I hate Japan, period!

The thing about wingboners, though, is that they are a completely involuntary reaction to sexual stimuli! Can you imagine what sort of social ramifications that would have to a pony in heat?

Can you still fly while you have a wingboner?

Or maybe you can't fly unless you have a wingboner.

Hm...

I think the trope for this is Something Else Also Rises.

And nice catch. I didn't notice the wing boner in that until you pointed it out.

And and... the shit English in these comics JBM.

Why does everyone think Rainbow Dash is a lesbian again?

Shitglish on the ponibooru is already regular you're know.

^^ Because everyone is wearing their IKnowWeCantPotholeHere yuri goggles.

Exhibit A: Rainbow Dash's rainbow mane and theme:

Rainbows have become a symbol for the LGBT community.

Exhibit B: Rainbow Dash's tomboy personality:

Eeyup. Not conclusive, but it fits stereotypes.

Exhibit C: Her gym teacher get-up in "Call of the Cutie":

Gym teacher screams lesbian rather loudly to some.

Exhibit

Her friendships:

She appears to have been close to Gilda (who was suspiciously jealous and even more tomboyish).

Exhibit E: Word of god (or rather, a notable lack thereof):

Faust has not confirmed any of the ponies' sexualities. This could be seen as suspect considering she went so far as to confirm that the ponies use standard mammalian reproduction. She has also pointed out herself that the ponies' sexualities have not been confirmed. This seems to be something she's leaving up to the fans to interpret. (Note that [IIRC] she does object to the notion that having rainbow colors and a tomboy personality automatically makes a character a lesbian.)

But if you ask me, you can just label it as "ambiguous" and move on. It's most likely not going to be something that gets addressed in the show, and even if she does show attraction to a male, that doesn't rule out bisexuality.

I am sick of people tripping over Pony sexuality and reproductive abilities. It's such a stupid fucking concept. It was like how people were going on about how the Powerpuff Girls would sexually reproduce, or how XJ-9 would reproduce, and other things people seriously need to quit fixating on.

The people who are badgering Faust about shipping and sexuality should kind of, just fuck off. Whether or not Rainbow Dash and Dr. Whooves get together and have little ponies, or how Brony penises look is not important to the show.

I thought you didn't watch the show.

Anyway, WMG is part of the fun in a lot of works of fiction. I don't see what's wrong with it, though it does get silly when people grasp at straws trying to find evidence for a desired outcome.

Vorpy · 2011-03-22 02:36:17

Link for relevance. Sent you a PM.

I am not affiliated with the fandom at all (or Ponies/Bronies as you call yourselves) because suddenly the bandwagon is too full and I had to hop off and watch it for myself.

And it's developed a fan dumb that annoys me in the same ways as the Pokemon fan dumb, because the older audience are looking too deeply into the show. Not sure if I am a fan hater or a Fan Dumb Hater.

^ ASH IS CLEARLY A BRAIN DAMAGED KID LAYING IN HOSPITAL BECAUSE HIS PIKACHU ZAPPED HIM AND HE HAS LATENT HOMOSEXUAL URGES!

TVT WMG in a nutshell

* All a Dream/Already Dead
* Deathbed Dream
* Timelord Tardis
* Death Note
* Is actually Haruhi Suzumiya
* Something stupid

Other places are far more creative and less brain damaged. I wonder why nobody has made a TRS thread about killing "that extra page that gets Dr. Who, Death Note and Haruhi suzumiya more ticks on the wiki".
