So this was on one of those tumblrs

I think the fact that men felt so insecure in their masculinity that hey had to make a noticeably-male moniker for people who are fans of a show about My Little Pony (which is an inherently feminine program) was one of the earliest signs that the fandom might be in trouble.

Last I checked, it was just a joke on 4chan and people decided to run with it. But yeah, I'm not one for labels and words like "Brony" and "Whovian" kinda seem silly to me, can't people just say "I'm a fan of *insert show name here*"?

Nothing against you, Jack.  I'm talking about the tumblrs.  It looks and smells like "We're not like everyone else in our fandom! Believe us! REALLY!"

Face it, having come from the furry fandom, it's a matter of putting yourself out there of leading by example of what not to do as part of a fan base, rather than waving a flag (metaphorically speaking) and saying that you're really not as bad as those guys on either side of you.

Actually I have to agree with Cerim here.  The people who wave flags around stating that they're normal/not like the rest make me suspicious that they are.

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'd heard about the stress test, but no links were provided in the announcement.  Downloading now, here!

Today's episode was wonderful.

But then, it was a Discord episode. It's hard to ruin those.

I absolutely loved this episode.

The song?  AWESOME.  Easily the best song of the season so far.

I'm waiting for someone to put the Molgera battle theme from Wind Waker over the giant-worm-thing battle near the end.

Just watched the episode. So. Many. References and visual gags.

And Discord just happens to show up in the same episode as a Starswirl the Bearded exhibit. Coincidence?

So this week's episode is the first one that I missed this season due to the way my work schedule was.

It was alright.  It's definitely one of the stranger episodes, even by MLP standards.  Also, I have a few points I'd like to make.

1.  Brace yourselves for Cadence/Discord shipping - or even a shipping triangle between Cadence, Discord, and Twilight
2. I now cannot think of Cadence without seeing her as an adrenaline junkie
3. Number 2 makes me want to see fanart/fanfiction/a tumblr where Cadence is an impulsive thrill seeker.  I especially think a Tumblr would be great (and I would do it myself if I had the time/skill to draw for it).
