But Twilight was not talking about race, she was talking about species instincts. Those are not the same thing as different species have different manners of living, raising or not raising young, aggression levels, and so on. Twilight was making an educated guess about ‘INSTINCTIVE’ Dragon behavior. There is nothing wrong with idly pondering a species behavior and neither was she saying that they all acted upon it like mindless drones. What’s more, Dragons are naturally greedy and violent in western mythology. Griffons are the same. Changelings are agressors as well. Where is the difference?
 
Those three species are carnivores. It is their nature to be aggressive. Ponies are herbivores. It’s why they are so skittish, even running from rabbits. There was nothing objectively wrong with Twilight pondering aloud a species instincts because they are different species and they will instinctively act different.

I’m more offended by the comic trying so hard to hammer in a message about racism and failing so hard at it.

Moreover, they’re not calling all dragons nasty things. Just the ones outside right now.
Oh no, not the “Not all dragons are nasty, but all the nasties outside are dragons”! argument!
 
Look, I am aware I shouldn’t be bringing real life racial politics but the shit Twilight said offended me a great deal. Because the shit she said about Dragons happened to be used to describe the group I happen to belong to–so it’s kind of hard not to take it a little personal. And it’s worse that the only “nice” dragon is completely living the pony lifestyle, which implies that the Dragon Way is totally wrong and unacceptable.
 
Nay, even worse is that it is encouraged that a dragon adopts the Pony Way but god forbid a pony lives like a dragon (mainly because they’d die within days if not hours, given that Dragon lifestyle is particularly fatal for non-dragons) but the message is there! No. Wait, even Griffons and Changelings are encouraged to live the pony way! Wow, I am so angry right now!

Spike. M’boy.
 
Your pony friends are currently sitting in a cave. They’re there because there’s a bunch of dragons outside who want to burn them to a crisp.
 
They’re upset right now. And they’re venting. Moreover, they’re not calling all dragons nasty things. Just the ones outside right now.
 
You know, the ones who want to burninise them? Without giving an actual reason?
 
Are you sure you want the ponies to think you’re one of those dragons?
 
Really really sure?

Yeah that’s probably the best word to describe this.
 
Damn shame there’s isn’t like 2 pages showing Spike reacting to it or that any implication the insults might be a motivation in the issue or anything.

Yup, just a passing cloud and then it turns into an iceberg than is stadium sized (or as big as the floor of the stadium, meaning ponies in the stands are fine). What is worse is that the EG have been going on for AGES. You mean, with how accident prone the ponies are, possibility of unicorns cheating was seen as worse than an accident that could kill most of the ponies in the stadium?

Lol. Can’t blame him for thinking like that. You’d think there would still be security unicorns wandering around in case someone needed to use magic.
 
I can’t remember the full episode but I think it was an innocent ordinary cloud that got frozen by accident with a stray arrow. It seemed like something like that could happen very easily.

Watch equestria games and watch as Spike is punished and humiliated for acting without thinking, then watch as all the unicorns lock their magic, no safety procedures are in place if there is an accident, players using magic arrows of death for basic target shooting (which is like having an archery competition in the olympics with pocket nukes), spike saves the day by… acting without thinking (but is praised for it this time) and his fire isn’t even colored right, despite them showing it several times in the episode earlier.

It’s like i’m actually watching equestria games where everyone else in the story had to be severely compromised in thought and abilities for Spike to have any limelight because the writers are too incompetent to come up with a viable way to make spike’s personality and traits useful.
 
In what way?

It is.
 
The synopsis says that Pinkie will help Spike in his endeavors, so at least one pony will sympathize with him.
 
Now that I think of it Pinkie’s the one closest to the yaks and Spike’s the one closest to the dragons. And they’re the one’s apparently going to be the most rational. Hmm.

It’s obvious here that ponies have a superiority complex. I always thought of the ponies as the species that is most similar to us collectively as humans. It’s the ugly truth.

I don’t follow the comics but is this story set in the same continuity where Spike went to a dragon town that’s inside a pony city and there are dragons living among ponies? If that’s the case, this comes off as very racist.
 
The ponies are lumping all dragons as aggressive fire breathing monsters while forgetting not only Spike exists but there are dragons who peacefully live among their society. I guess its for writing convenience but it could have been easily fixed if 1 or 2 ponies were seeing things from Spike’s PoV too.

It is abundantly clear that the writers use ponies as a substitute for white americans. Which means it is implied that white americans are inherently peaceful and non aggressive; however non-ponies are…inherently violent? Fuck any and all other arguments–this is clearly nationalist if not racist.
 
Stop trying to inject real-world racial politics to a fantasy world where dragons and magical horses exist. It’s not allegory.
