Ponies seem to enjoy novelty, and a Minotaur certainly is novel.

Turns out it was only two hours of Sviridov, not three.

And the director has me marked down as a baritone and not a bass. Well, sure. Now I'm going to go for a swim before either returning to writing fanfiction, watching Empire Strikes Back, or making fun of Fallout Equestria. Or I could continue in American Gods or Les Miserables. Or play video games. Or nap.

Because there here just for show. And Iron W Ill know that most of them don't need help.

you're kinda comparing apples to...well, an apple to an entire apple orchard. Furries is a broad as all hell group, ponies are just ponies. There's a huge difference in scale.

at least, imo. I was never really apart of the furry fandom, so i may be wrong.

whoa dude, if we can put up with gingers antics, you know we can put up with anything you can dish out too. You don't need to give us a break from nothing.

edit: uh...sorry if I seems like I'm picking on you a bit, ginger...

Dear Princess Celestia,

Sometimes the overanalysis can get a bit silly. Not all the time though. A lot of the time it's fun. But when it starts to diminish your enjoyment of the show, then it starts to be a problem. Always remember that it's a show whose primary purpose is to entertain.

Your loyal subject,
Apple Spice

I wonder what the hedgemaze centre is usually used for? The way she worded it made the place sound like a leisure centre.

@Bliss HEY!

@Mage Maybe it's something I'll have a greater appreciation for when I actually fall in love with someone (shrug)

Who left the thread for awhile?

@Blissey - I was a furry for quite some time, about 15 years. Back in the beginning the fandom was very small and Yiff was even smaller, but once the Yiff stuff got out, it was Yiff that was drawing people to the fandom and not the general appreciation of anthropomorphism. I dont want to see the same thing happen to pony fandom.

I think the fact that furry denied its existence, it got sensationalized and was all anyone knew about the community.

I've never seen a case where I felt like romance added anything either.

Guess I'm not swimming right now because I see conversation.

I agree with Ginger to an extent. Too often it seems like romance and sex and stuff gets shoehorned into stories whether or not it's actually relevant.

I mean, a while ago I saw the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the sex scene in it was quite frankly a crock of bullshit.

@Story

Your an AI, of course you don't understand love or other human emotions.

I'm actually the opposite. Nothing isn't enhanced by romance so long as it's not stupid.

@ gingerninja 666: I believe you're talking about the Romantic Plot Tumor. RPT is a problem that has ruined a number of promising fictional works...like Star Wars Attack of the Clones. Yeah, Anakin Skywalker tries to charm Padme with lines about how she's more appealing than sand. She should have told him to come back when he thinks up better pickup lines!

At least Lauren Faust is Genre Savvy enough to avoid having RPT appear in MLP: FIM and to keep romance between side characters!

It's all about demographic appeal. There are enough people who enjoy romance to justify its existence, while most people who don't care for it tolerate it enough to not be turned away by it.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying that I don't think ponies will ever grow quite big enough to snowball like that because its a much more narrow subject.

You have no idea how much porn there is in this fandom, do you?

@Pannic Proportionally the same amount as there is in any fandom.

I was never bothered by romace in SW Prequels :D

I even like some bits of it.

The same amount of porn as most other places?

Well thats why theres a rule 34 now isnt there?

Maybe Romance wouldn't bother me if it wasn't EVERYWHERE!!

Same thing with vampires. I am SICK and tired of seeing vampires everywhere I turn.

Now, I'll come out and say that there are good vampire stories and there are probably good romance stories. The problem is that the oversaturation of these two things leads to me becoming tired of the very sight of them.

It'd be like if I ate nothing but dollor store chocolate cake for every meal, then every now and then someone gave me a gourmet chocolate cake made by the greatest chocolatier in Belgium. It may be the greatest chocolate cake ever made, I wouldn't care because it's CHOCOLATE. I eat nothing but chocolate and I'm sick of the sight of it

I know the last furry con I went to, the art auction was about 85% porn, 15% normal stuff. Well uh... as Normal as furry art can be..

I agree about vampires. I'm sick off them. Worst kind of Undead.

But there are still cool vampires like Marceline.

Werewolves are so much cooler than vampires anyway.
