It is like pony has to play within limits so it makes more serious messages that much more thought provoking. Whereas adult content has more freedom to work with but choices not to do anything with it. My co-workers often tell me I need to stop watching children cartoons and watch shows for adults. I ask them why? It is usually the same intellectual context but viewed through a grittier lens.
:pinkieshrug:


I work at a casino. It kind of tempers the whole SO AND SO ADULT THING bit, especially when you see the same people poopin 1000s of dollars a week. Some much much muuuuuch more.

If they can afford it and aint hurting nobody why can't I buy the odd old videogame or the odd Transformer? And honestly I probably tip and give more to charity than most of them do. (Though not as much as I should. Also should save more money. I have been spending a lot less on doofy stuff. I have so much already I don't need it because I am not really utilizing and appreciating what I have. So why buy MORE STUFF I WON'T USE?)

I would love for the "Explore Equestria" theme to stumble upon a Preston, Idaho equivalent and deal with Napoleon Dynamite characters. Episode synopsis: :-/ :facehoof:

"You're enjoying life wrong," explained the internet.

You're taking notes from a crowd of insecure 18 - 24 year olds with that are always on the hunt for something to mock. It's completely bonkers to expect (much less seek) approval from those people. This is independent of who you are.

also, 99.9% of the time they're mocking the fandom - deserving or not, you shouldn't have to answer for it.

Just her in particular? I've not really ever seen her singled out from Uncle Orange or even get much attention at all, unless one of the comics that I've not yet bought has expanded upon her.

I think her name is Amanda.

A common nickname for Amanda is Mandy.

Mandy sounds kinda like Mandarin, a type of orange.

Spike should get more episodes, but they should be about something other than him screwing up.

He needs more episodes like JFS and Equestria Games. Hell, even Inspiration Manifestation was pretty good too, since his main mistake there was supporting Rarity too much for fear of making her upset with him if he didn't. It's when he's desperately trying to please Twilight and the others that stuff with him gets dumb.

As there is a Hasbro office Australia, I'd say they have a little bit.

Yeah I'm not sure publicly announcing how you make your living off creating unlicensed versions of other peoples' intellectual property is the best idea. :fluttershock:

Not if you make a public announcement that you're making anywhere from $500 to $5000 off of a property that belongs to someone else. If she wasn't interviewed she'd probably be fine like any other of the hundreds of plush makers that do the same, but doing something public like this interview could get you in trouble if they find out.

I was just kidding, I know :v: You don't want to advertise yourself if you're doing something like that.

Hasbro's actions might depend on how readily available official merchandise (particularly of the plush sort) is down there. If she's not majorly horning in on what an official licensee might want to make, and she's not making something damaging to the brand (unlike that one Lyra plushie, for example), then I feel like Hasbro might quietly ignore her.

Well if they were to do something, it wouldn't be the first time. They C&D'd WhiteDove and some others in the past, and that wasn't really dependent on their own plushies being sold, it was dependent on the fact that someone made money off of their property. That's all it takes for a C&D.

The only variation is if Australia has a very different copyright law then the U.S.

International copyright law exists for just this reason. Shortly after the American Revolution, American publishing companies would just copy books from British writers word for word and sell them without compensating the authors. After that, it became apparent that there needed to be some sort of international copyright law.

Hasbro seems to largely be concerned about 'Are you actively advertising' - Whitedove is still in business, the key is she has to be way more low key about it.

It's basically 'dont make us C&D you and you are fine'

I've seen her work before. She made this plushie a few years ago. I remember seeing it before. I want one but I could never afford it.

There will, but it'll be a bit late, starting around 7:45-8 PM EST. I'll make another post once it's ready. Tonight we'll be watching Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?, Canterlot Boutique, Rarity Investigates!, and Made in Manehattan.

I was making plans to watch the new season in VR. Looks like I'll have to settle for episode 3 or 4 instead.

Still really excited for more pony! So, if the movie is still planned for November 2017, anyone think this means a season 7 on the horizon?

A 2 parter focusing on the baby? Bleh.

They could have used the premiere to start the whole "Explore Equestria" thing. That would be more interesting.
