Dragon Quest had an anti-racist message?

"Steal black children from their communities while still babies then raise to realize that being part of white society is much better?"

O.o

(The above is a joke)

@L Mage, well when you think about the episode that joke is less of a joke and more of a "uh oh, what have we done. We should've made a better effort to show that there are good dragons."

@ Mousa

When they were calling Spike a pony...I heard British/American.

You were born in insert country here...you are insert said nationality here.

Of course, this is just me. tongue

In all honesty, that's actually kind of how it works; a person's cultural identity is far more determined by the culture they're raised in rather than their genetics. If a person who's ethnically European, but raised their whole life in America, they're far more likely to think and act like an American. Of course, I doubt that's quite what Dragon Quest was going for...

And yeah, they really do need more good dragons if they don't want the species to come across as Always Chaotic Evil.

Wow, I never thought of the connection to voting.

So the moral is, even if everyone else gets to vote lots of times, it's still worth it in case some of the voters are sick and you're the deciding vote?

The way you put it reminds me of Carrot Ironfoundersson, who was born human by was culturally raised as a dwarf. Spike would be specieally (perfectly cromulent word!) a dragon and culturally a pony, only he has no fetlocks to keep shorn, lol.

The idea is that all those Schroedinger's votes can make a king or topple a presidency candidate. If the 33% undecideds and votes of no confidence banded together to choose their leader, they'd steamroll the fragmented "unity" of the bipartisan parties.

Yeah what JT said.

I would have expressed myself more eloquently...but as usual the volume of costumers always picks up when I'm trying to make a point.

Why would the customers get louder? Are they trying to shout over you?

The message came across as every little bit helps. So I guess you could say that it was a message about voting but it takes a bit of association to get that message.

Has it ever been mentioned whether the mayors are elected or not?

I suppose they just choose a pony who seems fit for the job and pile the jobs on them. Twi already has other obligations so unless she intends to really settle down she isn't becoming a mayor anytime soon [lol] although she'd certainly like to offer admin advice and help tidy up town hall paperwork.

Nope they haven't said if she's elected but I think remember her being worried about a scandal because something went wrong.

I'm guessing she was elected. Although I have a feeling it's like the Mayor from the Powerpuff Girls- you're not sure how they got elected in the first place

For some reason, I kind of want the fandom to go nuts with the background building of these two. I want to see what the fans can come up with for them. Already they seem to be considered twins.

I imagine there'll be some awkward or saucy art of the too limber gag scene soon.

I mean they already made a yoga joke about it [lol]

I'm waiting for someone to turn that scene into "Rainbow Dash scoping out her next lays."

I have to admit that I don't think I would have made the connection to voting unless it was pointed out; it seemed to me to be a pretty straight "Just because you can't contribute as much as others doesn't make your contributions worthless". I think the voting analogy doesn't work that well because in a vote, everybody's votes are equal; the episode was more about still being able to help even though you aren't especially skilled at something.
