For once we agree. Not helped by the fact that Fimfiction’s staff is utterly garbage at properly moderating their site.
 
Not even joking, groups are literally allowed to just self-moderate and not have any oversight from anyone outside the group. Because THAT won’t lead to circle-jerking at all…

I think Zecora (and probably Zebras in general) were meant to represent Africans. The only problem seems to be that Zecora was based on many African stereotypes, and the show staff (and possibly Hasbro in general) are afraid to accidentally write something extremely offensive because they probably don’t want to make Zecora stick out like a sore thumb among the other Zebras. Also doesn’t help that Zecora speaks in rhyme, which would make writing dialogue for them pretty hard.

While I remember some complaining about Zecora being an “African stereotype,” ironically, I’ve never seen an actual African, or person of African-decent complain about her much.  
She’s honestly not as stereotypical as some other cartoon characters out there, and her neckrings, jewelry, masks, and such are just meant to be cultural, not offensive.  
Zecora, and her “zebra” culture were portrayed quite positively actually, so it is a shame we haven’t gotten to see more of that “zebra culture” possibly out of the writer’s fear of accidentally being offensive.
 
It’s kinda a shame we have to pretend cultures don’t exist in fear of stereotyping them.
 
@Jarkes  
Not to mention, sites that have done that “self-moderation,” oftentimes people abuse that power…  
I’ve been blocked from several people on DA’s accounts, just for merely disagreeing with them… One of ’em even tried to tell others I was a troll…

It’s still a way too high number on its own anyway. 200-300 people with THAT mentality is a serious thing….
 
Still, those hundreds of negative/toxic fans don’t speak for the thousands or millions of other fans out there. The good/dedicated fans still outnumber the bad.  
Also, there’s still good fans whom have a few negative opinions, as well, and still enjoy the show.
 
You need to not let others’ negative, or opposing opinions bother you so much.  
Admittedly, as a Nintendo-fan, I admit I tire of the hatred, (especially the people bashing every new NES game added to the controversial Switch online service, whether they’re good or bad/mediocre, it’s disheartening seeing people bash some of my favorite childhood games) but it’s a bit naive to assume all that is just going to go away if you leave the internet, because that kinda thing goes on IRL, as well. (Heck, just look how divided America is getting politically.)
 
So eventually you’ll have to learn to deal with that IRL too.

I really wish I’d stop making disastrous mistakes like posting in the wrong thread or jumping to dangerous conclusions. More on topic, I posted this a while back, what do people think of that hypothesis?

It’s pretty obvious that there were a lot of free slots for episodes that were given to either cross off items on the staff’s bucket list, especially the VAs or to close off loose ends for a “Perfect/Golden” end to the series.
 
Unsurprisingly, a large % of those ended up bombing, turns out a bad writer is still better than a non-writer and that the depth of a setting isn’t meant to stop at what viewers can see only, huh.

I think the other big thing is that Zecora talks in rhyme, and assuming the other Zebras do as well, the writers might not be able to figure out how to write an entire civilization that talks in rhyme, without it sounding too unnatural or getting annoying after a while.

They managed to write an entire race that talked with nothing but silient gestures. They could have written a Zebra episode if they had wanted to.

Had to scroll a long while to find any of his comments, but he doesn’t seem to be that bad? Definitely on the rougher side and a “you can’t like what I dislike” type, but I’m not exactly seeing how he’s so horrible? Unless someone has some screenshots of his worse comments that are even farther down the comment section.

I’m seeing a couple “Rephrasing a post to make it seem harsher” cases, including one in which they took a 1 - 10 review of the season and made it A - E just so it would be more obvious that S9 “Fails”, the kind of petty shit that benefits absolutely nobody but themselves. This is the kind of poster that doesn’t add to the discussion and definitely seems like they wouldn’t even get along people trying to agree with them.
 
“Oh, you think you hated this episode? Watch this”.
 
Then again, plenty of “Well, I loved the episode so your argument is invalid” pricks and one awfully familiar name running interference with every single criticism around, so yeah, just your usual Saturday.
