      If may have been valid, but it didn't require you to be condescending or rude about it. He made a detailed post and gave his opinion in a polite manner. You certainly didn't have to respond a condescending and rude manner. You called him juvenile, but your the one who went of the way to insult him.

    4. @Anonymous I'm implying that if there are stories of lesbian and gay horses fucking - it is not a family-friendly website, so there is no point of getting all anal about a suggestive (and funny) comic.

      Whitehawk was juvenile for the very reason I pointed out. End of story.

      Using a stern method of delivery in pointing this out does not make me hypocritical, telling someone to man the fuck up when they clearly deserve it based on what they say may come off as aggressive, but it is not the same as a petty attack when you have already backed it up with a valid point.

      Yeah, I have read that post. He was in no way juvenile. He stated his opinion, and was quite well spoken at that. He doesn't force his point of view on anyone - and why should he? The comic has already been removed - and simply stated why he approves of Seth removing it.

      Then someone comes in and tells him to grow a fucking backbone and calls him juvenile? Hypocrisy.

      I can't say what I wanted to say and still remain neutral.
      I was trying to point out that you just called someone juvenile for calling someone else juvenile. But I didn't want to start a fight over it. It just amused me a little.

    8. @Icehawk

      Oh my God. HE IS NOT JUVENILE. You call him juvenile because the comic will affect the way he views an episode. How is that any different than me calling you juvenile for watching My Little Pony? As long as one doesn't act juvenile, then they are not juvenile.

      And yes, insulting him when he was polite and well spoken and calling him the immature one is quite hypocritical.

    11. @Icehawk I don't see why I would need to grow a backbone, my pony folder contains quite a few rule 34 pictures, clop fictions and grimdark imagery that would easily make a grown person call me a freak.

      I just did not like the comic for reasons other than "It's too saucy".

      I just wanted to present my opinion and be on my way.

      I'm not aggressively insulting others for not reflecting my heart's desire.

      Anyway, I must go, as I need to get back to making a video. Arguing here will lead me nowhere good anyway.

      Do they actually have sexual acts in those fics, or is it just kind of an attraction/dating story? Like I said, I haven't read them. If they do go as far as you say, then I agree that it is strange that people would object to one and not the other. Personally, I do think saucy comics are a little worse than saucy fics, but I don't really have a great argument to back that opinion up. Just a gut reaction to the visual stimuli, I suppose.

    19. @WhiteHawke

      Thats fine, but the way you were presenting your points just came across as juvenile to me and I still fail to see how you could have that contradictory opinion if you already have plenty of Rule 34 pony. That comic was relatively tame by Rule 34 standards.

    20. @Anonymous I haven't read any of local shipping stories, nor I intend to. I still disagree that imagery makes it less "family friendly" then stories of a similar content.

    42. Usually I don't jump into these arguments, but here I go:

      I find it funny that after Seth put up a moderately suggestive comic and very clearly gave it a saucy tag, people had the audacity to order him around and speak on behalf of the entire community. It's Seth's blog, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. Why should we try to mask such a prominent part of the fandom? There was a warning, and if you clicked on it, it's your own fault.

      You have beef with the fact that what he was saying had what was, in your opinion, juvenile content.

      You are a brony. You have most likely, at some point, tried to defend your love of this show from someone who thought it was juvenile. If you haven't, chances are you've seen someone doing so, and I doubt you called them juvenile about it.

      I'm thought about requesting such a page/tab, but I worry about what it would turn into. On one hand, this is supposed to be a blog, not a forum, right? But on the other hand, it would prevent these "discussions" from cluttering up the comments section for the actual material.

      no, you shouldn't. >>

      srsly i can't tell if you're joking or not but if you're not, then in my experience, a debate section needs a large number of mature and dedicated moderators willing and able to step in at a moment's notice to get rid of troublemakers, and a user base of mature, moderately intelligent people who can keep debates civil and mostly debate-like on their own. and if it doesn't have both of those, it will probably be a flaming disaster and you will rue the day you started it.

      I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing and able to mod the debates, and I'm equally as sure that there are plenty of people who can debate properly.

      I'd be willing to be a mod myself, if necessary.

    63. I think "mature and intelligent debate" over a pony comic is an oxymoron.

      ReplyDelete
    64. @Nick

      True. I guess "prevent" was the wrong word. But as ShadowCell just said, such a forum would require dedicated moderators, more than EqD currently has.

      For that reason, I would agree that a debate page would probably be a bad idea. Now, if Seth wants to make a blog post regarding a certain issue (1 at a time) that we can comment on, I think that would work better than a whole forum.

      ReplyDelete
    65. @Anonymous

      I think it could be done. It would just require some thought to go into it and not just be posting a page and going 'HERE GUYS, DEBATE!'

      But Seth's good, I think he could handle it well enough.

      ReplyDelete
    66. @Sethisto It seems the biggest problem wasn't the comic, but the lack of warning. If you had a huge "WARNING, SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE COMIC" and then had the comic in a link, not an embedded picture, people wouldn't have complained as much. I think you should put the comic back up in the format that I recommended, and continue to do so for anything that could be taken offensively.

      No, this is not a family-friendly website, but it looks like one and is by far the #1 website about a show for little girls. My little sister found it on her own and looked at the cute drawings. What if she came today and found this comic? What if she came yesterday and read Skittles ? It looks cute, fun, and harmless, especially when you don't know what "shipping" and "saucy" means. BTW, specifying "not for kids" wouldn't help for obvious reasons.


      This isn't about people "having their show ruined", they can deal with it, it's about the responsibility of holding a blog about a kids show, and I hope Seth understands that.

      Defending something with valid points is not a juvenile act regardless of what is being defended. Just because it is a show aimed at kids and we can take enjoyment in watching it doesn't make it wrong or hypocritical to point out when someone is apparently being immature on a completely separate subject matter.

    72. @The Blind Astronomer It doesn't matter what the blog is about. Who is its audience is what matters. There are plenty of mlp-related websites for kids and EqD was never one of them.

      I can bet that people who were complaining about the mildly suggestive comic have seen more disturbing porn on the Internet then most of its average users.

Is it the viewer's fault? Kind of, but not entirely. It's just human nature. Regardless of whether or not the pic should be on here at all, we would see a lot less complaining if the saucy warnings were more visible.

    77. @ Anon 3:14

      True, but the thing is, those warnings were purposely misleading. If this comic was part of a link that read "WARNING, SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE THEMES, MAY BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" and they click on that sentence and see the comic, there is no WAY anyone could POSSIBLY say they weren't warned. And if they were warned, that means they chose to see the comic at their own discretion, which doesn't put the brony fandom in a bad light.

      ReplyDelete
    78. How was number 2 that bad? I mean honestly? When I started reading the comments I though it was the scootaloo x dash comic where you actually saw dash's vag... But the number 2 comic that was removed was nothing! Even the uncensored version really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

      Buuuuuuttttttt I can also understand removing it. I mean Equestria Daily is like the biggest FiM fan site/news site on the internet... Keeping it G is good in that regard.

      Still comic 2 should still be posted just with warnings... If someone is stupid enough to ignore the warnings and look at the comic then its their own fault. Hell if you want to be safe just add a pop up for confirmation saying "this comic contains blah blah blah. are you sure you wish to continue?" that way no one can say "oh it was a miss click..."

      Having something as soft core as comic 2 on the site should be ok. Taking some precautions never hurts though. Some of us are mature enough to handle it but its the immature ones who throw a fit over something as sad as that comic...

      It does when unintended audience is very likely to stumble into it. When you choose to make a blog about a kids' show, and that blog gets 2 million clicks a week and is referenced in many youtube videos, it's your responsibility to make it safe for kids. They do get here on their own and look at the cute pictures. Oh, look, funny comics !

Its just a fantasy of another fantasy and if he has all sorts of other Pony Rule 34 like he stated later, something like thtat *shouldn't* bother him in that way.

    91. Also, consider this: there is no such things as "innocent minds" on the Internet. It takes a child about 20 minutes of unsupervised web-browsing to get into their first porn website.

      The belief that children will be more traumatized by a suggestive comics is mainly held by adults whose mind is still in the 90th. Children have seen porn. Children know what porn is. Children aren't getting traumatized by it. Stop bringing children into the argument.

But passing a judgement on people who like this comic as being "Fucked up in the head"? Fucking sickening.

    95. I sincerely doubt every single little girl looking for My Little Pony content has already browsed for porn. Even if it was true, there is a huge gap between discovering sex and seeing the sexualization of ponies.

      Do you even realize how much more traumatizing than porn such content can be to a little girl ? They're not as desensitized as we are. They're not even emotionally built yet,and these shows are supposed to represent innocence, to be their models.

      I disagree. Opinions are opinions, and are not meant to be criticized. Now, had he been stating his opinion as a fact, yes. there would have been an issue. But he was not. He was stating his opinion as just that: his opinion.

      And sorry, but that's it. I can't deal with pigheaded stupidity for extended periods of time. I'm gone.

      Haha...love and tolerate my ass...
      So... you're saying that comic WASN'T disgusting... Interesting.

      If those furries really ARE not that bad, assuming they're who you're talking about, why don't they SHOW that side? I feel that it's like the Bronies that they didn't give a shit about managing the image of the fandom as a whole. It ruined them. No one likes them. I'm sure they're as cool as anyone else (AlvinEarthworm, Kitsune^2, FoxAmoore), but most people don't, and if they don't, then neither do I see any reason to not despise them.

      Oh they DO hurt us. Just going around on the internet and you see fucked up shit that makes you puke. Furries are one of them.

      Oh wait, as if you'll see this comment. You're probably off doing something else by now.

    103. I just want to say something.
      This is Seth's site, not ours.
      Seth did say that he would not post porn on this site, however, his exact definition of porn may be different from yours and this is his site.
      The only thing that everyone can agree upon is that if it shows private parts and is meant to be fapped to then it is porn.
      If he had posted something like the above then demanding it be taken down would be justified, do to the fact that he would be contradicting himself.
      Seth did not post porn according to his standards on his site so he did not contradict himself thus making any demands against him unjustified.

      Now, for people who say that he needs to accept responsibility for the fandom or I say BS.
      Sethiso is not our leader, he has never said he was our leader, and we never made him our leader. He is one of us and thus has no responsibility for us. The fact that this site is so popular only would make him a jerk if he posted something that made us out in a bad light. it would not make him "wrong" as many of you are suggesting.
      For the children argument a child is their guardian's responsibility, no one else's.

      I would also like to ask everyone to ask their selves something. If you had the power to, would you force Seth to not post that comic. If so, what if you ran your own site and someone forced you do do something against your will? How would you feel?

      Next, I would like to point out that if someone has an intolerant opinion, they are not wrong. However, arguing with someone who has an intolerant opinion is not intolerant if you do not attempt to force someone to be tolerant.

      Intolerance is when you would force someone to do something you want them to do if you had the power to do so.

      Finally, I would just like to say that my opinion of "wrong" is when you infringe upon the rights to life, liberty, and property of someone else. I base my personal morals around rights, I don't base peoples rights around my personal morals.

      'Why should we try to mask such a prominent part of the fandom?'
      -To protect the reputation of the fandom's majority, as this is one of the largest hubs of the brony community, one which many people who are new to MLP soon find, and one which minors may also find easy to discover (not saying I disapprove of anything borderline racy, nor the grimdark fics and whatnot, just that it's good to have some limits in place)

      I support Sethisto's decision to remove the comic not because I find it offensive, but because I'm not sure it's something the majority of bronies are comfortable being associated with. In my opinion, removing it was a wise decision, just to be safe.

      I think that taking care when selecting what to include and what not, and risk offending those who do want to see such excluded things on the blog, will cause less discomfort overall than being more lax with what is posted, and risk offending broader types of people, including those new to the fandom, and those outside of it altogether

      Just my 2 cents, not demeaning anyone else's opinion. I think discussing this is a good thing, let's just try to keep civil about it :)

      ReplyDelete
    106. Also I agree that it is ultimately Sethisto's decision to make and that no-one should expect him to cave in to either side just because we make noise about it. While I do agree with Seth's decision here I'd say the same think even if I disagreed with it

      Here is something I posted an another furry debate. I hope it interests you:

      Whenever I have seen a furry respond to questions in an interview such as "Is it true that you people enjoy erotic anthropomorphic art, dress up in fursuits and go to conventions?" pretty much every reply is the same and boils down to something like this: "Well.. some of us do that stuff but only a minor percentage and those people are usually shunned upon by the rest of the community."

      The reporters expect this reply and then use the logic, "They are ashamed, thus it is all true."

      However, If they were to say something along the lines of: "Yeah, some of us enjoy erotic anthropomorphic art and some of us do dress up in fursuits, so what? What a man does in private is his own business and who are we to deny or shun his right to do so? A furry is simply someone who enjoys anthropomorphic art. No matter the way, shape, or form. Simple as that."

      If they reply like that then it would place them on the moral high ground and thus, make it obvious that the reporter is just a giant dick for judging people based on what they like and don't like while the furry would look honorable for defending his fellow furries without shame.

      It might seem a little bit unrelated but it portrays what I try and get across.

    108. *checks first comic, unaware there has ever been a second one*

      *notice almost 500 comments in less than an hour*

      *check comments to find out what the commosion is about*

      -.-' honestly, bronies, pull yourself together.


      A saucy (even if extra saucy) comic was posted.
      Now I'm completly fine with people wording their opinions and showing their dislike for such material, but there's a huge difference between wording concerns and hysterically freaking out.

      Take a deep breath before letting out your full emotional distress in a comment.

      I haven't read all the comments, but honestly, has any of you actually asked Sethisto politely to "please remove it" instead of predicting the ponypocalypse or worse falling on the world?

      Same guy here. You seem to think that because they produce something "Disgusting", that it is hurting people. For one, MANY and I would argue MOST people wouldn't find this comic "Disgusting". Unnerving, maybe, disturbing perhaps, but sickening? Please, this is child's play compared to other things adults have seen. You don't see any reason not to despise them? I'm sorry, but, do you lack morality? Do you lack the ability to respect the rights of a group of people you disagree with? Because, not to use a ridiculous comparison, you sound like Hitler with that attitude. They produce cartoon anthropomorphic animal sex. They don't force you to watch it. You choose that yourself. If it disgusts you, that's great, like I've said before, grow thicker skin. You have the right to hate them and denounce them, but it doesn't mean that it IS right. A large amount of people find anthropomorphic animals attractive, and to pass judgement that there is something mentally wrong with these people is just as idiotic as it is wrong.

    113. @Filieces(gah how do you guys do that? Look at that! Is the name blue? no probably not)

      "Yeah, some of us enjoy erotic anthropomorphic art and some of us do dress up in fursuits, so what? What a man does in private is his own business and who are we to deny or shun his right to do so? A furry is simply someone who enjoys anthropomorphic art. No matter the way, shape, or form. Simple as that."

      That looks like something really easy to bash at, make fun of. "OMG theze guyz watch furry pron & wear furrysuits! should be ashamed of thmeselves!!11?1!"

      If those really are a minority, it's probably best to make it CLEAR that they are only a minority. Because that is the TRUTH, and they are clearly WRONG to think otherwise. I mean look! Even I thought furries were all like that! If you think 'furry' what's the first thing you think of? Exactly. All I know is, they weren't good at keeping their image.

      I'd agree if you said that "We need to make it clear that they don't represent the fandom as a whole as well as stating that they are a minority.

      What I'm against is saying that they are a minority and SHUNNING them for it.
      It just came across to me that you implied that people who do enjoy the erotic pony art are vile and should be shunned. If that's not what you meant then sorry for the misunderstanding.

    118. CHILD'S PLAY?! SHE. WAS. LICKING. HER VAGINA. Very subtle and implied INDEED!
      I mean... it's bad enough is what I'm saying...

      "you sound like Hitler with that attitude."

      Gah...Godwin's Law. But fine, I see your point. I don't disagree with them, but everyone else doesn't like them. Nothing to do with democracy or anything, just that the majority is probably right. Or more sane :D and normal, obviously. Confine to their views or CHANGE their views.

      Another thing is there is a freedom of what you can be, but you still must take the consequences. Say...ok, say you join... any religion. From then on, the general views and stereotypes of that group will apply to you, too. Wether it's true or not.

      They produce cartoon anthropomorphic animal sex. They don't force you to watch it. You choose that yourself. If it disgusts you, that's great, like I've said before, grow thicker skin.

      They don't force me, but it's inevitable that I will hit one by accident or prank. Not their fault I know and I agree that I should just...*ugh, blech* and move on.

      "...it doesn't mean that it IS right."
      Ya, doesn't mean it's wrong either. :D YOU also have the right to NOT hate them and defend them but does that mean you're right? It's subjective. Both of us are neither right or wrong.

      "A large amount of people find anthropomorphic animals attractive,"
      Sorry I keep using quotes but aw cmon! how many people are furries?!

      The best responses to those types of questions are "I don't know.", "Who cares?", and "It's none of my business." otherwise you give the impression that there is some sort of dark side that you are (or should be) ashamed of.

      Even simply pointing out that those people who enjoy the erotic part of whatever fandom are in the minority doesn't do any good because it implies that their behavior is somehow harmful or undesirable.

Those who abuse something as bright and innocent as MLP;FiM in that way give Bronies a bad name. I'd hate to see this wonderful site degenerate into a furry haven. Hopefully MLP:FiM's adult appeal is its magic and its message, NOT that it's provided some troubled individuals with a new fetish. Bleah.

      It's just that when the named folks do stupid crap, it's archived and they can't get away from it as easy as some nameless, faceless shmuck with a mouth and something to say.
