STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY

Is that… would this be classified as Tiamat’s fursona?

Speaking of which, here’s the article in the post. Y’all know what to do.

Twilight Sparkle what have they done to you

EDIT: just looked up picture of thr MLP eye colors and eyelash patterns for comparison. My sincerest apologies, Applejack

You use a graphical environment? Sissy.

I agree with the sentiment but as an autistic person I’d appreciate it if you didn’t use that word

EDIT: downvotes? Come on, lemmy, what gives? If this had been an anti-trans slur you’d have already grabbed your pitchforks!

I won’t dispute that there are some genuinely awful people masquerading as media critics on YouTube nowadays (coughcoughcriticaldrinkercoughnerdrotic), or that there is a chunk of the population who simply tune into their ragebait in search of opinions to plug into their brains. Those “media critics” could be comic book fans. I wouldn’t know, I don’t watch their channels. But if that were the sole driving force, why wasn’t there a conservative outcry when Nick Fury, who was white in some comics and black in others, was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU? I find it difficult to believe conservative talking heads would ever pass up an excuse to complain about something like that if there was any kernel of truth to it.

More importantly, why was there backlash against Ariel from people on the left who did not object to Miles Morales?

Type reboot into an SSH session and play everyone’s favorite game show…

WILL IT ACTUALLY DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

curious what you think that joke is

I’d pull up statistics on movie ticket sales versus comic book sales and point out that the movie outsold the comics by (conservatively) 200 to 1, but there’s no point bringing facts into an argument against a troll.

There aren’t many conservatives on Lemmy. Why bother talking about what they think?

Could this be because people don’t tend to get mad over things they don’t know exist? Naaaaah, must be racism. Anyone who disgagrees that racism is the most likely explanation thinks racism is fake.

What is it with leftists and making mountains out of molehills?

Neither was X11 so it’s in good company

“Personally, I just want to chalk this up to racism so I can be upset about it”

Why?

Better than the reverse, I suppose

Personally I think a large part of the lack of outrage over the first four is that no one who watched the movies had heard of the source material. People who watch Marvel movies don’t tend to read the comics, but Ariel was a Disney movie (one of the most famous of all time) remade as another Disney movie.

please let this happen again i am SO upset i didn’t get to go
