Oh wow, I had almost forgot about this…
 
Now I wonder if the responses he got are why he didn’t write for the show after this except for a story credit on Applejack’s Day Off.

We need a “show staff started shit” tag

Whatever, after dealing with the worst of this fandom i cant even blame him, i dont even disaproove his attitude

@RektPony  
Dude, that’s savage.
 
How do you know how these things are produced? (Not sarcasm, genuine question.)

Just wanted to say that Dusedau suck more at MLP writing than Mearriweather and Polsky at their worst combined. Both of his episodes were completely carried out by the animators and storyboard artists. Every part of the script he wrote is terrible.

@TexasUberAlles  

 
It’s because you substitute insults for logic you don’t have.
 
So self-righteous, ugh. Not sure you’d be capable of comprehending why I’m right, bleh.
 
@toxicitzi  

 
When did that happen? Did I miss a post?
 
@Itsthinking  

 
Aye. If you you want and you can talk to someone… why wouldn’t you? Technology only makes it possible.
 
I think people’s expectations of how communication works in the real world contradict how online discourse works: in real life, you walk up to a person and pile on an a ten-minute argument about why they were wrong about something they said ten years ago, it would be ridiculous; online, it’s part of your daily life. Good or bad, doesn’t matter, it’s just how it works - and it won’t work any other way.

 

@toxicitzi  
Hey, I care about as much about this drama as Dusedau does about…you know what, forget it.

@Itsthinking  
that was a figure of speech for how these types of dramas go and by now, I’m saying that we have years of experience.
 
there’s no moving on. there’s just the same ride, over and over again and there’s no getting off it, because there never was.

@toxicitzi  
Years? Dusedau was only a writer on two episodes…

@Background Pony #7CFA  
the funny thing here is that, he’s right.. it’s really sad when TUA has to be the voice of reason around here, but even if it’s him doing that, I’ll take it.
 
 
@Itsthinking  
move on, after all these years showing otherwise? I think you’re hoping for too much there buddy.

Dusedau has moved on, so why can’t we?

@TexasUberAlles
 
Just keep calling that kettle black.

@Background Pony #7CFA  
Nah, doesn’t really work when one side is clearly in the wrong, and this dude is clearly in the wrong. When you’ve got Itsthinking agreeing with me about an arguably subjective matter, you can pretty much pack that tar brush up and carry it home, son– you’re gettin’ no legit use of it here.

@TexasUberAlles
 
Pot, meet kettle.

@Background Pony #7CFA  
Sorry you’re just plain wrong so often, brah.

@Background Pony #7CFA  
Usually.

@TexasUberAlles
 
Is Alles seriously accusing other people of being self rightous?

@TexasUberAlles  
Oh, I definitely agree. Here or on any given fansite this complaining would be annoying but acceptable. Ah, the perils of social media. If Dusedau is even slightly connected to what people are saying about his writing I’m sure he got enough of a feel for what people thought without even asking. Just cruising through tags can get him that. People just interact with content creators out of the blue all the time now. It’s just how thinks work these days, good or bad. At the same time, I don’t know if you can value and appreciate unsolicited compliments on Twitter but for some reason reject criticism. Both are unsolicited and likely misinformed on some level. But you’ll listen to them if they have good things to say.

@Itsthinking  
It’s not a matter of “you cannot critique it”, though, that’s not what’s at issue here; the self-righteousness comes from throwing that “critique” unprompted directly at the writer himself, in a tone of voice which clearly implies that the opinion of the critic is objectively factual and the content creator made some kind of error by not creating content more in line with what the critic wanted. Regardless of whether you agree with a particular opinion or not, there’s a distinct difference between presenting that opinion as an opinion on a blog or fansite and presenting that– completely unsolicited– opinion as a given fact directly to the writer; that’s not “critique”, that’s just telling someone you think they’re wrong because you didn’t like a thing they made. It would be different if Dusedau had specifically asked fans for critique of the episode with the stated intent of accepting their opinions as they were given– a content creator has it comin’ if they do so, and no moral right to complain if they don’t like the opinions they get in that situation– but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that this is the case here; this was just a bunch of randos trashtalking a writer’s work on his personal Twitter.

@TexasUberAlles  
Not that I’m saying that Draco’s commentary has merit because I don’t really think it does, but “You don’t make X, you cannot critique it” is a bad argument as well. Essentially no one’s subjective opinion has any more weight than any other, except debatably the writer’s.
 
It doesn’t take a Michelin star chef to point out if food tastes good, is what I’m saying.

@Draco_2k  
Your comeback makes no sense  
Your commentary here is exceedingly self-righteous, I’m not sure how to explain it in a way you’re capable of understanding. You’re acting as if your own personal opinions on the episode and its writer somehow have greater validity and importance than the actual episode, and that your complete and utter lack of scriptwriting ability and professional status somehow give you the authority to tell an actual factual children’s programming professional how to do his job.

@TexasUberAlles  

 
Oh no! The nerve of him! This is most unorthodox!
 

 
Your comeback makes no sense. Get some sleep.

@Draco_2k  
I don’t see entitlement in any of the three posts  
So you… honestly don’t understand how a random nobody from Twitterland directly chiding a professional writer for having written something that didn’t suit that nobody’s tastes comes across as a massive sense of entitlement? That’s not even touching on how hard all of these Sunday Morning Story Editors– and you as well– are begging the question by acting as if their _~OPINIONS~ about the episode were self-evident facts.
 
The kind of response you’d expect from a parody of a typical self-righteous fanfic author  
Yes, your commentary here certainly does seem that way, doesn’t it. Dusedau isn’t “self-righteous”, he is a professional TV script writer with a job writing scripts for TV, and he has every right to react with annoyance when a bunch of self-appointed script doctors and frustrated fanfic writers act like he personally insulted them because they didn’t care for an episode he wrote.

@Vree  
OP pointed out what was wrong and how to fix it. What is it if not constructive?
 
>This is just some netizen acting like a jerk, then crying “we can do no bad, you can do no good.”
 
Neither. No insult, and definitely none of the last part.
