Rainbow Dash is best pony for me because of her tomboyishness and spunk, but she seems a bit too headstrong.

[Frost]

If you found a way to temper her more Leeroy tendencies, she would be pure awesomeness

[Ketchup]

Because that how it always is? When is there ever a time when # of bullies > # of victims?

Err... what? Is that NOT how it is? I know, when I was in elementary through middle school, bullies always traveled in packs and I was never confronted by less than three, often in a drako/crabb/goyle arraingement.
...was that really only at my school? o_O

It seems to happen around here to my knowledge. If at advantage, they do it alone, though.

[Ironmonger]

I was never physically bullied at my school, if anything I was the bully in that respect but that was due to my ritalin causing me to go rage-mode on the drop of a hat. Most that actually happened to me was people saying hurtful things.

[Frost]

That wasn't the case, here, though. There was one of her and three of them. What ensued should have been what's called "Tuesday" in Pony Jersey

Spoiler:

[Stringtheory]

hmm, surprisingly I was never really bullied, despite being a person who is both shy and stutters, guess I was too quiet and off the radar for anyone to notice me

[Moodyman90]

We've all seen Episode 3, right?

There were 3 of the CMC, and one of Babs. Why the fuck were they always running away? She's from Pony Jersey, she's probably used to getting tag-teamed and beaten senseless, so why not make her feel at home?

Because that how it always is? When is there ever a time when # of bullies > # of victims?
Besides, they never tried to fight DT or SS, who bully them all the time and live in the same town. No they don't physically threaten them but what they do still count as bullying.

Also, the one time they did try to fight back, in their own way of course, they found out why she was being a bully and realized they themselves became bullies to get back at her. And in all honesty all literally fighting back would have done would be to make them look even bigger bullies then Babs was being to them.

Yes, because retaliation against someone who is physically abusing you is always wrong, especially if their life hasn't been perfect.

Well in this case it would have been. Also wasn't the moral of the episode more along the lines of "If you're being bullied, go tell an adult" ? What you're saying is that they should have fed the cycle of hatred, which isn't something you're ever going to see in a show like this.

And what I meant by "# of bullies never > # of victims" is that generally , not all the time or everywhere, it's a small number that torments a larger number. Yes, it may be 3 against 1, but it's usually those 3 against everybody else on an individual basis.

But I'm not speaking from personal experience though. Not saying I was never bullied, just that I never showed that I cared. I'll say that again, I never showed that I cared, as in I never fought back but at the same time I never ran away scared.

[Ironmonger]

[Ironmonger]

When life gives you bullies, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[Moodyman90]

Time to crank out some fan fics then.

[Frost]

I couldn't be bullied by being told hurtful things. I would literally laugh in the face of death threats. I was, and still am, pretty oblivious and people make funny faces when they are mad or trying to be clever.
So yeah, armed and with superior numbers was typically my experience.

But yes, it would have been good to see the CMC beat Babs nearly to death on my little pony. It'd be a nice change of pace :P

Same with the Trixie episode. She's walking along, on top of the worlDECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOOON

[Frost]

Hell, they were running and hiding from a, let's face it, black person. Of course the Mane 6's response was "I think she did something! LYNCH MOB" so perhaps the townsfolk's response was bettwr

[Ironmonger]

...So I just came out of game of TF2 on Ponyfortress. Capture the flag. RED:2 BLU:0. BLU WINS!
WHAT.

[Frost]

Which was just plain stupid. Hell, first contact historically is prone to issues such as language barriers, cultural differences and the issue that at least one party is there to kill all the others. Here, Zecora speaks Equestrian and literally just strolled into town to buy some stuff. And they ran and hid.

[Ironmonger]

An exchange between Frost and I:

[Ironmonger]

Don't worry Swicked, you aint alone. Except with me it's my ears and eyes. McDonald's cups say "Get Quenched!", I thought mine said "Get Bent!"

[Frost]

First time I watched Episode 4, when Twilight mentioned "The delegates from Saddle Arabia", I though she said "The Delicates from Saddle Arabia"

That was the highlight of this season. And now I'm sad thinking of that.

[Ironmonger]

SPEAKING OF SADDLE ARABIA. cant say I disagree with her negotiation method:

[Guest]

Fluttershy has issues, but she's a good friend. Not the pony I'd pick to go on an adventure with (though, in fairness, if you don't pick Twilight [out of the mane six] for that you'd be just plain silly), but absolutely one I'd like to sit down and talk about books with. Also, play LoL with - I have a hunch that her scary, screamy side would come out. It does for most people. =P

[Frost]

Twilight is overpowered. Way, way overpowered (she harvested half an orchard instantly.) it's to the point where I can't even sympathize with her when she gets into peril, because between Plot Armor and her being ludicrously powerful, she can just "Magic" up an answer.

Alternatively, pick up the Idiot Ball to preserve drama

[Ironmonger]

Luna is best pony. Especially goth luna.

[222222]

I don't have a problem with any of the mane six really. You can say Twilight is over powered but she still has social problems and probably some sort of OCD type deal. Also, we've seen her magic can't solve every problem just by brute force, see the latest episode and the premiere, two examples where she was outmagicked. I like Fluttershy too, because she may not be brave but she knows her limitations and she is very nice. A lot of people aren't cut out for adventure or high stress situations, it doesn't make them bad people. At least Fluttershy is cognizant of that. The hate on Pinkie Pie I don't get at all, she is one of my favorite ponies. She's always just so happy, how could you be mad at her? Besides, when the one thing that makes you happy more than anything else is making other people happy, you are a good person in my eyes.

[Frost]

Pinkie Pie is a crackhead. There, I said it. "OOOO, you aren't smiling at this very second! Let me shove my stupid, shrill self right in your face until you are happy!"

Fluttershy has gone from worthless, sniveling coward who can put on a suit of Plot Armor when riled to.... A simply worthless, sniveling coward. At least they haven't pursued "The Stare" any further since that terrible episode. "Oh, I'm so nice all the time that MIND RAPE." See, it's a terrible ability to voice anyone, her especially.

[Ironmonger]

The only ones of the Mane Six that I like are Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. Despite RD being my favorite next to Luna, I go from loving her to tolerating her. Too in your face at times.

[222222]

Admittedly Pinkie Pie is enthusiastic, but that doesn't make her a bad person. I know a guy like that in real life, not about making people happy but he's just so excited and ready to go all the time, and sometimes it grates on my nerves, but I still like him, and usually just being around him starts to get me excited too. I feel like being around Pinkie Pie would be like that, occasionally grating if you aren't in the right mood, but generally fun. And it's not like Pinkie Pie is ignoring real life problems or abusing people, she is just excited is all.
The stare is weird, but I think it has to do with being able to communicate with animals, including ponies, on a more primitive instinctual level. Dealing with animals is her special talent after all. As far as cowardly goes, I'd say she is first and foremost non-confrontational, and secondly very poor at dealing with high stress situations. I see her fear coming less from the actual situation and more from the idea of having to confront someone or have people be relying on her, as that creates stress and she has an apparently pathological fear of stressful situations.

[OneMoreDaySK]

@swicked
Eh, especially since her last lessons learned was essentially to quit being such a jerk and letting it get to her head. New lessons please.

[Ironmonger]

WHEN SUDDENLY:

[Frost]

Rarity is superficial. Absolutely obssessed with appearances instead of actually devoting her talents to, Y'know, something practical or useful. Meanwhile, she spends all her time attempting to climb a social ladder instead of, again, contributing anything useful to society.

[Caoimhe]

I'm mad about Twilight this season because I really didn't want her to achieve main character status. The six of them together are the main characters and when an episode is Twilight focused, none of them every doubt her for anything unlike any other character focused ep. A Twlight ep is just a cue to make everyone else two dimensional or non existent while everyone defends her constantly.

Also in villan episodes T-sparx becomes defacto leader despite having no real qualifications to do so other than being Celestia's doer of bitch work. I mean c'mon, Rarity is a unicorn as well and can do some pretty powerful magic for different purposes and she didn't do shit last week.

She's a very successful entrepreneur in a field that requires massive creative and business sense and she fuckin' rocks at capitalism. She's probably rollin in bits and contributes to the overall GDP of Equestria and standard of living in Ponyville.

I'm not denying that she's smart. However, all that means is that instead of devoting that intelligence into some field or industry of actual use to society at large, she's making super pretty dresses! yeah, you can imagine why she's not my favorite.
