The word Prince actually means "first" or less literally "boss". Historically, and originally, it more often to "a sovereign otherwise unspecified" rather than to the son (or daughter in the case of princess) of a king/emperor etc... The book of Machiavelli "The prince" refers to any ruler from the ottoman emperor to the prince of monaco.

yeah the brony community spammed cards vs humanity with an mlp deck... which is jarring and disgusting to say the least. That game is NOT pony friendly. I also don't like the way many in the fandom exaggerate how dark the show is(I find the size of this shows nightmare fuel list on tvtropes laughable). Yes it goes further than most shows for little girls(though adventure time is technically a kids show and goes much further than mlp ever will), but I think it's darkness is purely relative. It is still very much a young girls show. A really good one.

Honestly I can't think of anything I dislike about the brony community that is unique to this one. Having been a part of the elder scrolls video game fandom for a long time, I can say right off the bat that nothing in the brony community matches their infighting and level of fandumb. I do dislike the rule 34 group... but again they exist in every fandom, and are only really flagrant in this case because it's a kids show and because this is one of the first kids shows with such wide appeal, so they'll be more prominent in the eyes of the public than people who want ruler 34 of dora the explorer.

Theory: King Sombra is Racist
Terilien replied to 100 beasts kaidou's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
While it's a viable explanation there's a simpler one in light of the facts. We need only assume that he was a jerk to explain his actions. If we assume that he was a racist, we still have to assume that he was a huge jerk. A general case is always more likely than a more specific one. Edit: Though I guess the fact that he wasn't a Crystal pony himself means that racism might have made him more likely to seek the opportunity to enslave the crystal ponies, rather than some other group he was closer to. However one wonders why racism didn't lead him to exterminate them instead, as that's where racial hatred tends to lead. The sort of racism that leads to (or rather justifies) enslavement has generally been grounded in some kind of excuse that amounts to the people's lack of culture , but if anything the crystal ponies seemed pretty advanced. -

Thank you all so much for the very warm reception!!!! This is a wonderful place and the fandom seems oh so reasonable... In relative terms at least .

The Mane Six's love life pre-show
Terilien replied to Silverwisp the Bard's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Twilight: She's basically a grad student and I can cite research showing that virginity is very common among grad students. Add her social awkwardness to the mix and it becomes very very likely that she's never had much of a relationship. Fluttershy: I can't imagine her having been with anyone. Though the trope of the demure woman who's secretly a sex fiend is pretty widespread, I think that her shyness etc.. hints to a certain sense of privacy that might make her wary of sexual relationships. I'm fairly unsure about the rest. To be perfectly honest I have a very heard time imagining any of these ponies in any kind of sexual or romantic scenario. -

Ok so I'm a 21 year old male brony from Toronto Canada. I am a student, I'm highly introverted and don't get out much, but I am looking to make some friends here. I got into MLP FIM late may of 2013, and watched all 3 seasons in the space of 4 days. I'm not sure what it is that I like so much about it, other than that it's simply awesome, very well together, and optimistic without being saccharine. My favorite Pony is Fluttershy, with Luna a close contender. I'm not sure what else to say but ummmm HI. Other than that, I guess you could say I enjoy fantasy, worldbuilding, and medieval architecture(though my avatar is a reconstruction of the mycenean hillfort of tiryns). I'm done.
