The same spirit that animated the classic cartoons dwells within this one as well.

I admit, my apple consumption has gone up since watching FiM and other things.
Hola! The animation's nice, the songs are catchy, and it's just so sugar-coated and cute.

Oh wow, so close to the 3M views, I wonder if there is another pony video with so many.

Not exactly pony - related, but this is a subject of debate that truthly interest me, so pardon me if I kinda revive this polemic of yore. I hope that love and friendship can make us have a civil debate, even if our postures are completely opposites. Well, here we go:
And how does "derp" eyes and a goofy - like voice imply mental disability and a "marginalization" of the mentally disabled? I do have mentally disabled relatives (one little cousin of mine, love her to bits) and sure as hell she does not look like Derpy, unless strabism and spatial desorientation have now replaced mongoloid facial traits and diminished relational and deductive capabilities. They were clearly aiming at potraying a fool, not an actual mentally disabled person. I can't, for the love of God, try to draw any paralelism between my cousin Elena and Derpy, and I would need to be quite a horrible person to do it so, and if I would do, it would be my (huge) personal problem, not MLP's animators.
Because, in the end of the day, it IS censoreship, period. Censoreship with a good cause and the best of the intentions? It may be, since I don't have any means to look into anyone's mind I will take your word for it. But it is censoreship regardless: it is never a good thing and good cause doesn't justify it either. There are terrific works of art and satire with horrible, horrible messages behind it, and the world would be a far less interesting place without them (Birth of a Nation and Metropolis comes to mind). Yes, a business must keep a certain degree of social responsability, but I would personally like to live in a world where creative fredom takes precedent over corporate ettiquete.
Sorry, but that's a strawman argument. Stop implying that you know the "true intentions" and thoughts of people that disagree with you, you don't.
Media do not perpetuate injustice. Media is but a mirror of society, not its sculptor. Which is one of the reasons that I have against political correctness: sending an angry letter to a TV station is a far easier thing to do than doing something actually meaningful for a cause. It is a placebo, to put away the mirror because we don't like the image that it gaves back to us, nothing more.
Expanding the circle of concern will mean that in order to avoid any polemic, the artists will just avoid introducing certain minorities since you know, the potrayal of said minorities might get them offended. Political correctness, with the best of their intentions, in the end results in the media invisibility of said minorities that it intend to protect. I am pretty sure that we will see fewer screwball ponies, cancer ponies, Zecoras and the like in the future after this incident. I mean, heterosexual, arian ponies are less likely to "offend" anyone, plus you don't have to devote the whole chapter to explain their complex social situation if you want them to appear without causing a ruckus, and being accused of perpetuating a sterotype, too *sigh*

Brutally defeated by previous pony generations... pack your things bronies, you are a shame for the internet.
Unrelated to any of the current Derpy controversy ("Derpygate"), did you have your muffin today?

Yes I had my muffin (well scone is close, right?)
I did just finish this. Should've done this yesterday, but I've been so busy organizing and digitizing my massive DVD collection. Totally worth it though, XBMC rocks!
Anyway, some older PonyGAFers might remember me sharing shake recipes I made. Finally made a video version how-to for the Derpy shake. If it's popular enough, I'll do more videos for the others.

So where can I find out more about this "Synctube" thing? Ctrl+F in that season 2 thread and got nothing.

The links for that and Steam/IRC/etc are in the OP for this thread. The synchtube can be found here: http://www.synchtube.com/r/PonyGAF
Usual meetups are on Saturday at 5PM EST for ponies, and there's frequently a 4PM EST warmup with Kirby.
From the OP of this topic
The [REMOVED], with gatherings to watch episodes and new video creations happening at Saturday nights (Sun. 0:00 BST/WEST, Sat. 19:00 EDT, Sat. 16:00 PDT, Sun. 1:00 CEST).

Great stuff! I tried almost every one of your previous smoothies, and loved them all, particularly the Pinkie Pie inspired one. Is this a different recipe from your previous Derpy smoothie?
If so, I'll be sure to try this one as well, if I can find the ingredients for it.
I just told the OT thread to watch Sea Prince and the Fire Child, so I'm telling the Community thread to try and catch The Secret World of Arrietty in theaters if you can.
I just saw it earlier, and it was really good. It's basically The Borrowers (children's book) adapted into anime by Studio Ghibli. That should tell you all you need to know. I went in braced for a below-average Ghibli film and came out with one of my favorites (which kind of says a lot).

Just watched episode 20 where Fluttershy becomes a famous model. It was another good one! I really liked it. Fluttershy was hilarious of course. When she tries to scream and squeaks. Lol and also when she kicks the vase hahaha, hilarious. Pinkie Pie was funny as shit too. FOR-E-VER! lol And then when she acted out digging a whole, covering it up, building a house over it and then moving into the house. Hahaha. Still can't get over Fluttershy's voice too. It's just funny every time she speaks.
This is now the best game. Sorry Cutie Mark Crusade, you're gonna have to work hard to top that.
