I'm a very violent sleeper, have been my whole life and I.....I tore my waifu's mane off...It was actually like 3 weeks ago but I haven't re sewn it yet because I'm in the middle of moving and my needles and thread are like boxes and boxes deep Celestia knows where I still feel pretty bad even now, even knowing I'll make it right as soon as possible.I'll have to buy her some chocolate
I've realized that I've been using stereotypes and old school heuristics to try and understand 4chan culture for awhile. Ever since I started using the site. But the reality is that 4chan isn't like what I thought it was, not at any time. My idea of what 4chan is, is more like the Sharty.I'd post there... But those guys are out to get people and doxx them. No way jose.This is stressing me out because it's not the underground dive bar of the internet I thought it was. Or maybe it kind of is like that.
Rolled 8 (1d10)I roll to dab on you nerds
>>43221322The CMC episodes are some of the best desu
>>43221496Agreed! I adore them, I get why people used to be annoyed by their episodes but I don't relate at all to that feeling.
>>43221484Have you considered that dive bars themselves aren't what they're talked up to be?
>POGGERS!>POGGERS!>POGGERS!
>>43221233More like Jumbo HON.
>>43221484the /b/ shit was always just there to filter normies from the secret anime club
>>43221496>>43221507Seconded. Luv me CMC
>>43221584Not really, early 4chan's reputation was for people who wanted to be goons but couldn't :10bux: so a lot of people were coming here to partake in the casual cruelty that was common on SA. After a few years though 4chan massively eclipsed SA in relevancy and people began to think of 4chan as this uniquely cruel place rather than just a natural evolution of the forum culture it came from.
>>43221484>This is stressing me out because it's not the underground dive bar of the internet I thought it was.I would say it used to be like that.One thing I loved about the early days of 4chan was that the internet itself was genuinely still a "nerdy" thing. Sure it was being popularized by AOL but for most people it was still just for email, news, and maybe "myspace".You can tell by the humor, just look at how much early 4chan humor was literally about the internet itself: "lol internet", "you win 9000 internets", or "don't worry, I'm from the internet"Because the internet WAS a joke. The idea that literally anything posted on the internet could have any actual significance was hilarious to people back then. So nobody was actually trying that hard to "win" internet arguments and gatekeeping was fairly minimal (mostly just to filter normalfags, but these days people try to gatekeep literally everything they don't like).I also think the meaning of "normalfag" was twisted over time. It really had nothing to do with being normal, it was about those people who wanted to merge the internet world with the "normal" real world. It didn't matter how strange of a person you were, if you were posting online with your real name and photo and blogging about your day you were still a normalfag.Some people look back at the gatekeeping stuff and mistakenly think that was the pinnacle of that culture. From what little I know about Sharty that seems to be their philosophy and I would say they're mistaken. Although you're probably not wrong that modern 4chan has become more like that as well.Oddly enough this is actually why I still come to /mlp/. Because for some odd reason /mlp/ is probably closer to the way old 4chan used to feel than any other board. I really don't know why that is.Maybe because the almost universal rejection of male enjoyers of pastel colored ponies creates a natural tendency to separate things that happen here from ones real world identity. I love how "Anon" as an actual character is still alive an well on /mlp/ but you hardly ever see it on other boards.
Good Marening, East Coast
>>43221751How do I tell this pony her tail is further forwards than it should be?
>>43221759Probably a genetic variation/defect.Just put a bowtie on it and don't mention it.
>>43221751Uh actually she should have three rings on her horn so this is actually a bad post like literally cringe
>>43221831>she should have three rings on her hornwrong. she should have one spiral, which she does.
how hard is it to learn magic? rarity only ever seems to cast levitate.
>>43221841You are wrong, stalker child, enjoy prison
>>43221844Rarity only seems to learn magic relating to her special talent, stuff like gem finding and levitation for sewing. Trixie can't even see the apple, so to speak. Which is why Twilight knowing all these different kinds of magic makes her special, she's just innately tuned to learning that stuff. Then Starlight came along and ruined that whole thing.
>>43221981well, I would assume most of the students from her canterlot magic classes are fairly skilled, but yes magic is her special talent so of course she's good at it
>>43221981There can be more than one mage in the world, retard. There are magic schools full of them. Dash isn't the only talented flyer, there are the wonderbolts. Pinkie isn't the only party planner, there's Cheese. Equestria has no mystical arbitrary limit on the amount of skilled mages, vets, dressmakers and such.
>>43221316Remember when Hasjew tried to make its own ayylmao Tomoko and failed spectacularly?
>>43221844Levitation seems to be more or less hands as far as unicorns are concerned.With that much convenience, how much more magic do you really need?
>>43222138Wallflower is far from unpopular among barbiebrowns.My opinion? She's cute as a mare.
>>43222174>how much more magic do you really need?I'd appreciate knowing a concentrated flame spell so I can burn the liquid shit my stupid earth pony slaves get all over toilet since it's too hard to wipe your ass without magic apparently.
>>43222189so is your mom
>>43222192What's with your obsessions with Anons' moms? Are you an underage Russian Dota 2 player from 2013? Can you take me back in time please?
>>43222200im here for someone to give me a quick suck and all I have are all of /mlp/ anon's moms to do it
>>43222210I have bad news, anon: you're on the internet, nobody can suck your dick through the internet. I hope this information doesn't hurt you too badly.
>>43222271umm... you're wrong by reading this you just have sucked my cock and then hopped onto big mac's cock.
>>43222275Wow, I get up to a lot when I'm not paying attention I guess.
>>43222174>>43221981my headcanon is that unicorns are basically crippled by their overreliance on levitation. if you cast some silence spell on them or broke their horn like tempest shadow they wouldn't be able to pick up anything the way earth ponies and pegasi do, at least not as easily, since their hoof-eye-mouth coordination is completely untrained.
>>43221264i don't know, anon. she looks pretty cold in picrel.
>>43222305They can mouth-grab but they don't learn to use the inherent magic in their hooves and tails to grab stuff like other ponies do.
G5 becomes even more interesting, a unicorn like izzy has done fine crafts work her whole life without access to magic, and she'd probably continue to rely on her motor skills more than magic out of habit. but the younger generation of unicorns might go back to losing their dexterity as they age.of course, in the actual show unicorn magic is a godsend for animators since it's a billion times easier to animate stuff floating around than it is to animate the various gymnastic contortions needed to plausibly hold stuff with hooves and mouth, even if you do fall back on magnetic hooves or slightly-out-of-frame as shortcuts.
>>43222314>>43222325on the other hand I do notice they use magic less casually in the earlier episodes of the show, with twilight specifically often carrying things on her back or moving them with heir mouth when she doesn't have to use magic, implying it's maybe some effort to do the magic compared to just doing it manually.
>>43222333They could never really decide how difficult it was to use telekinesis. I think they liked having ponies carry things in pony ways because that helps sell the pony fantasy but so many scenes just become far easier to animate when you let yourself use magic.
>>43221670>but these days people try to gatekeep literally everything they don't likeThis is a good thing
Rude.
>>43222361Assless mares are still mares!!!
>>43222365Luna has more ass than G5 mares do.
>>43222365Don't you dare talk about my wife's ass like that
I like mares with tiny firm butts and delicious flat teats.
>>43222361Oh my...
I go to pony cons and meet with friends, but by the end of it all I feel like a miserable person who has no real friends and just extremely lonely. By the time I get back home everything feels so hopeless. This whole show is about friendship and I seem hopeless at it.
>>43223666Going out with work or church acquaintances makes me feel the same (unless I have enough alcohol to sleep through the feeling till the next day).But really, quitting wanking helped me stop being depressed furfag. Watching G1 MLP and reading the comics makes me feel better.
>>43223808How is quitting that going to help with anything at all? I've never had any sort of gf or relationship or anything to make up for not wanking.
>>43223666I have the same problem, Satan. I don't know if the same applies to you, but for me it's a persistent recontextualisation of social events that happens entirely in my head after the fact. After a perfectly adequate social interaction, I start down this path of historical revisionism, convincing myself I did nothing but fuck up constantly, reinforcing the feeling that I should never interact with anyone again, that I'm an unlikeable retard, etc etc. Like instead of learning from social interaction or just experiencing then forgetting about it, I misfire into chastising myself for shit that basically didn't even happen, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.I don't really know of a way to stop it, if your experience is similar. I think the origin of mine is from being a REALLY fucking socially retarded kid/teenager, and only growing a single fucking clue as an adult, so all my defence systems are built around assumed rejection.Just know that the fact you care about this means you're definitely not the worst one there even if you really are a bit socially retarded. And when I say "there" I don't just mean at brony cons, because I don't think anyone with a functioning brain could be the WORST one there, I mean in general. People probably think you're alright, but a little reticent or closed off. I'm not gonna tell you to open up because that's probably not who you are; what I'm gonna say is maybe try the possibility that people like being around you, but get a vibe off you that you subtly don't want to be around them (the vibe difference given off between "I don't want to be around you" and "I think you don't want to be around me" is subtle at best).I promise, if you're thinking about it like this, ironically that means you have a chance because it indicates you are likely a thoughtful person. The difficult part for you will be expressing that to others, especially if you feel like you shouldn't or don't deserve to.But I'm just guessing from like two sentences you wrote
>>43223838Yeah I do a lot of the things you describe. But I really don't know, I'm always getting the sense that the people I want to be around don't want me around. Are they only being polite when they talk to me but actually want me to go away? I can't fucking tell but they always seem to have an excuse to go off somewhere.
>>43223854Absolutely no idea famazoid. I guess all I can say is don't make time for people who don't make time for you, even if you'd want them to. If no one ever does... then you've still got us! <|:^)
>>43221507>>43221612They're nice, low-stakes side adventures with characters about as clueless of the world as the viewer. I always find their antics and personalities really endearing, especially when they lay out a clear solution to their problem and still find some other way that ends up working out for them.
I like Sunny.I like her movie.I like her friends.
>>43224044Shame about her serieseseses
>>43224098>seriesesesesthat is not a real word
>>43224135Yes it is, silly!
G5 has no real fans, more than half the posts about how good it is are bait.
>>43224225there are constant threads about G5 characters.
>>43224225Most posts defending it: "ummm the movie was good that means G5 is great stop hating it chuddy!"They don't defend the actual dogshit parts of it, which is the entirety of G% post-ANG.
>>43224225this but g4
>>43224225this but >>43224234's mom
Why is G5 constantly on people's minds?
>>43224239It's the most recent MLP content.
>>43223838>>43223854> I'm always getting the sense that the people I want to be around don't want me around. Are they only being polite when they talk to me but actually want me to go away?Yeah I have this feeling too, it’s very confusing when I think about my social interactions because nobody is direct, it’s all a game of guessing and it drives me mad sometimes. Maybe it’s a problem of expecting too much from a social interaction? I dunno, I was always the quiet-ish kid getting into trouble at school.
>>43224239because it has so much potential.
>>43223838>>43224244I have this thing where people just forget about me. they'll promise me stuff then never do it, when I ask about it they don't remember.I say things, they don't remember it.it's like I project some kind of memory-erasing field or something.I don't know, I stopped trying to connect with people a long time ago because of that. being forgotten about is an extremely shitty feeling.
>>43223666I sperged out at neighcon if it’s any consolation, as much as it’s worth it to be liked there’s 5 or so people there that will be attracting everyone’s ire no matter what. Nobody cared at all and I think they expected it. Most people there are so focused on not being cringe that they don’t even notice you spilling your spaghetti all over the place. We were also all VERY drunk so you have a major excuse. Don’t let people who won’t remember you exist ruin your fun time.
>>43224246Emphasis on potential.It wasn't actually good at all, it just exists.
>>43224281enough of it that was good exists to make people like it
>>43224285Out of spite, sure.
>>43224288cope
