Topic for people who like MLP:FiM

Also on trolls: if I can walk away and start diving off into an entire library of things unrelated to what I was being trolled on, they've won because now I'm too distracted to notice what I was pissed off about in the first place and it'll ignite me ALL OVER AGAIN. Or something like that?

Serious business.

is that e1m1

So...

...Have you guys heard about the "Dark Skyes (Brony dating sim) scam?

[DoomRater]

Not a lick of it. However the idea of booping Twilight in the nose to a hummed e1m1 is pretty funny...

i wish people would stop using the word "autism" as a slur, honestly.

[Breezeep]

I agree with what you said, Viscra, but while I was browsing tumblr, I found this.

I have autism myself, but not severe. I just can't even believe that Autism speaks, an organization that thinks autism is a disease that can be "cured" Is actually killing people who have autism and aspergers...

...I feel for those with those disabilities especially myself.

i had not heard of this movement before, and scarily enough i'm not surprised that such a radical movement does exist (i also have a mild diagnosed case of it, by the way). is AS an international movement or restricted to the US or whatnot?

[Breezeep]

I'm not very sure about that.

[DoomRater]

Looks US oriented, not sure if they have their fingers anywhere else.

I really liked this recent episode with Maude Pie. I'm not sure if seasons 3 and 4 are not sub-par all together and everything can only get better from mediocrity, or if every episode had something interesting and unique and meaningful but to the same degree as the surrounding episodes such that they lack an ability to be better or worse in any meaningful way. Oh I should probably take a breath now.

Seeing Maude actually smile at that last scene was gold. "I may not like candy, but I sure do love Pinkie Pie."

@ShadowTiger:
I wouldn't call the S3 and 4 episodes better or worse. However, I think many of them convey confusing messages (to children) and/or aren't all that well thought through. Take the latest Maud episode, for example - the episode would have been perfect if it ended with Maud saying she probably won't become friends with the rest of M6 and cutting her Ponyville visit short. I mean, doesn't that happen all the time? You simply don't become friends with people with radically different attitudes or life values; even nerdy Twilight becoming friends (let alone Elements of Harmony) with noisy, obnoxious and irrational Pinkie wouldn't be very probable (in the real world). The actual ending (we are all Pinkie's friends, which automatically makes us friends with each other) therefore feels not only forced, but also totally wrong.

Also, don't forget that when something (including TV shows) is new to people, it tends to feel much more attractive than after 3 years of air time.

On a side note, it still amazes me how the show's animators can use simple techniques to a great effect. Take Maud's thick S-shaped eyelids, for example (normal pony eyelids are thinner and oval-shaped). Just a simple design change, but it made her look exotic and mysterious.

A new version of Ponyvania just came out.

EDIT: I found something MLP-related in Doomworld's Post Hell. Apparently, liking ponies at Doomworld is more likely to land you in a shitstorm.

OH CRAP! AWFUL!
It was bound to happen eventually, I guess, maybe, ... ... was it? I mean I know full well that Hasbro was in their rights to do this, but ... ... geez. Poor JanAnimations. Worked so hard on those, and was enjoyed by so many.
