So I heard some of you weren't bending over.

>2012
>not bending over when a lady asks you to

Savages.

Why am I more worried by that wiggling horn than the text?

@Joe & Iamslow

Try it.
Tell me to bend over one more time! I dare you! No! I double dare you mutherf###er!
(ahem)
I submit to no one. I do not tolerate rape.

You seem a little flustered, friend.

Spoiler: click on the image.

I take those 5 bits. Turn around, go to Sugarcube corner and buy some pies or cake or some shit.

I ain't kissing no goddamn horses.

Oh Dacky-kins…you make ridiculing your farmboy ways far…far…too easy.

I don't think that my 'life' is all she wants to get into…
But who could say no to that face?

"I know just the mare…"

Run, Rainbow!
Run!
…
Or fly!
Flying would be better!

Pardon me while I proceed to kiss a yellow pegasus on the cheek, and receive one on the forehead from the same.

>mfw neighsayers:

I'd never kiss a pony full on the lips, but I think I am okay with this much. I still would rather just have a hug though…

Oh, and what's this about horses? These ponies are practically human, and they're certainly just as tidy as us. Rarity even hit the spa twice in one day for goodness' sake. Yep, very clean creatures…

…

Well, except for this one, but she's kind of an odd case. We don't really let her out much.

Hey guys. I haven't posted in a while, sorry about that. It's because some of the stuff you guys talk about is just over my head and I don't feel like I have much to contribute, but I'm gonna try to change that.
@ ben dover thing
…
yeah I think I'll avoid that one
@ kissing booth
How much would it cost to have one of the ponies lick my face?……what?

Question: can someone please crossover MLP with Rocky and Bullwinkle?

I used to watch that show all the time as a kid.

"They all gasp seem to think gasp that I'm gasp into all this kinky shit! gasp I just wish gasp that they wouldn't gasp tie the ropes so tight gasp every time!"

3 bits for fluttershy please.

@The whole Bend over

Did you make this macro, Popper? Hahaha nice

But this brings up another point. This is actually spreading quite heavily around the Brony community here and that's bringing more interest into "Bend over" in general

But I don't see a lot of evidence of "Bend over" being used as a meme around the web. Right now its just appears to be a growing trend within the Brony circles here only, propagated by ourselves. I hope this doesn't become the next Cheeto

On the other hand we already know that it's not an MLP specific thing either. It's been in other macro's.

I'd like to see more research done into "Bend over" and see where all these macro's are coming from. I want to know if it's something we are propagating ourselves or something that is trending in other Brony communities which is being reflected here. Perhaps the first thing worth answering is is it a forced meme? It's starting to seem like it is.

I'd write this in the comment section on the article itself but right now it looks like people are all over the damn place. Either going on mass negging sprees or expressing nothing but butthurt. I hate it when people can't get over their butthurt and just scream "+1 DAEDPOOL COZ I DUN LIKE DIZ". I can't get a conversation going there so I'm bringing it up here.

Is "Bend Over" a meme? Discuss.

I personally wouldn't consider "bend over" a meme, more of a joke within the brony community. Let's give it a while, see if it continues to spread, then we'll see if we can call it a meme or not.

Also, Rarity is second best pony.

Is “Bend Over” a meme? Discuss.

I've never heard of it till today actually.

ITT:

Dude…. Honestly what the fuck? Many regular users here know that I am not very "dorky" and tend not to like conventions and cosplay, but to call the people who do " unclean filth"? That's just so stupid I'm not even gonna counter any of your stupid points.
"While social norms are not mendatory, completely throwing them out the window is outrahous and uncceptble"
I have always said this so I agree, but who said that the majority of bronies are " throwing social norms out the window"? That's a huge generalization. Anyways, who are you to talk? Using proper spelling is a social norm, but you've obviously thrown that out the window.
I swear, you need to calm your tits. Every post you make is just a misinformed rant full of butthurt and packaged in bad grammar. Sorry to be rude, but when you call people you don't even know "unclean" than you can expect to get some rude responses.

Is “Bend Over” a meme? Discuss.

No it is not a meme, it is merely an inside joke at the moment which was created from our boredom. If it continued to spread to other sites and other users could identify it then it might be considered a meme. Currently, it can be identified as a force meme because we are propagating amongst ourselves. I personally feel like it will not spread to other sites and it will ultimately wind up as the next Cheeto of KYM which we will joke about now and then, but it will not affect the fandom greatly.

^ What Tim basically said. Currently the whole Rarity bend over thing is just a fad or inside joke, not a meme. But then again, like I've said before elsewhere, having spread beyond a certain fandom is not a must for something to be a meme. It helps in showing spread, but isn't needed. The argument of "forced" is also a popular one, but I'm calling it invalid. If a meme spreads with succes, it's a meme, forced spread or not. But I'd like to see the end of the month first, by then the whole bend over thing with Rarity has most likely died out.

As for the current page, I changed it so it applied to bend over in General. But feel free to upload all these Rarity related image macros. If it spreads to really notable meme levels, I just return it to its original state and change the title. I'll then add the usage of bend over as a catchphrase as a precursor in the origin section in that case. Giving both a mention that way, but keeping the focus on Rarity and MLP.

Can I propose a new topic you guys? Anyways, new topic. What do you think it was like in Discord's reign of chaos? This is my headcannon for what happened in that time.

@Tim and Random

Thanks for the input, I accept your answers.

@BSoD
Yeah, that was my idea. Seeing how much it fit, I did it.
As for a meme, I would go along with Tim & Random. I wouldn't suspect it to last for more than a week. It's a fad, but not necessairly a meme.

Now, to improve my view of the character after the "bend over" craze, I would like to thank whoever made this:

I'm not sure if it's the same artist, but I really do enjoy these World War II pics.

@Zarathh
Same headcanon

EDIT-@DeadParrot
Thanks a bunch! Wow, those pics of her's are great!
Oh, and Rarity would probably be more like this:

I swear Rarity's trying to change professions from seamstress to proctologist.

Oh god I loved this movie. This is the first time I've seen it ponified. Good work, artist.

@Popper
Here's the source of that Rarity picture for you: SOURCE
You can go thank them directly now! =)
I've seen a lot of her stuff around and it's all great!
(She has quite a lot of Rarity in there, too!)

I think we know how Rarity would react to this whole 'meme' thing…

@Bend over:

I would consider it a term that's used somewhat often, even before the deal with Rarity, but I wouldn't exactly call it a meme, yet. It's a phrase, kind of like 'prepare your anus', that had some memetic value because a lot of image macros used it. At the moment though, I don't see it as a full-fledged meme, and I would merge it with Prepare Your Anus (if we have an article for it) in a week or two if we don't see significant spread.

@Zar:

Actually, I'm writing a fan-fic about my headcanon so damn bad-ass procrastination is keeping its distance.

Which is fucking amazing, because it's muddled in the affairs of a dozen others I should have completed by now.

@Rarity's response to all of this:

Yep, she totally doesn't want us to bend over.

I don't know if anyone here makes PMVs, but could someone please make one of the Flim Flam brothers singing this song:

>Gets finished working outside
>Goes inside to get a glass of water and take a look at the image gallery
>Sees an image dump of overused unfunny jokes
>Mfw

@Zarathh
He's just a fail troll. Downvote, and move on.

And that's the day Rarity became Seal Clubba. Have fun, you two.

Hey guys what's goin o-…

I see you guys found the Bend Over thing.

How could we avoid it?!

Bend Over
its just an inside joke like rob ford i really can't see this becoming a meme

Well, it's become a thing on Tumblr and it's already dying.

i guess we should wait for 9gag to pick this thing up so then we can know its dead for sure

They're trying to force a tired joke to be a meme?
I guess you could say…

They're beating a dead horse!
HAHAHAHAHAhahaha…ha…

Okay, fine!
It wasn't great.
Just stop looking at me like that!

For anyone who wanted to download from the Ponibooru super-torrent but couldn't (pretty much anyone without a Mac), someone over on Derpibooru has written a script that will do it for you!

Here's the link: PONIBOORU DOWNLOADER
It will take a while to run, but it seems to be quite effective!
It even lets you filter out tags that you don't want.

Is that….no….it can't be…..

THEY PUT DERPY ON AN ACTUAL PRODUCT!

Meanwhile in the Soviet Union:

This can be a good and bad thing for The U.S. o.o

SWEET GRACIOUS MOTHER OF THE FORCE!

Stop quoting large images unless you're quoting from the previous page, blah blah blah, what do I care, you'll forget like you did the last several times I've said it.

Where have you been?
Derpy is (or technically 'will soon be') a real product, muffins and derp eyes included!

@Deadparrot

Do you know when it will finally appear in the shop?
