Feeling pinkie keen is the most controversial FiM episode ever made and it isn't particularly close
>>43313173you are wrong
>>43313176Why? People will argue to death about religion in mlp and there's no stopping it.Which episode do you think it is?
>>43313173This makes it look like the “pinkie sense” is one of those kinds of scams people pull to convince others they are supernatural.
>>43313173Feeling Pinkie Keen is a GOOD EPISODE!
>>43313180most people aren't dumb enough to think the episode is about religion, so it's just a regular ep of a funny kids cartoon to them. most people are, however, modern-brained enough to get much more upset over "over a barrel" just because of the whole natives/settlers thing. for my money, the real answer is "slice of life" because it's a total break in the format and is usually either loved or hated for the many references to the fandom.
>>43313182Feeling pinkie keen, lesson zero and it's about time are a great trilogy of episodes, probably the best in the show.
Dave Polsky isn't a good writer, but he unintentionally made kino with this one.
>>43313173>Feeling Kinkie Peen
A decade later and you dumb stupid retards are still taking about this.Guess that means it worked.
>>43313173First time watching FiM and I hated this episode at first, too. Eventually I grew to like it a bit more after a couple rewatches.
You may not like it, but yes, the lesson was about religion.
>Feeling Pinkie Peen
>Peeling Pinkie Peen
>Feeling Finkie Feen
>Feeling Finkie's Fingie Fup My Fass
>>43314146>Feeling Pinkie's Keen Fingers Up My Ass
>>43313173All it proves is it upsets you and you cant fathom it not upsetting others like it does you.
>Fucking Pinkie Clean
>>43313173Reminds me of Nine Sols' plot.
>>43313173I’m not sure anyone would really care all that much if it wasn’t the peak of the fedora-tipping atheism movement. >I am euphoric
>>43313173Going to Froggy Bottom Bogg and the reveal of the hydra was great. I love that sense of impending yet unknown peril as they race to find Fluttershy. Love seeing niche places that are near Ponyville. Twilight once again playing the role of newcomer-to-town while AJ warns her about Pinkie's Pinkie Sense is a neat Season 1 charm point. And I like how it's an about-town episode and Rainbow Dash and Rarity didn't need to be present, makes it..."homier" I guess?—to have just a handful of them going on their own adventure.The lesson never bothered me when I was younger and I never thought it was explicitly about religion, but I'm warier of astrology/crystal energy/ESP types now. The people who want to feel like they have special powers or are privy to esoteric knowledge who get weird and hostile when you try to rationalize with them. This episode's lesson sounds like it lends credence to such types. Don't know if that was the intent. Was Dave Polsky or Lauren woowoo like that?Maybe it's the way Twilight dictates her Celestiletter:"I am happy to report that I now realize there are wonderful things in this world you just can't explain, but that doesn't necessarily make them any less true. It just means you have to choose to believe in them, and sometimes it takes a friend to show you the way."If it means things that don't make sense to you *now* but may make sense some day, like advanced math or science concepts, then sure. If it means something like, this one girl in your friend group believes she can talk to plants and fairies and you should just believe she can, that's sketchier.
>>43314192It's about spirituality, not about scam artists. Many Anons believe they would be reincarnated in Equestria, and reincarnation isn't possible without souls.
>>43313184>>43313866I don't think its about religion directly, but rather about the acceptance that certain things don't make sense, but are very very real. Now, the reason folk may associate it with religion is because it does rely on you ditching your own individual understanding and accepting that there are forces beyond that pull the strings.The thing is that you can have things you don't fully understand and not have them be super natural. Twilight didn't understand how Pinkie knew, but she eventually got on the same page as everypony else that she had a sense for things. In other words, it can apply for religion, but it doesn't have to. Its more about recognizing that some people may have a hunch or know more about certain things than you do and accepting that, even if you don't fully understand why.
>>43314191Same. I'm very critical of religion (in that I consider religious people dumbfuck cuckolds incapable of intelligent reasoning) but I never saw a problem with this episode.
>>43314192>The people who want to feel like they have special powers or are privy to esoteric knowledge who get weird and hostile when you try to rationalize with them.They're called chuunibyou
>>43314343I'm praying for you without your consent, nigger
God (not muslim) is real and Pinkie Pie is his friend.
>>43313173In the early 2010s nerd culture was loaded with a lot of atheism and "science is fucking AWESOME" culture. In Season 1 and 2 (especially Season 1), Twilight's super logical approach to everything is subversively treated as a form of naivety, as her rigid worldview constantly gets disrupted by friendship - something she isn't used to yet. Usually the happy sentimental optimistic character can be used as the punching bag in more cynical media, so FiM hailing that as worth believing in was really novel and fresh at the time, in my opinion. Thing is though, like I said a lot of online culture at the time was treating science and logic as a silver bullet for all problems. It's something that defined, say, Rick and Morty's general humor, and is something that a lot of people look back on as very "Reddit". This episode dumpstered all of that and even made the super logical character open up at the end, after being used as a Looney Tunes slapstick gag machine the entire time. It's one of my favorites for showing Twi's early rigidity being fully countered by Pinkie's playfulness and thick skin, as well as cuz Pinkie and Twi are just a godlike comedic duo. It's easy to see why it was controversial yeah, but it's no Mare Do Well imo.
>>43314752>Pinkie Pie is his friendWell duh, Pinkie is obviously friends with herself, what did you expect?>Verif not required.
>>43313866I'm disappointed in you Sweetieking. The lesson is clearly not meant to be about anything specific.
Twilight got her revenge when she murdered all of the Pinkie clones.
