Anyone have a problem they want to talk about here? Anyone want to help those problems? Here's the place to do it. I feel as a community, we should be able to help each other out when we're not in our finest hour.

Well. It turns out my friend did a complete Face Heel Turn (google it), and made a complete Rarity hate group, dedicated to trading death threats and wishes against her. He's also compared her to Hitler, as well as many other sensitive world events. He's COMPLETELY serious, unfortunately. Now one of my best friends has blocked me for calling out his moral issues, and I'm left to wonder where I went wrong. Whether it was having morals or finding bloodlust after an innocent pony a non-acceptable trait, I don't know... I'm completely serious about the group, by the way. www.fimfiction.net/group/197578/fk-rarityI don't even know what to think anymore... |

Whether it was having morals or finding bloodlust after an innocent pony a non-acceptable trait, I don't know... I don't even know what to think anymore... That a brony would consider doing such a thing outside of a jest, let alone actually following through, is a travesty, I say. I personally feel there are certain things that should not be related to ponies: hate, gore, and grimdark being chief amongst them. I think the bronies that participate in hate-mongering should have their brony licenses revoked. I am a little persnickety... Just remember though; you can negate his negativity by spreading the Gospel of Generosity. I guess what I am saying is to Pony On - do not sink into the mire but instead bring those six traits to the world around us. We shall saturate our environs with the Love and Tolerance that many bronies stand by. |

All I say here is that in Season 1, especially the first half, Rarity was the pony most in need of a slap. As far as death threats? That's just crazy.

Copy-pasted from a post I made in another forum.
I'm not much of an emotional man. I'm supposed to be what they call the "Strong, silent" type. In other words, a Big Macintosh by any other name. For a time, I thought I took that title a little too much to heart and stood strong while death started surrounding me. First my aunt died, then my grandmother, and finally one of my best friends killed himself by ODing on painkillers. During all of these, I didn't shed a single tear, not because I wanted to, not because I was appethetic, but because I felt that a strong person was needed and I was that strong person. I had to hold back my emotions.
Then came earlier today, I was rewatching the season finale and I wanted to cover at least one of the songs. I saw it once before and, nope, it didn't break me either, but in the midst of me rewatching the 3rd song, I broke down. This was not liquid pride, ladies and gentlemen, this was pure depression here. All three deaths just came back to me and I cried like a little girl. Even now I'm still suffering from the aftershock. Who knew that a song about a depressed unicorn would be the straw that broke the camel's back?
Which makes me wonder: In Augustine's Confessions, he questions why good theater is making the audience feel sympathy, "Suffering for yourself is misery, and suffering because someone else is suffering is empathy." He says this because the events that happen in a drama are supposed to reflect on things people have been through in life and felt misery, or another time felt misery but didn't express it, or in my case, the latter and the fact I hold many regrets, like maybe I take my life for granted at times and I don't give my parents/family/friends/church members love, or (In the song's case) I let them down, and Twilight singing about letting her friends down and them suffering from her mistake made me sob like, I don't know, a human.
This isn't a bad thing, no sir, but I wanted to share this because a minute long song was all it took for me to give in, and it's been tormenting me all day. My past demons and mistakes are taunting me, and I just need a hug. Luckily I have plushies already, but next time I'm at Wally World, Twilie is mine.
