Scrumpy

Um yeah I agree, but it kinda is true and people shouldn't care about what others think of them, but don't get me twisted, I DO understand it's not as easy as simply not caring. And it probably isn't only me that says this from a recovering state of depression, but I say that to people because having been to the brink of suicide myself and put it behind me I "know better" than to care what other people think now, or rather I've developed the psychological tools that allow me to not care what people think too much. So yeah ok so maybe I'm a hypocrite, but I genuinely be the hypocrite out of good intentions and trying to be helpful. If I fail to be helpful that's kinda a seperate issue. I like to think most peoples hearts are in the right place even if they don't always show it well.

Apple Jack easily. But then I guess I am a little bias as AJ is my fave pony alongside Granny Smiths past self, who looks similar to AJ with a pony tail or vice versa.

You could be onto something there, Pinkies lines both in the store (alternate Pinkie?) and on the otherside of the mirror in Equaestria really was too detailed a dialogue to be "just a hunch" IMO.

Yeah I hear ya, I like to forgive movies if I can for stuff like that; I mean the screen time is limited and the writers and animators have to get as much of the main plot in as possible, so it's understandable that things maybe classed as less essential to the plot and get cut out. I'd have liked to have seen them do refuse duty for it or something, but yeah true you can't have it all. Personally I see cyberbullying as defined not by one off snide comments or blatant trolling but defined by malicious character assasination and usually it's over a long period of time the victim being hounded systematically as opposed to randomly, that can actually be pretty harmful and is much harder to deal with than just saying "grow a pair and say it to my face" because even if you did say stuff like that the power of anon means cowards that do that have no real incentive to stop harrassing their victims. I'm not saying genuine wimps don't exist and it's not a good idea to grow a thicker skin sometimes, but there really is a point where people just go too far. Like you can negatively criticise something without being cruel about it.

What did you think of Snips and Snails resorting to cyberbullying for Sunset Shimer? Personally I wasn't expecting it, and as much as I dislike real cyberbullying I kinda liked that it was included in the movie because it's very relevant. It wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro deliberately put it in to raise awareness, and set a good lesson in place for the kids. Any thoughts?
