... that technically the last story of mine that could count as a clopfic was Springtime for Shimmer. and that it was in 2016. So tonight, dear readers, we're getting a clopfic. More exactly, something of an "it had to be done" kind.
Working on retail and tech support for five years now has giving me some background so this episode hit close for me. It is intimidating - much more than some would say. You will be pulling stupid stunts and saying weird stuff to satisfy or circle-around the customer. Personas do emerge specially when uniforms are involved, and if you're not careful they will take over even off-shift. One of the scariest things I've experienced is finding myself as high-and-mighty and above
The new Fluttershy episode is bullshit. Even under extreme duress, Fluttershy would never classify raccoons as rodents! They're carnivora! Carnivora! Even I know that and I'm only a level 5 animal nerd! Fluttershy is level 20, epic prestige class animal goddess. Even if Equestria doesn't use a Linnaean-type classification system, they clearly have different teeth than rodents. Come ON!
A (fantastic episode) A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw) B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws) B (a good episode which still could have been better)
So, this episode has a message I did not expect to see in the show! Granted, a lot of messages in MLP: FiM have surprised me, but this is one I genuinely expected to never see in it, as it is such a fixated thing in human society that I simply did not think anyone would criticize it:
