Pony Venting Thread

@IronYoshi
At least with this one I’m sure more people would be gappy seeing the behind the scenes stuff mire then having to capture every si gle frame if an episode

@Background Pony #B97C
I had to filter “concept art” as a result because it was too much

I read a comment about whether Celestia and Luna are immortal, which suggested that immortality leads to a loss of empathy for “lesser beings.” However, I disagree with this idea.

Just because someone is immortal doesn’t mean they will lose empathy after witnessing the deaths of their loved ones. An immortal being can still feel sadness when someone dies, as they remain fundamentally human (or pony, in this case). They can still make new friends or have responsibilities to care for their people, and while they might be hesitant to form new friendships due to the pain of loss, it doesn’t mean they are incapable of feeling compassion for others.

I’m not sure what the original commenter was thinking, but their perspective seems flawed.

@Background Pony #CE81
Depends on the person. We can both agree and disagree on the same things.

@Background Pony #B97C
Ya it does depend on the person and I say for mine they don’t lose it because they have a job to take care of the land they live in and we’ll live like mortals

@Background Pony #CE81
Indeed - some mortals lack empathy and others have plenty, after all.

@Latecomer
I will try to do my best but in general, I should not worry anyways due to a rule I have about spirits coming back to visit the living

@Latecomer
I think we can take an alternate concept. Rather than “empathy”, we could argue a better axis is “attachment-detatchment”.

You are not necessarily someone who doesn’t care about people’s pain, but trying to absorb much of it would leave you destroyed. If I could use the attatchment theory, the avoidant attachment could be quite an explanation here: Is not that you don’t care, but the necesity of self-reliance and a sensation of futility to make connections can make the person willingly disconnected from others not because they’re aloof for the sake of being aloof but because it’s, in a way, a survival mechanism.

What’s the point of attatchment (not love, attachment) if you spend all the time seeing something withering away?

Empathy, from a technical stand-point is more like a skill of the sorts, while attatchment actually carries decision making. She can care, but she cannot aford to connect with every single being because it’ll be overwhelming.

It doesn’t make Celestia and Luna being needlessly cold but rather it points out why, from a practical stand-point to maintain “sanity” of the sorts would try to not get too close to other ponies.

@Twi Clown
Pretty much this. “Compassion fatigue” is a very real thing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Celestia “hit the wall” after hundreds of years.

Apparently hasbro used an ai vocal remover tool for the instrumental album, even though Daniel Ingram gave them the original instrumental.
I do think vocal moving is an acceptable use of ai But If you have the original files

That speaks to me on a universal level

A visual interpretation of what it’s like when the MOV spammer pops up

@IronYoshi
I hope the removal of AI includes this one.

I wonder how many troll artists are on here.

@IronYoshi
I’ve seen that guy around, don’t know what their deal is

@Mr.Myoozik
It’s a bot, meaning someone decided to program it into this site to fuck with it.

@Butters Stotch
That’s sad

Ok is it one guy posting all of those soarindash pictures daily?

@northern haste
I haven’t noticed. Got that ship filtered.

@northern haste
This is why I hate shipping.

@IronYoshi
I feel that pain.

@Mr.Myoozik
They seem to have seen shed.mov at a point where they couldn’t comprehend horny, and it gave them a speed run through puberty that broke them. Or more likely they were broken before and became horrifically obsessed to an almost sexual orgasm degree. The stuff they spam that isn’t on the order of “but not before Trixie in magic duel and swag.mov” is Tourette’s-level profanity mixed with scat everywhere. But as if a child were writing it without any concept of what any of the words mean. Imagine someone stabbing themselves in the palm of their hand with a pen because that’s what they think sex is, but instead it’s on a keyboard and “shed” means “vagina”.

@northern haste
Yeah I noticed a lot of that ship being uploaded recently. It’s got to where it’s really overdone.

@Butters Stotch
Yeah especially if it’s a problematic ship or canon x oc.

@Starless
The only good canon x oc ship is mine.

@𝕭𝖆𝖉𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙
Many.

Considering most of their time their material is shit I never bothered to identify the trolls from people who actually mean their annoying work.

Dumb question but who or what is this MOV spammer?
