“If anything, the episode could be an allegory for how judging someone based on stereotypes is wrong… Dash isn’t a love interest being won over here; she’s an employer. She wants the best pet to prove themselves before taking the job. Tank is from a species that has a reputation for slowness, and due to predisposed notions of what tortoises are like, she writes him off, but allows him to participate anyway. He ends up winning because he goes above and beyond the others. In real worldy terms, he wanted to work at Dash Co., while the rest just wanted any ol’ job so they didn’t go the distance to impress HR. Dash learned that not all X are Y, and Tank got the job.” -That same friend.

I think Tank’s repeat performance deserved the honor. And hey, this time it’s Rainbow Dash turn to be the one not to take no for an answer (but it’s OK when she does it, shitlord. /s)

It’s all over except for the salt water, so don’t fret.
Is this just fantasy.
If revenge is a dish best served cold, resurrected best-forgotten threads are best served…I forget where I was going with this.
And if I point out that the last time I mentioned this to my wife her response was “Why do you bother talking to ignorant jackasses on the internet?”, I just wonder which of us a mod is inevitably going to bitch at about Rule #0.
Their response: “This person has to be retarded.”
It was a good laugh.
I was wondering when it was gonna get necro’d by some anonymous johnny-come-lately scrub; surprised it took this long. Seriously, the quality of the dank n00bs around here has really gone down over the last couple of seasons.
Stop promoting rape culture, cis-scum.
It takes a special kind of delusion to conclude that the world is conspiring against you and not that you’re just a nutjob.
Bang two rocks together long enough and you’ll manage.
What we’ve got here is a hyphen-inducing race-to-the-bottom circle-jerk of try-harding, and I’m sorry to say I threw my two cents in as well. Tex gets bonus points for bringing us all here but the points don’t matter, no the points don’t matter just like a serious discussion on the internet, now I’m going to draw scenes from a hat Colin and Wayne your up first, first to unsub the image wins.
How much mental gymnastics did you have to do to try and understand TUA’s point? I read the OP several times and all I can conclude is that TUA either didn’t watch this episode or that he’s actually a dedicated parody of SJWs that stays in-character no matter what.
If he’s serious, I have to wonder what self-identified feminist Faust would say about this, considering she was still working on the show when this episode was produced as a creative consultant.
Thing is, I can understand HOW TUA reached the conclusion he did. I don’t agree with him in the slightest (mainly because any of the implications of which he speaks of in this case would be entirely accidental on the writer’s part), but I can understand why the unintentional implications bother him. Still doesn’t give him the right to be a jerk about it, though.
you know that person that posted that is right. Both sides seem to be perpetuating the constant hateful propaganda made to incite anger in the other side without ever trying to understand where they are coming from or even trying to give them their fare shake. Though I don’t think this will never stop but I’m glad there are people out there willing to try and bridge the gap.
If you don’t agree that Tank raped Rainbow Dash, you’re wrong. Stop raping women.
