It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.
(I didn't, largely since I've never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)
EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.
centrism is when the inconvenient fact of the indigenous people who cared about the buffalo population aren't even worth a mention.
(it occurs to me the possibility that the buffalo are explicitly a stand-in for indigenous people, but please don't try to tell me that makes it better. otherwise, i'd like to show you a picture of some random frankish warrior and tell you that both the mongols and the europeans have use of the european peninsula. lottttta different nations and peoples to be mashing together into one representative that can't have revolutionary intent right there.)
Unfortunately I regret to inform you the buffalo are native stand ins yes. The show is... Exceedingly bad about racializing characters.
There is for instance one zebra character on the show. Her introductory episode was about everyone doing racism towards her. She lives in a Darkest Africa themed voodoo shack in the middle of the Bad Forest, speaks in rhyme, and has gold bands around her neck. She was introduced in season like... 2, and the show ended on 9 seasons, and no other characters as racialized as her showed up
Didn't realize there was shit that blatant in it.
Honestly makes me surprised we haven't already had like 5 "BreadTubers" make "Takedowns" of the show. I've never watched and episode so idk wtf its even about besides ponies.
I think it predates the rise of Breadtube by long enough that it's not really worth going back to. Friendship is Magic isn't even the most recent My Little Pony show anymore, the new one started in 2021 and is 3D animated.
Man I really wasn't online back then
