World building racism? · 3:59am Aug 23rd, 2018

Racism, as often cruel and unjust as it is, I find good for world building in a story.

What about you? Are you over sensitive to deal with racism in a story, even if it makes it more realistic?

I personally find that if everyone gets on with sunshine and rainbows you make the story less believable. At the same time you really should show that there are bad or good people on both sides of the issue. Don't just make all ponies bad or all humans bad.

Reasons why racists still exist to this day · 11:50am May 25th, 2021

1. They didn't study or finish geography in school

2. They feel offended that others are knowledgeable about countries around the world

3. They were raised to be that way by their parents

4. They can't accept that times are changing

5. They grew up in a community that encourages hateful rhetoric

6. They want to hide their lack of intelligence from those who look different from them

Wow, that episode. · 6:02pm Aug 20th, 2016

Let me count the ways:

1) Everyone's headcanon regarding changelings was shattered in the best way possible.
2) Spike continues his newfound streak of actually being a well-written character.
3) There's a great moral about overcoming 'racism'.
4) Even the guardsponies are shown to be reasonably competent.

Again, wow.

Editor of Tangent kicked out of Worldcon for complaining about political correctness · 8:50pm Aug 24th, 2016

This past Friday, there was a panel at Worldcon called "The State of Short Fiction". Its description said,

More than just the magazines, short fiction is in a golden age, found in the magazine, online, in anthologies, and chapbooks. The field's editors come together to talk about what they are seeing, and debate whether there is a short fiction renaissance.

My greatest apprehensions for the new My Little Pony movie & generation. · 5:27am Sep 25th, 2021

Today MLP Generation 5 has been made available on Netflix, and on Saturday I’ll be seeing it with my friends in the Milwaukee Bronies. I’ve had an uneasy feeling about it, and finally putting much of that into words was helpful. It was certainly interesting, and I’d like to share it with other people. I’ve done so with only a few, but I want to put this out there before anyone thinks my opinion is contaminated by either seeing the movie, or something getting spoiled. Tomorrow I may be relieved,

Uganda Knuckles is just new-school blackface comedy minstrel bullshit, don't @ me. · 3:12am Jan 24th, 2018

Big googly eyes and huge lips were a staple of racist caricatures of black people. I imagine most people will pretend it isn't, but as a thought exercise, just google "racist caricatures" and you'll see the ancestors of the uganda knuckles shit that the internet is patting itself on the back over.

Challenge for white people: make an actually funny original meme that isn't just Stepin Fetchit or Mammy Jemima, but with a hip new millennial internet flavor.

Derpibooru and Censorship · 8:17am Aug 3rd, 2020

I didn't really realize the scale of the whole censorship issue on Derpibooru that spread to here as well. I suppose I have a bad habit of staying out of things like that until they personally affect me because I avoid drama where possible.

My thoughts on 'Sing', its controversy, and Illumination in general. · 5:19pm Jan 21st, 2017

Hey, all. Been a little busy, a little under the weather because of a 24-hour bug (literally; fever broke out yesterday, starting to go down now) so fics have been slow. Expect a ramble on the success of Warrior Meet soon, or the progress on Rainbow Dash and the Shameless Self-Insert, or lack thereof, on both counts.

Spur is probably the only dark-brown colored speaking pony in the whole show. Sorry Button Mash, fanmade episodes don't count.

Social Justice Warriors are racist. · 7:30pm Mar 8th, 2016

Holy shit, look at that clickbait right there.

Right this is just about a specific mindset that annoys the hell out of me, and it's fairly prominent in Australia.

Oh! Oh! I know how I should preface this! It's foolproof! I don't know why it's never been done before!

I'm not racist, but-

Anti-racism ad featuring Garnet · 2:31pm Oct 29th, 2020

Regarding the Hulk Hogan mess, and what it means to our culture. · 7:23pm Jul 24th, 2015

I woke up today to the news that WWE has severed their ties to Hulk Hogan over a scandal that was about to break. After considering it for a while, I decided I wanted to chime in on the topic and discuss Hogan, racism, and why this whole thing is a pile of crap.

This post will have none of my usual attempts at humor, so if that's what you're looking for, I advise tuning out now. If this topic is relevant to you, click below to see more.

Disrespecting Zebras · 10:16pm Sep 22nd, 2017

I used to believe that the most maligned canon creatures in the fandom were the Diamond Dogs and to some extent I still hold that position. But very close, maybe peaking in some cases, are the zebras. And I think that because they get disrespect in the most insidious ways possible.
