is it kosher to just go by what I see in the show?
All you need to know to watch the show is what’s in the show, and all you need to know to read the comics is what’s in the comics; both are deliberately set up so that you don’t need to be following one to keep up with the other.
Isn’t that called cognitive dissonance? :p
Moe seriously, though, what that’s saying is that they’re their own canon, thus not canon to the show. Two conflicting things cannot be canon in the same universe.
you could see it more as an extra, or optional. If anything, it’s IDW doing the extra effort of adding newly introduced characters from the show into the comics, not the other way around.
Legitimate question, is it kosher to just go by what I see in the show? I don’t read comics so obviously I wouldn’t be as lrnt on MLP canon than one who does.
“Canon” still doesn’t mean “stuff you like and agree with”. The comics are FIM canon whether anyone loves them or hates them or doesn’t know they exist; they are simply a different continuity from the show. Superhero comics have been doing this since the 1950s, it is absolutely not a difficult concept to grasp.

What about the parts where they directly contradict the show, such as the dragon ghetto that we know nothing about? Is this a biblical situation where it’s all still somehow canon?
What about how we all damn well know that no one who is making the show is making any effort to be consistent with the comics? Treating them as canon has no more point than treating a fanfic as canon; what is said their doesn’t matter when it comes to how the main show operates, and vice versa, going by the dragon ghetto… A declaration of canon is meaningless when the people who make the thing are still ignoring it completely.
Make no mistake: the status of “canon” is not something of huge importance to me, and it shouldn’t be to anyone. I am not saying this because the comics seem to bat a low average (never read them, but I have seen the endless bitching about them, and the endless bitching about the endless bitching), but because I think that acting as if them being canon is of any importance is kind of dumb. What does it matter when the people who make the show are never, ever going to refer to them in any capacity? It’s like a debate on how effective an anarchist state would be; the whole thing is ultimately irrelevant.
This. Someone needs to lance and drain all the nasty and crazy from tumblr and maybe that poor site can finally heal from its terrible disease.

Y-yeah, avoid 4chan, we don’t need more newfriends summering the place up…
Well, there are tons of text on this site and beyond, about her actions being justified/not justified. Who’s right and who’s wrong? Who knows…
Edited
I feel like that was a pretty weak motivation for her actions, though, considering what she did. Her S5 finale characterization didn’t even seem to fit the S5 premiere that well - It seemed pretty clear they hadn’t had that in mind from the start (and Larson apparently said as much when asked).
Starlight was just sad because she lost her friend. She’s not a villain, she’s a victim of abandonment.

Just a joke
Ahem.
your current filter.Pretty sure the books are completely canon. Like not semi-canon or side-canon, but proper canon to the show. It’s what I hear said when canon arguments come up at least.
Well, there is Nightmare Moon, Starlight Glimmer, etc.
The books aren’t canon though
Well, Sombra isn’t exactly a pony. He’s an umbrum. Read Fiendship is Magic.
/b/ is better :v)
