Surprised this wasn’t here. Best of the lot because Carnifex. And because it simply is.

Honestly I wonder why I do this sometimes - or why people like me do this in general. Is it because we want to be “the savior”? Maybe it’s because we want to see a small peek into the terrible, terrible grimdark alternate universe where everything is wrong, so we care more about what’s right?
Either way I never saw the “dong hurtful things” meme to be as destructive as people tend to get triggered into thinking it is. I don’t think the artists usually do it out of hatred for a character either, I think there’s just a certain beauty to tragedy.
It’s my understanding that people in an abusive relationship don’t usually just walk out of it like this. Could be wrong though.
MLP seems to at work under reversed gender roles, at least a little. Normally it’d be the guy taking the risks and kicking manticores in an adventure.
In real life, there are plenty of women who hit their (often much stronger) husbands with impunity. Even smashing drinking glasses over them and cutting them up pretty bad. They seem to feel safe enough to do that, and they even get away with little punishment.
If we have a reversed gender role society, why shouldn’t this same behaviour exist for the other side?
Under no circumstances is it a good idea to hit somepony who has kicked a manticore in the head. They may hit you back. Consider yourself lucky she chose not to make a scene, because I have full faith in her ability to kick your ass from here to Canterlot.
Cheers,

@NounVerb
The thing that makes them psychopaths is that they choose to leave hostile comments and often advocate or outright threaten real life violence for a drawing, rather than just drawing the same kind of image (say something mean, slap them, etc.) with a role reversal.
Instead of replying in an objectively equivalent way, they choose to escalate the situation to an absurd level, or threaten a real, live, human being with violence.
One response is reasonable. The other is worrying.
@NounVerb
and if you were trying to refer to the people commenting and not the artist, then you had a sort of an English fail.
Referring to the artists who cater to this meme as “psychopaths” seems a bit much. It’s a meme, dude.
A meme involving someone being a dick to a pony.
Again, and I can’t stress this enough, these shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Would you say the same if it was Rarity mistreating Spike and taking him for granted?
The word fag means nothing. It’s a weak term meaning “person” when used on it’s own, or “one who does” when used as a suffix appended to a verb or noun.
If they really didn’t want to see it, then the people who didn’t like the “doing hurtful things” charts wouldn’t come here to publicly declare their wish for the author to be killed, violently assaulted, or for the imaginary viewpoint character to be stabbed in response to a slap.
It’s an issue of:
-people advocating or wishing for real-life violence on the basis of a drawing
-disproportionate retribution (Justifying violent and bloody mutilation because of a slap), and
-double standards (I have yet to see anyone make or imply an argument that if a woman slaps her boyfriend once, he gets to steal all of her belongings and/or be as violent to her as he wants in response)
I’d welcome more “doing hurtful things to your husbando” charts, but that’s never what these psychopaths do.
While I do like browsing /mlp/ a lot, I dunno if they’re nicer. It’s a lot easier to get called a something-fag over there, you know? Tends not to happen that much around here… well, unless I say something really, really stupid, but in that sort of situation that’s my fault.
As for the “Doing Hurtful Things” images, well, what else would you expect? It’s a fandom that mostly hates seeing awful things happen to their waifus. “Mostly” is the key word. With how this style of meme has evolved it should only be expected that the ponies in question would retaliate every once in a while, lashing back against the anonymous character in question.
A particular Rainbow Dash image comes to mind, the one that ends with something like “I’m taking your stuff, fag.” Or something like that.
Really, this series of images shouldn’t be taken that seriously. Even if they’re torturing our beloved waifus, we’re all still adults; if they manage to actually anger us, that’s our fault and our fault alone.
I was actually basing this off of the “I’LL FIND YOU AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH FOR DRAWING THIS!” responses on a lot of the images on this site. Plus, I’ve seen some “doing hurtful things” images that end up with the ponies turning into monsters and violently murdering the viewpoint character, along with cheering comments in the comment section.
I think the concept of what’s scary is warped for a lot of noisy, hateful people on this site. That’s why I spend more time on /mlp/ than here. They’re a lot nicer and calmer overall.
I know Carni’s got some violent/gory art, but not enough that my first thought upon seeing the extra frames was “Torture, ahoy!”
I’m glad it was just a way to expand the existing narrative / character arc.
It’s alright, yo, my comments tend to be all over the place anyway =3 .
I’ve been out for five days…
… funny how I never checked this notification while my comp was down and I was relegated to my 3DSXL; I thought I’d need access to my computer before I could be in a position to reply to your comments… shrugs
Hurray! Quetiapine party at ShimmeringStallion’s place!
Same with meeeeee~!
No worries, the meds take me in and out of consciousness every couple of hours or so once I start getting tired.
Shows what YOU know, my screen’s only got FOUR lights!
… it takes a while to read comments.
Could take a while going one at a time.
