What happened with PinkiePony?

Recommended Posts

So lately I've heard things about this PinkiePony girl, and that a lot of bronies hate her.

 

Now, lets be clear: I'm not trying to cause a flame war here. Whether she's right or not, I don't know. I'm just curious as to why so many people hate her exactly. All over the internet different things are being said, and I don't know what's the truth or where to find it. I know the basics, that she made sure that the web cartoon ''Princess Molestia'' was put away, but many bronies also claim that she also made on the edge kind of work, so I don't know what to believe

She's a teenage girl that bronies simply gave way too much of a shit about.

 

Molestia got shut down because Hasbro filed a C&D, which they had more than enough reason to do on their own.

Just a pre-emptive post here - this was a very sensitive topic when it occurred and many people here are opinionated about this. The topic itself is valid, and deserves to be discussed. That said, please remember to be civil about this. 

 


 

I am a huge advocate of free speech (not talking about US Constitutional Law since that does not apply here), however that includes IP property rights. Meaning, if Hasbro felt that the Molestia was potentially damaging to their brand they have every right to request a take down. While I have no issues with the account existing, I also do not fault those that feel it should be taken down and reached out to Hasbro. Just my pragmatic thoughts on the issue.

What I bolded can't be said enough. This is a good chance to at least tell those who may not be familiar with the situation what had happened. It's fine to have an opinion on it, but let's be thoughtful and calm. :)

 

But yeah, my thoughts pretty much echo Jeric's here. I'll be honest in saying that I followed the blog and even found it funny from time to time, but I can understand why Hasbro may have wanted it taken down, and I can understand why some fans may not have appreciated the NSFW nature of said blog.

 

In the end, the point is that Celestia is a property of Hasbro, and if they feel that certain depiction of their character from an outside outside clashes with how they feel she should be, then they have every right to request it's closure. PinkiePony, IIRC, got a lot of hate from certain segments of the fandom, which is a bit unfair. I do remember plenty of people laying the blame on her.

 

In the end, at least the artist tried something else, so we still get art from him. :)

From what I gathered, she started a movement to stop the Molestia blog. However, I also read on another site (it was some kind of brony information site like Equestria Daily) that PinkiePony also made these kind of... explicit works herself. That while wanting to shut down that blog. Just a shame, because a lot of people liked that blog

 

I don't know in how far that's true, however. I don't know how trustworthy that site was.

 

But I personally think people should have the freedom to make these kind of things. The guy didn't make any money of the blog (I think) and it was more a parody then something else. Of course, Hasbro can get a bad name from things like that, especially if childeren see it, so I guess they have all the right to take it down.

I didn't even realize that the ''Princess Molestia'' thing had a single creator!

I just thought it was a meme thing.

 

I never really cared, I just giggled and moved on with my life, I guess it could be offensive.

it's like calling her a rapist!

 

but is that all?

 

surely there has to be more to this.

 

I've seen tons of fan stuff that could be considered worse.

 

apparently there was some kind of blog, (I just saw that in a post on this thread) but the only thing I've really noticed were twitter accounts using that name.

 

now I'm curious. 

I might give it a good long google before I give it a final opinion.

 

I may come back then with another post then.

I was part of the Down With Molestia movement, and followed PinkiePony's tumblr and such. She wasn't exactly the leader of DWM, but a lot of the movement was accredited with her. Many bronies loved the Molestia blog, and many thought she was to blame for the blog being taken down by Hasbro, thus the hate.

While I don't begin to believe PP's original story about some girl thinking Celestia was a molester, and I believe it was actually admitted to be fake, the fact is there is a potential for a girl to find inappropriate images of MLP characters, and it's our duty as GUESTS to this world of MLP fandom to police ourselves, and keep MLP content within the bounds of propriety. To our credit, most fans probably don't get into that stuff, and there's actually a group that actively works to clean up Google search results of all age inappropriate images.

This is all you need to know:

PinkiePony is one of the lowest pieces of hypocritical RadFem scum on the Internet. She spews her misandrist baloney and falls back on the classic victim complex of radical SJW elements while claiming that bronies are misogynist pariahs who promote rape and sexualize ponies, when she herself posts that kind of art.

 

Make of that what you will. :okiedokielokie:

Honestly, I can't be bothered to hate her since I can't be bothered to be upset about a blog called "Ask Molestia" being taken down. In fact, it kind of scares me that:

 

1. Bronies were able to get that upset about that blog being taken down, and;

2. Bronies were so upset that some essentially harassed a teenage girl and sent her death threats.

 

What are my thoughts? She's a teenage girl. They are prone to being dramatic, and they can be very annoying. But she's hardly the bastion of evil many Bronies make her out to be.

I personally agreed with the Down with Molestia movement as it's just a gross blog that destroyed one of the friendliest characters on the show. I do recall that she apparently drew NSFW pony art herself but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as Molestia and all her art was consensual. But the way bronies reacted was fucking disgusting, especially sending her both rape and death threats, while also hunting her down in real life, because she was part of the reason their rape-horse blog got taken down (even though it was Hasbro).

She's an egomaniacal SJW anti-brony troll who uses her rabid follwers as her own personal little obedient army. She was around doing her dumb stuff before the Molestia incident, most of it involving how bronies "ruined MLP" (when, in fact, she draws pony smut, most involving the CMC). She's bad people.

Hell, she once disagreed with a person on Tumblr and tried to get her husband deported.

 

This is from the victim

Hell, if you follow Ask Furybelle at all, you'd know that those events are inspired by her.

 

I don't hate her because of DWM. I don't even like Molestia.

She's a horrible person with a bloated internet ego and maniacal self-importance, through and through.

 

Thankfully, she deleted most of her stuff after a "feel bad for me" scorched-earth tactic (which she lied and said it was from bronies reporting her for violating Dumblr ToS)

She, unfortunately, discovered that she began to wither away without attention, so she made a new blog.

That seems iffy for a number of reasons. How do we even know the call was from her or one of her followers? If it was one of her followers, how do we know she knew about it?

I honestly find it kind of disturbing that anyone would put that much effort into making a call out for her. She's a dumb kid with a dumb blog.

 

I'm even more disgusted with this community after reading her Encyclopedia Dramatica entry.

Pfft. Read the brony EA entry.

EA is not known for taking sides or even being dignified.

 

Hell, read the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry for Encyclopedia Dramatica. There is no side being taken on literally any issue. It's all shock value and should be taken with the same journalistic integrity as an Onion article.

1. Her claim still seems totally fishy. If she really can't post any evidence of it, then why is she mentioning it in the first place? She also says it was someone else who did it, but she's still trying to claim Pinkie Pony as an accomplice. This is all just a bunch of "he said, she said" BS. And I don't care what the fucking law in Virginia says, this is a high school girl we're talking about. 

 

2. The ED article is about a specific actual person who is also a minor. I don't care if it's for "shock value", it's still a bunch of cyber bullying.

 

Whether you agree with her or not, this all just a big internet witch hunt because someone had the gall to criticize some dude's creepy one-note rape joke pony blog.

I don't really approve of their abrasive writing style (including insults of autism), but they are the fandom's scandal sheet. Horse News is the Brony equivalent of the New York Post. They report all the drama that sites like Equestria Daily won't touch and don't hesitate to dig up as much dirt as they can on controversial fandom figures. It's both informative and a strange source of entertainment.

With all due respect, Andaasonsan...you know not what you're talking about.

 

Did you see her Molestia-esque comic? The one she made with her own hands, the one filled with sexual innuendos of Molestia-esque standards that came out around the same time before DWM (which leads us to assume that DWM was created not out of righteousness, but jealousy)?

How about the foalcon and the rest of her porn?

 

Don't you get it?

I couldn't give a sh*t about DWM.

She's a troll and the biggesy internet hypocrite I've ever seen.

 

Get it? This isn't just because "herp derp, they took away muh Molestia". You're the reason Pinkiepony always gets away with her sh*t. You don't understand what you're defending.

The "she's just a dumb kid, a minor, she doesn't know what she's doing" excuse has worn thin on tons of people, but there people are, defending her because she's "a minor".

Doesn't matter if she was an a$$hole and a hypocrite.

 

I guarantee you if I started all of this stuff and I was a minor, no one would defend me (ESPECIALLY if I was screencapped downplaying Micheal Morones' suicide attempt [and the charity that came with it] in favor of bemoaning about MY made-up suicide attempt [which was proven to be made up]).

 

That's how white knights work. They don't understand what they're defending, but by golly, all they see is someone in trouble and they rush in blindly to help.

My point has nothing to do with whether Pinkie Pony is a pleasant person or if she's a hypocrite etc.

 

I think the degree of vitriol directed towards her is going too far. It is at a point where the people attacking her easily seem like much bigger jerks than she ever was.

 

Pinkie Pony should just be ignored. She's a dumb kid who says dumb things.

 

Instead of putting together long articles and collecting screen caps to prove how horrible Pinkie Pony is, people should just (incoming overused meme)
