She commented earlier today about how funny the RNC thing was. Why is she acting like she suddenly has no clue why people think MLP trending (it being tied into American politics) is weird and OBVIOUSLY a result of someone hating women?

Is she rusing us or did she forget what she said less than twelve hours ago?

Lauren's always been a little salty. This is nothing out of the ordinary. She has an ideology that's really important to her, and sometimes she gets bent out of shape when it seems like someone's making light of the things she cares about.

What matters is that she's a good person on a fundamental level. She's not always the most tactful, but her heart's in the right place.

Sometimes she's full of shit, but it doesn't negate the much more frequent times that she isn't.
>>
I lost my respect for Lauren Faust not from the tweets where she's just obviously drinking the koolaid from feminist pop culture sites, but from this convention video, 23 minutes in:

https://youtu.be/iWuZ366JFZ8?t=1379

It's so disrespectful to not only the fans of MLP but to the staff that makes it. She's just begging for attention and validation from the crowd while simultaneously putting them down for daring to enjoy a show she's no longer part of.

>>27939153
This was in no way discrediting the current show, she simply implied a difference in production (which there is) This was her daring to voice how she's been feeling and attempting to get some resolution for herself. Mlp was slowly taken from her and the fanbase remains watching. I'm not saying to keep enjoying it is a bad thing, ofcourse it's not, I'm saying to try to look at it from her perspective and have some empathy. This moment didn't come from selfish desire, it came from being hurt and wanting someone to care.

It's actually really sad seeing Faust get more and more into this.

The earliest one I remember is when she supported the hate for that Scientist who landed on the comet who had a shirt with bikini women on it.

It's depressing because she has had an encounter with horrible journalism before, pic related. These sites don't give a shit about anything more than making money on ridiculous claims.

Faust herself defended the show from the article.

msmagazine.com/blog/2010/12/24/my-little-non-homophobic-non-racist-non-smart-shaming-pony-a-rebuttal/

Anyone can find out that modern journalism is complete horseshit just by looking at an article you know something about. There will be huge inaccuracies and things left out in every aspect. Why trust any other articles by any related sites if you can clearly see that ones you have knowledge about are complete shit?

Admittedly, I was one of those people who thought the show would be at a better direction than it is now if she was still around, but looking at her past content, I don't think so anymore.

Your statement "whah stop liking things after I've left them" is in fact oversimplified. She wasn't telling people to stop liking the show and she wasn't whining. Again, it was simply an honest statement and confession of feeling. Are you really so dense you can't understand the context in which she was speaking? I'm also not using oversimplification as some kind of crutch if that's what you're saying, you just literally did oversimplify.

Just because Hasbro made some restrictions does not mean it was taken from her, she left on her own accord just like she did with Medusa, because it was obvious these companies don't like her ideas, and she don't like the fact they decided to discard it and have no more ideas for the content. I am am 100% sure there are other things the current writers have ideas for the show as well, but Hasbro won't allow it, so I guess they're doing the same to them too, huh?

That's not what she said, though. Read the pic in >>27940098, from what she said MLP was probably one of her jobs where she had the most creative input. She left because she couldn't handle the schedule. Now I'm not saying it's good that Hasbro is running such a tight schedule, but it's very different from limiting creative input.

>>27940154
Don't ask me, ask her. Probably because she didn't want to be petty, it's common usage to not shit on your employer when you leave. Of course you could also speculate that she wanted people to think she left because of creative restriction because she didn't want to look weak or something, but I don't think that's the case, I rather believe the stuff she was going through with the miscarriage and all that just left her a bit too stressed to give proper assessments. Although if she continues to go towards the deep end like right now on Twitter, I might review my position.
>>
>>27940200
I understand what you mean, inherently a tight schedule can limit creative input though. As far as just how much of her original vision for each episode was limited, I can only assume.

So what, I'm supposed to believe the reason she left Medusa and her other projects was due to the same thing? I don't know if I should take her word for it because it sounds far fetched. But if it IS true, she would know how much responsibility she has when she's the director of a show or movie. I can't say how stressful it can be because I never been in her position, but I can empathize.
>>
>>27940250

Yeah, but that's different than actually limiting the creative decisions pre-emptively. And all the other showrunners on MLP were capable of dealing with the schedules just fine.

>>27940252
>So what, I'm supposed to believe the reason she left Medusa and her other projects was due to the same thing
Uh, no, I didn't say that. As far as I know, she clearly said that for Medusa it was for creative reasons, whereas for MLP, she was always vague and kind of avoided the question, but when she finally said something clear about the matter, it was >>27940098.

This is true, I just wish exact quotes from executivea to her or the other way around were more clear and appearance. now we're getting into detaila about exactly who said what when that are crucial for determinative evidence when determining the exact scenario but are lacking due to confidentiality. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever have access to the details necessary to assume ultimately the deciding factors in lauens leave. For now all I can really say is that if she had things her way she would still be on mlp, which can be said for anyone so it's not very helpful...

Ghostbusters reboot is literally a controversial film on its own, and the previous thread was talked about because she wanted people to watch it because it stars women, regardless of quality.

Yeah well, exact quotes are unlikely to ever appear since that's private between Faust and Hasbro, and it's common usage to not go into great detail about why someone left a company or was let go unless a serious controversy or court case is involved.

>if she had things her way she would still be on mlp
Well, she seems to have had things her pretty damn well, just that the schedule was too tight. But I get what you're saying, if she had control of the schedule, she would've made it less demanding. However, everyone would like to loosen schedules and sometimes, you have to deal with it.
I assume that the pregnancy and miscarriage probably played a part in why she couldn't deal with the stress. She would probably have made at least a pause anyways had she given birth.

What happened to nice, playful /co/ lurking Faust?
The Faust that was mature about things she didn't like, the Faust that would defend against pointless accusations with logic and reason.
I want that Faust back.

It really is true, feminism poisons everything.
Feminists made her change her views on Equal Fights
Feminism corrupted her into the shirt-hating, Twitter instigating, horrible cunt monger that she is.

Somewhere in there though there has to still be a light.
Somewhere somehow the light needs to be sparked.

Not completely no but she was never this bad.

>>
>>27940436
When Faust was just a "harmless" feminist, she still was attacked for being a feminist. Not as much as now, but even then some people called her "sjw cunt". If you're being attacked for being something you really aren't, it's not unusual to become exactly what they're calling you to fight them back. Is that stupid? Definitely. But blame it on the fuckers that thought that her being "a little" feminist was too much, they caused this.

Because here's the sad part. It's NOT her work. She got it started, but still fights tooth and nail to try to validate and defend it. So not only is she over reacting, she's over reacting to something she doesn't matter too anymore. She is a child (who can't bear children) who demands attention, and my little pony is the easiest way for her to get it. Why, you may ask? Because people made the mistake of circlejerking her as "mom" for three years. It's not their fault though; how could they know Faust was and is a shallow sjw stereotypical woman?

No, it's not misogynist to not want to watch the new Ghostbusters.

I don't accept to be called a misogynist for not wanting to waste time and money to watch a movie I don't care about.
This made me lose a lot of respect for her.

>>27939520
MLP is not very feminist. It may have been made by a feminist, and maybe she had some feminist ideas while she made it, but while you watch it, it doesn't feel any different from the hundreds of all-female cartoons that already exist.

Not gonna lie this is some heavy stuff. Outright telling people to watch it regardless of preference or quality, on the mere merit that it has chicks in it.

This will never stop riling me up. I saw the trailer, looked like generic comedy stuff, with overacting up the ass and bad jokes and really just in general not my style of humor. And I never gave a fuck about the ghost busters before either. And now even Faust ist saying, and I mean literally saying, if you don't watch it you don't care about women. Well she can go fuck herself, honestly. I like ponies and all and she can be cool but this is just retarded.

No-one said there were no executive demands, that is obvious since this exists to sell Hasbro's toys. However, Faust stated at that con that the way Hasbro handled these demands actually made working on this show something like a dream job to her, because she was allowed to think up whatever she wanted, and only after that had to work around demands set by Hasbro. Not to mention that Hasbro is completely fine with only seeing some of the toys once or very rarely, like the gyrocopter, the swan boat, or the hot air balloon. It could be much worse.

You very clearly have no idea what third or second wave feminism is if you think that second wave was egalitarian. Second wave feminism epitomizes the angry, 'women are the superior gender fuck all men' feminist stereotype. Third wave feminism emphasizes that men and women aren't really very different, and that both genders must work together to end the patriarchy, since while it injures women more, it still injures men a good bit as well (longer prison sentences, getting screwed in custody and divorce proceedings, etc are nothing to sneeze at)

Faust truly is the fisher king of MLP. Her womb was damaged by the arrows of fate and her destiny is intertwined with ours, for better or for worse.
>>
>>27942478
My impression was the opposite, second wave feminism states that gender is a social construct and that men and women are biologically identical but women are brainwashed into oppressive gender roles, third wave is men and women are inheritily different, and femininity is inheritly a feminine quality, and masculinity is masculine, and society needs to accept the femininity.
Second wave gives ground for stuff like TERFs, and third wave for "male DV victims are at own fault because their masculinity psychologically attacked the woman, she was just defending herself against his oppression".

Or, isn't the point of third wave that feminine values and roles should be accepted, rather than simply accepting women in masculine roles, like second wave wants?

Very banally:
1st wave: Legal equality for women
2nd wave: Social equality for women
3rd wave: Social equality for femininity

I don't know a lot about what I'm talking about though.

I guess one of the core ideas behind TERF is hate for men, so what I said doesn't make much sense.

>MLP is not very feminist. It may have been made by a feminist, and maybe she had some feminist ideas while she made it, but while you watch it, it doesn't feel any different from the hundreds of all-female cartoons that already exist.

Precisely. It's rather annoying that people say something is feminist related because it has females in it and female roles. You can enjoy content with females in it WITHOUT slapping the feminist label, ya know.

So I guess shows that has male lead roles is memimist? or whatever bullshit saying they have for men and/or men rights see how dumb that sounds?

This is why people start to hate content because of these articles and such always do this. The last time I recall it happened is when the PPG reboot was new and there were clickbait-y articles saying it was feminist related because there was a sneak peak clip of a Buttercup beating up a villain because he called her "princess" I have never seen the show feminist-wise either, despite the old gen had SOME feminist episodes with Femm Fetale, and the episode that involved the Justice League, that's it...

I don't think it's that simple. MLP actually WAS made with feminist intent, and it does attempt to reach a feminist goal (providing girls with high quality cartoons with good female roles models). It is also trying to fight against the poor representation of females in cartoons. So in this way, you can say it's a feminist cartoon. A cartoon with all male characters would not be "memimist" in the same way, because it would not be made with any intent of changing or improving the world, and would just fall into a general trend of many male characters in cartoons. However, if it happened to make an attempt at changing something, it could be considered "memimist", for example by having better role models for men, or by commenting on social issues. But for most cartoons, this is not the case at alll.
So yeah, in some way MLP is a feminist cartoon, because it was made for feminist goals.

However, when you just watch the cartoon, it does not make much sense to characterize it as feminist. It does not bring anything to the table that a number of non-feminist cartoons also brings in, the cartoon itself does not possess any characteristics that would make it something to consider "feminist", compared to non-feminist cartoons.


Let me just draw a comparison to an anime:
Tamako Market / Love Story:
It's an anime with a really great gay character, giving great representation. Clearly a gay friendly anime. This is what you get when you watch the series and the movie.
However, if you read the interview with the director, you will see that this character was made with a homophobic intent, and there are strong homophobic undertones in the anime.
So, the comparison is, MLP was made with feminist ideas, but comes off neutrally. Tamako Market was made with homophobic ideas, but comes off as gay friendly.

Only in some contexts does it make sense to bring up he intent of the creator. Usually, what you get is what to label it as (neutral, gay-friendly).

Hasbro didn't oppose the feminist stuff. The only "feminism" she brought in was good female representation for little girls in a good cartoon. I don't think Hasbro has any interest in intentionally making the cartoon bad, or make the characters shallow and stupid, which would be the only way to ruin what she did. There is nothing to suggest she had any plans to include any anti-male propaganda or social commentary on oppression of women, and that also would go against opinions she has expressed outside the show.

>>27944062
How is the show any different from non-feminist shows like K-On and Madoka and Love Live? And where is the feminist propaganda? The show simply shows a society where women are respected, and no one is denying that, there is nothing fooling about this.

This is why I said earlier that you can enjoy cartoons with female lead roles without needing to slap the feminism label on everything, because they are no different to me. I enjoy content with females, but that does get annoying, but Celestia forbid that I believe otherwise, then get labeled as an MRA. Which is funny because I'm pretty sure there are plenty of females who would think the same, too.

Look. The core premise of FiM is demonstrating over and over again, in no uncertain terms, that there is no one right way to be a girl. You can be anywhere on the personality spectrum from total shut in to absurdly gergarious, anything from a tomboy to a dainty example of traditional femininity, and it doesn't matter, because you can be important and valued while being any combination of those things, or while being something else entirely. The premise is also that women are no less inherently compelling or funny or relatable as characters than men. It's a very feminist message, mean to be empowering to young girls at a stage of their life when the media and society will mostly be instructing them on how girls are supposed to act, as though there were one and only one acceptable way.

Another thing that just occurred to me. The reason why Faust is taking the Ghostbusters thing so personally is that to some degree it was made in a somewhat similar spirit as FiM. The idea was that a Ghostbusters movie could be just as good with women as the leads. And seeing it suffer from some of the same poor marketing (remember that Ms. Magazine article that was based on the stuff Hasbro had up on the website and a bunch of sloppy supposition?) and extremely averse reaction based on nothing (there were and still are people who hate the show for no real reason) would hit pretty close to home. What would be especially irritating is seeing morons like >>27941581, who clearly haven't seen the movie, and are going full Ms. magazine and picking two brief moments out of a vast amount of content and then using it to dismiss something they've never seen. Ghostbusters has a hell of a lot more to it than those small pieces, but the people who hate it wouldn't know that, because like the writer from Ms. Magazine, they were more interested in crucifying something than actually being right or giving something new a fair hearing.

the difference is with ghostbusters they were forced in there. its literally a remake of the original; but with girls, and was pushed as empowering women. if they wanted to stick women in that universe they should have done so in a way that wasnt so blatantly "fuck you."
with mlp theyve always been female. even back in the 80s when they were "girly shit" they had some strong female roles.

lets use construction as an example.
lets say im the foreman, and i have 3 guys and a girl in my employ. now being the equal opportunity nonsexist man i am, i treat them all identically.
one day the girl is asked to move some sheetrock. she says she cant lift it. my other guys can, but she cant. what shes telling me right now is she wont be doing the work i asked.
shes fired, and thats true equality.

now in the real world where people are built differently and more or less equipped to handle certain tasks, such as the physical task of moving sheetrock, id be using the people that i believe are capable of this. not everyone is made equal, and treating them as such is asinine.

as for your oppression shit, id be inclined to agree if you were to say that currently the white males are being oppressed. but youre not, are you?
the only way women are being oppressed is that they want to be able to do jobs like moving sheetrock without actually being physically able of doing so and expecting special treatment while also demanding to be treated equal. that thought process can go right up your ass.

>>27945181
Pretty much This. Women generally perform worse in STEM so you often get calls for the standard/entrance requirements to be lowered to accommodate them, and then further make sure that among the lowest scoring applicants a disproportionate amount are women to make up for the shortfall. It's not constructive, women are already capable of performing at the highest levels, but not in the same numbers as men. Bigotry of low expectations and all that.

I beg to differ. At least up until Lesson Zero, FiM was the chronicle of an antisocial pony getting accustomed to being social. The first two episodes are all about Twilight being told that being a shut in is wrong and being forced by royal decree to change her own personality.
And throughout the show we have various episodes where the characters are either belittled or cause trouble by being themselves.
Take Dragonshy for example, where Fluttershy's anxieties and timid nature were met with frustration by her friends. In the end Fluttershy achieved the desired result by acting out of character. By not being herself.
Lauren's message was about changing and overcoming your flaws (re: not socially acceptable personality traits). Lauren actually did say that are certain right ways and wrong ways to be. Twilight wasn't embraced for being an introvert, Fluttershy wasn't embraced for having crippling social anxiety, and Dash wasn't embraced for being lazy and arrogant. They were all used as bad cases that were then "fixed".

>the media and society will mostly be instructing them on how girls are supposed to act, as though there were one and only one acceptable way.

We are told how to behave all throughout our lives by the media outlets. They are called opinion formers for a reason. Right now, adult women are told through buzzfeed, tumblr and the like that they should act in a particular way. That they MUST be angry, that they MUST demand and that there IS a patriarchy. I have seen people (women, LGBTs, minorities) being viciously attacked by their own groups for not supporting the perspectives enforced by the western media. Big girls are having certain behaviours enforced on them just like little girls do. The difference is that you agree with the behaviours being forced upon women.

>and extremely averse reaction based on nothing

Personally I could hardly care less about the Ghostbusters franchise, but those who do have raised a number of valid complaints unrelated to feminism that you either don't know about or just dismiss as nothing. They are matters of taste though, so "nothing" could be an understandable response. I suggest you lurk the Ghostbusters-related threads on /toy/. They can tell you their complaints better than I. Me, I wouldn't watch the movie even if the cast were men.

But why do women have to highjack male works? If they can do just as good as men then why not make a new successful from the ground up like men did?

>they were more interested in crucifying something than actually being right

You are stating that people either share your opinion or they are wrong. Please please, get rid of this mindset. This is how fanatics and fascists think. You must always question your ideals and try to take different perspectives into consideration, otherwise you run the risk of unknowingly losing your way forever and becoming what you hate. An irrational, selfrighteous oppressor.

>>27945010

And men aren't? Men grow up with cartoons such as Justice League that enforce a particular unreachable physical, emotional and moral standard on boys. We don't hear feminists crying about that.
Men are forced to be the ones to seek out girlfriends and soulmates, otherwise they end up alone and miserable. Men are expected to pay for the women they take out, otherwise they are cheap. Men are forced by social etiquette to help women with tasks, otherwise they are pigs or "chivalry is dead". We hear no modern feminists speaking up and urging women to take men out, pay at least for half the dinner, and not ask or expect help with something.

Perhaps we need a man-oriented movement to address these issues. No wait, we can't. Because it'd be sexist since it'd be strictly about one gender's problems. Just like feminism.

>>27945181
I am thinking about social behavior, I'm not denying physical differences between men and women. And I see no reason to treat men and women differently in general social settings. Also, assuming no women can lift the sheetrock, and that all men can, would be sexist, even if it's statistically true.

And I agree that white males are oppressed. Not so much for the whiteness (although it could happen), but there are many widespread oppressions of males in society.

Also, I was mostly thinking about how women are treated on a social level compared to men, and there are some differences. Women are more likely to be bothered on the street by strangers, and there is a strong double standard against being bare chested, and people may still be less likely to respect them. But I'm no woman, so I can't really speak from personal experience (except that one time I was misgendered and had to talk for a while to a stranger who thought I was a woman, possibly due to sexism).

>>27945364
I agree men are oppressed in society, but that doesn't mean it's okay to oppress women too. Neither gender should be oppressed.
We really need a movement to focus on equality for both genders to end all sexism.

(In my country, it's expected that men and women share the bill at dinner, and the mainstream casual feminists have a seemingly big focus on equality compared to America, where women asking men out is often brought up as something equal that should happen. (The hardcore feminists, though, still only focus on women (not equality), and is more anti-male.) I like how equality-focused mainstream feminism is in my country compared to many other countries, we probably are like the most equal country in the world, which is nice. This is how the focus should be.)

>FiM was the chronicle of an antisocial pony getting accustomed to being social

Not really, no. The show stopped being about that after part two of the pilot. Griffon the Brush off has almost nothing to do with Twilight, serving more to explore the dynamic between Pinkie and Rainbow.

>The first two episodes are all about Twilight being told that being a shut in is wrong and being forced by royal decree to change her own personality.

Yes, but you're oversimplifying it. Twilight isn't shown to be wrong for spending a lot of time studying and absorbing knowledge, she's sent out into the world because doing one thing and one thing only to the exclusion of all else isn't healthy. Being passionate about something isn't wrong, but allowing it to consume you definitely is. To quote Faust in her rebuttal of this point: "In the first episode, the lead character, Twilight, is depicted as a pony so wrapped up in her studies that she has no interest in socializing. But since socializing and making friends is an important, healthy aspect of anyone’s life, her mentor encouraged her to, essentially, go out and play. In the end, the character goes on to lead a more balanced life, maintaining both relationships and her studies."

>Take Dragonshy for example, where Fluttershy's anxieties and timid nature were met with frustration by her friends. In the end Fluttershy achieved the desired result by acting out of character. By not being herself.

Wrong. Fluttershy standing up to the Dragon isn't 'not being herself.' Again and again through the series we're shown that when the chips are down, it is absolutely in character for Fluttershy to step up, swallow her fear, and confront the danger. And while Fluttershy's shyness can and does cause problems, (continued)

it's generally only when she's so shy or unassertive that it causes her to avoid taking a necessary action. Any personality trait is a problem when taken to it's logical extreme. But being generally self confident like Rainbow or Shy like Butter horse or Studious like Twilight is never the problem. The problems come when these traits are allowed by their holders to go unchecked. Rainbow's ego sometimes makes her insensitive. Fluttershy's shyness sometimes makes her a doormat. Twilight's studiousness makes her unnecessarily neurotic or detached from the outside world.

>Fluttershy wasn't embraced for having crippling social anxiety, and Dash wasn't embraced for being lazy and arrogant. They were all used as bad cases that were then "fixed"

Except they weren't fixed. All of them retain those traits, just in a form that isn't so extreme as to override their entire personality and cause serious problems. As I said in the preceding section, literally any personality trait is bad if you let it go unchecked and control all your behavior.

>Right now, adult women are told through buzzfeed, tumblr and the like that they should act in a particular way. That they MUST be angry, that they MUST demand and that there IS a patriarchy. I have seen people (women, LGBTs, minorities) being viciously attacked by their own groups for not supporting the perspectives enforced by the western media. Big girls are having certain behaviours enforced on them just like little girls do. The difference is that you agree with the behaviours being forced upon women.

Nobody cares if people go see it and just don't like it, it's just bullshit to go post a negative review of it and harass an actress on twitter without having seen anything other than the trailer. Which is something we have rather undeniable proof of people doing.

>You are stating that people either share your opinion or they are wrong. Please please, get rid of this mindset. This is how fanatics and fascists think. You must always question your ideals and try to take different perspectives into consideration, otherwise you run the risk of unknowingly losing your way forever and becoming what you hate. An irrational, selfrighteous oppressor.

See >>27946036 for my response to this disingenuous misrepresentation of what my position is.

>Men are forced to be the ones to seek out girlfriends and soulmates, otherwise they end up alone and miserable. Men are expected to pay for the women they take out, otherwise they are cheap. Men are forced by social etiquette to help women with tasks, otherwise they are pigs or "chivalry is dead".

All of which is are issues, caused by the patriarchy, that both genders must work together to overcome. Maybe if you stopped to listen to some feminists once in a while instead of dismissing them out of hand you'd understand what the third wave is about.

We hear no modern feminists speaking up and urging women to take men out, pay at least for half the dinner, and not ask or expect help with something.

Shit like this, it reminds me of an unfortunate trend. Reminds me of feminist students who don't sign up for STEM degrees and take jobs in STEM fields, instead opting to get women's studies degrees and learn to bitch about women not being in STEM fields. The best way to get women in STEM fields as a woman is to get the fuck in one, not to bitch about other women not being in one.

Likewise I can't help but think that the best way for Mom to promote women in major media and strong role models for women in media........... is to be a woman in major media and create strong role models for women not to goddamn bitch about how there aren't enough.
You don't achieve that by walking off major shows and movies, where you yourself had the opportunities to do exactly that. TFH is nothing more than a dying bean-fart from the corpse of what Fighting Is Magic was. Could have had a way bigger impact.

But after ot was over, when asked about ships, the head-writer stated the anime was all about bonds, guts and resolve about the main girls and the secondary characters. And not a lick of romance. The director never contradicted that either. And he was right, there wasn't any romance in that show.

After three very critically and financially films. They pitched the idea of a new ghostbusters movie to Sony, who enthusiastically agreed. Either you know nothing about the careers of anyone involved in Ghostbusters 2016 or you're deliberately pretending to be a moron.

It's almost as if she doesn't like the shirt but she also knows the feminazis went overboard attacking it at the same time. IOW: Faust hasn't completely gone over to the dark side.


The sad thing is that the very feminists that Lauren Faust sides with are the very feminists that would have banned MLP:FiM as someone else pointed out with the Ms Magazine article. Her creation was deemed sexist just as the creation of another woman, Elly Prizeman., the creator of the Shirtstorm shirt. This whole objectification of women is very subjective. Elly Prizeman didn't think her shirt was objectifying women and Lauren Faust didn't think MLP was offensive. But the professional crybullies did and only their opinion seems to matter nowadays.

Women "aren't interested" in STEM because of years of belittlement and marginalisation in a male dominated field. In the oppressive patriarchal society that we live in women are raised with the idea that they aren't "cut out" for science, that it's a boys club. Even the limited achievements that the few great women in science have made, much of the credit was stolen by men because no one at the time could believe a woman could come up with such things on here own. It's why things like shirtgate are so damaging to young girls everywhere. It reinforces a sexist narrative that has existed since time immemorial. So next time before you say "they're not interested in STEM" check the historical context and then check your privilege you cis scum.

>Not really, no. The show stopped being about that after part two of the pilot.

No. Twilight made the choice to change her ways after part two of the pilot. She didn't magically become a friendship expert. She kept studying, learning and making mistakes throughout the series. Episodes like Griffon the Brush off were few during Lauren's run. The focus was Twilight learning about friendship, which didn't leave as much space to explore other characters and would eventually lead the show to stagnation as the writers would run out of friendship lessons to build episodes around. Lesson Zero was the staff writing itself out of a corner.

>allowing it to consume you definitely is

I wholeheartedly agree. Religion, politics, sexuality, interests. Anyone who's whole identity revolves around a single thing is an imbalanced, terrible person. From religious zealots, to gender activists, to car jocks.

>Fluttershy standing up to the Dragon isn't 'not being herself.' Again and again through the series we're shown that when the chips are down, it is absolutely in character for Fluttershy to step up

I disagree. Yes, it is done often in the show. But it's always played for laughs. It's degraded into a bad running gag.
But my biggest issue with Dragonshy was how insensitive and inconsiderate her friends were. They didn't try to talk or understand. They forced her along, berated her all the way to the top and in the end they got what they wanted out of her by being outright dicks.

>Except they weren't fixed

This is a writing issue. On one hand, you need character development. Especially since the theme of the show is learning from your experiences. But on the other hand, the colourful unique ponies people came to love are defined by their flaws. Twilight is adorkable, Rarity is vain to the point of serious impracticality etc. People find these endearing myself included. So the staff found they couldn't advance the characters without taking their appeal away.
The staff has backtracked character development over the years and that has bothered people.

>I'm lucky I'm not allergic to straw because otherwise this would have sent me into severe anaphylactic shock.

There a difference between calling something a strawman arguement and actually debunking it.

>Nobody cares if people go see it and just don't like it

Actually, everyone who'll have paid to watch something they didn't like will care. If the movie sucks then what does it matter why it sucks? The outcome is the same. You wasted money.

>without having seen anything other than the trailer

But trailers are made from companies with the intent to convince you to watch the movies they are about. Their purpose is to look good. If they can't convince you that the movie is good then nine times out of ten the movie sucks.
>>
>>27948880
cont.

My point is that a trailer's function is to make you form an opinion about the movie without seeing it. A positive one, but still.

>All of which is are issues, caused by the patriarchy

If the patriarchy exists then it makes no sense why society has developed laws and stigmas based around not serving women, or why men seek female approval so much (whether through sex or an emotional bond).
Also you'd hear more about male rape and domestic violence towards men. I know for a fact that these sadly exist, and a man-supremacist society would have every reason to use it as an excuse to come down on rebel women.

Now regarding cartoons, my point is that we are going through the same but you're not hearing us bitching. These cartoons set examples and make boys want to be idealistic and physically fit. A physically fit person is both healthy and capable of defending society, while ideals will direct his efforts towards a virtuous path.

>Maybe if you stopped to listen to some feminists once in a while instead of dismissing them out of hand you'd understand what the third wave is about.

Let me tell you about christianity. It's a religious philosophy about love, harmony and understanding. Now let me tell you about the crusades. Thousands of believers left their homes and families behind to go kill a bunch of unbelievers in the name of love-preaching Christ.
The point is that intentions and theory doesn't matter. It's actions that have an impact, change the world and make impressions. As such, I judge feminism from what it produces. Bitter, self-entitled people who wiggle their fingers, have institutionalized misandry, and are trying to police language, behaviour and culture.

>Patently false.

I think comparing the new Ghostbusters to FiM is inaccurate. FiM took a poorly regarded franchise and completely turned its reputation around. Ghostbusters, on the other hand, was already popular. This movie is more like the first Equestria Girls- a spinoff that switches its focus to something people weren't interested in and makes such an awful impression with its trailers and concept that most of the audience would rather not watch it at all.

How does one work against the patriarchy? There seems to be no progress whatsoever at this point, feminists only fight to help women. How does one determine whether the patriarchy is defeated of not? And how would one go about fighting it?
Feminists always, when males complain about how they are oppressed, go "shut up, your problems will resolve themselves as soon as the patriarchy is defeated, you are distracting from the real fight". Meanwhile, they also fight against oppression and discrimination against women, even though that same argument works just as well against women's issues as against men's issues. "Shut up about catcalling, it will disappear when we defeat the patriarchy, you are distracting from the real fight!" Seems really hypocrite. So it's okay to try to help women before the patriarchy is is defeated, but men should suffer until the end? Why mustn't women also suffer, stopping discrimmination against them is also distracting from fighting the patriarchy.

It's actually a funny story about just how different each camp is.

After Second Wave feminism achieved its goals in the early 70s, half of the movement rejoiced and retired from political activism. Examples are Judith Butler and Christina Summers.

The second camp argued that women still had inadequate cultural reresentation and that the patriarchy still reigned strong. These are the ones who would found well-meaning feminist organisations that would later become souless corporate hacks that promote falsehoods for profit come the 90s. These are the organisations that provided the basis for "SJW" mentality. These include Germaine Greer and (I think) several future First Ladies of the US.

Some people noticed that a few comments were misogynistic and decided to emphasize those, which led to some critics being afraid to express criticism of the movie lest they be witch hunted.

I always knew Faust was like this because of her antics on PPGWorld back in the days.

She puts up the facade of a nice, reasonable feminist but in reality she is just like the rest.

>m-muh sacred cow

People don't need an excuse to joke about shit like the Holocaust or 9/11. Self-censoring is fucking dumb, and only makes it easier to stifle expression.

That said, they are pretty dumb jokes. Quality is important.

>People will not listen to you if you insult them either by calling them names or being sarcastic. You are sabotaging yourself.
>A conversation is supposed to be an exchange of information and perspective. Not a fight for someone to win.

Except this isn't a fight. Or even a conversation. I'm not in it to inform you of anything or convert you to my cause. My entire goal here is to be the nagging little voice of reason in the minds of you and all those who think like you. A reminder that the narrative you've built for yourselves doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

>She didn't magically become a friendship expert
I never said nor implied anything of the sort. Only that the focus of the series isn't solely on her.

>Episodes like Griffon the Brush off were few during Lauren's run

Yes, with 17 out of 26 episodes she was showrunner for not focusing on Twilight and exploring either group dynamics amongst the entire Mane 6 or amongst pairings or individuals not named Twilight, those episodes were certainly few and far between.

>which didn't leave as much space to explore other characters and would eventually lead the show to stagnation as the writers would run out of friendship lessons to build episodes around

Wait, your definition of 'Twilight Learns to Be Social Episode' is 'has friendship lesson'? So you'd consider something like 'Dragonshy' a Twilight episode? I stand corrected, non Twilight episodes really are rare. I mean yeah you cheated by using an absurd definition of what is and isn't a Twilight episode, but oh well.

>But it's always played for laughs.

Yeah, like in 'Stare Master', where she had to be brave in order to save herself, Twilight, and the CMC from a horrifying monster, after which they all graciously thanked and respected her. Except wait, that's not 'playing it for laughs' by any definition of the phrase I've ever seen or heard.

>They didn't try to talk or understand. They forced her along, berated her all the way to the top and in the end they got what they wanted out of her by being outright dicks.

Yeah! You may have missed it, but THE ENTIRE, EXPLICIT MORAL OF THE EPISODE WAS THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR WAS WRONG

>This is a writing issue. On one hand, you need character development. Especially since the theme of the show is learning from your experiences. But on the other hand, the colourful unique ponies people came to love are defined by their flaws. Twilight is adorkable, Rarity is vain to the point of serious impracticality etc. People find these endearing myself included. So the staff found they couldn't advance the characters without taking their appeal away.
The staff has backtracked character development over the years and that has bothered people.

You still don't get it. Twilight being a book obsessed dork and Rarity caring about her appearance and Rainbow being very self-confident, etc, aren't inherently flaws, nor are they played that way. Most of the time the Mane 6 act completely in character and still display their core traits, but it isn't an issue. It's only when they let one aspect of their personality run wild and completely define them and dictate their actions that trouble arises. That's the point of the damn show. It isn't a writing issue. People are different and have different personalities, there's no one right way to act.

>There a difference between calling something a strawman arguement and actually debunking it.

Yeah, but you wouldn't admit that it was a strawman regardless of what I responded to it with, so why bother? If you can't be bothered to construct an argument other than 'you believe in all these things and support these publications because I say you do' then why, pray tell, should I care enough to offer a comprehensive response?

>Actually, everyone who'll have paid to watch something they didn't like will care. If the movie sucks then what does it matter why it sucks? The outcome is the same. You wasted money.

Congrats on the deflection, but you still haven't answered the question of why it's acceptable to trash a movie you haven't seen and make racist and sexist tweets towards one of its stars. Which makes sense, as it isn't an easy question to answer.

>But trailers are made from companies with the intent to convince you to watch the movies they are about. Their purpose is to look good. If they can't convince you that the movie is good then nine times out of ten the movie sucks.
>My point is that a trailer's function is to make you form an opinion about the movie without seeing it. A positive one, but still.

Great. Then people can go whine about the quality of the trailer on youtube. But that isn't really a defense of people posting negative reviews of the movie based off the trailer. All this is is a defense of people having cause to believe the movie is bad pre-release, when no reviews are available to provide a more accurate picture. After the review embargo was lifted and positive reviews started coming in, the reasonable reaction is to incorporate the new information and reevaluate your view, not shove your fingers in your ears, post a 1 star review on IMDB, and then call Leslie Jones an ape cunt using your twitter alt.

>If the patriarchy exists then it makes no sense why society has developed laws and stigmas based around not serving women, or why men seek female approval so much (whether through sex or an emotional bond).

Lets address this in two parts:

Why so many laws serving women?

Literally to vague to respond to, how can I tell you why those laws exist if I have zero fucking examples to examine? This was a nice platitude but with nothing else to back it up it doesn't meet the threshold to qualify as a real argument.
