Pony Corral / Re: Fashion style Ditzy Doo/ :muffin: Pony

« on: May 30, 2012, 08:34:36 PM »

Pony is meme pony who started out as an animation error/joke (the eyes) who got so popular with the lolrandom bunch that the studio in chase of internet fame decided to keep her that way. Since then a great amount of fanon depicting her with all sorts of mental damage and muffin obsessions has surfaced.

The controversy stems from her (superfluous) appearance in season 2 where she had horrible voice acting, was called by her fanon name and was widely interpreted as making fun of mentally handicapped people.

I wonder if Hasbro can conjure another storm by catering to the (mostly) obnoxious crowd the same way the studio did.

Ugh, Neonbrights reminds me of one of those sock-fetish ponies that have been popping up on certain dreadful places lately.

Pink glittery blindbag Twilight Sparkle.
Not exactly über-rare. But it's something.

I also don't like shows where they have to constantly emasculate the local male population to make the female characters look better. That's sexism against men.

Because you know what the biggest issue in today's culture (popular and otherwise) is? Sexism against men. There was such a long period of time where men couldn't vote, and they got paid less than women, and ...

Oh, wait.

My lady, I humbly request to subscribe to your newsletter.

As for the shipping, I remember hilarious whines in the more randumb fanon chatrooms from fanonists and shippers when Big Macintosh was paired with Cheerilee in the Valentines Day episode instead of their prefered mare, sister or colt (Caramel having a girlfriend only made things worse for them)

They're cute, but why did they write on the side of the pony like that? They could have put that under the feet or at least under the belly.
They got their Cutie Marks from doing factory inspection.

My assumption was they're really good at being mass-produced clones.
Like the Replicas from the Fear games.
Hm, if the fakies had a male version, they could be called Replicolts.

The Bronies improved MLP they deserve for this pony to be made. Don`t complain about this.

And that's why some folks think bronies suffer from entitlement issues.

Pony Corral / Re: Do you like keeping/collecting ponies in their original package?

« on: May 28, 2012, 12:18:16 PM »

Nope, I have them unboxed and lined up for display.

I only collect G4s anyway and they'll never be worth anything in my lifetime

The usual reply you get to that question these days is putting the blame on the stores.
Common belief is that Hasbro made her pink to please toy-stores who thought a white horse wouldn't sell. Not sure how much truth there is to that theory.
It would however explain why Celestia turned white now that Hasbro has an actual pink (mary sue-ish) princess with an entire commercial episode dedicated to her...
