Apparently APM was shut down because of a C&D from Hasbro.  But the author was planning on ending it anyways, it just ended a little sooner than he intended.

He doesn't seem particularly upset about it, and I didn't really even care outside of "I do not want to read this" so yeah.

That being said, the actual rape jokes made by other bronies disturbs me.

The C&D resulted from the Down With Molestia folks outright e-mailing Hasbro's LEGAL TEAM and ranting about how the blog was nothing BUT rape jokes (which isn't true in the slightest) and that it was damaging their brand.  Never mind that Hasbro hadn't really given a shit about Molestia, or any NUMBER of tumblrs that are even WORSE with actual sex and violence and rape and body horror (looking at you, Lil Miss Rarity, even though I read that too).  But it was because of these whinebags actually taking it that far that the C&D even happened.

Yes, JJ finally said 'fuck it', but that really, really didn't do the anti folks any favors, considering they're literally cheering that they've "done away with getting rid of rape culture in the fandom".  Yep.

I'll admit, those are pretty funny.

Bulk Biceps is such a dumb name, they should have just used Snowflake.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I'm okay with Bulk... between him and Flutterhulk from Power Ponies...

I like Bulk Biceps, because it reminds me of the many names of David Ryder.

I liked the name Bulk Biceps, too.

Also I liked that we actually got to see his personality this episode.

HE HAS NO INDOOR VOICE

THIS IS HOW HE TALKS

ALL THE TIME

AND IT'S STRANGELY ADORABLE

For those that wonder where I got the images from, blame my comrade in marshmallow hooves, Aquaman52.  He did the writeup on Equestria Daily for this episode, which you can find here:  http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/01/rainbow-falls-episode-followup.html#more

I'm not thrilled with the name but I like the character. It's like he's got roid rage without the rage.

A stunning picture of snowy Crystal Empire in SL.

I had forgot I had taken this around the beginning of December.  It's a shame it's gone now though, they knocked it down to make something more generic.  It and Canterlot were the closest show replicas around.

By accident, my group and I ran into someone by the name of Pinkiepony in Everfree and Canterlot as well.

What a bunch of morons.  Rape jokes don't cause rape, rapists cause rape.

The basic argument is that when people laugh at rape jokes, we're telling potential rapists that it's OK to rape, that this particular form of violent assault is a joke.  So they're less likely to restrain themselves when they see an opportunity to rape someone.

Anyway, back on topic!

Bulk is adorable, although Jay was like "So why didn't they ask for Derpy instead of the steroid pony?"  "Honey, you're new to this show.  You didn't see 'The Last Roundup.'"
"Half the reason that I like foreign music is because I can kid myself that "Shake dat ass" is more poetic in Hindi."

Move every 'sig.'  For great justice!
