Ditching the digits

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics.

Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt.

Things that need to get off of my plurk right now:

-Derpy Hooves
-That Dante guy

I wish there was a plurk savior akin to tumblr savior.

Is Derpy Hooves the autistic pony

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
no, she has an actual physical condition which is why all the sjw are rabble-rousing about it

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
so she's the downs pony

got it

(Anonymous) 2012-02-28 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
n...o, she doesn't. she's ditzy. like her original name. just clumsy and silly. the name came from people going "woah what's up with her eyes? she's kind of derpy!"

think of her as a stereotypical blonde. SHE HAS NO ACTUAL DEBILITATING CONDITION.

the dante thing embarrasses me and mlp is just shit

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
dante guy?

+1

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have plurk so I have no clue what this is referring to.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Dante Basco was the voice of Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Apparently he mentioned that he's reading Homestuck and for some reason this is A VERY BIG DEAL.

(I have no clue why, as I don't read Homestuck, so)

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
because he was rufio in hook and andrew makes out with rufio in the comic

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
an actor frequently mentioned in Homestuck is now reading Homestuck

Andrew Hussie updated the website to say "hello Dante"

cue every Homestuck fan on plurk spazzing out over it and posting the same screencap over and over

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Could someone please explain to me why it's such a fucking big deal that Dante Basco is reading Homestuck, anyway? I'm not in the fandom, so it baffles me why people care so much.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
because he's the actor of a character who's mentioned several times in the comic

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, and now I am enlightened, ty anon.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god i'm so sick of hearing about that pony

one of my friends is SO SUPER OFFENDED that they cut the word and keeps posting "one last thing" about what a terrible horrible thing this is, a blow to righteousness and truth, how everything is lost because they changed a my little pony's name.

it's so stupid that it's not even worth getting mad about, but i still want to punch my monitor every time i see her go "ONE LAST THING!!".

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
this

I think getting offended over the word "derp" is stupid as fuck but the reactions to the name change of a goddamn pony on a kid's show are baffling

people are acting like their lives are ruined over it

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
i can't believe people are surprised by it. did they seriously think hasbro was going to look at all the controversy and NOT change it?

i have no opinion on the matter, i'm just fucking sick of hearing about how ~betrayed~ everyone is and how the show is ruined forever.

although i kind of hope this will spawn another slew of outraged bronies writing petitions and letters to hasbro and faust while using terms like "everypony" and "princess lauren" and "your faithful student", because that was hilarious.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
They didn't even change her name.

They just made it so that nobody says her name. They changed her voice and her eyes.

People are sending death threats to that one animator and threatening to bomb Hasbro over Derpy Hooves, who is just a stupid fancharacter that somehow achieved a cult following.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
clearly they are on the side of good

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
ugh

this sort of shit just means that people will stay as far away as possible from including characters with disabilities or other things for fear of people reacting hatefully or going over the edge and doing something violent

good job, fuckheads, not only are you overreacting to something totally harmless and pointless, you just make it harder if not completely impossible for proper inclusion to happen, too

good

fucking

job

Yamino? She's not an animator, she's just a fan that became a target of hate somehow.

...unless someone else is ALSO getting death threats.

Read "ONE LAST THING!!" in Uncle's voice from Jackie Chan Adventures. That should make it better.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-27 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
i love dante as much as the next kid who grew up with a bad boy crush on rufio but i will never forgive him for this.

he hasn't learned not to underestimate homestuck fandom yet.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-28 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
sisbro, dante probably has no fucking idea what he's getting into

forgive him? he's the victim here
