If it were true, critics wouldn’t be paid for their opinions.

I didn’t really like Quibble Patns. His creation reflects that whoever wrote the episode sees critics as pedantic whiners with shallow, invalid opinions.

Yeah, that sounds about right. X3

@thps48  
Ok, but where does it go?

@Somber Star  
The word you’re looking for is “joke”.

@Background Pony #710D  
I was talking about an implication to something that might or might not have happened offscreen, so there is no objective reason to believe in the truth or falsehood of the nature of my comment. And anyone using the word ‘literally’ removes all openness to interpretation. So again, you’re wrong. Keep batting, kid. You’re probably never gonna hit one, but watching you swing blindly is damn funny.

@Somber Star  
Not really. Sure, it’s impossible to control a person’s interpretation of your words, but it is possible to at least influence their interpretation to a considerable degree. If it wasn’t, language would be pointless, as no one would understand anyone. Since it is, you do have some responsibility for your comment being misinterpreted, especially since your comment indicated that you believed something that was objectively false, compared to OP who’s caption indicates an interpretation that is a lot harder to disprove.

@Background Pony #710D  
I would consider that more of a failure on your part, as long as we’re being honest here.

@Somber Star  
If that is the case, OP did a much better job than you, because I could see the logic in OP’s post but not in yours.

Basically I’m using the same extent of hyperbole as the OP.

@Background Pony #710D  
I’m sure that “irony” was an accident. But yes, I know I’m just taking the conversation to its natural conclusion. Take a pill, I just meant that they were getting along far better than anyone else who ever got into an argument on the Internet.

@Somber Star  
Except that you were specifically talking about the episode itself and how it supposedly implied the two had sex when nothing in the episode indicates such. We were not talking about the irony fandom shipping the characters, we were specifically talking about the events of the episode.

@Somber Star  
maybe they only chastely kissed

@Background Pony #710D  
Do you know what shipping is?

@Somber Star  
How does that imply that they had sex?

@Background Pony #710D  
The writers exploited the fact that people automatically default to tuning out Quibble when he goes on one of his rants at the end of the episode where he’s talking excitedly to Rainbow Dash about the “spunky new side character” in the Daring Do books that he “ships his OC with”.

@Somber Star  
What?

This is ignoring the fact that it’s heavily implied that he ended up nailing the other fan he picked a fight with, the one that looks like his idol character (who he got to meet personally) with a palette swap and who got to cameo in one or more of the books, or at the very least got to discuss his fanfiction about her with her. Unless that’s common for those kinds of people.

@FlonnesIkramant  

Making fun of an opinion doesn’t make that opinion worse or better.

silly anon, that’s not how you spell “after twilight had a brother”

That’s really accurate. I guess.

Do we have a “misuse of ‘literally’” tag?

Well, while that is true to an extent, the difference was that, in the end, he came to an agreement that it comes down to his own personal opinion and that it’s still good, but not in the way he liked it. From experience, that usually doesn’t happen.
 
Of course, this also applies to a lot of other fandoms. Like Star Wars… actually, it fit the Star Wars thing better. Dunno, the way he spoke about it kind of reminded me of arguments I’ve seen. {And oh the G1-unners of pokemon….}
 
But in all honesty, I overtly enjoyed Quibble Pants.
