I have literally no problems with this episode. And given how season 4 episodes have been lately, it's about time I can actually say that. Maud was awesome, the interaction was awesome, the jokes were awesome... I loved everything about this episode. If I had to choose SOMETHING, though, I'd complain about the lack of a monotone musical number from Maud. Anyone else think that would've been perfect?

I'd argue against Lana Skye mainly because Lana still had tons of emotion behind her words, and her sadness was easy to detect from the start. Plus, the relief brings out a big, sincere smile. Maud just sorta says "Yeah, I love my sis. Yay." ... Not meaning to knitpick and feel free to ignore this, just wanted an excuse to advertise my love of Ace Attorney again.

... Well... this episode was definitely something. Something I really liked. It was a good episode. Yay. ... Okay, Maud impression over. I freaking LOVED this episode. This episode in particular holds a moral I'm really able to find myself understanding. There's more than one social life to a person, but we often feel a heavy desire to have them intertwine. Pinkie wanted this so very badly. And I understand it entirely. I've felt this way before too. I've tried it, and interestingly enough, it didn't exactly work out. Fact is, one friend of a person isn't exactly compatible with another, often moreso the case with a person's relatives. I love one of my friends with all my being but his brother's a bully. <<; It's all just based on how well the people can talk, and sometimes closing the gap between two sides isn't easy, and this episode portrayed that amazingly. They tried to make friends with Maud, they really did. And I really, truly love that. Some may complain that Maud was fairly bland, but that was the point. Maud never went through the exciting life-changing event that made Pinkie so happy. She grew up on the Rock farm; she became bland. Like a rock. But she's still a good soul, even if she is a simple, soft-spoken one. I loved how they pulled her off. And Pinkie kept desperately trying to befriend both sides despite the differences. I can understand that. I really, truly can. I've been in that position before. It's not fun to see a friend not getting along with a different set of friends. But, of course, differences are still there, and can't be denied. Good moral, good characters, good story... Overall, this was an enjoyable episode, through and through. Easy 9.5/10. Or... I guess you could say this episode really... ROCKED *stoned to death*

Not a single smart anti-brony to be found. However, I HAVE found some very decent NON-bronies. They've been fairly open on the matter, sometimes dropping it for the sake of not getting on their nerves (which I was okay with), and some hearing me out for why I like it. Non-bronies are fine; anti-bronies are NOT the brightest bulbs.

"I'm sorry, but her parents are partly at fault here. They know that people are going to rape someone going out dressed in a dress like that." Do you see the problem with your words yet? VICTIM-SHAMING IS NOT OKAY

... I don't care if you're a teacher, this is sincerely the dumbest thing I've read in a long while. You think that, oh, instead of punishing the TRUE CAUSE OF TROUBLE, at the risk of a few assholes complaining, it's easier to just get rid of the kid who's suffering simply for being himself? My god, that kind of mentality is the reason we still HAVE problems like this. <<;

... What is with you and your desire to make My Little Pony dark based on crossovers? Anyways, I'm indifferent to AE fanfiction, and not just because I don't read fanfiction all too often. In most cases, it tends to be way too light, or WAAAAAY too dark, primarily where it doesn't belong to begin with. I don't hate it, but I tend to avoid it.

I'm honestly getting thoroughly sick of crap like this. This isn't a means of remedying the problem. This is victim-shaming. THIS IS F**KING VICTIM-SHAMING Quite frankly, I'm disappointed in the school for this poor decision, and I only hope they can get off their self-righteous asses and see that they're going after the wrong party here. Though, knowing society, they likely won't.

Fanservice is not an inherently problematic addition to something, as long as it isn't sexual (which would be hard to incorporate in MLP, might I say). However, it CAN be milked out too much for it to be any fun, and ruin the value of certain parts of the show. ... I don't feel that the show has done this too extensively. Personally, I'm genuinely grateful for some of the fanservice it's had to offer. I liked seeing Bench Press get a name and more of a personality, I liked seeing Derpy get another show on-screen, brief and quiet as it was, I liked Big Mac singing Acapella... I haven't had many complaints for this season. ... However... This is the biggest problem with the newer episodes and I won't attempt to dislodge this argument at all. It seems the show lately has just been desperate to shove as many ponies as it can possibly manage into a single episode. I find this heavily infuriating, especially because these appearances almost always result in a heavy butchering of the character's personality for the sole purpose of just giving them SOME purpose. Don't even get me started on poor Pinkie...

I don't think R34 in itself is inherently problematic, and I have absolutely no quarrels with individual R34 artists who find sexual pleasure in pastel-colored equines and variations of such except Tiarawhy. However, I won't deny that R34, especially for MLP of all things, has become far too prevalent on the internet and is overall VERY problematic for the viewers of the show and even those simply watching it off to the side. And don't even get me started on the innocent little girl target demographic. I won't oppose R34 or whatever comes out of it, but it REALLY needs to be kept more in check.

I'm not afraid to call myself a brony, but I prefer to introduce to others as a "fan of My Little Pony". Again, not out of shame, and I'll call myself a brony in situations to follow, but that takes away the controversy and general negative context that society sadly has on the term, which thus allows people to have a more open mind when talking to me. I have no problem with the term myself and I don't see it as a negative term by any means, but sadly, the term has come with very negative context. Even those who are okay with fans of the show view the term "brony" as a very derogative and negative means of addressing only the most unsavory brony. It's a shame, but the term is DEFINITELY turning into something it isn't.

Well, this is a rather interesting topic because I don't really seem to have it as bad as most people. Ever since I left my EXTREMELY judgemental elementary school and moved to a new town, everyone I've met has been really accepting of me and my interests and fandoms. I've literally only gotten one person to judge me at all and they weren't even worth taking seriously. My friends accept it, my family accepts it, the general public of the school accepts it (with one or two exceptions, but they just don't know any better)... I really haven't had many problems with people in high school. As for hate, it depends on what's being hated on. If you're hating on me as a person, I don't get too bothered. If you're hating on my fandoms, I get very heated and get desperate to defend them. And if you're hating on any of my friends, I have a few choice words for you...
