Twilight Sparkle's voice actress has very large breasts

it looks like either some tumblr feminazis got askprincessmolestia deleted or hasbro C&D'ed the creator.
he uploaded one last picture to it just today and 2 hours later it was gone.
4chan is seemingly at war because of this right now.

Yeah, I guess enough people bitched about rape humour to get it either taken down, or harangue the owner into deleting the blog.

Because not enough people have heard Carlin's bit on rape and jokes about it.

ah, no, not quite it seems.
that was the first impression, yes, but appearantly, it was the hasjews.

wonder what the 4chan reaction will be.
i have found the thread and am following it ^^

Predictably, apparently some APM fans are threatening APM haters with rape.

*sigh* I keep trying to advance the theory that rape can be joked about (if you know what you're doing, see Carlin), but these fuckers on the internet keep defending rape jokes with rape threats.

Prak, do you really think anyone in the poni fandom has a fraction of the talent, taste, wit or humor of Carlin? Especially when Internet Mad?

Don't give a retarded kid the nuke launch codes and don't give Bronies a chance to interact with...anyone while enraged. Or the chance to pervert non Japanese Intellectual Property.

I am certain it's not poni fandom that is lacking in taste, but just guys on the internet.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 1:42 am

Yeah, these are the same kind of idiots who threatened people with murder and rape over the Dickwolves debacle.

Is anyone else annoyed that they're nearly halfway through the season and haven't even (explicitly) touched upon the whole "six key box" thing? I've read the speculation that various things are the keys, but even they reach the finale and say "oh hey, all this shit we've gathered just happen to be the keys!" I'd still consider that fairly lame writing.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 10:12 am

yeah, that is ever so slightly annoying and reeks of lazy writers i am afraid <.<

They'll likely touch on it in the next Twilight episode, which is oh, the next one.

It's been stated that they're going to test each of the Mane six of their element; which has so far just been Rainbow Dash and Rarity. So far, it's sounding like they're doing this kind of vague build-up toward the finale a-la Doctor Who rather than the previous season's approach of slice-of-life after slice-of-life followed with a big season finale without warning.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 6:51 pm

@Josh:
I thought next one is Pinkie Pie versus Weird Al Janovich Party-Off?

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 12:29 am

Except that the tests are coming off as Slice of Life still.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash have sufficiently interesting lives that for them it's fine, but Apple Jack's life is boring as shit and always comes with a lead anvil dropped on the viewer's head after having to sit through the absolutely least interesting family archetypes Equestria has to offer. (I'm just glad they don't go too southern in her accent)

I'm also not particularly interested in Pinkie's life, seeing as how I know someone like that in real life, and the only real difference is that Pinkie somehow manages to have good qualities too.

And Fluttershy... well, she'd be interesting with some actual character growth. If she were allowed to transition from "scared of absolutely everything" to "simply an introvert," then maybe her SoL episodes would be more interesting. Hell, ostensibly May the Best Pet Win was partially a Fluttershy episode, and her part in it was very good, because she was dealing with peopleponies she knew and a subject matter that was her thing.

Rainbow Falls bugged me too because I'm certain there are other pegasi in Ponyville that Dash could be training. Hell, Derpy's a disaster, but at least she can fly and fit through the same hoops the other ponies can, unlike SnowflakeBulk Bicep.

*snickers*
dat name ^^

yeah, derpy . . pirate derpy would probably fix the character up good.
lose depth perception, but you gain actually knowing which way your eye is looking and making heads and tails and wings of that too!
it would also get rid of the whole derpy controversy . . which by the way seems to be the next thing pinkiepony is going after if tumblr is any indication -.-
it would on the other hand make her a more boring character, because, aside from the eye-patch, she has nothing else then to distinguish her anymore.

I've actually seen growth out of her; she's not as much of a pushover, and this has been shown even after her teachings from the Minotaur. While not growth, her stare (a sign of that bad side) and knowledge of sewing and other stuff revealed over the seasons have revealed a more nuanced character.

Oh great, more people misconstruing "derp" as making fun of people with downs syndrome. Well, at least there's a better platform from which to argue against that than "er... uh... FREE SPEECH!"

Having fucked up eyes isn't terribly deep either, and her only other defining trait, so far, is that she's a klutz. The mane six could seriously help her in one episode where they give her an eye patch, sing a song and give her some practice dealing with lack of depth perception that then allow her to start showing more interests and personality. There's already some indication that she's a cloudcookoolander but not as bad as Pinkie. Hell, that's actually pretty good right there--She's Pinkie, love of baking and all, just not as WTFRANDOOOOOMMMM!!!!!

On Fluttershy, well, that's true. It'd be nice if she wasn't portrayed as scared of everything still, though.

Tell me again it's a show aimed at little girls, i dare you!

GOD DAMNIT HOW DID THIS REFERENCE NOT MAKE IT INTO THE FLUTTERBAT EPISODE????

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 10:33 am

Yeah, they should have said it in that episode . . i was waiting for somepony to do so . .

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 9:25 pm

Yeah, and I figured the only reason they didn't was because they couldn't get away with it.

Though I suppose they were setting up for Discord to say the famous line in this episode as they travel through that area...

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sun Jan 26, 2014 1:10 am

ok, watched the episode . .

so, aside from the fear and loathing in las vegas one . .
err . . was that a harry potter reference in there?
and the scene with the chair, the pull cord and the water from above . . was that showgirls or striptease?
or some other older movie i can't quite remember the title of right now . .

and discord did not say that line either . .
