  1. The whole name change thing was pointless, the name just meant she was an idiot, it wasn't insulting towards people who are mentally challenged. Honestly, anyone who seriously offended must be extremely insecure. Or you're looking for something to complain about. Anyway, Muffins is......eh. Could be worse, but they really should've just kept it as Derpy. I doubt a bunch of overly-sensitive retards who can't tell the difference between a silly name and an actual insult towards a group of people, and narcissists who exist for the sole purpose of "saving the day" for the sake of further padding their own egos,would've managed to actually harm Hasbro in anyway, so no, it wasn't reasonable for them to have caved in to the demands of those goofs. And tho I have a feeling they would've likely launched smear campaigns against Hasbro if they didn't change the name, I think it's safe to say that Hasbro is big enough with enough money to have just shrugged it off. Just me 0.02 shekels.
  2. I don't see it as a waste of time to point out flaws, you shouldn't ignore the negatives. If there's a serious problem with the show's writing, then that needs to be pointed out. Focus on the good AND the bad.
  3. Some people are definitely over-critical, but I think some bronies just can't handle any critique of the show they love. One thing I've heard more than once is that analysts ruin the show for people, the only way that could be true is if they caused them to see actual glaring issues that they had previously not noticed, and those issues were so severe they caused them to want to stop watching. But that's not really the analysts fault for pointing out those problems, it's the problems themselves. I think a lot of bronies just want to keep enjoying the show, and they'd rather ignore serious problems in the writing so as not to have to accept that maybe it just isn't that well-written after all. But that just proves you care about quality storytelling. If you were so adamant on ignoring flaws in the writing, or didn't even care and just watched the show for mindless entertainment, than you wouldn't be watching or reading mlp analyzing.. Which just tells me that some of you are just really insecure and can't handle any criticisms of this show. Well, those who dislike the analyst community as a whole that is, and not just the overly critical ones.
  4. Sorry, I kinda rambled a bit there. But yeah, I don't believe it has anything to do with hatred of females, I think there are just certain expectations of men in western society. Men are expected be to strong, and women are allowed to be weak, so a weak man is seen as feminine and therefore that's seen as a bad thing. But weakness in general is bad. That, and there are just certain things a lot of people see as girly, like MLP, and the color pink, and people who deviate from the norm and like things that is perceived to be abnormal for them to like, will get ridiculed for acting differently. So I think that's all I have to say, yeah.
  5. No, but I've seen a (I suppose famous), news reporter before. Didn't say anything to him, because who cares? Just because someone is famous doesn't mean they deserve to be revered. They're just famous. I don't understand this culture of celebrity worship, if you're gonna respect someone, it should be because of the kind of person they are, not because they sung a song, or acted in some movie. They're no more special than anybody else.
  6. No, there are exceptions to the rule, but yes, you shouldn't force people to be something they aren't. So how bout we just let people do and be who they truly are, as long as they aren't hurting anybody or anything, and people who want to everyone into specific roles they don't need to or want to be in, as well as SJW marxists. who oppose stereotypical gender and racial roles, but believe there needs to be an equal amount of every race and gender in every single field of work or hobby, even tho that's absolute insanity and can never realistically work, so they wanna force specific races and genders in and out of certain fields just to attain their deranged utopia of forced equality, can just fuck right off? How bout that? Just let people be who the fuck they are.
  7. Beyond fights with one of my siblings, not much. There was this one time where, during 6th grade, some 4 or 5th grader (kids from those grade were strangely short, I recall) took my backpack and threw it in a puddle. Naturally, I took his backpack and threw it in a puddle. This led to a fight between me and a bunch of his friends. I managed to hold to short little fucktards off for a while, even managed to grab one by the shirt and slammed him against a metal door. I remember him having a big bruise on his back after that. It ended with one girl I know, for reasons I still have not figured out, poking me in the eyes, than all the kids jumped me simultaneously while I was stunned, but then the bell rang so I was sparred a heavy beating. None of us were suspended tho. There was also some kid, tho I don't remember why, but I'm pretty damn sure he started it, I threw his bag on the ground hard, then he went berserk, chewing on my arm, and I had to seriously beat him off. I later learned that he went into shock after he was subdued I guess. Apparently, his laptop was in there, so that was why. Understandable that he'd be so upset. I got in trouble for fighting back, I asked the principle "what was I supposed to do, let him chew my arm while I drag him to your office?" and she basically said yes. Another kid at that same school, whom showed up partway through the year from some other school, quickly got into a beef with me and we had some sort of fight, verbal or physical, but we quickly got along......somehow. Never really friends, tho. There was this one racist asswipe he, through high school, consistently pissed me off, until one day, after he mocked me, I threw a chair at him. Naturally I was kicked out of class, for the day I think. No regrets. I'm sure I have more fight stories but that's all I feel like typing about right now. I do wish I was still in school tho, if only so that I could smash some more pricks. I really do itch for an excuse to beat up some bullies up again. But my vidya gives me an outlet for my violent urges, fortunately.
  8. Yeah I'm gonna need a citation on that one, in regards to it having to do with anti-women. There are, apparently, actual legitimate natural differences between males and females in terms of general interests, etc. While I'm sure there is some stereotyping going on, it doesn't mean that boys and girls are exactly alike, that there's no difference between their regular interests. You cannot force people to change what they like, who they are. Honestly, as far as I'm aware, the "dislike" of feminine males is more about certain expectations of men in western society, and ridicule may occur if a male fails to meet those expectations, or just acts abnormal for their gender. Misogyny is irrelevant. And no I'm not going to expect anyone of you to take my word for it until I can be assed to dig up some trustworthy studies on the subject matter. Or you can educate yourselves, alternatively.
  9. Well he's certainly not making any more games, he rage-quit the industry back in august or september, cancelling Fez 2, and tried to sell the IP. and is now a DJ. No wonder he cancelled Fez 2, he can't make the game himself and likely pissed off anyone who would be willing to help him.
  10. According to a former video game journalist, Allistair Pinsof, Phil fish effectively stole coding to make fez, never gave credit, then used his connections in the industry to intimidate the developers into not suing him : (For some reason the thread isn't loading right now so here's the archive: https://archive.today/C9737) I already disliked the guy, and, if this is true, I now have further reason to hate him. I hope, assuming this actually happened, that they gain the courage to sue. He shouldn't be able to get away with this.
  11. Those things were actually in stores? I've literally never seen one.
  12. My eating schedule is too strict, I don't have anything after dinner anymore, so no midnight snacks . Gotta maintain my weight.
  13. I had a cute avatar once and I started talking cutesy so I changed it.

  14. Hoping I don't wind up hating Super Mario Galaxy 2, dat 10 dollah deal.

  15. Isn't Ouya dead? I'm pretty sure Ouya's dead. Ouya? MORE LIKE : BOOOOOOOOOOO-ya
  16. Exactly, if you don't know whether or not she legitimately can't afford it, you're taking a foolish risk, and for something as pointless as a convention. I never said she definitely tried to manipulate people into giving her money, nor am I saying she was scamming people, all I'm saying is that it's a possibility. If you want to toss your money at some person on the internet who could easily be lying about needing it, than go ahead. I'll have absolutely zero sympathy for you if you wind up getting scammed.
  17. She didn't outright say don't give to charity, but if you're gonna donate your disposable income to anything, it should be something legitimate. Something not pointless. I dislike it when people e-beg for money to buy things they don't need. She should've just accepted that she and her dad wouldn't be able to go that year. One could argue that she had the money already but decided it'd be more intelligent just to e-bag to scam people for 2k. You could say that she was deliberately attempting to emotionally manipulate people to donate with her little sob story about how much it means to her to go. There are so many vapid individuals who are easily trolled by cute girls on the internet begging them for shit. She's also a youtuber with a pre-existing fanbase, so there's the possibility of fans who would blindly believe anything she says, because of the mental-disorder known as fanboyism that seems to be present in ANY fandom. There's a good chance she was aware of this, and use it to her advantage. If it really was a con-job, welp, successful scam was successful. Of course, it's possible that she's just a spoiled brat who really wasn't able to go that year without the donated money and just can't handle not getting what she wants so she resorts to e-begging. Anyone who donated was a fool. And no, that's not an insult. If you're daft you're daft. But it happened anyway, so oh well.
  18. I was gonna give Inkrose a chance, than I looked through her vids and found her begging for money to go to bronycon. No reason as to why anyone should, just that "I REALLY want to go there this year!". It was like, 2 grand I think, for fuck's sakes (for her and her father). No proof that she couldn't afford it herself, either. Makes it seem to me like she's a spoiled little brat who can't handle not getting want she wants. "Don't donate that money to charity, or put to use for some other good cause, donate it to ME so I can go to a convention!" Fuck right off. I've never even gone to a convention and I've never, and will never, beg for money for something unnecessary like that. She later made a vid saying people could get rewards for donating, but this was AFTER the first video, and people had called her out for pointless e-begging. Unfortunately, it was fully-funded. For some reason. Shame on anyone actually donated.
  19. I saw that one the other day, I was gonna post there, but noticed that it hadn't gotten any more posts since september, so I figured this site wasn't interested in the topic. I wanted to make a thread that explains the issue to people, but couldn't be assed to go through the mountain of info to make a compilation. Then I found this video, which did the work for me Anywho, there's a stream going on with KingofPol, a gamergate supporter who's been doing many many streams since this started, and has had other pro-gamergate folk and game devs on to discuss. Anti-gamergate, unsurprisingly, has avoided joining in, to my knowledge, except for one guy named Koz, who, even tho he SEEMED like he was getting it after the last stream he was in, seemingly went full-blown anti-gamergate again at some point. Don't know if he's regained some sense, but I doubt. Probably a lost cause, honestly. Anyway, here's the stream: http://www.hitbox.tv/kingofpol He's currently taking a brief break tho. How is the ship sinking? We're kicking their corrupt asses across the field, stripping their advertisers. The movement IS focused, overall, on ethical reform for video game journalism. There's nobody in full command giving out orders to the entire movement, but that's GOOD, if anything, because without leader's, we can't be co-opted. Any doing things the way we are now, a multi-headed hydra, has proven successful thus far, so there's no reason to change tactics now.
  20. Well, yes it's a controversial topic. Still, the name Debate Pit implies, well, debate. This isn't one, tho, so I don't agree that it belongs there. That, and 100 character limit is annoying. I'm not going over this any further, if people want to discuss the topic, cool, if not, please leave, I don't like derails.
  21. It's not up for debate. Gamergate is looking for ethical video game journalism, there is no debate on that part. It has nothing to do with a hatred of women and or minorities in the industry, anyone saying so is misguided or deflecting. I welcome differing opinions, because I don't like hugboxes, but the question of whether or not gamergaters are just wanting ethical video game journalism or are a bunch of a angry cis-white males who just can't stand women is not subjective. It's a proven fact that it's about wanting ethical video game journalism. Yes, there are surely women-haters, but they're the vast minority, and don't represent the movement as a whole. There's nothing to debate about that part. It's an objective truth so anyone arguing that needs to be properly informed, and if they still argue against it, than they're either trolling, in denial, or insane. Either way, they're not adding anything meaningful to the discussion. I'm not going any further on that part. You read my post, acknowledge the real facts, or stay out of the discussion, because you may as well be trolling.
  22. Moderators, PLEASE do NOT put this in the debate pit, there is NO debate to be had as to what the real goal of gamergate is. It's a movement wanting ethical reform of the corrupt video game's journalism industry. NOT a sexist group of angry white males. That is a FACT. I want to have a discussion thread (not a hugbox echo-chamber) about gamergate, in regards to what is REALLY going on here. And yes, I'm aware that there have been other threads on this, but they've gone nowhere. I want to start a new thread with this video that will educate newcomers to what's going on, and discourage people who aren't interested in seeing the reality that this isn't a sexist movement, that we're just fighting for ethical video game journalism. ANYONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GAMERGATE IS OR THINKS IT'S A MISOGYNISTIC MOVEMENT WANTING TO ATTACK WOMAN PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO BELOW OR DO, NOT, POST, or I'll assume you're trolling and report you as such, (and hopefully, the moderators will punish you accordingly). Because if you're willfully refusing to actually acknowledge the facts, you're not contributing anything meaningful to the discussion, and are not welcome. So let's please discuss Gamergate here, and not the debate pit.
  23. I assume it's bad because I know you shouldn't mix comedy in a story that's mean to be scary, it destroys the mood completely. Why would you even want to add humor to a horror? I'm talking Silent Hill type here, would you honestly think that comedy would be a good idea at all in such a story? If you're writing a horror story that's based on a feeling of suspense, eeriness, and terror, all comedy would do is break any feeling of that, and for what purpose? What does it add, besides shattering the mood? That would just ruin it. I'm sorry, but I stand by what I said. Again, why would something like this be a good idea? Why do so many people want the show to go in a direction like this? It'd be too jarring to suddenly change the tone this far in, and the character designs are far too silly looking to be taken seriously (plus, the names don't help: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, etc.). Like just picture that scene you described with MLP characters, could you honestly watch that with a straight face? The want for a darker, edgier, more mature MLP is a silly idea that would never work and people should stop pushing for it.
  24. I haven't watched/played any of those but I'm just going to assume they're bad if they're trying to mix comedy and horror. Unless you consider jump-scares to be good horror. I don't. A legitimate horror story/game has a consistent mood of dread, suspense, eeriness, and occasional terror. You must to maintain that air. If, at ANY point, anything humorous happens (either intentional or unintentional), that mood is gone, and you're never getting it back. All you can do after that is rely on jump scares, which won't salvage it.
  25. Well I hardly see that as dark. When I think of dark, I think of mature themes, stuff you wouldn't put in a kids show. The things you mentioned are so tame that they don't break the mood of the show. Honestly, they don't even phase me. And that's why they were able to get away with adding those moments.They're darker than usual, but barely. Just barely. And while yes, the show has it's serious moments, rarely has it gone super serious like in Hurricane Fluttershy. It mixes in serious moments with silly, it manages to balance it by almost never being too serious. So to answer the question of the thread, MLP is dark enough, anymore would be a bad idea. It get's it just right (well, except when it pulls a Hurricane Fluttershy, episodes I think shouldn't happen because of the extreme shift in mood If you want comedy in a serious story, you shouldn't go very far with the seriousness. I think in order for that to work, it needs to balance it. There's a point where it's too serious and you can't throw in comedy without it being jarring. Horror, on the other hand? Never, ever have humor in a horror, for they rely on being consistently suspenseful in order to be scary. Comedy completely obliterates that.
