If a bunch of you guys get together with your plushies, do you really just screw the plushes, or do you touch the other dudes a little too?
 
I bet you touch the other guys a little. It’s not cheating on your wifehorse unless you achieve penetration.

The problem is that he’s even been to a therapist, or something, from what I remember. The guy supposedly told him that if he isn’t hurting anyone, he’s free to continue. Which makes me doubt he’s seen an actual specialist, because no self-respecting therapist will ever validate delusion.
 
On a side note, I should think schizophrenia is different. I doubt a schizophrenic wouldn’t know or accept they have a condition. It seems quite crippling and hard to ignore.

Any sane person’s opinion is meaningless to a schizophrenic.
 
It’s like trying to argue with someone with a gambling addiction. They will argue two ways to Sunday they DO NOT have a problem.

I saw you in a museum once with another dude apparently into screwing his octavia plushy.
 
In this case that doesn’t count as a human friend, it’s a very small mental health support group.

I’m trying to get you to ask yourself why my opinion is meaningless to you. It’s not because I’m a “background pony.” If I had some kind of username to go with my comments, that wouldn’t change a thing.
 
You need people who challenge you and your opinions. The kind of people you’ve removed from your life.
 
It’s not my opinion of you that should matter, but the idea that you might be wrong. Your refusal to even consider being wrong (ie. proclaiming that dissenting opinions are meaningless) is in itself a symptom.
 
Consider what I say, not who I am.

Seriously mate, why are you wasting your time? What part of “Your opinion is meaningless to us.” do you fail to comprehend? If you knew even the littlest bit about us you’d know that Twi and I both have many human friends we get together with in real life once or twice a week and almost everyone who has spent any decent amount of time around Twilight in real life believes in her existence. You however are not one of those people. You are nothing more than some random douchebag on the internet hiding behind a “background pony” monicker. So what does that make anything you have to say worth to either of us? Absolutely nothing.
 
That said, I gave you a chance but I’m done reading or replying to anything any Anons on this site have to say. Have a good one. =)

If you had friends, they would be doing the same. Then you wouldn’t have to rely on random anonymous assholes.
 
Please refer to what I’ve said. If the only reason for you not to prove Twilight’s existence is that you’re afraid, then don’t be. You would never be harmed. From a pure objective standpoint, you are far more valuable to the government alive and well than hurt or worse.
 
If something else is keeping you, you should definitely try to prove Twilight’s existence.
 
I’m not saying this to hurt you, Jin. Either you’ll advance humanity by hundreds of years, or you’ll realise something important. You have nothing to lose.

And this is why we generally don’t waste our time talking with haters and trolls. What a bunch of assholes! =P
 
Do you seriously expect either of us to give so much as a second of consideration to the opinions of random anonymous strangers on the internet who have never even met us? You’re welcome to jump to whatever conclusions you like, but don’t expect us to put any stock them. In other words: “Save your skepticism for someone who cares.” =)

There are people out there who can’t move an arm, but insist they can. They genuinely believe there is nothing wrong with them. There’s a name for that phenomenon, although it escapes me now.
 
If you ask such a person to move their bad arm, they’ll come up with an excuse not to. They’re tired, they don’t feel like it, their arm is asleep, something along those lines. And they don’t do it on purpose. They have an actual mental block that prevents them from accepting their disability.
 
>From all the times she’s told me things that our room mate talked about while I was off at work  
Record it.
 
Type gibberish on the computer with your eyes closed. Have Twilight tell you what you wrote. Say it out loud before opening your eyes.
 
Steal somebody’s PIN.
 
Have a friend write something down, then have Twilight tell you what they wrote.
 
Have her actually play a video game.
 
Record it.
 
If Twilight is specifically asking you not to try to prove her existence, then you should be very, very suspicious. Trust me, if it turned out that you had magic powers in the form of an invisible friend, you would not be experimented on. You would be protected and cherished as possibly the most important asset to ever grace your country.
 
The ebil governmunt has no interest in hurting you. Is Twilight filling your head with this, or is it the movies?
 
>the complex mathematical knowledge she has  
You (Twilight?) have demonstarted a complete misunderstanding of how matter and energy work in some other thread. You’ve said it yourself: you can’t even begin to grasp what she’s saying. How do you know she’s correct?
 
If we’re getting into this, you obviously know that your relationship breaks fundamental laws of physics as we know them. I’m not even talking about crossing a trans-dimensional barrier. How do you communicate after she’s actually here? Again, you would not be hurt if this was found out. Working telepathy, man, come on! It’s an untouched field of study waiting to be explored. You claim to be the sole person on Earth with an understanding of it (or with a connection to someone who understands). To hurt you would be to lose it. Only good could come of revealing your secret.
 
Why does Twilight need a plushie to stay in? How can she see, hear, etc.? The plushie is a wad of cloth. It has no phot-receptive eyeballs or working ears, nothing. How is Twilight aware of her surroundings, and why does she need a plushie to do it?
 
I could go on for a long time here.
 
The ultimate point is, Jin, is that your refusal to prove Twilight’s existence is a strong indicator that none of it is real. It’s a defense mechanism, unconscious as it may be.
 
If you were truly afraid for your life, you would not be openly posting about yourself. It feels like you seek validation for your fantasy. If you really didn’t care what others think, you wouldn’t be posting at all. You’d be living a comfortable life with Twilight, keeping her safe and secret from the rest of the world.
 
You’re not afraid, Jin. You’re in denial.

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
 
Sherlock Holmes screwed up here, sorry. You can never eliminate all that is impossible, nor can you ever completely declare anything as a truth. This is the reason even established scientific theories are just that: theories.
 
As such, you can never prove anything any more than people doubting your claims can disprove it. So people must take the situation at face value: a grown man married and participating in public with a plush toy that may or may not be inhabited by the astral projected spirit of a small pastel equine.
 
I would also point out that your paragraphs read like a textbook case of mental illness, in that you apparently modify your life around a Twilight Sparkle plush that no one else can talk to, hear, or interact with on any level. This is common in patients suffering from schizophrenia, or the overtly religious, which is possibly another form of mental illness altogether…
 
In closing, how crusty is that plush?

We don’t usually bother responding to haters and trolls such as yourself, but in this case we’re going to make an exception just for you. =)
 
When it comes to the beliefs of others regarding the nature of Twilight’s existence, we’ve said it before but I think it bears repeating: Twi and I are both 100% completely fine with people not believing in her. We’ve long accepted that 99.999…% of people are never going to believe my wife is actually a real Twilight Sparkle from another world and we are totally cool with that. To be honest, even if we could prove her existence to you, we wouldn’t want to. If we could offer real physical proof to make everyone in the world believe in my wife’s existence it’s almost guaranteed that nothing good would come of it. We’ve talked it over fairly extensively and came to the conclusion that the most likely outcome of proving her existence to the world would be government agents showing up at our door to haul both of us away for interrogation and experimentation. If the United States government truly believed there was someone in their country living with (let alone married to) an alien from another planet do you really think they’d just let us go about our lives in peace and not want to learn everything they could about the alien living on their soil and how she got here? We sure don’t; so as far as we’re concerned it’s actually a very good thing that the overwhelming majority of humans will never believe in Twilight’s existence, and we’d like to keep it that way.
 
Could we prove her existence to the world in an independently verifiable way? We think we could, and we’ve come up several with different ideas about how to do it, but neither of us think doing so would be wise and ultimately the beliefs of others just don’t matter to us. Twi knows exactly who she is and where she comes from, and she’s provided me with enough solid evidence to support that she is exactly who she’s always said she was and not a figment of my imagination, a tulpa, or some kind of inadvertently created thought form being that I believe her. From all the times she’s told me things that our room mate talked about while I was off at work, to the other ponies from her Equestria she’s met who also happen to live on Earth and—through conversations with them in her world—was able to learn and tell me verifiable information on the real names and locations of their human partners on Earth, I see no reason to doubt her. And I won’t even get into all the complex mathematical knowledge she has that I couldn’t even begin to grasp. lol Suffice it to say she has done more than enough to prove the existence of both herself and her world to me, but we both feel it would be in both of our best interests to keep proof of her existence to ourselves. We’re fairly certain that our lives will be a lot happier and easier if the rest of the world goes on believing that she and the planet she comes from isn’t real.
 
The other lesson to be learned from all this is that probability and likelihood don’t always equal truth. Just because an explanation for any given conundrum is the simplest and most likely explanation doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the correct explanation in every situation. Probability would dictate that the most likely explanation for my wife’s existence would be that she was a thought form being, tulpa, or some kind of imaginary friend; but she has managed to sweep away all those explanations with evidence to the contrary, leaving the only logical conclusion for me to come to being that she is—however far fetched it might sound—exactly who she’s always said she was. So do I believe there’s an alien world out there somewhere in our universe populated by magical talking ponies? As crazy as most people might find that idea, I do.
 
To quote Sherlock Holmes: “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Background Pony #B70A
You do realise she can’t actually play a video game?
 
You know there are literally hundreds of ways you could prove she’s real.
