CastletonSnob 3,081 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 I noticed the newer seasons use slang. Every Little Thing She Does has Rainbow saying "Chillax", Not Asking For Trouble has the line, "Check self before wreck self", and Fluttershy says, "Woke" in Fake it Till You Make it. Anyone else find the use of slang kind of jarring? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,014 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 Definitely not fond of 'real world' slang, it comes off as cheesy in a very bad way. What they should continue doing is making up pony versions of said slang terms, that way it can be somewhat original and funny with its adaptation.

I thought it was pretty funny as send up of early 90s hip hop videos. Plus, it was perfectly in keeping with Pinkie's usual leaning on the fourth wall shenanigans. Fluttershy using "woke" is groan worthy, though. 3 Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exactly what it looks like. Rarity introduces her, and Rainbow does... this for some reason. I tried to find a clip, but couldn’t find a gif or a clip without an obnoxious “reaction” clip just as cancerous as the dab itself.

I don't pay attention to Rainbow Dash so, I guess I blocked that moment out of my memory. I think Rainbow Dash should be the only one who should use slang, she should be like Michelangelo from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,957 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 (edited) The show has been using slang for a while, "chillax" has been used more than once(I believe it was actually used in Winter Wrap Up). Not to mention, for characters like Pinkie or RD, using slang suits their characters Second, Fluttershy using woke was meant to make fun of that kind of behavior And lastly 29 minutes ago, ShootingStar159 said: At least they haven’t had anyone dab like in EQG. I legit know nothing about the dab other than it's a pose people really hate for some reason. Honestly seeing people getting legitimately angry over something so stupid and trivial is more hilarious than anything Just now, Sparklefan1234 said: I think Rainbow Dash should be the only one who should use slang, she should be like Michelangelo from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

BastementSparkle 20,334 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 I don't mind the occasional use of slang, honestly. Sure, it'd be annoying and jarring if characters started using it all the time, but every now and then is alright. Besides, Rainbow saying "Chillax" is totally a thing she'd do, and Fluttershy's use of "Woke" was part of her Hipster persona and meant to be a joke. If she'd said it totally seriously while as her normal self, maybe it'd be weird, but as part of the persona it's really no different from Goth Shy being all angsty. Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums! What have ya been up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care too much about those few moments of ponies using slang, although I wouldn't be comfortable listening to a pony (especially a mane 6) talking regularly in slang.

ManaMinori 4,146 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 hate it. MLP started out as a fantasy show that was packed with otherworldly elements and creatures of myth. Now it feels like millenial fodder with its slang and modern day tech and cities.
