Fandom Drama And Why It's Just Silly

Ok....so Equestria Girls. Honestly, this is something I've been trying to ignore talking about, because quite honestly, I'm not interested in it. I don't hate; I don't like it; I don't care about it. But, seeing the reactions to it from the fandom, I might as well talk about it.

Seriously, I haven't seen a fandom backlash this great since Mass Effect 3's ending. It was ridiculous when Mass Effect fans lashed out about it, and it's ridiculous now. Let me clarify; the anger is not what I find exasperating. Mass Effect fans were justified to get so upset at the ending, and quite honestly, I think fans who are concerned about MLP and it's direct

Pregnancy and ResponsibilityThis is going to elicit some response from the social side of Tumblr, and honestly I should know not to say this stuff, but I never learn. For the record, I am a feminist and a libertarian.

Abortion. It’s a hard topic for me because of my involvement with crisis centers and some facts surrounding my birth. I’m going to explain the background of this. I read a post a few days ago saying that if you are mature enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to deal with possible pregnancy. That was the op. The replies followed the pattern, saying that “If you’re mature enough to drive a car, you should be mature enough

Why I Cook: My Wife's Fight With Food Allergies Food is universal. It spans cultures and continents and countries. We treat our friends and family to lunch. We take clients and strangers out to dinner. We buy treats for our pets, and maybe sneak them a little of what we're snacking on. We feed the bird in the park, the fish at the ornamental pond, the monkeys at the zoo despite the sign. Can you imagine anything so alien and ostracizing as somebody who does not eat?

When you cannot eat with others, it gets lonely. You feel conspicuous and left out. If you come along, you have that terribly awkardness of watching others eating. If you don't, you know you're missing out on social

Women Don't Need Men.Ok, this has been on my mind all week and I feel like I’m going to go (further) insane if I don’t get it out now.

My fellow males…we are not necessary for the opposite sex.

That’s right. Women do NOT need us. Whatever roles or jobs society deems are fit for men, they can handle just fine.

Seriously, think about it. Head of the household? Check. Breadwinner? Check. Positive role model for children? CHECK. Security and protection? Check. Heck, they don’t even need us to do simple stuff like dispose of pests and rodents, or other things you’d think a man would handle. And, when it comes right down to it, t

Horror Storm-Based on a real story-

It was 7pm in the evening of Thursday, the 17th of May 2008.
Me, Sam, and one new horse of the stable called WhyBlack were outside.
It was my last horse for today, and even though the weather hadnt been good
all day, the sky was now looking less friendly than in the past 6 hours.
But 'Well,' I thought 'We're gonna be back soon'. I didnt care about the heavy black
clouds that were in the sky. This was Germany. Seriously. We always had some kind
of bad weather in May. WhyBlack and me walked up the hill that leads away from the stable,
both happy and calm. It was rather warm for the time of day, but as I already said - t

Suicide You're Not Alone Suicide
You're Not Alone

Do you people know how many people die from suicide? If you do, you're probably wrong. Sucide is the 10th leading cause of deaths in the world, while its the 3rd leading death in 18 or younger. Factors are mental illnesses, bullying, depression, and intense pain. Physically or mentally.

If you're reading this, and your suicidal, please read on. Don't ever forget, out there, somebody really loves you for the way you are. I love you. Don't end your life. The pain you are feeling is temporary and will go away. Like people say, after rain, there will always be a rainbow. Please, if you are suicidal, get help. Don'

On The Importance of the Artist and the AuthorOn The Importance of the Artist and the Author
By JDJ

Over the generations we have seen different roles become important to our society. Every role is ultimatley important this is true as society would fall apart were it not for everybody playing their part. Examples of this are individuals such as the Doctor and Politician. Without the Doctor society would have crumbled long ago as much of the population would have been killed off by disease or alternatively society would never have grown to become as large as it is. It is through the discoveries made by Doctors that the lifespan of the average person has become so much longer than it was g

On the Futility of Man The quOn the Futility of Man
The question is not ‘why are we here?’ It is not even ‘why do we try?’ The question, my friends, is ‘why do we ask these questions?’
Perhaps the answer really is as simple as ‘because we’re human and that’s what we do’ but something about that answer unsettles me. It’s too easy, too quick to brush off something that must be deeper. I dig ever more deeply that hole of the paradox, but I want to know – need to know - ‘why?’ Can I know why? Perhaps it is futile. Perhaps it is a horrible cycle in which I am doomed to spin eternally.

On Star WarsStar Wars was the result of collaboration. All movies are, of course, but the case of Star Wars shows it quite definitively: the music of John Williams, the sound effects of Ben Burtt, the behind-the-scenes key work of Gary Kurtz. And most subtly, the theoretical input of Joseph Campbell.

George Lucas’ original ideas for Star Wars changed numerous times over the years he spent creating it, slowly honing the raw and random ideas into a mixture of Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress" and Joseph Campbell's 'monomyth', the Journey taken by every hero (hence one underlying hero with a thousand seemingly outward forms - A Hero of A Thousand Faces)

Amuro's Thoughts: Sonic Lost WorldFor those of you not in the know, the next major installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise was announced on Friday by Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata in the Nintendo Direct podcast. The new game, entitled Sonic Lost World, has been described by Iwata as an action-adventure platformer that will be exclusive to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems in a worldwide partnership between Nintendo and Sega. As of now, we have no other news or side information about this title aside from a gorgeous CGI screenshot, presumably of a cutscene from the game or even a trailer, of Sonic and Tails flying via the classic Tornado towards a surreal-looking and seem

Secrets

another political essay by
Charles E. Kunkle Jr (fraterchaos)

I'd like to ask everyone a question, and I want you to give an honest answer... not to me, but to yourself.

If someone is keeping a secret from you, is that not a very good indication that they are trying to do something unpleasant to you, or trying to accomplish something you would not like?

Think about it... if they are not "up to something" and if that "something" isn't something bad for you, why would they wish to keep it secret from you?

I personally believe it is perfectly safe to say, that anytime somebody is keeping you in the dark, it MUST be for nefarious purposes.

You might be thinking... ok, but what is this all about? Well, I'll tell you.

Yesterday (Monday July 16, 2012) the Democrats in The Senate of the United States tried to pass something called the Disclose Act. They were doing this as a response to the recent decision by the Supreme Court that "Corporations are people" and therefore "can donate any amount of money to any political campaign without reporting the donations". In other words... very very rich people and corporations can basically try to buy political offices.

Now I don't know about you, but I feel such a thing is very very wrong. We don't need billionaires deciding what is right for the rest of us. But evidently, the Republicans in Congress feel that is actually the perfect thing to do... and we are also supposed to believe that it has nothing at all to do with the fact that Conservatives benefit from this ruling 2 to 1 over Progressives.

Yes, that's right, The vaunted Republican party is the major beneficiary of the Supreme Court ruling that allows these rich people to buy elections... so is it any wonder they used a filibuster to block a vote on the Disclose Act?

They don't want you to know who is paying for their campaigns... I wonder why that is? Its the Middle Class and the Poor Working American they are trying to keep in the dark about this, so who is it that's being screwed?

Think about that when you go to vote...

cool, good song, and thank you

*daxusx Jul 23, 2012

you know the song?

*fraterchaos Jul 23, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

no, I had never heard it before but went and listened to it

*PhotoComix2 Jul 22, 2012

I found the basic idea to consider corporations as human being a terrible error :

The worse is that there is a part of truth...corporation tend to become as living being and the first steps are the same of any living being... protect themselves with any possible way ,grow and procreate.

But even if living and more intelligent of their creators are far to be human...are much more powerful and potentially dangerous of any human, are not restrained by moral, and have legions of lawyers hired to avoid to be restrained by law.

and since they could not be controlled in the same way (i can't see how jail , confine in a psychiatric asylum or electrocute a company ) give them even more power seems a proof of masochism.

*fraterchaos Jul 22, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

indeed. I cannot see any way in which that ruling makes sense.

I keep hearing these same arguments from conservative minded people, that we should eliminate government programs and turn them over to private companies... as if no company has ever done anything wrong. Over and over we have these cases where huge corporations have broken all sorts of laws... but we are to believe we should turn over everything from health care to postal service to these same companies!

It is all about money, but there are some things that are more important than money.

*LeonieZurakowsky Jul 18, 2012 Digital Artist

ARG!!! This is insane! How they even managed to convince govs that Corps are people is just beyond me! As if! There is just no comparison.

I've always believed that "secrets are lies, bad manners besides" is the rule to live by. This doesn't mean that you have to tell everyone everything but certainly that disclosure is the best option in most cases - ESPECIALLY stuff like this that affects all of us!

Looks like the BC campaigns again pipelines and tankers are having some effect! People are booing at the Enbridge ads in theatres and cheering for the ads for the opposition of them. Even the mainstream news is sitting up and taking notice! If we defeat the current premier (governnor to you) of BC, the new pipelines will be killed! YAY!

Currently the opposition party's (New Democrats - the socialisty ones I belong to) approval ratings are higher than they've ever been! So the election coming up next year has a good chance of being OURS!

*fraterchaos Jul 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

well, some good news at least...

I'm not sure what to think about our situation... they keep saying all the polls are predicting a very close race between Obama and Romney, although they also say that most people don't trust Romney and don't like him and want him to release more of his tax returns and explain why he needs Swiss and Cayman Islands bank accounts and when did he actually leave Bain.. he keeps saying he reytired in 1999 or something, but he is listed as Owner, President, Sole Stock Holder, CEO and Chairman of the Board up until like 2003 during which time Bain was buying and closing american businesses and shipping the jobs to china and making millions for Romney while putting regular working people out of their jobs...

And all the polls show that Congress, which is mostly run by republicans, has the lowest approval rate ever, only 10% of people approve of the job congress is doing... an yet they try to say the polls all show the republicans are about even with the democrats... so I think maybe we're being lied to again...

*LeonieZurakowsky Jul 19, 2012 Digital Artist

Definitely being lied to! Plus anyone with the first name "mitt" can't possibly be trustworthy!

Analysts here are still saying that Obama is the best bet!

*fraterchaos Jul 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

well, actually, his name isn't even Mitt... I have seen his name in print as W. Mitt Romney... and heard some commentators referring to Willard... I think his really first name is Willard (and after the rat movie, I can understand why he goes by "Mitt" LOL)

I heard another really great one last night...

Romney is now running an ad where his son speaks in Spanish (because Romney has like 0 support from hispanics) saying how Romney loves Mexico... that his father (Mitt's father, the son's grandfather) was born in Mexico... they simply must have forgotten to mention that the reason Mitt's father was born born there was because Mitt's grandfather moved there to escape the "conservative" marriage laws of the USA which only allowed him to have one wife... Mexico's more "liberal" laws let him keep his five wives! But I guess it was simple oversight that they didn't say anything about that part of the story...
