A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

The bullies will get what's coming to them. Let's focus on helping the kid, please.
Can anyone make a donation?
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I'd like to donate myself, but I'm flat broke. Here's the link to the post, though.
I wish I could find an alternate news source for this though, just to confirm that it's legit.
A kid was bullied for being a brony to the point that he tried to commit suicide. He survived, but ended up with severe brain damage.

@Wryte: some monsters bullied a fellow brony into near-suicide. donations have been started for him.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Yeah, I agree as much as anybody that these bullies are terrible people but can we please not degenerate into revenge fantasies? As much as I hope they get what's coming to them, I think we should focus on helping out the guy who needs it rather than trying to imagine ways to torture people, no matter how horrible they are. If anything we should hope that this causes them to realize just how much damage they've caused and try to make amends themselves.
Ranting about how the bullies should be beaten to death or raped or whatever just makes us look petty and vindictive. They need to be punished, certainly, but let's not become what we hate, okay?

Reaction Image RepositoryOh good. Some people in the comments on the original post did some digging to make sure it's legit, and everything seems to check out at the moment. The person who posted it said the e-mail came from a trusted source, too.
Edit: The digging was of the "check to see if this person and his parents are real people and have ever expressed an interest in pony" sort.

Yeah, I can definitely understand how this might hit close to home for a lot of people, but I'd much rather not let the whole thing snowball into angry ranting when we could be doing something that's actually useful.
Coincidently, I was planning to watch A Christmas Story tonight. I figured I might as well watch it eventually since it's supposedly a classic.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Luminosity: ... you're right. my apologies... senseless bullying is something i don't take lightly.

And now for something less depressing.
Fluttershy would get with some huge buff guy.

prison's almost too good for them.
