No but seriously, how did you guys deal with it?

@sebastian1314 I never read Cupcakes. I know how it goes, and it sickens me. I try not to think about it.
-
@sebastian1314 Oh, I just didn't find it that bad.
-
@pinhooves Same situation as you D= I don't know, it's just nagging me for some reason right now.
-
@pinhooves I feel the same way about Cupcakes, it's kinda the antithesis of what I love so much about ponies, if I wanted death and mutilation I'd watch the news.
-
@yodelerty How?!?! It's horrible!!!
-
@bladeshadowmane THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I feel!
-
@bladeshadowmane Eeyup. Enough death on the news already.
-
@sebastian1314 Oh, I've been desensitized by the Internet (which isn't in any way desirable).
-
@yodelerty D= Sorry to hear that... =C
-
@sebastian1314 It's pretty gross, at the first and only meetup I've been to someone had the music video that kind of paralleled the story, and I just felt sick while most of the other people there were laughing about it. I felt super awkward then..
-
@bladeshadowmane Why would they do that?!?! And HOW can they like it????
-
@sebastian1314 Nah, it's fine. I'm slowly becoming more sensitized. I'm sure I couldn't read it again.
-
@yodelerty Oh ok, good. (I guess, right? It's good right?)
-
@sebastian1314 Really the only thing I can say is they were much younger ponies than me, and probably are way less disturbed by nonsensical violent acts. I honestly don't know, I find no pleasure in it
-
@sebastian1314 Totes. :D
-
@bladeshadowmane Whaaa??? Hmm... Maybe you're right. At first I thought that younger ponies would be *more* horrified by it, but considering the main audience of games such as GTA, I take it back. But that's not to say that *all* young ponies are like that. At least, I hope not!
-
@sebastian1314 yeah I don't think every younger pony is like that but it can be difficult, I can't officially say I'm like "a Buddhist" or anything but I try to put the 8 fold path into practice and utilize what I know about Buddhist practice into my own life, and violence is really not a big draw for me. I noticed awhile ago how heavily I rely on the threat of violence to get project an image of power, and really that's just false, I can't abide by it.
-
@bladeshadowmane Yeah. That's awesome though! Buddhism is a great religion to follow; it teaches some really great messages.
-
@sebastian1314 I tend to follow the Zen aspect of Buddhism, which according to some people is more akin to a life philosophy than religion, but I'm nitpicking lol
