      imo applejack isnt popular because her charecter doesnt realy have any problems , and the ones she does have only exist for one episode or arent seent as bad charecter traits, she seams superstitious but its never called out, shes a tad money obsesed but its not seen as a bad thing, she over works herself but its only mentioned in one episode, i hope they expand on these "bad" traits and make her charecter more intersting in season 2,

      the comic is awesome by the way

      There's a major typo in the Liar-jack comic. She's saying "the moon landing in 1969 was real" when she clearly should have said "professional wrestling is real". Seriously, if Buzz Aldrin caught wind of this, he'd give a punch in the face to whover did this comic.

      "This meme might be just the thing Applejack needs to finally take over the ponydom for once."

      Eh... I worry about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely loving the Liarjack meme, and glad that AJ's getting some attention. And sure, all of the mental breakdowns in Season 1 were epic (part of the reason I fell in love with the show TBH), and the Discorded ponies in the last episode were amazing too.

      BUUUT on the other hoof, you don't want anypony to be popular ONLY in episodes where they're acting goofy (The Return of Harmony Part 1, Applebuck Season). AJ deserves a standout episode where she's in her right mind, too :(

      If it was a joke, it's funny because of the reaction it got.

      If it's not a joke, it's funny because the artist is clearly a loon.

      Either way, I lol'd.

      Yes, Sumica, because the punchline is much more important than debunking a conspiracy theory. I'm a physicist. Telling me that there wasn't a moon landing is like telling a materials scientist that there's no such thing as graphene. In short; arglrarglraegraegraeg.

      Oh com'on, you take it waaaay to seriously damn it. Poor artist of the second comic had to disable comments because people were bombarding him with stuff about the moonlanding, GET OVER IT !!!

      It's just a comic, it was a joke. I swear I simply cannot imagine what drives one into a fanatic crusade because of something like this.
      As if you HAVE TO prove it and NEED TO convince people of anything. All this becuase of a pony comic.

      Honestly. Chill down.

      You "oh so scientific" people, while indulging in your vast orgy of logic and reason, really can't see how ironic this is?

      You take it so seriously you don't even allow the slightest implication of anything in contradiction with science to appear, not even in a comic.

      Where have I seen this before...religious zealots? The Church? Oh yeah.
      What's next, you are going to crucify the next artist/write/whatever who makes a joke of the hadron collider being a giant strawberry mixer?

      Smear as much as you want, this is one of the prime reasons why I think science, in one way or another, is just another religion, fills the same needs and invokes the same reaction from people.

      Times change. Technology changes. But humans don't.

      Anyhow, it's now me taking this too seriously, so no more ranting. Just please, leave the artists alone. Especially the brony artists, since I'm pretty confident they aim to entertain rather than opening debates and questioning the foundations of science (or anything at all).

      @Ewyndall
      It's a sore issue, Ewyndall. It would be a bit like adding something about abortion.

      Science is not just another religion because science changes its views based on evidence rather than ignoring or trying to discredit evidence that doesn't match its preconceived notions.
      If you show me convincing evidence that the landings were faked, I'll turn on a dime and start shouting in the streets that, oh my god, we were deceived! But that's not the case, and to claim otherwise pisses on the thousands of people who worked together to bring this to fruition, on the lives of those who died in the process, and on the single greatest achievement in the history of humanity.

      So yes, it's a little bit of a hot button.

      @silentcarto If religious people can take a joke about their religion from time to time without flipping out, then you (and others) should be able to take a joke about the moon landings from time to time. Besides, the artist said that it was just part of the joke, and you can think of it as "Applejack wouldn't believe that the moon landings are real." rather than the artist trying to state that they weren't.

      I think the creator of the comic threw in that moon landing thing just for trolling purposes. I see many mad people here. Successful troll was successful.

      @silentcarto

      Similarities are still hard to deny. Science's higher reason is either science itself, or progress, betterment of mankind, etc.
      Religion usualy puts some noble goal aswell, usualy something about pleasing chosen God thus providing a better life, ranging from saving people soul to better crops.

      In pursue of said higher cause, both are comitting arbitrary sacrifices.
      Animal / human experiments for science or sacrifice in the case of some religions.

      Obviously there are differences that shouldn't be looked over, but I tend to believe that for everyday people, it acts the same.

      People who don't really do science i.e. they aren't scientist themselves can't do much but blindly follow what was told them that was scientifily proven (just think of the masses ordering crap from TV which is sold by cheap lines such as "scientificly breakthrough").
      They don't need evidence coz, well, they wouldn't understand it anyways.
      Comon, prove me that black holes exist. You can't. Even if you had all the evidence, equations, theories of high physics in your mind I wouldn't understand it, coz I have no training of any kind in that field.
      I accept their existense coz the world around me tells so.

      Now, spin back time, 600 years for example. "This is so COZ GOD WILLS" and the priests deducted it from the holy scripts.
      Common people had no control over it, lack of ability to read and lack of theological knowledge.
      They accepted it, coz it gave them a sufficent answers + the world around them accepted it.

      I don't think priests wanted to scam people at all, they truly believed in what they said and for them, said scripts or miracles were proof.

      And people followed.

      What I'm trying to tell here, even if I probably lack the verbal ability in my current state:

      For the everyday person, both science and religion works the same way. The purpose for both were to give answers to our questions as to why things happen and how they work while having little control over its validity themselves.

      Honestly. If tomorrow Science magazine writes an article that Pluto is actually made of painted rubber ducks, what can you do? Ask for evidence? They will probably toss you a bunch of info you can't analyze. They will claim they have proven it, have evidence, you just lack the ability to understand.
      And let's be honest, apart from common sense, you would have nothing against it.

      My second point is: people attacking this artist are hypocrits.

      Honestly, how many people are there who's relatives, even distant relatives have been working on or were involved in the moon landing? I don't think a lot, and even less who's family had to sacrifice anything for it.
      They have nothing personal in this matter.

      They are just shouting and smearing the same way any peasent would have 600 years ago against someone who claimed God doesn't exist or the Holy Church is fake.

      Simply put: this whole thing has NOTHING to do with science actually. Nothing. It's about someone making a joke about something that can be considered a national pride and the base of people's views.

      And some feel the need to counter-attack to defend their little world and cofidence.

      Now, I ask you, if an innocent pony comic can result in such a reaction, I wonder how would the very same people react to anything more serious.

      (Some sci-fi novels come to mind where a science-based regime takes control and kills/removes anyone denying their scientific views).

      Umm, you know the moon landing WAS real, right? But I did flip out about that because that had nothing to do with the actual joke itself. The point of the joke was Twilight still believes in Santa, and refuses to accept otherwise. Honestly, you can disagree with something, but if it's not the direct point or even a side point, I see no reason in making it a huge debate.
