Letter 96
Dear Princess High Beams,
Today I learned that “treating everyone equally” does not mean giving a blind kid a picture book for his birthday, even if that’s what you give everyone else his age.
Your insensitive ignoramus,
Whylight

Dear god, thats kinda dark.
i dont know why but this made me think of
Well, that actually falls under “treating everyone equally” category allright. It's just her assumption that if you're “treating everyone equally” then you automatically aren't being a dick is wrong.
I mean I can kinda relate.. Sometimes you just kinda skip out on thinking.
Social auto-pilot is dangerous. Don’t do it.

I guess that is technically accurate if you look at it from a very specific perspective.
To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,
While I am glad you strive to treat everypony equally, it has to be said that the position of some ponies are different from others, and thus, require a different approach. One eventually must realize taking someone's circumstances into perspective is necessary. Should you give somepony a cupcake, and you see a diabetic pony left out you shouldn't give them a cupcake merely because it was exactly what you gave the former. Try and find an appropriate way to work with what you have.
In the case of the blind birthday pony, perhaps you could read the story to him for his birthday. I do hope you learn from this, and please apologize to the kid and his parents.
Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia
P.s. Anon, While I realize stopping Twilight is difficult once she's made up her mind, please remember that you are legally allowed to "physically encourage" her to do the right thing as long as it does not go too far. Of course, all medical expenses will be taken care of.
Twilight is becoming this weird counterpart to Trollestia. Where Trollestia plans her jokes & pranks, Twilight just kind of stumbles into these situations to the point that people are going to start thinking she's planning them.

ERROR ERROR SOCIAL AUTO_PILOT MALFUNCTION

Cute. The question is, are they TWILIGHT'S medical expenses (from being physically encouraged) or ANON'S (from making the attempt)?
9946529
Yes.
9946529
Yes
*Reads letter again*
On the bright side, this Twilight will have a lot of rhetorical ammunition when she encounters Starlight.
Oh god dammit, Twiggly. Out of all possible things, why did it have to be this?
Reminds me of this:
...dude
reminds me of the 'Friendship Report' done by the Red Sniper.

There's also the fact that *redacted society-changing law* being discussed was the real driving force behind people wanting to shuck of the yoke of the Empire. After all, can't have change and progression in the land we fled to in an attempt to escape all that leftish twaddle, ammirite?
9946999
Not quite sure I get what you mean.
9946999
You’re coming off as a pretentious twat, so why don’t you step down from that high horse and use your big boy words? I’m sure it would be easier to just say what you’re referring to instead of pretending everyone else can read your mind.
9946999
If that overwanking foppery you're referring to is about the British abolition of slavery in the colonies, imagine the sheer ignorance of history it must require to think that the revolution was by something didn't even actualize until 60 years after the revolution had started - a revolution which was spearheaded by the mercantilist, pseudo-abolitionist North, and was only supported by the South after Britain's horribly cruel occupation policy - because you want to morally grandstand about a country that did a crime against humanity on every continent
Don't go knocking people's national holidays, unless you want to start talking about the British holiday of putting the strawman of a religious minority in a bonfire
Given one of the major themes of these letters, I feel I am obligated to let people know that this is a place that exists.

I assume the author is mentioning July the 4, your Independance Day celebrations.
It's would be a joke in poor taste to not celebrate Veterans Day, or any equivalent here in the West.

I know what real high functioning is and I appoligize if I offended you...
I only added that to empathize my opinion of cannon Twiggles.
I also have a sibling with Asphergers Syndrome. First things you learn is to develop a sense of humor and not treat them like their diagnosis defines them.
9949554
You do know that it's a spectrum and no two cases or diagnoses are exactly the same, right?
Reminds me of that french comedian who acted as santa and gave disabled kid running shoes etc
Give Twilight some credit, she had all the words translated to brail first.
Could have gotten the little one a book in brail instead.
9953881
K thanks.
9946634
That's actually very impressive.
Now this on the other hand...

I'll buy it for Dash, AJ, and Fluttershy, but Toilet Spackle started the series as a hikki, Party of One showed that Pinkie is depressedly nuts in a non-wacky way, and Rarity is Rarity.
Well, seeing that Twilight gave Spike a book every year for his birthday, I can legitimately see her doing this.

I feel that you have to either laugh at horror and tragedy, succumb to it, or grow indifferent to it. Since the second leaves you effectively nonfunctional (or worse), and the third doesn't make for a person worth knowing, it really only leaves the first option.
well, you do if you're Anon. Or me.
9954695
Oh I am a bad person.
