Hmm... I'm sensing some kind of... subtext or something. A "theme," if you will, suffusing the entire story. Like, some kind of message is being put forth that only a fool would be unable to pick up on.


Eh, must just be my imagination.

...lovely premise, terrible execution. Forced political commentary = not funny.

“Yeah! Opening our doors to the Changelings was a great decision. I mean, just think about all the neat stuff they’re going to do for Equestria.”
Sunburst nodded. “I appreciate the cultural enrichment that they will bring to us. The massive influx of migrants will mean our economy grows. Wages for working ponies will increase due to the expanding economy.”
“Yep!” Spike laughed. “I can’t believe Luna wanted to build a wall. How stupid of her. Doesn’t she know how culturally enriched we’ll be with the new migrants?”
“And Celestia was sympathetic, too.” Sunburst sighed, shaking his head. “Ugh, those millennia-old alicorns are so old-fashioned. I mean, it’s twenty-sixteen, you guys! All that experience from the past is giving them such bigoted, intolerant, ignorant beliefs that don’t fit with the modern world.”
Spike groaned. “Twenty-sixteen, and you still believe in border control? That is so ignorant. What next? Spend an entire percent of our tax budget on national defense? Have our sports arenas sing the national anthem before a game? Make it legal to use a doormat that isn’t colored like the Equestrian flag? It’s so problematic!”
“Problematic,” Sunburst echoed.
“Racist.”
“Ignorant.”
Spike tapped a finger on his chin. “You know, it’s Thorax’s last day here before he goes to Canterlot to make those demands of Celestia.”
Sunburst cocked an eyebrow. “Celestia? But isn’t she a problematic, ignorant bigot? I mean, she’s a fucking white mare!”
Spike shrugged. “Yeah, but it doesn’t matter. The universe bends over backwards for Twilight anyway. Nopony’s opinion really matters except hers, and she is an enlightened liberal like us.”

I'm laughing so hard. :rainbowlaugh:

As subtle as a jet powered hammer.

7507404 I think blackface would be a better comparison.

This is glorious! :rainbowlaugh:
