So people with psychological issues should be shunned?

I'm sure you can't be saying that.

It's paper. It's already easy to tear as is (especially with Gummy's grip), but then you add saliva to it...

But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess...

Really? You thought the main cast was being villainized? Yeah, I was sympathetic towards Pinkie, but I knew throughout that she was overreacting and that the problem was her fault.

No, I'm saying that Pinkie was firmly in the wrong this time but the episode didn't treat it that way. It villainized the mane cast and made it look like they were being unreasonable.

I repeat, I LIKED the episode, but I think it failed in the area that Lesson Zero succeeded, by making it clear as day that the character in question was 100% in the wrong

At least we're supposed to think that Twilight messed up BAD in Lesson Zero (which is a similar occurancce)

You gotta admit, though, that Twilight messed up much worse than Pinkie did.

Shrug of God. You can't say now that canon suport any teory about Luna corruption and transformation into NMM.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

#41057 Crowfall Thu, 17th Nov '11 5:14:04 PM

I thought it was pretty clear that Pinkie was wrong for the whole episode. Like Sydxelia said, Twilight messed up way worse and she didn't have any major comeuppance. They're friends, of course they'll forgive Pinkie for sulking a little and get on with the party. She doesn't need any more crap dumped as punishment or whatever.

I honestly never saw that at all (maybe it's all those youtube comments going on about how they feel sorry for Pinkie)

It's more how it relates to the rest of her character in general. It just feels like she hasn't been wrong in a way that's detrimental to anyone else (or rather, detrimental then suffering comeuppance for it), wheras everypony else has. Party of One was very internalized. Pinkie didn't lash out at anyone

@Ginger: Your exact words were

She's co-dependent, psychotic, yet our sympathy is supposed to remain perfectly planted with her

...how was I supposed to take that?

Also, Twilight's the sane one. As a result, higher standards are applied; it's assumed she should know better than to, e.g., throw a town into chaos.

Oh, the sound of her suffering. What joy it brings me

Ginger, there's a fine line between not liking a character and hating them to the point of "Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

I couldn't give less of a shit if you don't like pinkie, but the way you constantly RAEG over her is veering you more into the latter territory, which if you couldn't guess by my choice Potholing, I find rather obnoxious.

There's a tumblr in which Gummy is a secret agent, which would explain that. He's just working to make sure the plot goes the right way.

"Morning agent A. Doctor Derpenschmirtz has just stolen Equestia's entire supply of vinegar and baking soda, and is on her way to dumping it all into Mt. Vehoovius. Get out there and put a stop to it!"

Shrug of God. You can't say now that canon suport any teory about Luna corruption and transformation into NMM.

Oh joy. More excuses for the brony community to tear itself apart.

@Mio Discorded Pinkie. I use Flutterwry, Greedity, Liarjack, Meanie Pie, and Solo Dash for Discorded names, but there's more popular ones out there.

The joke is that Gummy is an agent not because he's good, but because Trollestia did it for the lulz.

@Ginger: It's fine if you don't like Pinkie, and I totally understand the reasoning behind it, but it gets a little tiring to go through this every time the character shows up. Pretty much everyone is well aware of how you feel about her, so you don't need to keep explaining why you dislike her. It almost makes me reluctant to discuss the character sometimes because I want to discuss some other aspect of Pinkie's characterization other than attacking or defending her.

I was joking.

... I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry that I hate Pinkie. I'm sorry that I constantly go on about her. I'm sorry that I latch onto any oppurtunity I can find to decry her. I'm truly sorry if I've made any of you hate me because of it.

You just don't understand what it's like to dislike a character who's this widely utilized and important to the show. I CAN'T ignore her. If I disliked Big Mac, I could ignore his few scenes. If I didn't like Gilda, I could skip Griffon The Brush Off. I can't skip Pinkie. It's especially infuriating because I love EVERYTHING else about this show. So what am I supposed to do?

Watch the show with Jack Daniels and Bud Weiser. Maybe they can bring their galpal, Val Ium.

#41067 Crowfall Thu, 17th Nov '11 5:37:18 PM

I guess the best thing to do is just drop it like I probably should have done a page ago.

So! Rainbow Dash. She's pretty cool right? No big disagreements there?

Another excellent idea. Take a shot every time Pinkie does something. Suddenly you'll welcome her presence! Or pass out. Either way.

@Syd I just use Flutterwry because it has a nicer ring to it. The only one I've heard for RD is Traitor Dash, so I guess I could use that.

You hate Rarity too, don't you? I can agree with you on Rainbow Dash though.

The story then opens on a bright sunny morn,
In Canterlot city; home of a young unicorn
Twilight Sparkle her name, Celestia’s prize student,
The top of her class; in her studies prudent
Lying on a field, reading a book by a tree
She learned of six crystals: the “Elements of Harmony”
Her curiosity piqued, she rushed back to her home,
In the hopes of learning more from a scroll or a tome.
Two fellow students stopped her, invited her to have fun,
But Twilight Sparkle refused; there was work to be done.
She had no real friends, though the others were willing
She felt time be used for learning, not wasting nor killing
She headed off to her home, the two watched with a sigh
That filly never had fun, it’s like she wouldn’t try.
Upon her return, she searched through every book,
Her baby dragon friend Spike helping her look.
"Predictions and Prophecies" was the book that she’d need,
She found it at last and she started to read.
She learned of Nightmare Moon, that terrible creature
And of her defeat by Celestia, Twilight’s own teacher
She was fated to return the thousandth Summer Sun day,
And the time of her return was but two days away...
