Besides, the Mare-Do-Well episode had no small amount of base pandering, and I love that episode.

Me too. This episode is far from being my least favorite of season.

I'm curious about what people who saw edited Derpy first and didn't find out about the old version until later think of the whole thing.

On an unrelated note, guess who's apparently part of an upcoming Miniature Collection set?

@con Wait, when has this show ever been pandering?

That's some high quality stuff! It'll probably come in a set with Rarity.

Mare-do-well invoked Cyber Six, Batman, and Darkwing Duck, of course she was awesome :V

Inking tutorial :D Also saving this. I have my own addition to this strategy, and that is to use the pen tool to create the needed curve guides if you're having trouble with that.

@What: That looks fantastic! DO WANT.

BRB camping TRU for the Spa Ponies threepack. I expect them to come with Rarity :D

@lurker: It's an expression. Plus, Tropes Are Not Bad. They know we love the show and they want to please us, but not at the cost of the show's quality. I think we've got a good thing going here, and we shouldn't screw it up.

@condottiera, I've had people say that after ponyville confidential they hated her more, that episode just made me like her more.

@Bad Wolfwho, Trixie, she is my second favorite.

Okay part 3. I don't think that documentary will do anything at all to help the fandom or the way people view the fandom. To me it seems like just a way to justify there is some good in the brony community. Will Fox news watch and just stop making fun on bronies, no. Will the haters see it and stop their hating, I highly doubt it. To me this is a waste of time and possibly could have the opposite effect. I really doubt they will cover rabid bronies in this. I really wish they would.

Urg. I have to say that I don't think Trixie looks good in leather pants. I do not like her, but I understand why some people do.

I do like Discord, but at least I know he's an asshole.

I still want to see the documentary. Screw the haters, let them think what they want. We got each other, and that's a lot, this much I know. We'll give it a shot!

Well, I repeat once more, buy the merch, vote for and fund Season 4 with our wallets!

Foreveeeeeerrrrr

@Echo By "rabid bronies" do you mean the seedier side of the fandom (r34, etc)? Because they've talked about why they aren't covering those people. There are just as many of those types in any fandom, and talking about them as a significant subgroup when they really represent such a hugely minor portion of the fandom gives them far too much credit.

Not to mention that the documentary is about what goes on at Bronycon itself, which doesn't involve those types of people at all.

Of course, I don't exactly see the documentary as necessary myself, but it's certainly not harmful in any way.

OOOHHHHHHHHHHHH WE'RE HALF WAY THERE

AHHHH, AHHHH! LIVIN' ON A PRAYER!

@Echoax: I don't think the documentary was made for the haters. It was made for bronies and people who are just curious as to who they are and why the show is so popular.

Open minds and open hearts!

@con Trixie actually doesn't get the leather pants treatment as much as you'd think. Most of the fan work of her has her being, well, Trixie. They love that part of her, rather than some fake "oh wait, she's actually good" character.

The documentary probably won't help with the anti-brony haters, but I do think there are probably people who are either on the fence or just not aware of what's going on in the fandom. It's probably not going to bring in huge numbers of fans, but I think it'll give a better look at the fandom to those who don't really know about it. It certainly won't make things worse.

Agreed on this

@ Echo: Trixie is an excellent choice as well. I'd disagree on the placement of Rarity but I do dislike her. What do you think about Rainbow Dash?

But I hate smug snakes. I like magnificent bastards!

Yeah, the documetary isn't going to stop haters. It's just to promote understanding. Maybe people will show it to their families for example. I certainly want to see it.

EDIT: My Favurite ponies go Twilght, then Fluttershy, then Photo Finish, then Luna, then Lyra, then Golden Harvest.

@con And that's fine. I'm just saying that the majority of Trixie's popularity isn't from people who put her on some sort of crazy pedestal.

We don't. Or at least I don't.

edited 27th Jul '12 10:52:57 AM by PerpetualLurker

Why should we even have to care about stopping the haters, anyways? Some people are always gonna suck, and they shouldn't stop us from having fun.

But, like, everywhere you turn, somebody's trying to ship her with Twilight or they think that she's awesome even though all she ever did was act like a jerk and lie right before not doing anything.
