Do you dislike the Cake Twins?

[fare67t 242]

Perhaps I am alone in this, yet again, but I honestly cannot stand the Cake Twins: Pumpkin and Pound Cake.

I'm sure they are rather accurate portrayals of how babies in real life act, so I guess they got that right...?

But that's also why I dislike them greatly, as well as kinda don't mind Flurry Heart that much: they act like actual babies, and I truly dislike / kinda hate babies / toddlers irl. Will I still prefer to not watch Flurry episodes? of course, but she's not NEARLY as bad as the twins.

But I'm sure like pretty much everywhere else, I'm alone in this / will be yelled at for even thinking of insulting newborns

[Will Guide 21,325]

No way. They're just babies. Everyone was a baby at some point

Just Imagine as they got older, they developed their own personality and skills. Pound Cake could become a strong gym instructor. Pumpkin Cake could go into the food industry as a taste taster

And given Flurry Heart showed no fear to Thorax even in "scary" Changeling form, I like to think she has an innate ability to tell if the people she comes across have good or bad intentions. If Thorax really was a bad Changeling, Flurry would have started crying as a way to warn the others. Simple as that.

Not in the slightest. They’re adorable. Plus I find it hard to hate babies in general fictional or otherwise.

I wasn't a fan of "Baby Cakes" but they became more tolerable afterwards.

yeeeeeeep, there it is: the one thing every single person has to say to me at least once whenever I mention that I dislike babies

Congrats x3

I don't want to offend, but I'm not going to lie on my opinion.

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

They’re fine. They’re just cute little babies.

Sure I’m not a huge fan of infants in real life... or rather, I’m not a huge fan of infants when they’re screaming their heads off because their parents are careless and drag them around at all hours of the day when they should be home napping...

I dislike crap parents way more than their kids.

Well for one, @Will Guide didn’t say that to you specifically. He answered the question displayed in your title. Don’t ask questions you don’t want answers for.

If you dispute the truth of his statement, then offer an actual rebuttal instead of meaninglessly snarking.

Second, few people approve of the “I hate this human being for something that they cannot help” school of thought. Sure babies can be snotty little noise makers, but they’re not doing it on purpose and will eventually grow out of it.

But as long as you’re fine with the fact that others probably hated you as an infant, then at least your not being hypocritical about it. The hypocrisy is what gets people angry, since we all were just as slobbery at one point.

Yeah, they're not for me. I just don't like kids of any sort, to be honest. Baby Cakes is one of my least favourite episodes. But they're okay afterwards.

...Consider me guilty as charged then.  I mean, I don't take it out on kids ever, but at the same time..... they make me nervous.

See, I don't really like that thought, personally. Even when I was like 4, I never did well with babies.

That’s fine then. Nothing wrong with not really liking babies. Like I said, I don’t really love them either. But just don’t hold it against them. It’s not their fault that infancy is unavoidable.

The remark on the whole "you were a baby once" was more of an "okay okay, I get it, enough" thing, since I hear that EVERY time I mention I don't like babies. It's like when the actress that played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies kept having people be like "HEHE, 10 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR" every single time they would do / achieve something, it gets old.

And i'll admit that hate is a strong word, I dislike them.

I dislike that they stare at me when i'm eating out for lunch, makes me uncomfortable

I dislike that they have that defense mechanism of "omg, something is weird and foreign to me...time to cry!"

I dislike that they can't really control various bodily functions, so you have to take care of them

I severely dislike that humans have this naturally built-in function of which everyone clusters around a baby to protect it like each and every one is practically the second coming of some god, and that any criticism against them is met with people scolding you / wanting to jump down your throat.

are any of these things me "holding it against them"? No, I just dislike a lot of things that they do, even if they can't help it.

But really, like...why are people fully allowed to hate the various phases they go through such as adolescence, but the moment they mention they disliked being a baby / babies in general, its suddenly not okay? a lot of mental phases, people can't help either.

Newborns are an occasionally cute pain in reality, but they can be much more fun in fiction. Really, the only thing I don't like about the show's babies is that they're not allowed to grow up, and that's not unique to them - they're just the least subtle about it.

I’m trying to sympathize, but basically you’re saying you dislike nature. It’s like disliking rain (or any other weather). Sure, you can dislike rain, but continuing to let yourself be bothered by something you cannot stop (and in reality, shouldn’t stop even if you could) is an exercise in futility and a waste of your energy.

I will say that, yes, people shouldn’t get SO up in arms about others not liking babies. But the instinct to protect them is ultimately a good thing. We’d all be dead without it.

And as far as the staring goes, maybe someone has told you before, but that just means they like and/or are fascinated by you. And unlike older children or adults staring, there’s no judgement behind it. Just interest.

90 percent of the time if you look back at them, and give them a smile and a little wave, they’ll either bust out in a huge smile, or get shy and look away.

[Venomous 18,813]

I did dislike them as infants because I dislike infants/children in real life. They were a bit too annoying for my liking. I know that we only got one episode dedicated to them but it was enough to remind me that.

I mean, i've started recently just not really caring / looking away when babies are involved.

Do they still bother me a little? yes, but I don't really "waste energy" disliking them. Okay so I blow some hot air online and irl at times, but i'm not like...doing stuff to really show dislike other then say things.

Anywaaaaay, this thread is derailing quickly so I shall return it to the OG idea: I dislike the Cake Twins because they aren't really allowed to be anything other then babies in that one episode they were featured in.

This is another thing. like I said, I don't hate on Flurry Heart because she's actually a character. The Cake Twins just sit around and do baby things, and do a rather annoying job at it.

There are indeed babies in other media such as movies and other shows that I'm fine with / find rather cute

Hell, baby animals are cute

There's just a certain like...mixture of character and baby-like attitude that clashes / I dislike.

dont want kids, never have.  all the cake twins did is remind me exactly why i dont want kids

Hehe, totally fine x3 I just didn't find myself looking away / cringing as much during Flurry sections as I did with the twins.

[Tacodidra 59,772]

I'm fine with them. They're nowhere near my favorite characters on the show, but I feel they're more interesting than the average baby character in cartoons – I guess their pegasus and unicorn magic is to thank for that. But Flurry Heart is still best baby.

Spoiler

Also, let's not forget the glorious moment when Pumpkin Cake became an alicorn. One of the most hilarious errors in MLP.

I didn't like baby cakes but I liked them after that.

Tbh they are both kinda bratty.

There's a big gap between that and tolerating other peoples, though. Especially if you have more parentally-inclined friends and siblings.

[IronM17 5,145]

I can not say that I dislike the twins, I just dislike the baby designs of them, but that stands for all MLP babies. I really can not stand these little button eyes and these big heads. It looks just strange. Why can not all babies looks like Flurry Heart with normal eyes? Why these creepy button eyes? But I actually can not udnerstand why poeple would hate them how they act. They are babies, babies always act in this way. And to be honest, they act more realistic than OP-Flurry. 

Btw.: I really love the adult designs of the twins, especially Pumpkin. She looks really cute in my opinion. ^^
