Sugar Pea 2,682 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 There's a lot to point out.Mostly the shippings, and crazy theories like Equestria is post apocalyptic earth (wha?) and stuff like that. I highly doubt the makers of MLP would think that far into a kids show, especially. Any show for that matter, so that's why I highly dismiss them. 1 ℓ٥ﻻ ﻉ√٥υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,600 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Not sure if this even counts but honestly the only 'theory' that ever bothers me is the whole 'Hasbro is trying to ruin the show because toys' thing. That theory is not exactly within the show but it is about it. Some may still hold onto such a view when it makes no sense. There are many things Hasbro could have denied in their 'tyannical production of toys'. It's weird, pretty much none of the inner show fan theories bother me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedIsMagic 37 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 I really hate the whole Discord being Star Swirl the Bearded theory. It makes no sense. But isn't that discord's thing? Not making sense? When you think about it, it seems legit. 2 Don't touch the tacoes. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaritySparkleArtist 1,244 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 (edited) I hate all theories, because frankly, as someone can take a show so seriously to see theories behind the animation, the story is only one and is the one that Hasbro shows and original comics Hasbro also. Therefore all theories are only theories and nothing else, does not deserve my respect or my time, that's my opinion.

cider float 2,538 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 To be honest there hasn't been a theory that makes me seeth yet. When I hear some farfetched ones that people stretch out I just LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwanky 17,589 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 The sexuality stuff is well overdone for sure. But one of the areas that really bothers me is how Equestria and especially ponies are presented as some utopian or near-utopian society that can do no wrong and is free from most social ills. We've seen Manehattan already and Apploosa, not to mention Starlight Glimmer so I don't buy that crap. FiM may be PG-13, but its not kumbaya. Ironically some of the theories that people have to make characters and Equestria better, just end up flanderizing and mock them by making them 1 dimensional and ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,690 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 Discord is Starswirl - Exists under absolutely no basis Tyrantlestia - Sounds like more "lets hate on Celestia" Bullshit Orphan Scootaloo/Abusive Parents - For fucks sakes fandom, not everything about the character has to be depressing, let the girl be happy Rainbow Dash is a lesbian - I still feel it only exists to fulfill a bunch of shallow stereotypes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Testa 5,505 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 Rainbow Dash is a lesbian - I still feel it only exists to fulfill a bunch of shallow stereotypes I don't know, I've seen some pretty telling stuff that has nothing to do with stereotypes. Most of it is from the comics though so take that with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't write off the possibility just because "it seems like a stereotype" http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousSMALL 1,984 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 People pretty much already stated the ones I dislike, but I guess I could list them again for maximum redundancy "Tyrant Celestia" Discord being starswirl orphan scootaloo I hate all theories, because frankly, as someone can take a show so seriously to see theories behind the animation, the story is only one and is the one that Hasbro shows and original comics Hasbro also. Therefore all theories are only theories and nothing else, does not deserve my respect or my time, that's my opinion. -snip huge friggin gif- I see theories as just having fun more than being serious. But if you're going overboard with them like "tyrant celestia" and stuff like that then it gets kind of ridiculous. That somehow shipping is the spawn of tartarus and shouldn't have a place in the fandom: That isn't a theory, that's an opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeTheWanderer 121 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 For me, its that Celestia can tell the future and so losses on purpose. Sorry guys, she flat out lost to Chrysalis, Tirek, and some vines. She is a powerful pony, not an all-powerful pony. I have to agree on that. It sounds more contrived than your own arguments. One that I never really liked was the theory that Celestia is evil, its overdone and there's very little things supporting it. Sure its an interesting idea, but only for fanfiction. "It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything." - Plutarch "As long as humans continue to be the ruthless destroyer of other beings, we will never know health or peace. For as long as people massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, those who sow the seed of murder and pain will never reap joy or love." - Pythagoras, Greek philosopher, ca. 530 B.C.

sweetolebob18 728 June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 (edited) Some of the ships are a little weird, but most of the stuff that really bugs me was done by Hasbro & not by fans. The 2 biggest annoyances are the EQ Girls & the fact that Hasbro is bringing back some of the G1-G2 villains & completely ignoring Megan. OK, that stuff would clearly be thousands of years in the past, but seems like there should at least be some legends.

ANGEL33 87 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 5 of the mane 6 are lesbians (excluding Rarity). I'm sick of it. Every time I cruise through Deviant Art. I always come across a lesbian Twilight or AJ or RD or some pony. Everyone knows that IF Rainbow or some pony was gay. The show would end because of all the shit HASBRO would get from parents. The straight pairings are also freaking ridiculous. "I ship Rainbow and Soarin!" Are you serious? Soarin would be trying to get with a baker (not AJ) because of all the pie he could get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 Making assumptions on a pony's sexuality. Most proof I see on these don't really hold much water and can be interpreted as friendly interactions. Rainbow Dash helping Fluttershy does not automatically mean shipping, friendly gestures do exist. There's also the obnoxiously constant (and constantly obnoxious) assumption by some fans that all ponies are irrefutably heterosexual. x3 As though Equestria would surely fall into ruin should a mare actually like like another mare.

Flight 175 7 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 90% of shippings I don't approve of, because as relationships they are not interesting to see in the slightest, or they are a paring of two characters that have no character outside their pairing and some very very base traits (looking at you lyrabon).

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 (edited) Any theories that any ponies have some nonsensical, as-of-yet-unrevealed, dark and mysterious past. Though it's not a theory so much as straight-up bullshit: Any characterization of any member of the Mane Six as a murderess.

Nah, it could easily be canon that twilight murders small infants in her free time.

1234zua 19 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 I hate the theory of how Silver Spoon is just pretending to be mean or is a beleaguered assistant of Diamond Tiara. If anything, if this was true, it would only make me dislike Silver Spoon more because it shows that she knows that what Diamond Tiara is doing is wrong, but she goes along with it anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,474 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 Every headcanon with Luna. Seriously, she's not innocent, but 99.99% of her headcanon has her as the "innocent victim, who was abused by her evil sister". Luna let her own jealousy and hatred get the best of her, and tried to enslave Equestria. Celestia did the best thing she could do, aside from killing her own sister, and even gave her a second chance after the mane six cleansed her of that darkness. 5 Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge Princess Luna fan and I can't help but agree. I hate how fans have to demonize Celestia for what she did to Luna, even though it's very clear on who was in the wrong. However, Luna didn't try to enslave Equestria. She turned into Nightmare Moon and wanted to cause eternal night. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
