So the yaks will use the train built by the ponies and controlled by the ponies to attempt to invade Equestria. Of course the yaks aren't intelligent enough to build a train so they're using the one built by ponies. Not to mention the total yak population looks like it's smaller than ponyville. So compared to the yaks the ponies have a massive population and economy. Ponies also have magic and flight. And yaks want to declare war on ponies because the ponies tried to make them feel welcome.Why do the ponies put up with these retarded vermin?
>And yaks want to declare war on ponies because the ponies tried to make them feel welcome.You probably should've watched through to the end of the episode.
I hate yaks.
>>43266334Why would anybody watch a full yak episode?
>>43266334I did. What's your point? Is that not a true statement?
>>43266355They interpreted the promises to perfectly replicate their culture which then ended up being imperfect replications as an insult to their society and culture.
>>43266388So they're retarded. Again, why put up with them? What are we gaining out of Yak participation in Equestrian society aside from the ability to fuck Yona?
>>43266476I'm not saying you have to agree with diplomatic relations with yaks being a good thing, I'm just saying the episode is very straightforward. Twilight assumes that yaks would like it if their visit felt like home, it turns out yaks don't like that after all.
>>43266494And they display that discontent through vandalism and destruction of property. Definitely the standard of behavior we want more of in Equestria.
>>43266502I don't really give a shit about that, I just found it silly that you somehow missed the moral of the episode.
>>43266507Oh, I didn't miss it. The moral is, when a race hates you and your country, you should cater to their every whim and desire, and never punish them for breaking your laws or harming your people.
>>43266513The moral is 'don't make assumptions about what other people like'. You are less capable of understanding an episode of a TV show than its intended audience, doesn't that concern you?
>>43266514Congratulations, you can't read subtext.
>>43266519I don't invent subtext, I can read it just fine.>>43266523I sure hope not.
>>43266333Yaks are cool.
The target audience HATED the yaks
>>43266646Yeah but Josh Haber liked them and in this household we kneel and pray for Josh Haber so it gets in.
>>43266333ponies have unicorn that can use a artillery spell to blow up yaks into pieces
Trying to appropriate a lesser culture than your own is bad. It would be like Rome at the peak of their glory trying to act like sub saharan africans to appease some wayward traders and dysgenic visitors to their empire. Theres no dignity in it. Yak culture is objectively shit. But the ponies did it in good faith. They mean 0 harm to any of the yaks who want to declare war on a race that could in all likelihood just sick Discord on them and be done with it. The fact that even past this episode many ponies comment on how smelly and ugly yaks are is still funny.
>>43267240Something something present day Europe
>>43267727What does this have to do with ponies?
>>43268451Everything if you know how to draw parallels.
>>43266333YAKS ARE UGLY! KILL ALL YAKS! TOTAL YAK DEATH! GENOCIDE YAKS! DECLARE WAR ON YAKS AND KILL THEM ALL! FUCK PRINCE RUTHERFORD! FUCK YONA! FUCK DISGUSTING UGLY YAKS! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL!
>>43268564Make peace with Yak. Love Yak. Kiss Yak.
