Bonus Chapter: Trotflix Comedy Controversy

THE FOAL FREE PRESS
TROTFLIX COMEDY CONTROVERSY

Select employees of Trotflix, the largest media producer in Equestria, staged a walkout today after taking issues with the content in Hay Cloppelle's newest comedy special, The Clopper. Mr. Cloppelle is accused of 'punching down' at the LGBT community, which has ironically made more strides in the past few decades than arguably any other marginalized group of equines.

"I don't 'punch up' or 'punch down', I just punch. I'm an equal opportunity offender," Cloppelle stated when asked for his response to the protests.

We reached out to local stand-up comic Maud Pie for her input to the controversy.

"Jokes are funny," was her only thought on the matter.

Princess Twilight Sparkle had considerably more to say.

"I don't get it. Does Trotflix not have any applications pending? Give these confused fragile bozos the boot and bring in some new, fresh talent. It could only improve the quality of their content anyway, when the ponies currently protesting base everything on identity instead of actual skill when it comes to filmmaking and comedy."

Despite pressure, Trotflix continues to air The Clopper.

Author's Note:

Been awhile since I've offended anypony with this story.

Let's change that.

Thought for a moment we were going to get a FIMFic version of Bo Burnum's "Welcome to the Internet"

Wait, what the heck happened? I heard people bitching about Chappelle's special, but no specifics. I'm totally out of the loop.

That is such a great song. That whole special was fantastic.

Almost exactly what I've put here.

People staged a walkout/protest, and a couple others had a counter protest merely holding signs that said "jokes are funny", and got harassed and nearly assaulted.

Jesus, as if the world isn't crazy enough, especially with COVID still happening.

That's what pushed me to make this chapter.

😁 I mean, wow, Miles, I would almost call you PC Principal from South Park for making jokes like these.

Not sure who that is, so not sure if that's a compliment.

Watch South Park season 19, I think. You'll know.

Fucking agreed, that special was one of the few new good things come out of that site lately.

Yep.

Some counter-protesters actually did get assaulted from what I saw.

Here's a video from one of the counter protestors.

My dearest Mistress Headmistress Empress Dictator Princess Twilight Sparkle,

I do not have an opinion on this one way or the other, please tell me what to think. I do not get Trotflix in my lean-to behind the castle. I do not know much about them except that they suck when it comes to anime. Refusing to release anime in Equstria on weekly basis as episodes premiere and instead waiting three to six months until the anime completes its season. Or with the new Komi Can't Communicate anime where they do not even bother to try to properly subtitle everything. Really, I have heard nothing but bad things about Trotflix.

Signed your loyal slave and otaku,
Neko Majin C.
