//------------------------------// // Bonus Chapter: Trotflix Comedy Controversy // Story: Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student // by milesprower06 //------------------------------// 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.
