Our Little Pony

[Geo Da Sponge]

I have the sneaking suspicion that many convention places are being rapidly booked due to misconceptions about forceful MLP themed foursomes.

Someone wasn't invited to the Braeburned after-party orgy.

Edit: I really hope no one has any clue what I'm talking about.

Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about.

I'm on to you! And since I just indicated that I also know what you're talking about, I guess you're on to me as well. Oh dear...

Okay don't panic. No one else has to know about this. As long as we don't say anything else this can hopefully just be swept under the rug somewhere. After all, what happens in room 403 stays in room 403.

Shit.

I want girls to hit on me like that ;_;

Me too, Zip. Me too. *snf*

Also, it's great to see you someplace other than GamePolitics. I'm a long-time lurker and haven't signed on in a long while, but I still visit to keep up with current events and people's reactions to some things.

OT: I'm not sure whether this is sarcasm (most likely) or reality (it'd be surprising if it was), and whether to be offended or excited... I mean, I know there's a statement about the treatment of women/"girl gamers" in here somewhere; the parody and sarcasm just feel so heavy, it just feels as if this conversation was just played straight...And if that's the case, then it truly is weird...

I has confusion. 8S

Ima ranting/posting daily on facebook, rarely on google plus, on Deviant art , soemtiems lurking/posting in the gamecritics forums.

I am pretty much zippy everywhere just so I can remember who I am even if I forget which subject I am posting on. LOL

As for this comic its come from a few different directions, its just so fun when you let your imagination run with it.

Edit: Derp

 

[thisbymaster]

How much do I have to pay for this kind of treatment?

 

[Harbinger_]

What frustrates me is that if a guy receives unwanted sexual advances people say that they have no right to complain and should be thankful a woman acts like that to them. I'm at least glad that some people on this forum realize that sexual harassment is just that.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Making a comic about sexism in gaming/geek culture and combining it with MLP is the most genius thing about all this.
Question:
How do you get more views and comments than normal?

 

[itsthesheppy]

Can I just say that it's truly amazing how many people don't seem to get the joke? At all?

 

[BRex21]

Oh haha, I get it, its so funny because men never get sexually harassed or assaulted. You see because women are incapable of behaving that way. It's SOOOOO funny to reverse the genders because its not like when a man is harassed or assaulted he is ridiculed for not enjoying it, Its not like even serious sexual assaults against men are more often than not almost completely ignored, yet the mere insinuation that anyone might find women who go to a convention in skimpy attire for the sole purpose of an ego boost annoying is simply some petty little tit at best and some sort of rape apologizing misogynist at worst.

 

[Contradiction]

I have to admit when I saw it in the latest banner I was kinda taken aback.
Not really a pony fan and when people do pony for its own sake the comedy runs dry BUT

Loved it, the byline, the paragraph, all of it, hilarious shit keep it up.

I do love it when they do comics like this, subtle as a claw hammer and pure gold in the comment threads.

Don't think they've topped the Retake Mass Effect comic yet, though.

 

[Pinkamena]

I find this comic very unrealistic. Not enough stranded whales.

 

[Atomic]

I have a question semi related to the message in this comic.
So aside the hilarious irony, I saw this today just after agreeing to go to a convention with a girl I like (for obvious reasons) and I despise the show. It's colorful, bland and cheery characters makes me hate my fellow man more than usual.
Is this right? Do any bronies here find this reprehensible?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wow, I'm glad I'm not a brony and I don't attend conventions. Also double standard much.

 

[Eri]

Nobody gets to decide whether or not someone is `geeky enough` to be there or not.

Why do you get to decide who gets to decide then? I don't really think that's a defensible position.

I'm not making any claims about the topic at hand, just asking a question.

 

[JayBlanc]

Oh dear god the amount of people commenting who failed to get the REALLY OBVIOUS POINT.
I wonder what would happen if someone posted "A Modest Proposal" to the Escapist...

 

[Atomic]

My apologies.
I was asking if bronies and fans of MLP find it insulting that someone would go to an MLP convention when they have no interest in the show and actively hate MLP.

More of a heckle than a question, but fair enough.
I didn't say `I get to decide` I said `nobody does`, because no one can know all other people's reasons for being there and nobody should have to justify themselves for something like that.
I envision a world where people go to cons for their own damn reasons and nobody bitches about it.

If you're hanging around being cold and distant,or being actively abusive and hateful, you're not going to impress the girl you're going with. It's usually pretty obvious to everyone else when someone is stuck somewhere they don't want to be.

Have you actually watched any of the show?

 

[Danglybits]

While I have heard people speculate that bronies don't really like the show

I can say with 100% certainty that those people have no idea what they're talking about. At all.

Gonna have to agree.(can't stop looking at your avatar... But then wasn't that the point of the comic?
It's not genderflipped for Brony con; the harassment and tone is flipped for other kinds of cons though. "She doesn't really like X-men she's just here for the attention and male approval."

The point is that no one, not bronies, not women, not any minority of any kind ever "knows better" and will pull the same kind of crap that they deal with if they can.
