Maybe she’ll do this with Boba Fett.
 
End up convincing him it’s Darth Vader who’s wanted by getting in a shouting fight and switching her side partway through.
 
But hey, it’s not like trope didn’t originate in “who to shoot” scenarios.

@Cirrus Light  
Remember which pony we’re talking about.

@Officer Hot-Pants  
How so? Like, if you’re fighting someone with a ranged weapon and you don’t have one, you either want to always stay out of range or already be right up to them :q
 
But really you just don’t want to fight Boba Fett, never mind as a civilian… Unless you invoke her cartoony stuff or magic. Both of which are hard to LARP, especially on the spot.
 
But I just wonder how you’d stay in character for something like this when Fett would either fight her or drag her off, here.

@Cirrus Light  
By directing him straight to her, I’d imagine. The closer the opponent is, the safer Pinkie is from them.

How did they respond/protect the Ponks?

This is silly and funny. I didn’t watch this but I imagine it was only like a minute and gave most of them a chuckle. Anyone who saw him walking around earlier would have essentially seen a setup for a joke and this brief interruption was the pay off.

@Zeb  
Yeah. I was about to change that after thinking on it. Oh well. Beat me to it.

@Background Pony #2B04  
Let’s chill and not get too worked up about a short bit of sillyness.
 
@Officer Hot-Pants  
Let’s also not start directly insulting eachother.

@CaptainGrumpy  
I didn’t say I didn’t believe you. It was a joke playing off of the GIF you used. You saw the guy from the previous picture at a con. Here’s to hoping that happens again.

@Background Pony #2B04  
I think you need to lie down
 
I don’t see how you think this is bullying, there are plenty of other panels that have cosplayers in-character doing stuff like this
 
there’s a fuckin’ Game Grumps panel that had a Dr. Eggman and a Conker asking their questions in-character, for god’s sake - this isn’t a new thing nor is it a bad thing or a bullying thing that ruins everyone’s day which apparently you’re salty/petty enough to let it ruin your day
 
I think you’re the one with the problem here, BP who most likely is a user that clicked the “post anonymously” option

@Background Pony #2B04  
It’s not like he came in and insulted anyone, he showed up asking about finding Pinkie Pie because of a bounty poster, it was a joke and I’ve heard nothing about him being rude or that the panel stopped because of him it continued like normal right after. It was just harmless fun everyone enjoyed, seriously if other fandoms want to have fun and interact with the pony fandom that’s a good thing not a bad one.
 
We are not the superior fandom that can’t include others because we’re special or something we’re fans just like other fandoms and sometimes they meet, lighten up and learn to have some fun.

@CaptainGrumpy
 
@Pagan
 
None of you seem to understand that these people only come to disrupt the convention and bully the Brony fandom. You don’t see some non Star Wars character causing trouble at SW Celebration.
 
Staff needs to keep a close eye on these non pony people.  
What Boba Fett did was extremely rude and disruptive. Crashing a panel like that is crossing the line. He should have kicked out on the spot by security.

@Background Pony #2B04  
Sounds like you’re the one who should be banned. No fun allowed apparently.

@Officer Hot-Pants  
dude you can just say you don’t believe me
 
@Background Pony #2B04  
or maybe you just need to lighten up a bit granddad, it’s not 2010-13 anymore
 
no one’s gonna get off of your lawn when it’s not your lawn

@Officer Hot-Pants  
Cool Story Bro.
 
That Boba cosplayer is still a faggot for ruining and crashing the con for the sole purpose of trolling and being disruptive.  
He’s not the only one. Too many non pony cosplayers are coming to Bronycon just to troll and disrupt the Brony fandom. Staffers need to do something about this and ban these assholes.

@CaptainGrumpy  
Maybe next year you’ll run into Matt LeBlanc and can come back to tell us about seeing Joey, himself, cosplaying as Gilda.

true story
 
I actually inadvertently met the man behind the helmet at a Doctor Who convention in Baltimore a couple weeks ago, he was doing the Boba Fett thing with all the Doctors, and I didn’t even realize it until we and two other cosplayers (a Fem!Eighth Doctor and a Second Doctor with a Tom Servo and Crow from MST3K) _{presumably he knew them, I met them last year at the same convention (I fed Tom Servo a jelly baby)} were talking and then he mentioned doing BronyCon as Boba Fett, then it hit me like
 

 
“HE’S THE FUCKING GUY FROM THE SLEEPOVER PANEL”
 
we were laughing and joking about how irritated people got about it -as proven by @Background Pony #326D
 
so it just goes to show: you never know who you’ll run into when you’re at a convention

@Ucox_Thunder  
That sucks (not Asia. The fact that you are so far away from brony con). It makes me feel bad because I live in Maryland and it only takes a 45 minute drive to get to Baltimore where that hold the con.

@Officer Hot-Pants
 
Well put. I’m saving that one.

@Poptard  
After long enough social isolation, fun becomes cringe-inducing to some people. Many of the people who go about labeling everything they see as “cringe” are merely talking about people socializing without a keyboard. They’ve become incapable of separating the act of face-to-face interaction from the feeling of uncomfortability and mistake their reaction for the norm.

@Background Pony #326D
 
The only cringey thing is people like you who insist other people can’t have fun.

@Background Pony #326D  
Why did you even care? My God really - . -

Was this as cringe as it appears?

damn it I wish I had gone to that panel.
