Yeah, I also tire of people denying people in the center exist too.

@Beau Skunky
I remember someone once said instead of grouping People left or right, Group them stupid or not stupid.

@Background Pony #9B7B
I disagree honestly. I think for the most part it was a witch-hunt.

Also, honestly I don’t think people being right, or even just slightly “right of center” automatically makes them some kinda political radical, and I’ve met crazies and radicals on all political sides.

Like a guy called me a “Pinko liberal,” because I told him I didn’t like a remark he made about Jews, (Got some Jewish ancestry here) and meanwhile a guy tried to call me “a right-wing fascist,” just because I made a remark making fun of Twitter.
…Which am I?

Honestly, you can’t win either way as “politics” have become a “religion” for some people.

That’s just a hoax

This has aged (kinda) well.

LOL anyone with decent knowledge of GIMP or Photoshop can make this and pretend it’s a screencap of an article. Further proving the point of the Fake News Media.

@Darth Sonic  
Yah, that was a bad choice of words. I was referring to how emotional connections with other people are “addictive”, for lack of a better word, due to the short term happiness they give, but then in the long term they just waste time and interfere with priorities

@Prometheus labs CEO  
No, you have problems. If you want to live the introverts life, fine, your life. But comparing it to a lie destroying condition like alcoholism in all seriousness is frankly cartoonish.

@Darth Sonic  
As I said, when you have responsibilities, friendship is nothing but a burden

@Burger King Leonidas  
Oh dear LORD do I agree with THAT. There is no fucking way the Mane 6 could work as teachers and maintain their careers and have meaningful social lives the war Season 8-9 depicted.

@Darth Sonic  
Oh god I wouldn’t say that. I was continuing my previous train of thought in the past few comments of mine about how season 9 seemed to rail against those who were too bogged down by responsibilities to hang out with friends.

@Burger King Leonidas  
I mean, I agree, but this was in response to you apparently agreeing with someone who says that having friends is as unhealthy as being an alcoholic.

@Darth Sonic  
I’m just saying, the butter bitch has to manage a sanctuary, her cottage home where all the other pets she takes care of live, and a classroom at a rapidly growing academy. I’d say Flutters deserves some slack from her bunny friend instead of constantly being bitched at because she’s living her dream AND ensuring that they all don’t go homeless.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
Oh yes, because social isolation ain’t used to hurt people either.

@Darth Sonic  
Yah, in the form sensory isolation/deprivation or complete isolation from human contact. Both being a couple orders of magnitude above your standard social “isolation”, which is just not interacting/connecting with people on any emotionally deep level

@Beau Skunky  
Only a couple of episodes was actually about racism anyway

@Burger King Leonidas  
Isolation is literally used as torture, you edgelords.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
>Similar to alchhol.
 

@Burger King Leonidas  
Oh, that ep I haven’t seen yet. I’m referring to Putting your Hoof Down.

@Meanlucario  
I don’t remember vet pony or Zecora giving her major shit (at least before and after the body swap). Just that they noticed how Angel seems to constantly want her attention.

@Burger King Leonidas  
Seeing as the Angel thing was one episode where everyone but the Mane Six were being a dick to Fluttershy, I wouldn’t count that one.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
I mean look at how Angel treated Fluttershy for not giving him enough attention despite her needing to juggle her sanctuary and her responsibilities as a teacher in an academy. Or how Trixie treats Starlight because she has to be there for the people going to said academy. Or even how dejected Cheese Sandwich gets when he realizes that being the owner of a factory means you have to help oversee things and not go and see how people are enjoying what you make.

@Beau Skunky  
This was fake, but there were articles repeating somewhat similar claims.

@Burger King Leonidas  
Once you start having responsibilities, you learn that friendship is nothing but an unhealthy burden that gets in the way of said responsibilities, similar to alcohol

@Beau Skunky  
What? You think FiM naturally reached a point where they were writing stories about friends getting into arguments or being miserable in general because they have to deal with having jobs and responsibilities?
