Oh ok, googled the princess in question that was a thing, dunno whether I should consider that part of a social experimenter or to just be weirded out by it.
Oh well live and learn, living on the edge of tomorrow
Sometimes I wonder if you guys feel uncomfortable seeing a picture of Joker (who murders and terrorizes a city while laughing) on the internet too...
1) I also find the joker unpleasant, and I think thats the point of the joker, he is unpleasent. He murdered my favorite robin and paralized my favorite batgirl, it in a weird way made them both better characters when one came back to life and the other decided to be a human super computer. But yeah still unpleasant
2) I find molestation to be unpleasant, I'm not a fan when its played up for jokes either most of the time.
So you can have a character meant to be unpleasant , and then enjoy him for what that is. And what he contributes to the plot
And you can also have a character who is unpleasant played for jokes, and you don't have to appreciate that. Writing is dynamic .
you mean being show accurate
Heh
The first episode of "Friendship is Witchcraft" (a very prominent abridged-style parody series) had a gag involving ponies lifting a "Welcome Princess Molestia" banner for the arrival of Princess Celestia, and Twilight complained that Princess Molestia's visit was next week (the joke being, she's not mad at ponies for writing something horribly offensive, she's mad that they can't keep the schedule straight).
JJ, a very prominent fanartist, also draws porn on the side. When he became a fan of MLP, he also started drawing pony porn. He tries to hide it away from those who aren't deliberately looking for it, but stuff always gets out. At one point, Nicole Oliver (Celestia's voice actor, who knows and likes JJ but doesn't like porn at all, and is willing to draw a line between the two) accidentally posted some of JJ's implied porn, without realizing the implication. JJ adopted the character of Princess Molestia as some sort of evil sexually-molesting twin of Princess Celestia, and made a borderline explicit "Ask Princess Molestia" tumblr. The joke is in having a character who looks exactly like Princess Celestia acting in a way that is completely unlike Princess Celestia.
There was eventually a nasty backlash against JJ's art, and Hasbro officially asked JJ to stop, and he apparently agreed. Now he just makes the inoffensive "Ask Gamer Luna".
To be fair, you didn't post her response either. I just spent a while looking, and I can't even find one. And they did post some of Ted's responses, which are the only relevant part.
IMO, Cutosphere is on the same level as JJ. Neither one officially belongs in MLP, but they both should have the right to say/draw whatever they want, and if you don't like it, don't look at it. Cutosphere (and others) screwed up by censoring JJ, and Ted screwed up by endorsing Cutosphere.
Oh ok, upon further review I think I get the whole of this situation.
Sorry if I am kinda slow on this, as you may have noticed, primarily a sanic and pokemans guy. I like this, the horses It started out as a weird social experiment in many ways it still is, but I actually enjoy a lot of the media coming out of it. However the former in the two things I previously mentioned is exploding and that is hard not to pay attention to. There dysfunction in the sega house and no one knows what it wants to do or be. Thats another conversation for another place. Sorry if I'm not already caught up on what horse bro's do and whats going in in the fandom, I would analyze that expect if I could catch it when it happens, but these hedgehogs are on fire and I cannot look away.
Ehh I don't see people calling for the writer to be fired when Twilight and Tirek had their big deathmatch at the end of season 4 though and that was canon; just saying.
I think that should have and should happen more.
I think thats what the series should have expanded into rather than " monster high but not tho" because kids already have that. That whole conversation is best saved for another time.
