God, Spike’s fans from before were very dramatic

@Beau Skunky  
It’s faster and easier to let anyone know with an “I were sarcastic” whenever you’re being sarcastic than reading previous comments.
 
Still, as I said, those who are playing sarcastic in the comments could be having their fingers crossed behind their backs.

@MurtaughTheDragon  
My comments before, and after it should’ve made it obvious. Read all the comments before you guys jump to conclusions about somebody.

@Beau Skunky  
Next time, leave an “I were sarcastic,” at least.
 
Unless those who are playing sarcastic in the comments could be having their fingers crossed behind their backs. I’m just sayin’.

@MurtaughTheDragon  
I was being “sarcastic.” Look at my other comments.
 
I was actually mocking the overzealous “Spike Justice Warriors” whom get mad if he does anything comical.

@Background Pony #B3CB  
Because, you know what/how Spike-fans are like… :/

@Beau Skunky  

 
AJ’s one of the Elements of Harmony, one of the main characters for the show, a close friend to Twilight like the rest of Mane Six… and you’re threatening her for just “tapping” a goofy little baby-dragon? You know he deserved it.

@Beau Skunky  
Oh I just thought that this was a silly pic, didn’t realize the artist was crazy about spike abuse. I know the scene in question and I find this funny.

@Dannyson97  
Apparently… This same artist also draws hate-pics of the writers for “picking on Spike,” and apparently also pesters them on Twitter to stop “abusing Spike.”
 
Yet, apparently abuse against Applejack, and the writers’ pony forms is ok?

Do people really lack a sense of humor that this is called abuse?

This is the “offensive” scene in question…
 

 
Wow, Applejack should get the death penalty for that light tap on the back of the head! How dare she barely lay a hoof on Spike like that!

fluttershy is probably going to get an applebuck in the face later

Not sure if this needs a “Spikeabuse” tag, seems more like “applebuse” to me.

As much as I like AJ, this needed to happen.
 
Well done.

It wasn’t a slap, AJ was just letting him know he was being tactless.

Yeah, because totally didn’t earn it… wow, some people are really ridiculous.

@Beau Skunky  
The site seems to be funny about letting you remove tags you just added. When it does that you can try going somewhere else and coming back or refreshing the page or something else like that. (As far as the tag itself goes, I think this is the only instance where AJ lays down the moral law on our beloved dragon. But I could be wrong.)

@Background Pony #1246  
Yeah, admittedly it made me chuckle, he was just making the situation worse. Plus it was just a “tap,” not a “slap” like this implies.
 
Oddly, this thing won’t let me remove the “Twilight’s Kingdom” tag, (after I added it) I was going to remove it ‘cause I wasn’t sure if the artist was referencing that ep’, or a different one. (Though, I can’t think of any others where Applejack layed a hoof on Spike.)

I don’t know, he kind of earned that one.

@Background Pony #372C  
Yeah, lava can’t even hurt that kid… If this artist is angry over that li’l “tap” when Spike was being tactless to Twilight at the beginning of the S4 finale, the it wasn’t even that big a deal, or that hard a hit. So this seems like “disproportionate retribution.”
 
But of course, this isn’t the first time a fan has overreacted to such a minor event… Some are amazingly overly-protective of Spike, and keep accusing the writers of hating him…
 
Heck, Ian Flynn writer of the official Sonic comics, says he gets accused of hating every Sonic character.

Well, this artist is clearly a hypocrite, if he thinks the response to “abuse” (which the scene wasn’t in the slightest) is ACTUAL physical abuse.

When did she?..

This hurt Aj as much as she did Spike.

Oh please it was just a tiny bonk on the head. Remember Spike is a goddamn dragon.
