“As I mentioned earlier, it turns out there WERE some matchups that were so close they turned things around due to discarded votes. These were the following votes discarded due to missing or incorrect verification answers (MOSTLY missing, more than half of those i had to toss simply had them not filled in at all or filled with ‘idk’s)
Rarity 19 / Derpy Hooves 12 (wouldn’t have closed the gap)
Celestia 19 / Twilight Sparkle 14 (wouldn’t have closed the gap)
Princess Luna 22 / Applejack 13 (Luna would have won by 1 vote)
Pear Butter 20 / Trixie 17 (Pear would have won by 2 votes)”

a good shitshow
a rigged voting thing. the only thing more rigged is the elections
That would be true if “Twilight Sparkle” in general was in the poll. It’s explicitly unicorn Twilight, though.
Twilight Sparkle became an alicorn since the ending to Season 3 and stayed an alicorn, so I’m sure many people consider her an alicorn nowadays.
Edited because: "Most" is stretching it.
Where’s the alicorn? I only see two unicorns
yes. this seriously a thing.
we know
That’s implying I don’t occasionally visit /mlp/. Which I do. And I voted.
if i have a say in something that carries far more weight than this, i’m gonna be more open minded, like i should. This is a popularity contest for fictional characters. is me be being defensive really going to affect much?
I’d hate to see how you act with something that actually does carry weight if you’re this bent out of shape at the idea of character you don’t like being favoured by a group you shouldn’t even concern yourself with.

Yep, that’s pretty much the general impression you’d get looking at some of the complaints here.
PONIES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS
comparing some internet competition between fictional characters to elections, something that carries far more weight. sure.
So when elections and such happen and your choice doesn’t win, do you spend the next few years of it with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears going “LA LA LA LA LA”?
Cause that’s the impression I get from your statements whenever anything doesn’t go your way.
they’re not obligated to do that either. neither party has so accept anything
Trix Twi and Derp are faves since, feking ever. AJ is a surprise tho. But in AJ’s brackets you have RD and Luna so I think they was planning to have either one of those two go up into the semis at least. Yes I think it’s rigged. Good on AJ.
Yes, everyone knew the final four would involve Applejack and Trixie.
Your tinfoil hat could do with some straightening.
