DESPAIR MORTALS, FOR I WISH TO PLAY PATTY-CAKE

Sociopastry posted:

I've never gotten the rabid fanbase for it. I think it's a cute show, and I do like to watch it sometimes because it's like watching it when I was a little girl, but it's nothing super amazing. Maybe it's that each of the characters fits into a neat little niche and that makes it easy for the weirdos to cope with?

I also think there's something in the fact that a lot of the conflict seems to be based on resolving interpersonal relationship issues, but packaged for kids. As an example, my daughter binge watched a bunch of episodes the other day, and all of them were:

-characters are friends
-friends argue with each other!
-oh no!
-someone apologizes and lessons are learned

If you do something bad or hurt someone, all you have to do is say that you're sorry and it's all okay! No matter how many times it happens, everyone will still be friends. So maybe this real life person reacted really poorly when they found out I was stalking them, and didn't forgive me and stopped talking to me, but I know Fluttershy would understand :argh:

That's probably a big part of it. Real life is super complex and hard but cartoons are simple and follow rules and can be easily categorized so its an easy fantasy to retreat into.

There's a pretty big difference between "has an unusual but harmless fetish and enjoys it with other adults" and "wants to gently caress adolescent cartoon ponies." It isn't the liking of something that's the problem but the insane obsession with it.

I'm glad this girl is going to live a longer and healthier life.

Point is that, at her age, she was probably going to kick it into high gear at puberty and lose that weight anyway. Eating a pointless salad 3 meals a day is awful. I did it for years before my kids were born when I was into obsessive fitness. You certainly lose weight, but you end up losing your taste for food all together. Eventually, you just aren't hungry anymore and you only eat when you start to feel tired. No food excites you or interest you. It kills your appetite.

It's OK if adults do it, I'm down with that, but I worry when kids do it. Every kid I've seen that's excited to eat kale and vinaigrette sans oil and salt and vinegar and kale has had depressingly controlling parents.

Kid: "Daddy, daddy, daddy!!!!! Can I have some Kale chips and bottled water that costs 1000 times the price of municipal water??!!!!"

Dad: "No son, water is too fattening. You can sniff the air for your liquid intake"

Kid: "Awe... What about some organic Kombucha seasoned with weasel farts? We only paid $50 per bottle from Generic Organic Store?!!!!

Dad: "OK son, good idea. Just skip the kale chips. We don't want you to turn in to a big fat gently caress you little poo poo! The sour piss-tasting crap syrup made of rotten jicama is enough treats for the day. Now go and do your homework even though it's Christmas Eve and you don't go back to school for a week! Now, now, now, now!!!!! Fatty, fatty fatty!"

I think you may be projecting just a bit.

Tons of fat kids grow up into (literal tons of) fat adults because they learn poor eating habits and don't change. The OP even said she started doing sports.

Also it's possible to have food that is healthy and still tastes good, hth. Sorry you ate a bunch of boring food I guess.

Might not be as much of an exaggeration as you'd think. There's a rising number of children suffering from undernourishment in the Netherlands because their parents insist on 'very healthy' diets with high amounts of supposed super foods, and little or no carbs, dairy or eggs. Surprisingly your kids will get tired, can't focus at school, and also no longer poo poo regularly.

Here's an article from a newspaper, in Dutch though... http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/4560/Gezond/article/detail/3870277/2015/02/21/Geef-ze-een-patatje-af-en-toe-niet-alleen-superfood.dhtml

This reminds me of an article I read that my sister had when she was doing a nutritionist course about how the NHS in the UK was telling parents to make sure their kids, especially daughters, were getting enough to eat. It talked about how many middle and upper class Britons kids were eating very small, and very selective amounts and that was causing issues with their growth. There was particular concern about young girls about the enter puberty which were on very strict vegan diets saying that its possible that they lacked the nutrients to grow healthy ovaries and other important baby making parts.

It's slightly less sweet, for grown-up tastes, and has some kind of "black biscuit" (probably a not-very-sweet Oreo-type thing) crushed and mixed into the chocolate. It's very nice.
