Do you ever feel like we're overhyping ourselves for Equestria? Like, when we finally make it (TM), it wouldn't magically fix all our problems?
Don't get me wrong, from every possible angle, it looks like a wonderful place, but the rose-tinted fantasy glasses might not hold up when you're actually living it. Like vacationing somewhere versus moving there.

Sure as hell beats whatever is going on in the modern world, plus I get to use magic with my unicorn horn? Any time of the day, bro!
>>
>>43239896
It'd be objectively better than whatever any anon has going on right now.

>Get to be turned into a pony.
>Enjoying a life full of magic and friendly ponies
>The world is far less busy and even a lifestyle as a worker pony gives you a purpose and a fullfilment
>friendship and love are actual magical powers

It feels life a better life than many , even “wars” are mostly just squabble between other races which ends by throwing pies at each others. (Unless we are talking about changelings under Chrysalis).
The only problems involves evil overlords like the previously referenced bug trying to overtake it, and failing under the weight of friendship and love.

And of course if the canon timeline is Gen 5, in that case you are pretty screwed like the whole setting


Am i the only one who feels bad for the Cake Family? They probably got screwed over the most considering earth pony parenting a unicorn and a pegasus

I'm well aware that my mental issues won't magically resolve themselves if I'm in Equestria, and that the lack of modern amenities would likely cause some serious problems for me. I'd personally prefer to be able to visit Equestria while still living here but if that's not on the table then Equestria it is.

I don't want to be a pony because I don't deserve to be a superior being. It's like painting a nigger white, it doesn't actually change you for the better.
But mares will fuck me anyway (I will always submit to their desires as an inferior being I am).

That seems very presumptuous of you.
>>
>>43240090
I sincerely believe everyone gets their own Equestria.
Those who want featureless get to enjoy oral only after they die, those who enjoy herds enjoy getting their many marewives, those who fap to 3d anthro get railed by them, and so on.
>>
>>43240097
Fair enough! I personally find the idea that all my desires will be automatically fulfilled just by getting to Equestria ironically very unfulfilling.

>I sincerely believe everyone gets their own Equestria.
I hope that isn't true.

You sound like a woman t(o)b(eabitc)h.
>>43240103
You're not sharing your Equestria with those people anyway.

>You're not sharing your Equestria with those people anyway.
It's not about me being happy. It's about them suffering.
>>
>>43240111
>You sound like a woman t(o)b(eabitc)h.
I don't see how. I want to put in real effort to make it in Equestria rather than having it fit me perfectly from the start, that's not particularly feminine.
>>
>>43239896
Well, look at it this way.
When you get to Equestria, you will still be an asshole.
There is still no practical way to fix that.
>>
>>43240151
Depends on what Equestria's like. It's possible that several episodes dedicated to making anon less of an asshole will help! It's also possible that he'd by the equivalent of a background character that everyone just kinda avoids.

Most of our problems stem from modernity, anyway. Equestria is a non-industrial society.
>>
>>43239896
It's the other way around: the core promise of fantasy lands is giving you problems worth solving to solve. Because problems IRL are always either not problems at all or completely intractable, nothing in between.

I'll have my wife, kids, and none of you faggots running around with your shit taste and that's all I need.

Short answer: no, I don't think we are hyping it.

Long answer: Equestria has a lot of thing going for it, including:

- Magic
- A high trust society
- Relative peace and stability
- Prosperity
- Good governance
- A general alignment with being harmonious with one another

I think all of these benefits would make everyones quaity of life better for most ponies. The only real down side would be the odd world altering God like Discord making a mockery of the place, but other than that, its a pretty cool place to live and form some meaningful connections.

Sure, maybe we wouldn't have access to things like the internet, vidya, and other conforts that we have become acustomed to, but I think its a fair trade.

If I missed anything, please let me know, faggots.

Nothing a bit of human ingenuity can't fix.

Its a cartoon you idiot

>>43240102
Then your fantasy is to have issues in Equestria. There's no wrong way to fantasize.

But I question if that's what's really going on here, or if you simply are stopping faith.
>>
>>43240169
No. We were hacking each other apart for millenia before shooting each other. The problem isn't the tools used. It is us.
>>
>>43241870
>There's no wrong way to fantasize
Yes there is. If I don't personally like your fantasy, it's wrong.
>>
>>43241050

I would actually get shit done. The internet is a curse and a blessing. Without it I really think I would have more hobbies and personal connection. And so would others.

T. Genx who remembers pre internet life where you and friends went out, had hobbies, etc.

U ghey

Sounds lame.

Oh, ok I don't wanna go now then
