The Official 'Friendship is Magic' Thread

I haven't looked at anything involving the new episode, so as to not to be spoiled. Hope it doesn't disappoint like the past couple that haven't.

From what I understand, there's a preview clip out there. Supposedly, it's gonna be another great one.
Personally, I'm passing on streaming the episode, since I'm going out to protest ACTA tomorrow.
EDIT: I saw 5 secs of the trailer. This episode will rock, nuff said.

 

[DiscostewSM]

I used to wake up at 6:00am to watch newer episodes (starting with season 2) via streams since I don't have The Hub, but Saturday mornings had been my special day to sleep in. Plus, too many times the streams would have problems (video and audio), so I stopped watching via streams even after the change to 7:00am, and now just wait until around 2:00pm and watch them on Youtube. I'd later go download the 720p watermark-free non-YT versions and archive them.

Due to timezones, I can just watch the stream at 4pm. I got a "team" who helps me with getting masses of screenshots for vector-ideas. When I've decided what to make, I'll go get the shots from the hd version on youtube

I also watch the episode twice on the stream, as I'm way too focused on vector-poses the first time

 

[DiscostewSM]

Question. Are the 1080p TV broadcasted versions simply just upsampled from 720p? Some say they are, but others say they aren't.

people are mad over derpy?

It's how they view the word "derp". From what I remember, it was originally (and still) used to reference having done something stupid or having screwed up, like saying "Oops, I derp'ed". However, many have taken the meaning to signify a disabled person, and when they think of that in terms of Derpy, they think Derpy is an offensive slap to disabled people.

Either way, people are too easily offended nowadays. In fact, some people want to be offended so they can voice themselves, or put themselves into situations where they can be easily offended.

^problem solved.
If Hasbro pulls in Derpy, there isn't jack shit we can do, honestly. Being a loud fandom isn't going to help. Let's just let the world move on as it should, okay?

 

[Quanno]

Just because we can't do anything doesn't mean it's not stupid or that we shouldn't talk about it.

Well, one way to make this all become good again is actually to pretend Derpy is a boy.
Yes, I'm for real.
The voice actress thought Derpy was first a boy, and if you watch the scene in that way, it's absolutely not as objectionable if it were Derpy as a filly.
Think about it.

 

[Foxi4]

People shouldn't be offended by Derpy acting like a mentally disabled person because she's designed as a mentally disabled, and to top that, jinxed pony. That's that.

You can interpret it anyway you want but those are the facts.
