That & way more.

@Background Pony #4B02  
Is not her fault.

@Background Pony #5676  
You are right, darn it, i was so cloes. On another note what did you think of this picture?
 
@HumanoSiniestro  
Imagen what Sweetie Belle do then.

I fear you, Rarity…

You misspelled disposable.

@Twilight_sparkle
 
No worries dude. That’s just, like, your opinion man XD

In all seriousness, I like you. You’re silly ^^

Let me ask you a few questions before I jet:

@Twilight_sparkle  
The fact that you just TL;DR’d them shows how sad and intolerant you are. You aren’t even willing to expand your views or learn from others. I’m thoroughly disappointed.

@wayward  
TL;DR. Unless you have a degree, I don’t care about your armchair analyst approach. I think I saw you ended your comment with a Marylin Manson quote? Kinda cringey tbh. We’re all weird. That’s what brought us to this site. There is no excuse for harboring any mental capacity that justifies the desire to sexualize human children. Sorry.

@Twilight_sparkle
 
I’ve been observing this thread developing over the past few days and find it kind of interesting.
 
MLP characters represent different things to different people, and a lot of the time putting to paper (or pixel in this case) what one thing means to one person could mean something else to another. Sweetie Belle could represent part of the self for all we know – someone weaker, smaller, and dependent… without necessarily representing anything more than that. In that case part of what’s inspired this is fear and vulnerability, which can turn people on. That’s art for ya. The fact that you’re so deadset on telling this person how you feel about this being bad from your standpoint is actually a pretty valid argument, you have the right to be offended, but telling them that they are wrong and this shows that they’re a pedophile is not sound logic (or good form). You are inserting your personal narrative on to them, which is buttz and doesn’t represent good boundaries. Couple that with cartoons not being real, if anything they might represent a place where the real doesn’t apply and people can explore – in a safespace – different ideas, we have a template for discussion.
 
Let’s say you’re on to something and some of the people who like this stuff aren’t healthy… so what? I’d much rather people modulate and sublimate those urges with a cartoon character than hurt one of my younger family members or their friends.
 
Your entire standpoint feels more an attack – it would be like if someone were to say your comments are mostly routed in emotional reaction and a desire to control with one’s own narrative, which in turn represent the casualized direction the internet has been headed in for the past several years.
 
“Don’t like what you see, don’t look. Don’t like what you hear, don’t listen.” – not sure who to attribute that quote to, Marylin Manson is the first place I saw it.

@Twilight_sparkle  
Calling you out for being a hypocrite =/= standing up for him

@BakedBeans  
The shit i like is most definitely fucked up, but I’m not the one fantasizing about having sex with human children. But that’s cool; stand up for the pedophile.

@Twilight_sparkle  
Going off your own logic, a quick glance at your favorites list tells me you’ve got no room to talk here

@HydroFTT  
And what’s your stance? Fantasizing about enslaving children for sex is okay because there are other people committing crimes? Lol okay dude, whatever. High schoolers can be 18. And the horses are not depicted as children. I’m not going to continue arguing with a pedophile. Bye.

@Twilight_sparkle  
I don’t feel the need to defend myself, because I’m not the one who is clearly upset. Since you’ve basically just resorted to personal attacks, I think I’ve made my point clear enough and it’s pretty obvious how weak your stance is. Just to clarify though, does this mean you think viewing animated/cartoon horses in sexual situations is the same as wanting to fuck a horse? How about humanized ponies from Equestria Girls, aren’t they teenage high school students in that series? By your own logic, do you think it’s okay to want to have sex with a horse or a high school girl? Just curious.

@Twilight_sparkle  
Ooof. Mods gonna come in and start swinging hammers here soon. I understand your view and share it to a degree, but I don’t think there’s any need to start attacking others like a rabid dog.

@HydroFTT  
Oof, someone’s offended. Look man, throughout this entire conversation, I’ve never heard you refute the fact that you enjoy getting off to children being force to commit sexual acts. The fact that you have ANY capacity to view this as acceptable, fantasy or not, is fucked up. Try and justify it all you want, I still view you as scum. Plenty of pedophiles are incarcerated for having fucked up pictures on their hard drives, and they may not actually commit any physical act of harm to a child, but it’s still illegal and it’s most definitely fucked up. If you feel like you’re somehow vindicated in the fact that a child is animated and not an actual person, you are deeply disturbed, and you are, in fact, blurring the lines. I’m probably not going to take therapeutic advice from someone who fantasizes about underaged kids. Hope you understand ;)

@Twilight_sparkle  
Except your point wasn’t that it’s “gross”, it’s that it erodes some imaginary boundry that will “collapse, and there won’t be a difference” between fantasy and reality. I assume that this means you think people who fantasize about things will eventually either act on them or inspire others to act on them, however there is literally no evidence for that. My argument is if this were true, people who enjoy stories about murders will eventually murder people, and if that was true it should be illegal to even write about it. People make the EXACT SAME argument about violent video games, but time and time again studies have shown even children can grasp the difference between fantasy and reality, and violence in a fantasy setting does not translate to violence in reality. It honestly concerns me that you think imaginary abuse is equal somehow to a real life act, and I don’t mean that as a dig but maybe you should find someone to talk to about that blurred line between fantasy and reality.

@HydroFTT  
I mean, if you want to argue high school logical fallacies, we can. You said my argument is a slippery slope, and then you go one to present a doozy of a straw man.
 
In your initial comment you said you agree with the idea of forcing an underaged person into sexual servitude in an entirely fictional setting. Then, in your follow-up comment, you confirm this is something you fantasize about, and that it is not a crime to do so. You’re right, it isn’t a crime. But what exactly are you arguing? Because it sounds like you’re saying it’s okay to be a pedophile as long as you don’t act on it. Then it sounds like your justifying this with the fact that people are committing actual crimes elsewhere in the world. That doesn’t make it okay to fantasize about children being forced to do sexual acts. It sounds like you’re trying to justify your fantasy with some depraved argument, that since you haven’t acted on these tendencies, that somehow makes it okay. I’m sorry, that’s just disgusting.

@Twilight_sparkle  
I think that’s absolutely flawed thinking, and is more harmful than the supposed harm fictional/fantasy “crimes” could ever cause. This is the kind of twisted logic that leads to thought police and sexual repression, which could actually cause it to spill over into reality. Not being able to distinguish fantasy from reality is a mental disorder, assuming you’re mentally mature. To say that “a crime committed” is the same as “a crime fantasized about” are the same is a slippery slope. In that case, we should arrest everyone who read Lolita, or everyone who read Dexter? What about the authors of brutal, sexual, or violent works of art? Are these people mentally disturbed? Are they going to go out and commit these acts? The obvious answer should be “no”, but when you get into things that are created as fetish porn suddenly it creates a knee-jerk reaction. Using fantasy as a way to express ourselves is innately human, as is expressing those fantasies in art. People have every right not to like it, or even to judge the people who indulge in it, but to criminalize it is absolutely wrong and misguided in my opinion. The focus of the law, and by extent what should be allowed in society, should be on people who are ACTUALLY committing crimes that have victims that exist in the real world. There’s no blurring of consent between a fictional and real setting, and if there is that falls more under getting psyciatric treatment not changing the way the world works.

@HydroFTT  

When i saw rarity with a sigh in watch list And I instantly thought oh god

@HydroFTT  
Hah I mean basically.
 
The only reason I even bothered to say “Rarity no” is because it’s like… sometimes you wonder if some people actually understand that line between fiction and reality.
 
Most do of course. But some… some really make you wonder.

Just to toss in my two cents, I don’t disagree with the idea on some silly pretense of consent or legal age in an entirely fictional setting. Fiction and fantasy are not the place to be debating that, it’s just virtue signaling. There are real issues and crimes being committed every day and plenty of ways to actually make a difference on such issues. The lazy slapping of poorly-worded dialogue on an already crappy meme is what gets my downvote. As a picture or story (with comprehensible grammar) the idea would be great in my opinion.

@Twilight_sparkle  
Again, sorry.

Hey, I’m also someone with a raging diaper fetish. Just weighing in, unsolicited, this isn’t cool. Besides the fact that this pits a child as the subject of sexualized content being an immediate RARITY NO, there’s also the fact that sweetie belle is being forced into it, which is really unsettling when you take a minute to unpack it. I like consent and you should too.
