Thanks for the honest feedback.


 
I admit this scene almost killed my motivation for this comic. The main reason why I'm still going on is that I have a strong feel of responsibility for those who actually seem to like it - be it for the story or just the art alone. Anyway, the comic probably won't survive another backlash.


 
I don't know if I had talked about why the story went this way, or if there is any point in explaining (I don't want to convince you to read the comic as I'm really not proud of it anymore after this scene happened), but **in case anyone is interested to know:*

The scene was planned differently. Derpy and Starlight were going to start a fight in which Starlight tried to do mind manipulation on Derpy. Changeling-Derpy would have resisted Starlight's strong magic since she is a master of mind games herself, mocking Starlight to be a weak magician (which she isn't).


 
I didn't notice the scene was this far off-canon (I'm a little blind for story issues), so I told the writer to pull the emergency brake after the shit storm happened. He didn't want to drop the scene entirely so I made him cut it as short as possible and never mention Starlight again (she would have [spo||iler]informed the Princesses, helping them find the changeling[/|| - that was the poilnt of ther] scene).


 
I can only apologize again for messing the story up. The writer made her extremely ooc (it wasn't hate as far as I know but not understanding her actual character) and I made him rip her out of the story so it doesn't spread to the later chapters.

No reason given
