That's still not what I mean. I'm referring to a creator, on the show, outright saying that Rainbow Dash is heterosexual
When has this ever been said?

Dude, the show is meant to be kid-friendly, sexuality, any kind of sexuality, doesn't enter into it. Nothing about these characters is canon unless it's been run through Hasbro, everything else is speculation and not to be taken seriously.

So if you actually want to know the answer about RD's sexuality, I have it. She's neither, every single character in this series is, and will always be ASEXUAL. Stop acting like there's some sense to this discussion.

For argument's sake, there are fillies, and Lauren herself has said that they use normal mammalian reproduction.

Hmm… we're not on the topic of R34 still, I'll just leave this here then.

And giga:
@Connor the Brony
Faust herself said that pony’s reproduce through STANDARD mammalian reproduction , last time I checked two standard mammalian females can’t reproduce with eachother.
Can we stop talking about pony genetics now?

By saying that people are going to draw drunk Berry Punch? They've been drawing Berry drunk way long before I made that comment.

Just because it is implied that sex exists in this world doesn't mean that the characters have any sort of sexuality that can or ever should be expressed canonically. The dog from Tom and Jerry has a son, but you never need to know how he got it. (I could probably think of a better example if I tried.)

I AM talking canonically though, if people want to say Dashie's a lezbo I can't stop them, but no one can argue that it's anything but fanon.

But in conjunction with the above post about.. durr… you don't get that? seriously??? fuck it!

But wouldn't be strange for teenage males to just talk about the events that happen in a show for little girls. It's the fandom and the fanon that are the reasons we (speaking as myself) love it.

I'm surprised people don't make more non-pony equine FCs, just think of the possibilities!

What your looking at here is my nunchuck spitting guard Llama character. I've yet to name the fellow.

If you don't think the show is good enough to warrant people discussing it's events then I don't think you're really a fan of the show.

This isn't the Sonic fandom, shouldn't you like the show for it's own merits and not because of the weird s**t the community pumps out? The fanon and community made stuff is just the icing on the cake.

If you're talking about the deal that was below that post, I just up and ignored that section like it was suggested.

I've been tempted to make engineering designs or write papers for seeing people fail at them but then I remembered this: Too Lazy; Did not Do

Nope. I think the community is doing a pretty good job. While the majority of fanfictions aren't very good (something we should expect from a bunch of amateur writers), I find that most stories getting a 5-star or 6-star rating on Equestria Daily are pretty entertaining to read. I have a fairly open mind when it comes to fanfiction content, so I don't think the community is doing anything wrong by straying from the official canon, creating dark storylines or shipping characters.

While I'm on the topic of fanfiction, I read one yesterday called Spark that I'd like to recommend to any readers. It's from Avery Strange, the author of 'Kindness's Reward', and has a rating of 4.9/5. It does involve some TwiLuna shipping, but it's not overly shippy for the best part.

reads first few posts on the page
What is this I don't even… ER… ANYWAYS…

So here's my question… what governs the apparent sentientality of animals within the universe? All of them seem to be reasonably intelligent (Fluttershy can talk to most of them for example), but only ones with hooves (in addition to mythical creatures) seem to be able to actually talk. I was just curious if we have an explanation for that yet.

Dunno, bro. ponyshrugs

I just find it strange with how the cows are okay with being held in barns and milked. And, why does the Apple Family keep pigs?

Why indeed.

I'm guessing mythical creatures+ponies are sentient but any other animals are just smart versions of our own.

That doesn't explain the Buffalo and the Cows though.

I would hazard a guess that if you take all fanfiction (not just pony) on the internet, about 99% would be utter garbage.

It's just the way the world works I'm afraid. :(

Interesting question, but ponies gotta eat too.

But it seems to me that the only reason people write grimdark and shipping fics is because they can't accept the fact that the fandom revolves around a cartoon. So they write ridiculous fanfiction that paints the world with sex and violence because they can't overcome their own need for every aspect of their entertainment to be "mature". Ironically, the result is far less mature then the source material they feel isn't good enough.

Not to mention, romance and drama are some of the easiest forms of writing, comedy (good comedy) is infinitely more difficult.

tl;dr, what is everypony talking about? I dislike the lack of cute pictures.

Anyhow, I'm reading http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/story-u-harmony.html at the moment, it's actually pretty good. Comedy-shipping at it's best. :D

Alright, Platus and I have finished giving the Sitting Lyra page a major update. Please tell what you think about it.

>Sees posts discussing sexual preferences on a show for little kids.

@RandomMan
Diggin the new set-up. Although I miss the picture of Lyra crying because she can't make hand turkeys.

PS
Rule 34:
3rd corollary:
Where there is porn, there will be discussion of sex and its related subjects (sexuality, shipping, reproductive biology, et cetera).

Blarg, people are missing the point of what I typed.
I find the fact people think Rainbow Dash is gay annoying as well, just like I dislike shipping.

Anyways, does anyone have the link to the original version of the theme, where only Pinkie sang it? I saw it somewhere on TVTropes I think, but I can't find it anymore.

I find it annoying too. Barrowman! Bronies!
