No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

Are they incapable of distinguishing fanfiction and the actual show? This is pretty much how I feel about the issue, the fanfic exists and im ok with that, but its propogated everywhere you look by people who are apparantly really easily effected by psychological horror you can't avoid these braying morons because they are everywhere if you look for anything even slightly related to pinkie pie u_u I'm not hating on the content of the fanfic even though i dont like it all, just the people who act as if pinkie is some horrible murderer when its so far from true it makes me cringe | ||

It's fine with stuff like Trollestia and Molestia, those are just funny jokes that make everyone laugh. But then you get to people who genuinely believe that Pinkie Pie is some kind of murderer. Ugh. | ||

Those who reference Cupcakes do so because the dynamic is just plain old fun, not out of some bizarre psychological "thing" you've come up with. | ||

Those who reference Cupcakes do so because it's just plain old fun, not out of some bizarre psychological "thing" you've come up with. You obviously haven't read what I'm saying. I'm aware of the fact that it's an in-joke, and that's fine. But there are people who confuse fanon with canon. Types of crappy fanon: >Applebloom being the inbred child of Big Mac and AJ >Scootaloo being the subject of abuse by her parents and Rainbow Dash >Sweetie Belle being Rarity's daughter and abuse victim as well as being a dumbass and having the inability to handle her defecation process >AJ being incompetent in math >Pinkie being a psychopath >Celestia being a tyrant >Rarity being a whore >Pinkie being fat Among others. The above were all fun jokes at first (well, most of them, Sweetie Belle got the worst of all them without being funny, Pinkie being fat was amusing for literally a second, Rarity being a whore never even made sense), but the fanbase blew them out of proportion. You see, Cupcakes is an interesting fic, and an alternate portrayal of Pinkie's character, but there are people who act as if that's what she's really like. It's as if they've forgotten her actual personality and confused it with the psychopathic Pinkie in Cupcakes. I've grown tired of reference because more often than not, the references are from people who are acting like Pinkie is a psychopath in-canon, and they're not joking. | ||

The system has been around since the dawn of the 'Net, and is fully self-correcting; If a meme is no fun, it will die as soon as the initiators/few adopters grow bored with it. Why is the natural order of things so very tempting for some to attempt to tamper with? | ||

The rarity's little problem series and the pics Bleachy belle and Who dat baby daddy? aren't bad. Actually all of his stuff with belle and rarity are pretty nice. PS: Stop taking that stuff so serious  | ||

The natural order of the internet is for people to bitch about things, as I'm doing. Why are you tampering with that? In all seriousness, people usually joke with memes, because they're funny. I'm referring to the people who aren't joking and are for some reason genuinely traumatized by Cupcakes and can't watch the show without thinking about it. If it sounds like I've changed what I'm complaining about, that's probably true. The original thing I was complaining about was that I was sick of hearing about Cupcakes, which I am. There's nothing to argue on that point, if I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it. Arguing that brought me to the reason I was sick of it, and that was because of the people who referenced it like above. The people who have somehow been affected so much that they view the show differently and feel the need to make others know this. EDIT: And I fucking love memes, for the record. | ||

The story wasn't that disgusting... and I don't think anyone who'd get traumatized by somehing like that would read the whole story and if you get sick of hearing about it, just don't read these comments, this is the internet, skipping paragraphs is alot easier than covering your ears irl. | ||

That's a good point. To sum up what I'm saying: People are being annoying and it's making me hate the meme. That's it, basically. | ||

These are all joking comments (I think...), but you'll get the general point. I see this but cranked up to eleven. "Cupcakes ruined Pinkie for me...why did I have to read it >_< " "*cries* WHY DID I WATCH THIS AFTER READING 'CUPCAKES'? " "After reading Cupcakes, this scene terrifies me." "Before reading Cupcakes:LOL!!! After: *shudder*Oh God" Yeah, these are pretty much all joking (I think...), but this was just from searching 'Pinkie Pie' and pulling up that one scene. I'm telling you, I've seen some retarded comments before. Like people asking if Episode 25 was inspired by Cupcakes. | ||

[/QUOTE] That was actually mainly for others, since the stuff posted there really isn't bad and I think most people would enjoy it, the secondary function of it was to lead you to atleast one of the fanfic sides of the characters(I've noticed that watching the show is funnier when you know that stuff, especially because you know that the guys who make the show know it too, since they follow it very closely). PS: If you've seen how high class prostitutes are shown in movies about the 30 you'll know how the rarity is a whore thing came up. | ||
