Eh, unimaginitive? That’s pretty subjective. Honestly I kind of like Equestria being one of the more advanced civilizations on Equus.
I don’t think history and cryptozoology is something these people would be familiar with. Think smaller.
If that’s the case, then why didn’t the hyper sensitive cunts/SJWs bitch about Ahuizotl being a “mexican stereotype”? I’m honestly more surprise that he got pass through the censors. Because of his death traps, the creature that he is based on, and his cultural prime that he is originated from. The aztecs were a brutal culture by sacrificing millions of their native tribes for the gods!
And hell, the Daring Do books made him very serious. With Marked Thief of Marapore showing that he scarred a pony’s cutie mark for leaving his gang. You could argue that Tirek did it, but he just made them fade. He just mangled the cutie mark with his own bare hands. Even the book said it was a horrifying appearance. Just a grimdark thought that he possibly did this to other ponies for leaving his affiliation. If you ask me, he’s my favorite villain in the show.
Because while he’s not like the famous villains, he has a very sinister and twisted mind that aided him in his villainy. He’s more villainous than the Diamond Dogs, Flim Flam, and other bully ponies combined compared to him! Also, as a latino, with parents from Guatemala, he’s the one who got me interested in mesoamerican culture. If anything, I thank the show itself for making me interested by my own heritage. But much so for the character.

Historically accurate or not, it’s still annoying and unimaginative. It’s a non-starter idea, to make accurate representation of real-world people in location in, you know, magical land of talking ponies. I mean, if you look at Zecora as representation of black people instead of a magical pony witch doctor, it becomes pretty damn racist. And dumb. It’s, you know: do something interesting with the world you’ve created, don’t just populate it with stereotypical people and locations.
I have the same beef with Manehattan, actually. It’s an unimaginative and stereotypical location that doesn’t make much sense in the context of the show’s setting. Do something interesting with what you have, damn it.
Violent threats over depicting Africa pretty accurately for the show’s (1910) time era?
Not to mention plenty of places in Africa still have that going on… Either that or are in poverty.
Sure, there are exceptions, but they’re really more exceptions than the rule, and don’t exist in sub-saharan Africa.

Yeah, I was thinking more stone-and-marble architecture myself. I like to think of Zecora’s rhyming as a way keep her mind in sharp condition. I mean, talking in rhyming out to take a lot of effort. I suppose any half-decent explanation for such a flabbergasting quirk is better than none at all.
At least we got that cleared up lol.
They do tend to believe that. “You disagree? That means I’m right!” Facts are almost NEVER on their side though, which makes it easy to debunk them and show the world for what they are. Whiny, pathetic, psychos.
No, my bad, I had originally meant to link a review — from The Guardian no less(!) — making it clear that Ian Kershaw’s books were not Nazi apologia, and end my comment with pure unmitigated snark but I was getting sick of writing, said “fuck it, that’s good enough”, and posted my reply early.
A lot of SJWs seem incapable of grasping the fact that why we oppose their whining is not because it is whining but because their ideas are demonstrably wrong or, in the rare case of an argument of theirs having a kernel of truth, that their solutions will cause more problems than they fix. They also seem incapable of recognizing that people objecting to someone deliberately misrepresenting their views isn’t “getting offended over nothing”, it’s people defending themselves from attempts to disenfranchise them through character assassination.
Sarcasm is a dangerous thing on the internet now sadly. It doesn’t even work well in person anymore. Too many loonies out there making problems.
Sorry about that, I sort of sped read through your post so I was slightly confused. My bad. I was just ready to reply to ATS and call them an idiot.
Funny thing is when he said, “I guess you really care about Milo.” It sounds slightly homophobic lol. Like he was implying I want to sleep with him and it was a bad thing. (Don’t get me wrong I would sleep with him, I am bisexual.)

Pinging you two as well since it seems I forgot that with the other side being the living embodiment of Poe’s Law no amount of sarcasm is obvious any more.
I wouldn’t want something that modern, but perhaps something that eccentric while still being roughly contemporaneous with the designs of Ponyville or Canterlot would work.
And the one serious gripe I had about The Journal of the Two Sisters is that it portrayed rhyming as a common practice among zebras; I preferred to think of Zecora rhyming just because she liked to. Though if they depict contemporary zebras as speaking normally and explain Zecora’s rhyming as her way of honoring their past, I could be happy with that.
I hope they don’t. If we ever got to see Zebrica and it were to be a bunch of straw huts in the middle of nowhere, I’d [insert threats of violence here].
Personally I’d go with modern architecture spruced up with Dazzle Camo.
Fun idea: Zecora a refugee on account of rhyming and withcraft being outlawed in Zebrica. Just to add some sprinkles of drama.
Zecora is cute but underused,i hop they’ll visit Zebraland somedays
your current filter.Oh boy. Way to miss the point.
People, bronies especially, have zero problems with minority characters. Exhibit A:
your current filter.Have you seen how much fanart changelings get? Their whole shtick is that they’re alien monsters and token “bad race” guys, and yet bronies love them (yours truly proudly among their number).
You know what we didn’t get? Two of the mane 6 pronouncing feelings for each other out of the blue. Not because it’s gay. Because it’s stupid. Even in fanfics - so many fanfics, practically all of them - where people expect it to be the main attraction, it has to be done well. That’s all it’s about. Quality.

There was occasional complaint about “Zebra = Black people” and how that’s stereotypical and insensitive, but it’s been quickly reduced to little more than a joke. Zecora’s reception wasn’t as overwhelmingly positive as Trixie’s, but I don’t think anyone dislikes her either.
I love Zecora, personally. Zebras are awesome.
I wasn’t paying attention to the show when “Bridle Gossip” premiered, but I recall seeing some complaints dragging on into the second season, so I’m sure there was some fallout.
So trolling people while pretending to be a nazi, joking about nazis, makes him a nazi? Sure, strong logic there. Not. Milo trolls alot, he jokes a lot. If you don’t understand jokes then I pity you.
@A-T-S
You made no points you retard. You simply said “Milo is a nazi!!” As for examples, you basically said, “He is a nazi because I say he is a nazi!” His works aren’t propaganda. He doesn’t write for nazis. BTW I love the way you say “I’m not triggered you are!” LOL! That doesn’t sound childish at all! I would call Milo a professional at triggering people. Is that the ‘point’ you wanted me to address?
Not liking Summers shows me something about you. She isn’t a troll. She doesn’t try to get a rise out of people like Milo. She backs up what she says with facts and evidence. She is generally the calm and collected one. Which says to me you don’t care about facts, logic, and reasoning. You prefer calling names like 3 year old and shouting NAZI at everything you disagree with. I can understand you being triggered by Milo, but CH Summers? Really? What has Based Mom ever done to you?
Finally, I didn’t stay up all night. Sorry sweetie but the world doesn’t revolve around you. There is a thing called timezones and we aren’t in the same one. Thus while it is nighty night time in your area, I am awake and about.
Stupid much? What has a iron cross to do with Nazis? It was an medal long before the Nazis?
And if i read those comments here, are you better guys? No still cringeworthy, not all of you tough.
“These people hold a different opinion to me, so they’re obviously idiots and nazis!”
Grow up.
Proof that knowing things doesn’t make you smart.
If you’ve watched any of his videos, you know this guy trolls a lot. Given he’s homosexual himself, I’m pretty sure he’s not an actual Nazi.
That’s a pretty fantastically pitiful attack to make on someone, though. Don’t like what he says? Don’t argue against the substance of his comments, cause you can’t win there, so call him a Nazi!
SJWs, the witch-hunters of the 21st century. “I saw Milo as a black cat! And he mutters weird things when I’m rude to him. A witch!”
“He refuses to feel guilty about his race no matter how much I tell him he’s a shameful
faggotciswhite male! He must be a genocidal maniac that wants to exterminate billions!”|| To be clear, I wouldn’t call someone the first striked-out word, I’m just poking fun at how new SJW terms like “cis” are basically racial slurs.||
Also, culture hasn’t changed, Zecora’s actually well done setting development. She fits naturally and doesn’t come off as political correctness hamfisted in.
Edited
Can’t even remember the last time he actually said something truthful, and it looks more like you’re the one who’s “triggered” here considering you continued yelling about this all night. But regardless I just gave you multiple examples that you deliberately ignored, actually tried citing the running joke that is CH Sommers as a source, and you also haven’t addressed my other point, guess you really care about Milo…
This one idiot aside, with people reacting this badly to the idea of a minority character in media I gotta wonder what would happen if outrage culture like this existed when Zecora was introduced for the first time.
Guys, shut up and let him put gays in the comics.
The porn is gonna be great.
No, there was a time when some of them called themselves that. Wasn’t long before it was co‐opted, primarily because they were mostly keyboard warriors and hashtag activists and nobody could take them seriously when they called themselves warriors.
I think “SJW” is just a combination of “social justice activist” and “keyboard warrior.”
Unironically?! The term originated in the so‐called social justice community as yet another self‐congratulatory label to tack onto the end of the stereotpyical paragraph‐long declaration of their race, gender, preferred pronouns, political ideology, and mental illnesses. For fuck’s sake, the only way it is used nowadays is ironically.
