It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
(I didn't, largely since I've never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)
EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.
I'll always have a soft spot for it because it was a cute and happy show that I watched during a very dark and isolating time in my life, but goddamn if it doesn't have just the absolute worst fucking values in retrospect. It's not the worst thing liberals have made, certainly, but it is exactly what you said: just peak liberal fantasy where monarchism is fine as long as it's nice and a horribly inequitable society is charming and happy so everything's fine.
Pony Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Ponyville
is this site trying to turn me into an MLP fangirl now
Wish I could've read that writeup. It sounds good.
Aren't the ponies assigned to various jobs at birth or something? Like they have a magical inclination to be lower class or whatever.
I've never watched this cartoon and I don't know shit but from the little I know about their society it did seem like a capitalist realism framework
Or "what the Hell is Fluttershy's business model? Do the animals have money?"
The "fashionista pony" does have employees, albeit in her Manehattan boutique instead of her studio in Ponyville.
Also, Pinkie Pie is an employee of Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
Yeah, that subplot was introduced around season 4-5 I believe.
From the shape of this pony’s skull we can see they are a rainbow flutter shy
The HOI4 MLP mod (which is, by far, the best made HOI4 mod) has Our Town join the larger more successful communist state of Stalliongrad, which it bordered.
