Relax Connor. We had no intention of continuing that discussion, not to worry. We can go back to talking about drugs like we usually do.

But I gotta say, I just love how this thread never ceases to shock and amaze

[edit]

Ha Ha! I'm at the top of the page and I won nothing!

I skimmed over the last page as much as possible and still managed to somehow absorb all of the gritty details of that conversation. And right as I was eating breakfast too.

Also, I did not realize we had any females amongst ourselves. The last one I can remember was DirtyPenguin / Classy Lyra, but I haven't seen her in forever.

That's a shame, StarGazer

We had a great discussion on Brony Demographics and Hoof Physiology, and people are going to skim over the entire thing all because Dac mentioned Horses having their alone time?

Go back and read that page, it will put hair on your chest.

I keed, I keed.

@Verbose

And when you finally posted your pic, we got superhero Verbose photoshops.

Verbose wrote: "John Joseco also portrays Megasweet as a girl in a sailor/serafuku uniform in his art."

I remember reading somewhere that Megasweet is a female, but I don't know the reason for the uniform.

@Daniel

Club me?

My body is ready.

Banhammers incoming for not loving me like you're all supposed to.

Exactly what the fuck do you guys do when I'm asleep? I read the last page in study hall, dammit. And I still can't make sense of this conversation. I'll just check it at home. Then I'll make sense of this train wreck.

Id say that for the most part, the conversation was pretty tame. It was just about pony hooves, megasweet, and how we all are handsome motherfuckers. Though horse masturbation and raping rick was mentioned once or twice.

What the hell was that?

Just men being men really… Except for twins who I have given an ultimatum.

As lulzy as this is, I say we lay off of twins. She's just trying to have fun on a pony thread. Speaking of which, I find this thread's lack of d'aaaw bombardment disturbing.

Rape + Ric = NSFW

I JUST walked in the thread when I seen your post. I was eating a taco too…

Killer otters? That seems like a bad B movie, and btw, another name change for right now. This is what I really intended to use before the WWE posters started posting.

Just letting you all know that I hate you, and if you see this post please just downvote it because I am a karma loving whore.

CBC. I see how it is. Nobody do anything, he's on the bad team that we all want to lose.

Its a USB 56k modem being used to hold a mug with a picture of a pig on it. Everything you say and do is invalid:

Madcat you say?

He's right. I don't hate you guys I just need a point for my team. I'll try elsewhere.

I will be watching some evangelion and when I get back I am going to talk to you guys about the raping thing.

That involves me….

What did I walk into?

You'll soon find out….

rape

Guys…….we were right. Dr. Whooves was a reference after all. Don't believe me? Have the Word of the Gods and Goddesses:

By the way, I said 'Gods and Goddesses' to give credit to the whole MLP team. So those of you who thought that Faust was given too much credit can rest easy now.

THEY KNOW

Random picture aside, which fanon pony do you think will receive recognition next? Hopefully the Dinky and Derpy relationship. Followed by Lyra and Bon Bon and CaraMac.

Can you tell me which staff member that is?

I'll update the article once I know.

lolnope

Most likely Lyra and Bon Bon in a platonic situation. To be honest, they already made an appearace in either the Cutie Pox or when Spike is first starting to realize his greed in Secret of My Excess (when Derpy popped up between the two.)

You could show Lyra and Bon Bon being closer than Caramel and Big McIntosh, because it's more socially acceptable to be female and hug your friends than it would be for males. They could play their "relationship" ambiguously, but with Big McIntosh and Caramel, anything you do would either be seen as "obviously acquaintances/coincidental" or "obviously romantically involved." If you place an overt romantic, homosexual relationship in a kid's show, Hasbro (if not the parents) would nix it in a heartbeat.

Dinky and Derpy would likely be seen as coincidental. Besides, f you have them together in an obviously close relationship, then you'd have to consistently show the two together. I really don't think that DHX is going to bother with that consistently.
 
 
I don't really want anymore nods towards the fans for a while. We know they know who we are, and we know they care. That's all I need to know. I feel like I'm fanserviced out for a while. Just me.

I'd rather see more aspects of the mane six and the secondary characters. RD's episode is going to be great, I know. I'd like to see more from Big Mac (if not an entire episode.) Scootaloo needs a two-parter in the worst way imaginable. It's really not fair to the poor filly.

Haven't we been over this? They wouldn't put any sort of gay shipping in a show like this. Our society (sadly) isn't at the point where it's comfortable letting young children know about homosexuality. The only way we'll ever see it is in the form of really ambiguous shoutouts (see Lyra and Bon-Bon in the Derpy scene of Secret of my Excess).

I think we've already seen Octavia get 'recognition', and by that I mean we got a close up of her cutie mark. That's not much, so I'd still like to see more of her. More importantly, I'd really like to see a reappearance of Scratch. I know she already got a pretty big reference in Equestria Girls, but I think it would be great if she were to appear in the show without shades, showing off her red eyes. That would honestly blow my mind. I'm probably have a fangasm of 'omg-Derpy-talked' levels.

…

Too easy.

EDIT I think you may have noticed how that originally sounded. Of course, I'm just messing with you.
 
 
But yeah, I'd like to see Vinyl with red eyes too. I think the ideal situation is for someone to ask her to play some ridiculously, out of place song, and she responds merely by tipping her shades (revealing her eyes…to be whatever color…) and then goes back to DJing.

Haven’t we been over this? They wouldn’t put any sort of gay shipping in a show like this. Our society (sadly) isn’t at the point where it’s comfortable letting young children know about homosexuality.

We can no longer make the argument that its a children's show:

Can someone explain, what is with the "fangasm" over Derpy talking. A character talked on a show. Yes, I know she hasnt spoken for about 99% of all episodes. "Muffins" in one episode and then there was that a week ago. Internet exploded with information about Derpy talking, meme after meme. Im happy she spoke on the show, she is a cool character but that is going overboard. Like winning the lottery and getting millions of dollars. People were that happy/excited.

Um…. I got nothin on that. I have zero idea why people wouldnt shut up about it. A character on the show is talking, holy fucking shit. Someone call the president, the military, the pope!!

We can no longer make the argument that its a children’s show:

Oh?

The first one is just goofy. Being older and having less pure minds, we can easily see that as being suggestive. However, if I need to go into more detail, I'd argue that it's less of an air hump, because Dash's more aggressive movement is away from what she is "humping" and not towards it. It was made to appear like a silly motion.

A look of satisfaction would be seen from any animated character after receiving something they haven't had in a while. There is a nod to the fact that it could be seen as alcoholic, but it is cider as canon.

Butt ramming is odd, but considering that they are ponies and not humans, it's hard to make that any bit sexual. At the most, you could say that it was sensual, but there are plenty of dances I've seen for much younger audiences that require kids aged 6 or less to shake their butts or their hips.

…I don't really have much argument for Fluttershy being embarrased, but it's already been stated that ponies don't wear clothes.

 
…

Ok, I'm not making a great point here. I'm mostly rationalizing. But you know that it's targeted toward the young girl demographic. The show would be put off of the air if homosexuality came up. I think you know that. I don't think your point was to say that homosexuality can be put on air without backlash.

I'll grant you that some of the humor was made with a complete awareness of wear The Line was without crossing it.

Can someone explain, what is with the “fangasm” over Derpy talking.

• A non-speaking background pony
• In a show for young girls

• was given a personality
• a voice
• and an entire scene
• that drove the plot of an episode

• From fans responsible for Futashy.
• And more specifically, fans that are not of the target demographic.

You have to take into account that broneis are much more zealous than other people, because geeks get that way about what they really like. But what we essentially created became canon.

It'd be like a person making up a superhero and it becoming a character in a comic.
 
 
Broneis have conceived a part of the show.

Homosexuality is fine. People have got to learn to deal with it. Its the 21st century. I can certainly see how putting anything like that in the show would cause massive backlash. Not much I can say here, except that it sucks that the world hasnt learned to accept people as they are. Homosexual/bi/straight (i think my spelling sucks there) its all fine.

…. and u know what, now that homosexuality is the topic im outta here:

nah, I aint going nowhere

P.S. Im joking re: we can no longer make the argument it is a children's show.

@ Plats
Well, some people just like to point things out. Then they get obsessed over something that they think is an accomplishment. Finding an animation error is what set this off. They found something they thought of merit. Then it grew. And I have no idea from there.

I agree with Verbose; although it really shouldn't be an issue, it is. Members of the Tennessee State Senate are trying to forbid teachers from even talking about homosexuality before Grade 9, so the idea that it'll appear on a kids show is, well, ludicrous.

I've talked about this before. The exception to what I said above is Sesame Street; they had some gay characters on, but that's a very different situation – it's a far-better established show with a history of dealing with contentious issues. MLP is not, and therefore homosexuality will never be featured in the show.

I…I…. Im not even sure how to feel about that. That in no way is an accomplishment… okay. Derpy talking doesnt mean its an accomplishment nor is pointing it out an accomplishment

People need a hobby rather than obsess over a character talking. And u know what, Im obsessing over the fact that they obssesed over that, so Im outta here.

OK, back at the thread. Now let's see what shenanigans they have been-

I'm an open minded that likes knowing new stuff, but that horses do masturbate is just… just…
Please excuse me while I grab my mindbleach and try to unmagine the scene.

@Megasweet

The first time I saw she was a girl, I got surprised too knowing that a) It's a girl on the net and b) It was a girl on the net who draw lots and lots of porn!!!

But I recently heard some comments that she's in fact not a girl, what sparkled me some doubts. But untill she/he shows her/him self, I'll stick to the tits.

@Pony hooves
I honestly have no idea how in tarnation they do that

Also, you sharing messengers already? Yes! I'm having some complications with mine ATM, so as soon as I solve this shit, I'll share you mine (it has to be our own or we making everyone a new one just for this?)

EDIT: The thing with Dr. Hooves holding the hourglas being intentional was brilliant. My thanks to the supervisor.

But about Lyra and Bon Bon being togheter as a gay couple I really doubt that would be intentional. I don't think the show has moral to deal with these kinds of things (as we once discussed about it), and perhaps they are just shown as BFF's or something.

Derpy talking doesnt mean its an accomplishmen.

As much as I think about it sometimes, I would not say that we need a hobby. This is one of our hobbies, if not our only hobby. And that, in itself, is OK. Overanalysis and overzeal is weird, but it doesn't mean it's bad.

Now, because my edits got ninja'd, I'll reiterate:

The accomplishment is that out of demographic fans created a concept for the show. The creators put it into action, but we were the writers for a show. For girls. Young girls.

Some girl, who knows nothing about broneis, is running around thinking about how cute Derpy was. And how she really hopes to see her in an episode again.

Without broneis, that girl doesn't have that thought. It's not a huge accomplishment, but I think it's certainly an accomplishment (not saying it's saying a good one or a bad one.)
 
If you think that this is an adult show, then you're simply wrong. If you don't think it's targeted toward girls, then I'd say you're wrong. If you think that DHX can put in homosexuality into My Little Pony without more trouble than what it's worth, then you're being a little idealistic. I'd like to see it in more shows, but the world (or the US, at least) isn't ready for that. FiM is no Seasme Street/MLK.

I love it how every time I come back to the thread the topic is… something like this.

how much of this thread, is still pony related?

lol

When I saw derpy talk for the first time I made more noise than a football fan makes when their team wins and I regret nothing. Because it was awesome.

And no I will not get a hobby.

Oh, good. Ed wasn't mad at me. He was mad at the obsessive ones. At least……………I hope he's not mad at me.

@404

Its true. This is now KYM Drug General

But seriously, go back and actually read the thread 404.

We are were talking about the popularity of Derpy which is significant because she is a canonical character that Bronies created. That's why many Bronies became incredibly excited to see her appearance

As I have explained before, watching Derpy go from an animation error to a canonical character is like watching your child learn to walk for Bronies. She's our baby. We made Derpy what she is now. Once you realize that, the fuss becomes more understandable

We were also talking about the possibility of showing a homosexual relationship in the show which of course will never happen. Not until society learns to stops making homosexuality such a taboo thing. That and the fact that homosexuality is simply not a subject that the show needs to address

All of this is pony related

You want pony?

Have a demon pony instead.

Conor, I had that in my DA watch stack. It is a prime example of AWESOME. Our glorious Queen of the Night, Nightmare Moon.

I wouldn't say "over-obssesed" – people always liked Derpy since the very begining of the fandom and have always been interested in seeing how the writers would script her. So naturally, there was going to be a big response when she finally talked.

Oh and I see Verbs is still using "bronei" instead of "brony".

Soon, you will all be broneis!

I'm going to reiterate what Iamslow said.
@Ivan

@BSoD

You're right about she being our baby. It looks like yesterday the first time we saw her.

Bigger version

I remember seing her eyes for the first time. So derped….so beautiful…. snif
They grow up so fast….

You took that out of context, the sentence says "…she is a canonical character in the show that bronies created." The "that bronies created" is referring to Derpy, not the show itself.

EDIT: Yes, I'll admit that the sentence is confusing, but there is no denying the fact that Derpy is completely our creation.
