I do share the horror at recent events and genocides in the world and I don't think I will ever have faith in our institutions anymore - I didn't think I had any to begin with but it all has been made abundantly clear. It's been horrific.

However I disagree that human nature is to be innately genocidal and self centered and violent. Does a newborn child come into this world with innate genocidal bloodlust? I don't think people on this forum are some monsters either. I think the saddest realisation I have come to is that everyone is doing what they can in the ways they know how with the things they've been taught to believe and the psychic wounds they carry that have changed their personalities to what people perceive as evil or self centered actions. And it's harder to accept that complexity - it's definitely been challenging to my own belief system about people but I can't say my view has changed, it's just hard to separate my shock and anger from my views.

None of this excuses atrocities, though. Far from it.

But that leaves the problem with how people end up with such warped views in the first place, it goes a long way back in human history, sure, but something went wrong with human development along the way for lack of empathy to not only occur with some of our brethren, but also be idolized and something worth aspiring to.

Different cultures different social norms

I can see why some people would say this, what we humans find acceptable may not necessarily be true for an alien species in fictional worlds.

Friends may be easier to make there, but that does not mean they will find others social norms acceptable.

Don't ever say a curse word around Rarity in MLP

she may say something like "Darling, we don't use language like that here, could you please be more considerate with how you express yourself to others?"

Yeah don't ever use the word "damn" or "Hell" around her. Haha!

I'd choose that fantasy scenario for the same reason you would Kilahral 

 

The reason I wrote my MLP G4 fanfic the way I did, with the whole fictional reincarnation as a Pony plot, is because I would imagine having difficulty to adapting such a fictional world in my current condition, bringing others moods down would not be helpful, and to be born and raised with their values and social norms would make individuals more likely to be a positive influence there. Otherwise people would be bringing their problems and emotional baggage with them into alien worlds that break them.

If I were to go in that fictional world as I am now, which none of this is even possible, it would suck, and it would not be their fault, it would be my own for not being considerate of what they find acceptable and going into an unfamiliar world I had no adaptions to and it was too late due to my age and everything else, to make those adaptations.

pretty sure using curse words would not go down well with Ponies there, I know some others would probably do and behave worse in that situation. But I could see why they would find the use of such language offensive. I would not want to bring toxicity there, at all.

Nah, ponies swearing is honestly the funniest.

Honestly after Fluttershy Rarity is the one I expect to curse the most. Swearity. Golden outtakes.

I don't know about Luna, but I could not imagine the fictional character Rarity finding it pleasant, she has a strict adherence to polite conversation with her posh mid Atlantic accent. Anything she finds uncouth she does not hesitate to call others out for. And in some contexts I can see why, in relation to what I said earlier though swearing is not allowed in MLP FIM for obvious reasons, because of the target audience, and animation is family friendly, but even in adult contexts there are some forms of cursing that can be rude, such as name calling.

 

I don't know how Rarity would respond to somebody who uses Brit slang a lot and calls others "muppets" for doing something foolish, another way of saying that is berk.

but calling somebody "pr***k" or "c***" is definitely going to be something that would upset her, even if she heard somebody else being called that.

I hope I am not bothering people with this, I admit I am obsessed with this topic, sometimes I can find humour in it though, hopefully the rest of you can, if not, well, I kindly ask you to ignore it.

I wonder how Queen Chrysalis in MLP would respond to a Pony with a Brit accent and that Pony got cheeky and said this to her and her entire Changeling horde 
 

"Well well well, looks like I found the holy grail of muppets!"

Yeah that is likely to irritate her and get the Pony kidnapped.

I don't think she would know what a muppet is but she'll get the idea that it isn't a compliment based on the tone... unless someone convinces her that it's actually flattering to be called a muppet.

Poneleaks video had Rarity saying "f me hard"

oh my goodness, what is this? My Little Pony abridged series? that is a dark joke to make about her and Spike.

Nothing like your sister messaging asking you if you miss your old neighbourhood and then dropping a news article about a mafia execution happening in your neighbourhood recently.

Does the latter happen frequently?

Not super - there is the VERY occasional armed crime and mafia stuff but it is very unlikely it will affect your day to day life unless you are involved in such business. :p Usually killings are more political.

In this case they were only targetting some kind of mafia boss, nobody else was harmed.

The craziness levels of horrific incidents have definitely ramped up in recent years though. It's more black humour than anything else... it's really not great, funnily enough this incident is probably the most normal and small scale one in a while.

Edit: to clarify my neighbourhood is very safe typically, it's nuts in other ways lol

The Unknown Soldiers memorial feels like a hostage situation when you visit because the guards there have to be intimating, straight-backed, and always watching. Also you are not allowed to talk or else you will be thrown out.

The guards are really good at their job and it looks and sounds really tough because the only time you can leave your post is if a literally tornado is directly heading for you

Also you have to be a certain height, weight, haircut, and do everything perfectly without stopping for water until you switch out every half hour

lolol there is footage of the car of the killers on fire after they disposed of it and incinerated it. This happened at midday in broad daylight on a MAIN ROAD and apparently my sister and her mum had no clue this had happened (presumably the cops had to shut down the road and divert traffic) so when her mum was late to pick her up from work she exclaimed "lots of traffic today!"

What's gonna happen in the future? 

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,577]

I still cannot believe how rubbish magic is in DC Universe, how did it get to the point of sending a little girl to Hell because a mage on the side of good had his spell backfire? some drawbacks are acceptable, but not this, this is idiotic IMO. I guess gods in DC suck so much that they have no safeguards in place to prevent that. But this is not even the most egregious example of magic going wrong, the erasure of a multiverse because of incompetence of deities, is. Spectre is one of my least favourite characters as he had the nerve to punish Constantine for a problem he could have stopped.

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,577]

in My Little Pony FIM magic can be used but advanced types of spells have to be learned, they're not naturally given, as they should be, that said 

in my fanfic at least I would not have to worry about the erasure of a universe because a mage decided to open up a book they were not familiar with.

and any force of divinity that creates spells like that does not deserve their powers in the first place.

Not sure about Jesus, God and angels (not criticizing, I just don't believe it), but I agree about the rest.
