I can understand the former, though I completely disagree with the latter. I legitimately saw your instances of addressing me as “pedantic”, as attempts to goad me into a comment-fight.
@Journeyman
I apologize. Looking back on my comments, I should’ve come across less cocksure in what I was saying, and I can understand how you would’ve seen my attitude as being rather arrogant and rude. Again, my apologies.
@Journeyman
I had been attempting to explain why there aren’t more parkour images using logic. You saw it as “unrelated”, but you only made three statements to begin with. I created a thought based around reasoning for “why wouldn’t Rainbow be into parkour”, and you called it “unrelated to what was being discussed.” The remaining comments about why parkour doesn’t fit with EqG, directly addresses the second part of the comment you made. So the way that I see it, it was related.
I’d address the last part of the comment, but to be fair, it was already addressed earlier… and also, this is a good place to drop the matter after I had explained how I saw what you had been saying.
Alright, you said your piece, I’ll take this time to say mine.
You’re were coming off as, for lack of a better word, “comment whoring”. And now you’re trying to shield yourself as a white knight against others, which I find insulting.
Again, there’s an 11 in the parkour tag. I can see there’s not many on the site and even a passing knowledge of parkour would tell you why. I’ve practiced parkour myself and I know its history. So when you tried to lecture me on the finer points of parkour, it came off as condescending.
What really made me question why you even bothered replying to me at all was your explanation. You tried to give a canon reason why artists didn’t draw it. Not only are the two completely unrelated, the real world explanations had absolutely nothing to do with artwork. Each picture tells a story, but each picture does not require a story. You went off on some wild tangent and I was confused as to why you were even here. Whether you intended it or not, you were just posting for the sake of posting. Your replies weren’t related to what I was saying at all.
You weren’t explaining a plausible reason. You were trying to explain why there wasn’t a story. They’re two completely different, and two unrelated, things.
And now you’re portraying yourself as being passive-aggressively attacked. You cast the first stone, whether you intended it or not. Don’t try to pin this on me. You were drawing me into a conversation that wasn’t related to the OP, you’ve shown me you don’t understand the inner mechanics of parkour when making your argument, and now you’re trying to say I provoked you now when the opposite is true.
I didn’t attack you, and I’m still not attacking you. Now I wish you would stop replying to my comments with posts that don’t relate to what I was talking about.
What I explained was that it was “unlikely”, and you and Journeyman took that as “it would never happen”.
But in addition, my comments are essentially being “provoked” as a result of others attempting to throw stones while standing just outside the border of Rule 0, such as what Journeyman has been doing, as well as you with that little tidbit at the end of your comment.
@Journeyman
What matters isn’t your ability to see something and understand it, but to use that information to figure out what it means. “I wish there’s be more parkour stuff on the site. It feels like something Rainbow would be into.” And all I was doing was explaining a plausible reason for why there isn’t.
Plausible. It’s not confirmed, it’s not airtight, and there’s one other thing it isn’t: insulting. I’m explaining a reason for why things go against what you want; this is not a personal attack on you, it is simply against your statement.
Now let us all simply go about our business, understanding that no personal attacks were made, nor meant to be made.
Which is why he responded to me in that particular fashion completely baffling. I only stated I would like to see more Rainbow parkour because it feels like something she’d be in to. He then went onto an incredibly confusing tangent about rationalizing it in the EQG universe, incorrectly stating that it’s a sport and not a style of running or movement, and then contradicted himself when he gave a (biased) outline of the EQG city and that it wasn’t likely to occur followed immediately by redefining it as something that relies on running and a style of movement (something you can do literally anywhere on the planet with solid ground).
Look as the tags right now. It says 11 under parkour. I know there aren’t many parkour elements on the site. I can count. What I don’t understand are these wild tangents he’s going on that have nothing to do with what I was talking about (I just would like to hopefully see more in the future) and explaining parkour in a manner that tells at least to me he doesn’t understand what it truly is or its general background.
What bothers me is his irrational need to explain his point, which has nothing to do with my desire to see more parkour pictures. I have no idea why he keeps stressing this, or why he keeps bringing it up, and it’s my sincere hope he’d stop bringing it up.
I will reiterate one more time. I like this picture, and I’d like to see more parkour in the future. I do not care about his thoughts on parkour; I already know more about it than him.
He’s not saying that she can’t just that it would be unlikely because Parkour is most often practiced in an urban environment and organized groups for it are most often found in urban areas.
Hockey and Ice Curling are much less common sports, especially among non-professionals, in places where it doesn’t get cold enough to freeze outside in winter, even though we have indoor year round ice rinks.
So just because she’s not a city girl, she can’t like parkour or freerunning? That’s the same thing as saying I can’t like hockey or ice curling just because I don’t live in a place where it snows and lakes freeze over.
Guess what: I don’t live in a place with snow or natural ice, and I like those sports all the same. So yeah, you’re full of hot air.
I don’t get what the heck is wrong with you, you never posted anything remotely as ignorant as this as far as I could see.
It was tangential because it was not what I was talking about. I was concerned about seeing a picture and no more. It’s incorrect because parkour is not an urban sport, it’s a style of movement. Now some have turned it into a sport and/or exercise, but by definition, that’s not what it is.
So yes, you are wrong.
This very picture contains parkour elements. Someone was inspired to make it, so my line of thought that seeing Rainbow practice parkour is not an idea I hold for myself. Wrong again.
Now can you stop being pedantic and stop writing comments to me that have nothing to do what I was originally talking about?
I don’t think you understand what a “contradiction” is. It’s an urban sport. She is not an urban-dweller. Those are what I said, and neither statement, as I said them, contradict one another, nor, when corrected, do they contradict one another, and I stand by my statements.
An artist can draw what they want, but inspiration is a major part of what is drawn. How can parkour be inspired when the actions in the show and movie go so far against what would inspire parkour-based artwork?
A personal opinion can still be deemed as right and wrong. For the record, it’s the knowledge that others may deem an unchallenged opinion as “right”, that had me post my response to your own opinion, which I consider incorrect.
Or “wrong”.
…Dude, it’s art. An artist can draw literally whatever they want, in whatever setting they want.
Secondly, you contradicted yourself in a way completely tangentially to what I was talking about. Yes, it was popularized in urban environments. No, parkour does not require an urban environment. It’s a style of movement. It can be urban or rural. As an addendum, due to the size of their campus, it’s safe to say the town is large enough for even basic parkour sprinting and jumps.
Thirdly, read my comment again. “It feels like something Rainbow would be into.” This is my own personal opinion, not an assertion of fact. This is what I want to see, as I see Rainbow.
Stop being pedantic and writing comments just to write them.
Your claim of it being something Rainbow (or really, any of the Mane Six) would be into falls short when it’s an urban sport and she (they) lives in a rural environment.
It’s heavy in movement and action, but considering how they aren’t urban-dwelling characters, it makes sense with there not being much parkour-based content on the site.
And you’re telling me this why?
True, rural areas aren’t conducive to it either. Parkour is very much an urban sport.
Feels like something I might have been interested in in my teens but isn’t something people will get into when land is mostly dominated by trees or crop fields.
Parkour is popularized among a certain environment. The suburbs isn’t one of the best places for it, and really, that’s all we’ve seen in the Canterlot High universe.
9/10. Let’s see if Applejack can do better.
WHUMP
… Rainbow Dash wins the Wall-Jump!
