    I have a friend who is in a desperate situation and I am trying to help with his GoFundMe campaign but I did not know what the site rules were for posting that kind of link or where it would be appropriate to post.

    I've been to a few conventions and read alot of guidelines online for convention rules and none of them seem to have consistent policies and enforcement. The guidelines are often fairly vague like no "offensive content" or "hate symbols". I can understand the rules about no real or realistic weapons, although I have still seen plenty of cosplayers walking around cons with fairly realistic looking prop guns. Also, how do you determine offensive content? Like I was thinking about putting together a cosplay of Schrodinger from Hellsing but I don't want to get kicked out of a con before I even walk in the door. Does this mean all realistic military uniforms are inappropriate? What about Tanya the Evil or Marvel's Hydra? Also, what determines appropriate sexual content. I've seen plenty of cosplayers in what amounts to lingerie, bikinis, and dominatrix gear, and this was still during daylight hours. Also, not to mention all the dealers selling barely obscured porn art. What do you think is appropriate and not appropriate for a convention, especially one open to all ages, and who determines that?

    If anyone here was planning on traveling to China for ANY reason, DO NOT. I'm dead serious. ESPECIALLY if you have relatives in China.

    Why? China is now "legally" detaining pretty much anyone for indefinite periods of time (think years), especially people with relatives in China with ZERO embassy access or representation. It's called an "exit ban" and I notice that Wikitravel has NOT put up their usual red band warning.

    The US State Department travel advisory lists it as a yellow warning:

    "U.S. citizens may be detained without access to U.S. consular services or information about their alleged crime. U.S. citizens may be subjected to prolonged interrogations and extended detention for reasons related to “state security.” Security personnel may detain and/or deport U.S. citizens for sending private electronic messages critical of the Chinese government."

    DO NOT VISIT CHINA

    I know I'm in the minority here but I didn't like it. Without trying to give too much away for a movie called "Joker" there was barely any Joker proper in it. It felt like a remake of "King of Comedy" with DC characters shoehorned in just to get more people to see it Spoilers Below:

    I vaguely remember watching some old commercial in the early 90s that really creeped me out as a kid. It was this black-and-white vortex that showed a family photo being ripped in half and then this jumpscare wolf's mouth popped out. Then it cut to a black-and-white picture of a man who might have been a serial killer. I want to say it was an ad for Time-Life serial killer documentary but when I search for that nothing comes up. I've been looking for this commercial for years. I mean, it's slightly possible I might have dreamed it but I don't think so.

    Let's say that Westeros and Equestria existed on the same planet and thanks to good old conniving and diplomatic failure they went to war. Who would win? How many losses would there be? And what would be the aftermath? My money's on Equestria as they have quite a few more dragons and what not, not to mention the ability to control weather and the elements. But I do think it would be a battle with several losses, and that Equestria would have trouble holding on to Westeros if they decided to occupy it.

    Oh, come on. This is hardly the end of the brony fandom. It's only the beginning. Fan creators will be doing animations and fanfics years from now. There will still be brony cons, merchandise, whatnot. And let's not forget, there's always G5 on the horizon. MLP FIM has pretty much staked its permanent claim in the annals of pop culture.

    I don't have alot of money right now either so I've had to cut back. I'm even thinking about selling some of my stuff.

    I don't know if there's a thread for this or not but I'm wondering if there's anyone else who's big into toy collecting as a hobby. I used to fancy myself a big time 1/6 (GI Joe size) figure collector until the market got too expensive. I have a pretty extensive collection of GI Joe size figures (although now they're all sitting in boxes) from various companies like Sideshow, Hasbro, Dragon etc. I've also got a pretty decent collection of those fancy MLP "fan series" sculptures like Discord and Chrysalis (as well as a few decent plushies). Anyone else here a toy collector?

    Male here. Almost full grown beard. I shave about once per month. My ankles however are as hairy as a hobbit's.

    Probably not as much, it is a bit heavy on the lore. I'd say at least watch the first two live action Spiderman (Tobey McGuire) movies before you see this one.
