and they'd wait and get all heated up, only to discover a MASSIVE VEINY, THROBBING COCK SPURTING SEMEN EVERYWHERE when the picture finished loading.
Someone needs to remind Full Mast that Futa is not everyone's fetish. I'm guessing that Zephyr would probably do this by bombarding Full Mast with something he knows Full Mast doesn't care for.
Flutters seems to appreciate the work that went into it. She just has a problem with it featuring people she knows and sees everyday (That line about Scootaloo and Apple Bloom making out underneath the bleachers does seem to underscore how awkward tomorrow is going to be around Applejack).
If it's crudely done (like with that last picture involving a Power Ponies pic crudely 'shopped to imply that it is Flutters and friends underneath the masks), then she's furious, as not only does it involve her and her friends, but it shows that minimal effort was put into the attempt at being funny.
9131831 There are a number of things that I want to say about this post, but for MM's sake, I'll stick with the one that is least likely to draw heat:
The revulsion of seeing a futa is equivalent to that of seeing an unsolicited dick pic. It has nothing to do with opposition to penises in general or hermaphrodites and transsexuals in particular.
For once, I agree with Zephyr, in regards to the proportions. It’s bothersome to see someone refer to all of it as “disgusting” when there are in fact females with such anatomy, though it’s also bothersome to see that fetishized.
Either way, probably my least favorite chapter because of the majority of Fluttershy’s dialogue. Hopefully I enjoy the next
9182106 Yeah, I recall Mythril once saying that, while he was chill with futa, it was like, oversized futa he wasn't down with. Hell, its the same with male characters, where they get ridickulous penises
OOOOOKayy,
one: lawsuit for useing someones image in anyform of midia whitout consent,
two: this Watermelody is about to have a bad day come tomorow.

I think Watermelody is going to be in tons of trouble very shortly. At least Zephyr knows the sage advice of knowing when to run.

His first mistake was having his email set up to instantly display images the moment he gets them.
Oh looooord, Flutters, listen to an old man's advice...
No one will know what happened to the body.
Your friend, Dustchu.
Good show Moth, lol
Badly done photoshops are the worse!
Tell Sunset to stop posing for her.

Well then what was the point? If this many people agree on the message and it isn't what you intended maybe it wasn't that clear.

What would be the point? The damage is done. Just...maybe try to "read the room" a little better in the future?

So is Fluttershy against futa in general or just it being badly done or added to people she knows?
9131877
Don't poke the bear.
I'll leave my thoughts there and will not get into a discussion about them, out of respect for Moth.
I read these fics for the humor and the plot. Moth does a great job.
That's just too funny only thing to make it better was if it had been twi sending the art under nerdgirl or something

Well that was weird. I thought I commented on this chapter this morning before I went to sleep..
I just thought it was interesting after the tweets last night leading into this chapter.
9132330
That would punish everyone but the person who drew the picture(s), Watermelody herself. One of Zephyr's "loser friends" as Fluttershy called her.
The really sad thing is that this is the closest these two have come to sibling bonding in months.
Sorry you had to see that, Fluttershy. Maybe you should delete all that from his computer, and then change the password for good measure.

The dialup prank theory makes a lot of sense!
I'm disgusted by the blatant anti-futa bias I'm seeing here.

9131831
Going with what 9136162 said. Noone like an unsolicited / surprise dickpic.
It's one thing if a person is into that niche market of pron, but noone likes getting porn that isn't there type repeatedly spammed to them.
For once, I agree with Zephyr, in regards to the proportions. It’s bothersome to see someone refer to all of it as “disgusting” when there are in fact females with such anatomy, though it’s also bothersome to see that fetishized.

9135141
I don't think it’s the futa, it might be exaggerated futa art that is being dissed
Oh you better run Zephyr, because Flutterhulk wants a word with you,
9131699
The assumption of all sex-related stories on this site is that everyone involved is 18 or older.
9182106
Yeah, I recall Mythril once saying that, while he was chill with futa, it was like, oversized futa he wasn't down with. Hell, its the same with male characters, where they get ridickulous penises
