@everypony LOLLL ALL. FACES. EVERYWHERE. >83
-
@pinhooves Yeah, that's a good method of dealing with it. :)
-
LET'S KICK ALL THE FACES EVERYWHERE, @EVERYPONY!
-
@colfax Hah, how random! But yeah, if someone ASKS how they look - go for it! But just coming up to someone you don't know? Always seemed weird to me, unless you were going to ask them out. And even then - be respectful. :P
-
@everypony I KNOW, RIGHT? Urgh. And you think you're safe on the MERCH board, of all places, to show off your new shirt... NOPE. Because under that shirt is BOOBS, which some men cannot help but comment on creepily! >8( JIMBO SMASH!!
-
@herbalgreen I completely agree! Argh. I think sometimes guys think "oh, girls like it when we ogle them!," and while some girls do, most of the time it makes girls feel really uncomfortable and unsafe. :(
-
@pinhooves That's how I feel, too. Sometimes I get very mean when I'm yelling at people who are also not-nice, though. XD So I'm definitely not perfect, whoops.
-
@colfax Well ... are you sure they were women?! @.@
-
@colfax That's my thought, too. I mean, once you've met a real girl, and gotten your face slapped for ogling her boobs ... you learn some grapes. Even if you only have girl pals who complain about ogling from other men, you learn. If you've never left your basement, well. Never learn.
-
@pinhooves That is very good. :) I think more bronies should aspire to be like that!
-
@colfax LOL, nah, don't worry about it. I just feel like ... the idiots who lack any sort of basic human social skills are making the rest of us pony fans look really, really gross by association. Personally, unless I knew the person wouldn't be grossed out by it? I wouldn't go "HEY NICE bananas" if someone happened to post a picture of their dole next to their ponies ... but actually that would be really, really creepy just by itself. D8
-
@pinhooves I am glad you are not, either. :) Honestly, I think if guys just kept their mouths shut, things would be a lot less awkward. Yes, it's nice to say "hey you look nice!" but what if it makes someone feel uncomfortable? I'd personally err on the side of safety, but I feel like "You look very nice in this picture" is a lot less creepy than "I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES," which I've seen before. Or "wow that shirt sure is being stretched!," which was said, in relation to someone's boobs fitting into a T-shirt. >:(
-
@purpletinker AUGH I am #boycott ing hunger, time for dinner! And ... I might #boycott homework, too. XD

@lifegospel ALSO DO EET!
-
@nightwillow Whateva, whateva! I do what I want! !snuggle >:D
-
@nightwillow BAWWWW! Sounds like someone needs... !SNUGGLE ! >:]
-
Today, I'm going to #boycott a lot of things I find offensive! So I'm #boycotting sexism, homophobia, sizeism and racism, not in that order of course. Hey hey, let's go #boycott! :D
-
@lifegospel Actually, I was doing my best to sincerely re-educate someone who holds outdated and hateful beliefs. Since it is clearly useless, I will be leaving him alone, so no worries. :)
-
@starlightbolt You are offensive. You have no place to be assuming what I do or do not look like, think, or feel. I hope someone in your real life sets you straight, because it is clear that logic will not sway your "beliefs."
-
@colfax I highly agree! Which is why in the future, I hope that Ponybis will refrain from using 'you sound fat' and 'stop being egotistical' in his arguments.
-
@purpletinker Ugh, I'm so sorry. :( I guess it's just really, REALLY hard for some people to understand that their opinions on your life/body/etc do not matter, and should have no place whatsoever in public conversation. But, you know, we shouldn't enter into logic battles with people who have clearly shown up unarmed... XD
-
@purpletinker LOL yeah, I'm seeing a lot of willful blindness today. I also should have brought my 'derailing for dummies' bingo card! So far I've seen the tone argument, "you sound fat," "I can be hateful because I'm a fat fetishist," "objectifying = respect," "fat people wouldn't be fat if they would just stop eating 300 cheeseburgers everyday, geez," and the classic "BOOTSTRAPS!"
-
@starlightbolt Here, I found this - it's a pretty good source, I believe, with lots of links to check out. Even if you don't agree with what she's saying, check out the things she links to. http://kateharding.net/faq/but-dont-you-realize-fat-is-unhealthy/ There's also this one, which addresses the whole 'but they can just diet!' thing. http://kateharding.net/2007/04/12/diets-dont-work-but/
-
@starlightbolt You are implying that you judge people who do not hold up to your subjective standards of how fat people "should" act and eat. You are body-policing, which I find to be a hateful act. I guess you could tell yourself it doesn't stem from hate, though, I guess. I guess I've always just seen it as an intrinsically hateful act.
-
@starlightbolt I'm sorry you have so much hate in your heart for people who absolutely do not deserve it. I hope one day you will address your fat-phobia. People should not be less deserving of respect simply because of how they look.
-
@starlightbolt (oops sorry, objective should be subjective)

@starlightbolt Actually, that's a rather simplistic view of it. As you may have noticed with Ponybis, a lot of people still use weight as a judgment of worth, or as an insult. Even if you close your eyes and pretend that all people can all lose weight if they simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps, the fact remains that people will judge and insult them based on whatever weight they are at the time. It's absolutely not right, and for a lot of people, weight is just as unchangable as race or other genetic features. It would be like mocking someone for being blind - they can't help it, and doing it just makes you look like an as$hole. (Not you, of course, I mean the 'general you.') My question to you: is it ever acceptable to mock people, based on their appearance? Is it okay to be mean to fat people, if you feel their weight is not merited? Do you, as your own objective self, have the right to dictate what is 'right' for other people?

@fluttershy321 Aww! Well, thank you for inviting me. ;)
