please note the first “licius” vid was done by tara herself for fun, BlackGryphon only did a little animation to accompany it.
But on that note, I think there’s like one person groaning about it in this thread alone.
now complaining about the grumpy cat is stupid, it was in screen for 2 seconds.
how the fuck this is pandering?
I thought when they having a big deal on pandering, they just overthinking or overreacting too much.
Ponylicious reference

That wouldn’t have even registered with me. What an overreaction!
i do not count eqg as part of the show,
a bit forced but it lasts 10 seconds and it could have been much worse.
Myself, I define “pandering” on a per-instance basis, and take various things into account such as where the reference originated, and how it is used.
The only things I consider “pandering” are things like the Trixie/CMC scenes in EQG, or the Grumpy Cat cutie mark.
The Trixie/CMC scenes are just bringing the story to a complete halt to make a joke or flash some characters in your face, and the Grumpy Cat cutie mark is just painfully uncreative and forced.
This? I’m…kinda on the fence. It’s referencing a popular fandom meme in a way that’s not really very subtle, and on top of that, it feels forced. Applebloom randomly breaking out into song over something this insignificant? Wut.
the “twilightlious” vid that tera herself voiced.
The “Licious” series by BlackGryphon
That and tumblr claims we took over a little girls show and ruined it because we forced the writers to do this.
so she does the twilicous song for a few seconds? cool, i love that.
Hell, I’ve seen it used to complain about references to earlier episodes. The term has become almost meaningless.
ah, k.
damn fans are ungrateful as fuck.
Well, “pandering” as seemingly defined by the way I see it used frequently is “reference and/or shout-out that I didn’t like”.
and how is small nods and winks at the fans a bad thing…
yep, S4 will be the season of memes and brony shout-outs.
sad to see FIM turning into spongebob at only the fourth season.
