Go To

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.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

The bullies will get what's coming to them. Let's focus on helping the kid, please.

Can anyone make a donation?

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.

[up] 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.

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?

Oh 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.

Revenge fantasies are natural especially for those of us who experienced bullying firsthand. But keeping those to ourselves and focusing on help is better.

[up]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.

It could be worse. It could have been a double-dog-dare. Or a "triple dare you". Or the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.

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.

@Star: Because people can choose how they want to live, and some people make stupid, selfish, short-sighted choices.

And now for something less depressing.

@Starscream: Well if you want to be really cynical, it's a natural (if extreme) expression of humanities tendency towards social stratification, a way to remind people low on the social ladder why they are there and why they will stay there by people in the upper levels of the social ladder.

Shyceps or Flutterbulk are actually quite good ship names.

Oh, and by the way, hasbro.com has been hacked and might redirect you to a malware site without you ever knowing. The malware is new enough to not register on most antivirus programs too.

But Flutterceps is so much better!
