• Forshadowing Take Two!

    by

    Cereal isn't a bad dragon, he just made a bad decision.

    So I'm re-posting it. 

    I don't think ANY cartoon has ever had such an awesome cast of characters.  Hats off to the creators.

    Now onward to season 2!

      OP was the same image, with text along the lines of "Really, who thinks it's still a girls' show?".

      Got a few responses along the lines of "It's an awesome girls' show, what's wrong with that?".

      Yes, this is exactly the kind of inherent sexism that is plaguing the fandom. OF COURSE *YOU* don't see a problem, you ARE the problem.


      Cereal, no one thinks you're a bad dragon. That wasn't at *all* what was being criticized, and by deflecting you're making a very real issue into a personal attack, which it isn't.

      Just please be aware, EVERYone be aware, of how you are being casually sexist without even realizing it. And that it is hurtful and just plain RUDE, not only to the female fans but to all fans of the show.

      Just think before you write - would you say these things to Lauren? No. No you would not.

      *laughs* That is a pathetic derailment, and proves my point beautifully. :)

      You can be a fan and still be sexist. As is proven daily by hundreds of comments on this very website. You probably don't realize it because it's not a problem for *you*, it's not something YOU have to deal with and recognize.

      And yes, I totally agree with the other Anon, it was cowardly to delete, and we really should be above this 4chan style nonsense.

      This fandom can be so incredible, the art and music and joy in the show is fantastic and brilliant, but the attitudes by some of the fans are just terrible. That's not the way it should be! I shouldn't have to feel afraid of sharing my thoughts or even just reveal that I'm a woman, because of the dismissive and condescending behaviour of my fellow Bronies. That's just not right. And you should feel that way too. :(

      It's okay to be conscientious about people sending out a bad message, but we shouldn't be perpetuating a cycle of fear wherein people are afraid to say stuff because it could offend someone's sensibilities.

      I happen to believe we're all (or at least mostly all) reasonable individuals who don't buy into the notion of misogyny. People say stuff with unintentional interpretations all the time, especially on the internet. To constantly rebuke someone as if it's the end of the world is a bit harsh. So long as the intent was not malicious, can we not forgive and forget?

      Also Fluttershy screamed in "green isn't your color", but the best night ever is actually just pure crazy from her where she loses all shyness and goes totally nuts, she even had a live squirrel in her mouth!

      I think the misunderstanding then is the way people reacted to what was being said. I know a lot of people, especially those who are passionate about social issues, subscribe these days to this mentality that all forms of "discrimination" must be dealt with an equal amount of force and vitriol. The problem with this is that the appearance of what constitutes as "discrimination" is different for everyone and a lot of people who simply don't know any better get caught in the crossfire. In a few cases the person who spoke out if ignorance is actually spurred to real bigotry because of their experience, and in almost all cases it makes the person attacking them look absolutely crazy to anyone who isn't already on their side of the fence, to the same degree.

      I can understand the need to encourage people to reflect on their own character and subconscious biases, and to think before they speak. But I think it's fair to say that goes both ways- even more so if you're taking the moral high ground. You catch more flies with honey than passionate rhetoric, after all. Or something.

      But then, I didn't actually see any of this happen myself and I'm just hearing secondhand accounts. I think it's safe to say lesson's have been learned by all. Who's going to write the letter to Celestia?

      Weather or not it is a big deal or silly hate is a matter of opinion.

      There is nothing sexist about calling it a girls show/not a girls show because that is merely an opinion about the show being good despite the fact that most cartoons made specifically for girls are bad.

      Also this is kinda irrelevant and I know it wasn't your intention and your trying to prove a point about thinking before you speak but DO NOT assume what I would or would not say to someone.
      you dont know me
      you dont know what I would or would not say to Faust or anyone for that matter. Because I mite have a different opinion than you regarding what is an isn't sexist and if I dont feel it is sexist I mite just say it.
      Weather I feel it is or isn't sexist makes it sexist or not is a matter of your opinion based on weather or not you agree with my opinion.

      Q: How many politically correct people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

      A: THAT'S NOT FUNNY!

      Not to say that being sexist isn't bad, but roughly 85% of the online MLP fanbase is male. While it may still be, at heart, a "girl's" show, obviously it cannot be simply defined as such based on those demographics. Cereal pointed that out in a funny way, and everybody flipped a shit at him for being insensitive.

      Forgive me for perhaps being too blunt, but...stop making such a big deal over this. It's one comment that was meant to be a joke.

      More like a bunch of silly bronies who are too sensitive to take simple, polite "hey, that's kinda offensive, why don't you think about that for a second" criticisms. It's not like anyone called anyone names or cursed them out. It was just pointed out that implying a show that has fun/wacky/crazy/cool characters couldn't possibly be just a girls' show is a sucky thing to do.

      Saying something is sexist doesn't equal saying someone is a horrible, awful waste of a human being. Living in a sexist society often results in people being subtly sexist without realizing, and it's sad that having this pointed out to a pony immediately causes these defensive reactions rather than some actual thought about why female fans might react negatively. Friendship might be magic, but intent isn't.
