My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

>implying this is the only time you've shat on the show in this thread

The fact that other bronies are complaining about the situation doesn't change the fact that, as someone who doesn't care for the show or its characters, you shouldn't even be posting in here. You're using the actual bronies' complaints as an incredibly hollow and loose justification for your own passive-aggressive bitching.

And that's bloody awful, so just stop and leave this thread forever.

The 'My Little Pony Friendship is Magic' series has always been about acceptance and inclusion, and the series strives to convey that through the playful antics of a diverse cast of characters," Hasbro spokeswoman Nicole Angello told us over email. "Some viewers felt that aspects of the episode 'The Last Roundup' did not stay true to the core message of friendship which is the heart and soul of the series. Hasbro Studios decided to make slight audio alterations to this single episode.

...So they they helped convey a message of acceptance and inclusion... by removing Derpy's individual traits.

...Does anyone else see anything WRONG with this?!

Yes. You aren't accepting or tolerating the fact that they decided to do this.

Oh shut your freaking face, don't give me any of that. *grumpy*

I'm more upset about WHY the modified Derpy than what actually happened to Derpy, because it says something very negative about what we expect from female characters.

A woman can not be dumb unless she's a blonde, because of the stereotype that blondes are dumb, hence the fact that nopony had a problem with Snails.

HAVING SAID ALL THAT TO JAVELIN

Oh shut your freaking face, don't give me any of that. *grumpy*

you are nonetheless being an immense overemotional and elitist twat about this. A bunch of bullshit happens about a single background character you're deeply in love with that has nothing to do with her gender, and you claim it "says something very negative about what we expect from female characters"? And the entire cast of female characters that aren't sexist or derogatory don't exist, then?

Get over yourself.

*tells user to shut up about a topic*
*says same thing as user*

 

[Pokemon DP]

You fuck off. Smashgoom and Javelin are on two completely opposite extremes of this argument, and I'm going to tell them both to shut up as often as it takes for them both to stop trying to ruin the fun for the rest of the fans here.

 

[Nabber]

Aren't you the one who said that only bronies should post here?

 

[Pokemon DP]

Nice job completely ignoring the point of my arguments against Javelin! I said passive-aggressive cunts trying to worm their hatred of the show into the thread shouldn't post. Smashgoom's over-the-top emotional fixation with the show is pretty much indistinguishable from passive-aggressive hatred in my eyes, so there.

 

[Magikrazy]

People! People! Calm down! Remember, love and toler-
Oh, who am I kidding? That's not gonna work.

Anyways, Dippy is right. You guys need to both stop being opposite extremes, and either meet in the middle, or leave bad enough alone!

 

[Lily x]

Oh god I smell a flame war brewing... So I'm going to change the topic.
I have now caught up.

 

[Magikrazy]

That's great news! Anyone concur?

Half of this thread has been posted in the last 3 months :O

Well it helps to have had about 10 episodes to discuss in those past 3 months. Each one taking up at least 2 pages or more from excitement from the episode to the actual point where the episode aired, to the aftermath where everybody expresses their thoughts on the episode. And some of us to start some discussion afterwards on other matters related to the show.

You're forgetting your own motto "Love and Tolerance".

Pwned, bronies. Pwned.

That's... not really pwned.

That's... not really a serious post.

sir, i bow to you. your humor is much more cryptic than mine. using a common internet term and saying something that doesn't contradict what you usually say is much more baffling than any of my jokes.


if you like you can change your user title to 'messed up freakshow of cryptic sarcasm' to signify your inheritance of the title


EDIT: oh fuck i'm late, this conversation ended last page

er, sorry

 

[SonicMario]

If you're still concerned about the Derpy thing. I suggest you read this message from the Writer of the episode (Amy Keating Rogers). It should give all the closure you need.

Now let's get into discussing the Fluttershy episode. Anyone have any guesses how Iron Will is going to be portrayed? I said before that because in an extended sypnosis he was referred to as a Guru he'd be like an Asian master.

I didn't say anything against the show in that post.

But eh this really not going anywhere nice, so whatever. I propose a draw of sorts.

awesome.

*actually changes his title*

Anyone have any guesses how Iron Will is going to be portrayed?

I'm sure this will demonstrate how little I know what you're talking about, but wasn't Iron Will some movie about a dogsled race in Alaska?

But Derpy IS blonde!

But, anyway, I'm TRYING to move on, like seen in this video:

But I JUST read an e-mail from Amy Keaton Rogers, the writer of The Last Roundup, and I'm even MORE pissed off. A whooping 10 angry e-mails compared to 200 positive ones, and my displeasure over what happened to Derpy is not that they changed Derpy. Hell, I LIKED this voice over the other one, which I can now safely say I absolutely loathed in comparison, good intentions and misunderstandings from Tabitha St. Germain not withstanding, but I don't like how she's not called "Derpy" and they slightly fixed her crossed eyes.

Now, who ARE these people who were offended? Were they bronies? Did they know about Derpy beforehand? Or were they just about of average people with mentally disabled family members who... somehow got her e-mail address? If it's the latter kind, I can't really blame them for getting upset, seeing as they had no idea who she was, or what she was meant to be (a hat-tip and shout-out to bronies).

If it WAS Bronies complaining, then I have nothing but contempt for them.

And like I said before, or at least implied, is that censoring the scene has WORSE implications then the original scene, because it basically says, yeah, that scene WAS bad, and now they're fixing it, when really, it was just ONE SCENE out of an entire series filled with plenty of offensive material that doesn't get cut or censored!

Really, though, I don't think Derpy really means "retarded", or anything to imply that someone is just being silly or stupid, since the name kind of originated with Matt Stone and Trey Parker using it to describe stupid/silly things. However, the name, coupled with the voice, a slow, overly masculine voice, as well as the eyes, MIGHT give the implication that she is mentally disablied. If she just had a softer, lighter, more ditzy voice, it probably would have went over a lot better.

But even still, so WHAT if she's mentally disabled? Yeah, she has cross-eyes and messes stuff up? So what? Are you saying you'd rather not have them exist? I don't see ANYTHING offensive about her or them, or how you can interpret it as offensive. They're not outright saying "this is how mentally disabled people act in real life", hell, they never even USE that word (except for Derpy, which might I remind you, doesn't necessarily mean retarded), and even if they did, it's still funny! you know why? Because it's a cute pony with goofy eyes messing stuff up! It's adorable, it's funny, and at the same time, she's being sincere, she's NOT trying to hurt ANYONE with what she's doing (at least not intentionally), this is NOT some hate-filled message to say mean-spirited things about the mentally handicapped.

Really, it's like those Religious people who get offended if so much as any word from the Bible gets mentioned, regardless of context or useage, and really, I have to ask why? Why get offended? In the end, it only ends up making you feel back and ruining the experience for everyone else! Just ignore it and move on, for Christ's sake!

...And with that rant off my chest, I, hopefully, will move on from this.

Just one more question about the Derpy thing. Did they change it only on iTunes?

We don't know yet. Sources say the DVD "Friendship Express" has The Last Roundup completely unedited though and The Last Roundup hasn't aired on The Hub since the day it aired.

 

[Magikrazy]

I just checked my cousin's on-demand (he has Xfinity). He has The Last Roundup, and it's not edited at all (no voice change, "Derpy" said, eyes in original position).

Yeah the on-demand copies remained with the original as well.

There will always be Episodes up on Youtube somewhere. There's always the occasional takedowns but dedicated Bronies will always put them up. What episodes do you need to see?

 

[Brock]

Everything after the discord episodes.
