  1. You know, I think I'm going to go and sit in a corner and stop with the opinions.

    1. @thelastgherkin In reference to the Sesame Street thing, I think some of their points is just to not bring up sexuality at all. Which can/could lead to awkward moments, but then there's the Christian right taking prepubescent girls to purity pledges, and fathers taking daughters on 'dates'. That's some messed up sexual psychology cocktails (pun intended) to force on kids.

    2. @thelastgherkin What's wrong with onions!?...oh wait.

      1. @communistprime I don't like onions, #

        1. @thelastgherkin Huh. That does look like "com eat me bro".

          1. @thelastgherkin Thats what I thought! #

              1. @thelastgherkin Seriously? ...I'm pretty sure that's Nick Cave with enhanced facial hair. But I ain't complaining!

        2. @thelastgherkin OH IT IS ON

          1. @communistprime I just ate cold pepperoni pizza as part of my breakfast.

            1. @thelastgherkin What? I don't even...I mean, I had a bacon cheeseburger for mine? That's what happens when you wake up for dinner to start your shift.

    3. @thelastgherkin But... When they do have romantic situations like Rarity (& Spike) & Prince Blue whatever, it is being rather hetero-normative, and it would be good to see a bit of counterbalance. We're supposed to tolerate and love ALL the ponies, not just the ones that have mismatching sets of sex determinative chromosomes. So they should have something. Maybe a Mrs & Mrs Flower shop owners, to counterbalance Mr & Mrs Cake.

      1. @rdbrony Maybe Lyra and Bon-Bon? Hasbro did acknowledge it on the Comic-Con poster...

        Monday, 26-Sep-11 09:30:11 UTC from web
        1. @thelastgherkin I thought Lyra and Bon Bon were on a canon date during Swarm of the Century.

          Monday, 26-Sep-11 09:38:59 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
          1. @ceruleanspark Yeah, and after the canon date... comes the shotgun wedding.

            Monday, 26-Sep-11 09:41:02 UTC from web
          2. @ceruleanspark "Swarm of the Century" was too early for the production team to add in fan references. Point of fact, Bon-Bon and Lyra dining together in that episode it what caused the fans to ship them in the first place.

            1. @thelastgherkin I had a meal out with my auntie once... were we on a date?

              1. @pawnheart No no no but you know fans. "Oh hey, that one pony drank out of a punch bowl that one time. SHE MUST BE A DRUNK."

                2. @thelastgherkin Well... Sibsy has claimed that she did actually intend for that character to be an alcoholic!

            2. @thelastgherkin I thought it was because they were on the bench together at the start of Dragonshy.

                        1. @pawnheart Y'know this restaurant we're eating at? The burgers come structurally reinforced with skewers. If you want to keep both your eyes, I suggest you stop.

                          1. @ceruleanspark Its alright, they're both glass. I'm phenomenally good at guessing the orientation of people and things though.

                            1. @pawnheart It's called Blindsight and it's a thing. Admittedly you need actual functional eyes for it to work, but it's still super cool.

                              1. @ceruleanspark Do I know what you just said? I have no way of seeing it, after all. But I can guess. My occasionally random responses to things result simply from the acceptable error margin of this technique. To answer your question: I didn't, I was more a pogo kinda pony.

                                1. @pawnheart There's actually a book based around this premise.

                                  1. @ceruleanspark Pogoing vs Space-hopping?

                            2. @pawnheart Guess my orientation. Bet you can't.

                              1. @thelastgherkin The net closes, my friend. We'll see how cocksure you feel soon enough...

            3. @thelastgherkin Lyra is one of the animators OC's so it's possible that they decided she was gay themselves.

              1. @ceruleanspark Really? I didn't know that. Did you hear the Bronyville interview with Sibsy by the way?

                1. @pawnheart No, I don't tend to listen to podcasts in general. I'm certain I read an interview with one of the animators, who happened to mention why Lyra was sitting like that.

                  1. @ceruleanspark Oh. She talked about the depiction of Berry Punch is all. To be honest, I don't really go for podcasts, but I make a happy exception for Bronyville.

      2. @rdbrony I agree... but at least in that case, the "fairy tale" is shattered. But, I guess I'm happy enough having the show be kind of neutral. Platonic friendship, after all, is not something I find explored with much depth in modern telly. Its nice that it can be... shows that great friendships with no sexual aspect can be just as rewarding as any other form of relationship.
