Unpopular opinion time

@Itsthinking  
But they seem to be allowed to have pushing, shoving, and “covered” violence.

@SeraphimDawn
 
Honestly, it’s kind of amazing what they can actually get away with

Considering some of the violent shit that Gilda’s gotten away with…
 
_{And no, I’m not implying that Gilda’s a fan of the Violent Shit movies, though it would make sense if she was.}

@Littlecabbit  
Compared to previous generations? Definitely. Compared to its current, immediate competition? Eh….

@Littlecabbit  
Id say at most, they are allowed PPG level of violence into the show. Like the Changeling fight in season 2.

@Itsthinking  
I don’t think that they can show immitatable violence on TV-Y stuff  
Avatar:TLA was TV Y. JLU was TV Y-7. Violence can happen.

…I’m tired and busy– TL;DR: there’s a lot of violence in this show and a lot of screencaps of it.

I never was really a fan of the molestia blog

@ice1517  
I wasn’t either, but I still don’t think people should have freaked out about it the way they did.

@ice1517
 
@Kirb
 
Basically, yeah.

@ice1517  
Never known anything about that shit, and never given any shit regarding to what happened. Though it being one of the first big times we fought against SJWs is actually good.

Speaking of Twilight not exactly being a moral paragon, remember the Pinkie Clone incident?
 
Twilight looked a bit too happy blasting them to oblivion.

@soundtea  
Maybe it’s because I still expect this to be a nicer show, but I would’ve expected at least one ‘sorry’ in there.
 
And not come away from the episode wondering if she’s always wanted an opportunity to shoot Pinkie.

@soundtea  
Twilight did take unusual joy in torturing to death over a dozen people who were literally born more recently than yesterday, yes.

@Trickquestion
 
This again?
 
I’ll admit, the way it was presented was poorly done, but I always got the impression that the clones were non-sentient magical constructs, and despite the oodles of “bad end” art, if she HAD accidentally shot the real Pinkie Pie, it… probably wouldn’t have done anything to her. The mirror pool can probably recognize whether something being sent back to it actually originated from it or not.

@Jarkes  
Then what was the danger of sending her back expressed in the episode?
 
And why did they need a test if that was the case?

@Jarkes  
Then why have the test in the first place?
 
That episode along with her eagerness to use a “reform spell” in KCAFC didn’t exactly give her friendship points.

@PonyPon
 
I don’t know, maybe the book they found was missing a few pages and didn’t actually SAY anything about whether or not anything would happen to the original.

@Jarkes  
That’s really stretching for an excuse.
 
Twilight outright said if they hit the real one, she’d get sent back with the others.

@PonyPon
 
Look, I fully admit that I’m grasping at straws here, okay? It usually doesn’t take much for me to come up with an explanation for apparent plot holes or odd character bits in the show in order for them to make sense even when the way they’re presented makes it initially seem like they don’t make sense. With that particular episode I have to do a whole lot more of that, and it really aggravates me.

@Jarkes
 
@PonyPon
 
@soundtea
 
That episode was just stupid, not just because of the clone test, but how difficult the other Mane 5 made it to find the real Pinkie.
 
Did none of them notice that one of the Pinkies was not grinning and hopping about like a maniac, and was instead sitting very quietly by herself, looking very depressed?
 
Did that strike anypony as a little odd?

@YetAnotherBrony  
I guess they just thought ‘defective ripple Pinkie’.

@YetAnotherBrony  
Honestly, by the end of Season 2 until Season 4, the Mane Six started treating Pinkie like fucking shit. It’s not odd at all because they became horrible friends to her.

@PonyPon  
If they were half the friends they thought themselves as they’d realize that maybe the one displaying any amount of depth whatsoever might be the real Pinkie.
 
I mean, they saw her get sad and upset before, it’s fucking stupid of them to just suddenly pretend that Pinkie never gets down ever.

@441TheSecond
 
Then again, last time she got super depressed, her mane deflated (which is a recurring thing with her), and it DIDN’T happen that time. Then again, if that DID happen, the “which one’s the real Pinkie?” question would’ve been solved instantly.
 
Still, it could’ve been worse. They could’ve suggested holding a race to determine which one was the real one.
