Well if something is nonexistent the lack of evidence that it does in and of itself is the “proof” that it doesn’t exist. There is no definitive proof that He doesn’t exist only a lack of evidence that he does, that and misinformation by superstitious ancient Hebrews.
@ZeroSpawn47
In light of that, it’s maybe a little ironic that he was too busy being jealous and possessive to notice that Tree Hugger was actually trying to be friendly towards him.
@SpacePaladin
Discord’s still bad, but he’s generally more a nuisance than a menace, and some of your points aren’t entirely correct.
>Was actively causing the disaster in the first place.
>Admits the whole thing was a plot to eliminate the Elements of Harmony so he could take over the country.
He didn’t do anything at that point to encourage the growth of the vines, and the seeds were there sine his first defeat a millennium ago. Passively causing it? Fine. But he didn’t actively do anything. He was pretty lazy those two episodes, really.
And the plot in question would have had to have been made at the time the seeds were planted, long before he claimed to be reformed, and when it’s debatable if he even knew what the elements were before he got hit with them.
>Terrorized the town not hours before the image used.
>Nearly got Twilight and Cadance eaten by giant monster by holding the town hostage, tricking them into going into a dangerous location, and leaving them unattended to sing and dance about how he got them to “face such great danger”.
A train station and a “traveling museum” that looks like it’s made up of a couple dozen booths, tops. If that counts as some sort of rampage to you, raise your standards. Fluttershy has done worse than that.
Not sure how he was “holding the town hostage”, and he certainly wasn’t expecting the worm monster judging by his reaction to it. The singing and dancing thing doesn’t suggest malice so much as it implies that he’s immature and perhaps not especially bright.
In short, he’s lost most of his menace and is kind of a chump at this point.
Fluttershy and Celestia are seriously the only characters that didn’t treat Discord like garbage. It really wasn’t surprising that it took so little convincing for him to betray them.
@MrXemnas1992
Well, you’re complaining about the Mane 6 (minus Fluttershy) being suspicious of Discord, but using an image from an episode where their suspicion was completely justified. Also, early reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have not been kind, so that may have something to do with it.
I don’t recall the dialog from “Princess Twilight Sparkle” going quite like that, but whatever. My memory’s not so good, though; could someone remind me who actually was responsible for the plunder vines?

Best things that jerk did was allow Luna to no longer be the worst traitor in Equestrian history, and the Alicorn Princess with the worst idea ever (that goes to Celestia for trusting Discord in any capacity, not Twilight Sparkle for showing understandable caution with a guy with a provable track record of being a reprehensible person as this image macro would imply).

The Mane Cast didn’t drive Discord back to villainy.
DISCORD NEVER LEFT VILLAINY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
The problem with the people blaming the Mane Cast for causing Discord to turn evil in Twilight’s Kingdom is the fact that they ignore Discord wasn’t some innocent angel who was misguided. He was a sadistic monster who actually was responsible for whatever disaster was going on, and his denials were in fact lies by him.
I hate Discord. I hate Discord with a festering passion. Not just because he’s a petty jerk. Not just because I find him too predictable for a character who gets the title “King of Chaos”. And not just because he’s a lying, manipulative, treacherous, callous, apocalyptic sadist.
I hate him in particular because he inspires victim-blaming in the audience. People are not wrong for not trusting an untrustworthy jerk who has repeatedly lied to them, manipulated them, tried to destroy their country, torment their fellow citizens, and nearly get them eaten by monsters, even after supposedly being redeemed.

“God can’t be disproven”
Sounds legit..
And atheists, since god can’t be proven or disproven the only people who truly lack faith of some kind are agnostics
In light of that, it’s maybe a little ironic that he was too busy being jealous and possessive to notice that Tree Hugger was actually trying to be friendly towards him.

Hey, at least you don’t get the amount of downvotes my pictures get.
Sorry but I’m with SpacePaladin on this one.
It’s the infamous quote from the new Batman v Superman.
Discord was. In the flashback, he’s gobbling and spilling those pludervine seeds.
Oh for fuck’s sake, dude, drop it already…thanks for making me have to add a “drama in the comments” tag.

They should have left him in stone.

I get paranoid about these things. HAVE I LOST MY EDGE OR WHAT?!! TELL ME!
