Breezeoverthewater 12 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 I'd like to talk about double standarts of this fandom. Or, rather, just show it, if somebody still doesn't understand. Now, when Twilight was about to turn into an alicorn as a reward for her astounishing success in the magic of friendship and for all her deeds, the whole community was enraged. Everyone was so mad about her getting her logical and deserved reward. Literally, it was like an explosion of some sort. But I noticed something interesting. When pones become bloodthursty scumbags and racists, living without order, when Rarity begins to act like a lustful imbecile, when Twilight doesn't give a damn about her friends, without any negative influence (such as Discord's brainwashing in Return of Harmony), when princesses become a lughing stock and simply cannot be treated serious, when Celestia acts like a stupid teen and cannot even calculate her actions to at least one step ahead -- nobody cares. More than that, everyone likes it very, very much. The same people, that were enraged with Twilight becoming an alicorn, love all this stuff I mentioned. Now this is what called double standarts -- a pure and refined example from the fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sintanan 151 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 (edited) The wings were unwarranted, however. Much like Cadance being an alicorn, or Blueblood being a Prince instead of a Duke, or Celestia not being a Queen, or even the new Twilycastle playset... Alicorn Twilight was all about Hasbro stepping in and making changes because they wanted to either a) sell more toys, or didn't think girls could handle concepts like good queens.

Banul 3,831 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 (edited) . When pones become bloodthursty scumbags Citation needed when Rarity begins to act like a lustful imbecile, Rarity caught plenty of flack for Trenderhoof. (I assume that's what your talking about). when Twilight doesn't give a damn about her friends, Citation needed when princesses become a lughing stock and simply cannot be treated serious, when Celestia acts like a stupid teen and cannot even calculate her actions to at least one step ahead Not really sure what you're getting at here. Don't really care about her wings, personally. But if you think this fandom doesn't rake the ponies over the proverbial coals every time they do something wrong, you are mistaken.

Don't mean to play smart-rump here, just... you really don't know? Either I don't know what your talking about, or you and I have very different ideas of what the word bloodthirsty means. I also don't recall a time when Twilight didn't care about her friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for not caring -- she did nothing to help her friends, at all. Edited March 20, 2015 by Breezeoverthewater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banul 3,831 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 Well, for bloodthirsty I mean that ponies enjoy violence very, very much. When? I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm genuinely confused. Aside from the occasional "Let me at 'um" from Rainbow Dash, I've never seen anything to indicate that they enjoy violence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Taxman 274 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 As for not caring -- she did nothing to help her friends, at all. In what situation? As far as I'm concerned she tried to help her friends whenever it was possible. As for Twilight getting wings, I don't mind it one bit, but that affected the entire show, not just an episode. 2 ~ If you're feeling cold, I'll tax the heat. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the comics, they're generally not considered canon and not the entire fandom reads them anyway. ...also, what is a doube standart?
