Reminds me of those fics where Rarity is a serial killer. That was very good though. Evil sexy lesbian vamponies is kino for sure and I liked the reveal of just a bunch of other canon white unicorns being in on it as well. It definitely makes me wonder though, what about Luna? And Twilight and Cadence? Are they all like real alicorns and Celestia is just some sort of vampony matriarch who ascended at some point? Anyways, I really liked it and the fic did a great job following Sweetie as she uncovered everything and then saved the day. riperino Muguet. And Feathery 'Sniper' Snipper, who was of course right all along. Also surely Celestia knows about Rarity? Or will at least find out soon. And Rarity did the big no-no which maybe makes her ascend like Celestia? idk

>>43310850
>Yeah, it a real gut punch ending. I think it loops back to what you said earlier. She can't go back to her Ponyville life after what she endured. She lost her "ponyness"
yeah definitely, even in the tub she's thinking about how traumatized she is about seeing the 2 dead ponies which is ironic when there's two more dead ponies right next to her

I'm somehow a sixth of the way through https://www.fimfiction.net/story/485500/harry-potter-and-the-prancing-of-ponies . It's pure wish fulfilment. Whenever either of the two main characters hit a setback, they either innovate something that works because the author says so or stomp it by already being overpowered. Whatever happens, every setback knocks them one step back and three steps forward.

I thought you were kidding when you said you were trapped in a HPMOR crossover. I didn't realize it was actually true.

>>43313736
No, but you just reminded me of the fic where all of Equestria suddenly joined a sex cult where having sex is socially equivalent to shaking hands, but Twilight was left out and is traumatized by how everyone is fucking each other all the time.
>>
>>43315937
That feels like it's meant to be a metaphor for something.
>>
>>43315940
I think the message of the story was that social expectations/ taboos around sex fuel its most harmful sides.
That became abundantly clear when fillies got involved and Princess Luna (or Cadance? I don't remember) argued that fillies can consent in a world where sex is completely destigmatized.
>>
>>43315944

You mean lack of taboos fuels its harmful sides?
>>
>>43316071
No.
>>
>>43316071
Other way around.
Putting immense social or emotional weight on sex is what amplifies any emotional consequence when something goes wrong (or even when everything was fine and you got gaslit into thinkingg you've been wronged)

>>43316101
How does that translate into "it's okay to have sex with little kids"

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/584570/3/chaotic-cravings/a-craving-for-comfort

>>43315944
>when fillies got involved and Princess Luna (or Cadance?
I'm getting deja vu. Didn't the thread have a big argument about this? I seem to remember it was Cadance and her pedophilia became like a state-endorsed policy as part of the author's barely disguised fetish. Then Twilight was eventually convinced of the facts and logic of filly fucking.

Have you considered the fact that bettering yourself is inherently a satisfying pursuit? And not just in the long term, where you can look back and feel really good about what you've accomplished, which is, by the way, necessarily a much longer-lasting enjoyment than anything you can get from chasing bursts of dopamine, but also better in the immediate present, knowing that you're on the right path?
That is only looking at the net happiness EV, but of course there are all the other benefits as well.
None of this requires you to be a patriot or a religious man or a commie or an idealist of any specific kind. But if you keep flailing about, you're bound to hit the correct straw man eventually, I'm sure.

You are right. I have never understood the mindset of 'I am just going to stay a loser to get back at society.' Life passes you by.
>>
>>43316860
>just hurt yourself for a nebulous long term benefit
You're going to die eventually. You're increasingly likely to die in a premature and fucked up fashion with the way the world is going. The economy is collapsing, the climate is getting worse, healthcare and research are underfunded, wars keep breaking out, and we approach an energy crisis. All your plans for the future can and will be dashed at a moment's notice. The things you were saving for your retirement will sit abandoned without you ever getting around to them. You will never achieve anything meaningful or long lasting. The idea that suffering is noble is historical cope. You're cutting your short term benefits for long term benefits you won't get to see. You've been brainwashed into being unable to enjoy life just so you can serve people who are above you, while everyone rich enough to be unbound by social obligation is living exactly the way you mock thanks to your efforts in perpetuating the system that keeps them there. You are gaining nothing and merely feeding your delusions.

>where you can look back and feel really good about what you've accomplished, which is, by the way, necessarily a much longer-lasting enjoyment than anything you can get from chasing bursts of dopamine
Meh. As an independent game developer I have what I consider to be an accomplished life and gathered the respect from a loyal fanbase who look forward to my work every single day.
The way we farm happiness in the industry (including myself) is either by looking forward to ship a new project or update to the public, or seeing a feature cleanly implemented in our private repo. It's not the accomplishment itself that rewards us, moreso, the accomplishment opens up a vector of purpose or excitement. I think I can talk for most successful creators that we don't reminisce much on our history and are just looking forward to the next opportunity.

All that said, you can be both very sexually promiscuous and also try to live an accomplished life in ways that have nothing to do with sex, so your argument isn't legitimate outside of the lens of your false dichotomy.

>which is, by the way, necessarily a much longer-lasting enjoyment than anything you can get from chasing bursts of dopamine
Casual sexual relations don't have to be strictly short-term happiness strategies, the fic in question describes how casual intimacy coincides with long-term bonding and heightened sympathy between the ponies.
Also, the pursuit of short-term happiness can coexist with the pursuit of long-term happiness strategies.

The world is in a pretty good place, actually. Half of the stuff you wrote is just untrue, and the other half is outweighed by what we gained. Yeah, you can randomly get cancer and die, but people (in civilized countries) live at minimum 20-30 years longer than they did in somewhat recent past even discounting the infant mortality rate, with better medical care than ever. The economy is unlikely to totally collapse, but if it does, I hope that, due to an inexplicable combination of factors both within my control and outside it, I should be better poised to comfortably sustain myself and hopefully my family even if the situation gets bad. Currently, though, relative buying power and the comfort of life is incredible compared to any other point in history. And so on.
You are right that detailed "long-term plans" are unlikely to materialize. The world moves too fast, and anyone claiming to know where they'll be in 30 years is simply wrong. But what is good is having a sense of direction to act as a guiding principle you can orient yourself with even as stuff changes for better and for worse.

Furthermore, you make a hell lot of assumptions that are just... not true? Like, you say that it's impossible to achieve anything meaningful, and that's literally a skill issue. Yeah, the world doesn't care and never will, but you can and should pursue goals that you consider meaningful. There's a ton to chose from. I've wasted many opportunities, yet I can still confidently claim that I have done some things that I consider meaningful and which continue to be a source of happiness for me even after a great deal of time has passed.

And I guess it's kind of funny to me that as a self-described hedonist you're so quick to write off any path that isn't centered on immediate gain. Yes, you absolutely can enjoy life with the long term in mind. In fact, that's like, the easiest way! I'm not saying you should be miserable in a coal mine 16 hours per day, fasting on just water to achieve true enlightenment. You're still fighting straw men, and I'm not sure why. Do they terrify you so much? But I'll humor your point for a moment. Suppose this is all cope and brainwashing and feeding one's delusions, etc. Why, then, would that be bad from the "enlightened hedonist perspective" if it really does bring short-term happiness?

>>43316920
I wasn't talking about just that fic. I have opinions on it, sure, and they're related, and I don't even disagree with much of your post, but that nest of hornets wasn't something worth disturbing here, I thought, which is why I didn't respond to this discussion until today. When I did, I was primarily speaking against extreme hedonism championed later on in it.
>pursuit of short-term happiness can coexist with the pursuit of long-term happiness strategies
Absolutely, yeah, and that's good, imo. The mindset that I so vehemently disagreed with was the one spawning posts saying that pursuing any long-term happiness is delusional.
