I don't see why all the nerd rage over DisQord anyway. Lauren made him in Q's image, John voiced him as only he would, the animators and sound editors adjusted the effects around him to be Q-like. The fans took him to be his own character, but with the possibility of being more then just the avatar of pony chaos. Is someone says they are the same, there are enough parallels to draw on. If someone says they are different, they are. Just enough with the hostilities. Pointless rage is reserved for the trolls and petty bickering is the prevue of the pony companies.

Hey. Just wanna let you know that trolling/flaming the pony thread is a possibly bannable offense, as per forum rules. So if you don't like pony, avoid this thread and you'll be fine.

We require additional ponies!

It's also guaranteed to shut down on the first alpha strike. With a whiny foul mouthed ******* spouting jibberish like "Lol, you just ROFL Stomped ******" and asking questions like "How do I teabag this guy's corpse?" . It will only have enough heatsinks to not explode on the alpha (some variants may not..). Also said ******* pilot will complain and call you a Haxxor when you either line up a head shot or rear armor kill while he is shut down.

As many people might now know, there's going to be an MLP comic.

I figured I'd preview some of the cover art for you.

BUT had you done your homework, you would have found the interview of him done by 2 of the MLP internet radio stations. And in those interviews he states....VERY CLEARLY...."He did not base Discord off Q". He used the same attitude, but that's it. The 2 characters are not alike as you make them out to be.


There are some misunderstandings.
At the time Mr. DeLancie voiced Discord he wasn't even sure what he made. Don't mix voice actors with producers.
However, the staff of MLP just wanted a char like Q, so they wanted Mr. DeLancie at best and they got him.

I'm gone for two days and that's what this topic turns into...
I want to note that I'm completely innocent! ;)

I could say something about it, but since the drama has just stopped, I'm not going to reignite that debate...
Anyway, it is unfortunate, but both units seem to be american... *checks location* *sigh*
Seems like I'll have to make do without a pony-unit, but even if you had european-regiments within your units, I'm not going to pick sides before I've met people from both parties in a match and fought with/against them...
Before I join any unit, I wanna know the people I'm going to be fighting with, I need to have an idea of how you guys fight before I'll decide if I want to wage war with/against you.

That said, maybe I should organize the Haters and form a pony-crusher-unit just so you guys have something else than each other to focus your anger on and we can finally rid this topic of the repeating hostilities between the ELP and EQRG...
... and no I don't care who started it, which most of the last few pages seem to be about... -.-



Oh please don't, we'll have enough Haters to deal with as it is, we don't need to invent more.

Back in my days, MLP wasn't like that. I really don't get the "cult" in the first place. I'm not expressing hatred or anything, I'm just not understanding how grown men can band together and express their liking to a cartoon aimed for little girls. That is all.


The key to understanding it is abandoning the assumption that just because it's about girls it is only for girls.

My Little Pony is about a group of strong, independent girls with well written character flaws. It shows us that even true friends have personality clashes, there are some people in this world you are just not going to click with no matter how hard you try, and you can be afraid of lightning and still be tough. It is good old fashioned fable based storytelling with a well built excuse for expressing the moral of the story which by the way is some of the best storytelling I've seen in any series and I've seen a lot of them. Most of the stories involve accepting the flaws in other and trying to overcome your own, or recognizing the people who will not put in the effort to help themselves.

I'm going to stop now to keep from just ranting for an entire page.

Back in your day, MLP WAS aimed for little girls, but we're not talking about the older show, and the fandom definitely doesn't revolve around it.

Perhaps try this on for size:

- New MLP is actually a good show catered to the entire family vs a singular demographic.
- Adults with an open mind and an appreciation for classic cartoons, gives the new show a chance.
- Adults end up liking the show. They share with friends.
- Close-minded, egotistical adults don't watch the show for fears of their own perception.
- Close-minded, egotistical adults see fans of the show as an easy target to assert their dominance.
- Adults that like the show band together to overwhelm the negative comments from the dominance driven haters.
- The bond is strengthened by sharing art, music, and creative content with eachother.
.
.
Thus:
- Bronies happened.

If people wouldn't attack people based off stereotypes, there wouldn't be an issue.

If any other cartoon nowadays had the same dedication as the team behind FiM, nobody would bat an eye.

If Lauren Faust did an amazing relaunch of Courage the Cowardly Dog, nobody would judge someone for liking the show.

But noooooooo. Just because the title is, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," all merits of its quality go right out the window, and people just default to, "You watch what show? What are you a pedophile or something?"
