It's also not as fantastic as Octavia's screengrab, however.

What's even better than that is the one where someone looped Pinkie's jiggling animation while Maud just stands there, completely still.

I was just walking home, and I swear to Celestia I passed by a 60-year-old lady wearing a homemade FREE TIREK T-shirt.

Or probably because of it. :pinkieshrug: Little gags the writers wanted to get in before the characters were given a few laps.

Yeah, maybe, but Celestia's "I'm With Stupid" shirt has an arrow that rotates to point at Luna.

Twilight still looks incredibly weird without her horn, even more than Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked without their wings. I suppose it's stranger since a unicorn's horn is always going to be visible with his or her face, whereas pegasi are often in shots where their wings aren't visible.

I think it's just that it looks like there's a big gap that makes it look weird.

I mean here, Twilight has her hair lines too far apart from where her horn was, and Rarity looks like she has almost a bald spot. :gonkity:

Yeah, I think the reasons the unicorns look so strange without their horns is because it leaves a big chunk of their heads exposed in the animation.

Any pegasi whose wings had to be magically regenerated every three days and would burn to a crisp if the sun hit them just right would be pretty lousy pegasi, I think.

Remember Betsy McGowen? One of the three writers for that one episode?

Apparently she created her own show for Disney XD. Here's an episode.

This seems like an interesting idea by BronyCon, but it depends how many people see it. Presumably there'll be an explanation in the con guide as well.

I think I've seen that sort of thing used at one or two other cons before, but I have to wonder just how effective it is. I'm a little surprised (and saddened, if it was conceived as a response to attendees being harassed) that there even was a need for it in the first place.

Yea I was about to make a joke all 'ha ha what who needs that' but then I remembered oh wait no there's like a problem with harassment and shit around and maybe those will help some of the more socially stunted people who do that understand to step off I guess?

This isn't meant to be an answer to harassment, and it likely wouldn't help much in that regard since that kind of behavior is just as inappropriate towards people who are otherwise willing to meet people at conventions. These badges aren't necessarily meant to be worn by every attendee, they're just tools to help those who struggle with social interaction. For some people, it's the easiest way to show that they want to meet new people even if they aren't very good at initiating contact, or on the other hand to voice that they would be bothered by even non-creepy and socially appropriate attempts to start a conversation with them. This system was recommended by the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, so I figure it works at least to some extent and it seems like a pretty great idea to me.

As the post says, it is something recommended by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, so I imagine it's more to prevent accidental harassment of someone than it is to prevent deliberate harassment. However, I would imagine the latter category is usually the bigger problem, so I am unsure how effective it will be.
