quote:To capitalize on the insane success of Friendship is Magic, they create the world's first "biotoy" (a term which is intentionally divisive, referring to the concept of a living thing created and marketed as if it were a toy.) There's actually a paragraph in the story the fluffy pony thing ripped off of that has this exact nomenclature debate, ending in the term bio-toy. At what point does mere conceptual rip-off become plagiarism?

Any interesting sounding two word compound has probably been made into the name of a pony OC. I'm guessing at least one has the RAF roundel on its rear end or something. And the Spitfire's not a biplane.

It's pretty normal for any discussion of that series. Admittedly those can be a well of sperg in and of themselves but this is pretty light stuff.

sweeperbravo posted:Interesting. I've known some folks who definitely fell under my definition though. Had a lengthy discussion with one semi-recently and weirdly we came to kind of an understanding of one another. It was doubly weird because the whole conversation took place in facebook comments on someone else's post. In his case it was because he'd been abused as a child by a female relative and resented that male victims are often overlooked and that women are assumed to be the victims, and the rest of us in the discussion tried to explain why that tends to happen (we weren't trying to justify it by any means, just explaining the reasons why it's even a thing that happens). But before that all came to the surface we had a patriarchy discussion where I had to lay it out like "You, individual dude, are not the patriarchy. You are not responsible for the behaviors, bad or good, of anyone but yourself, regardless of shared junk." I think he appreciated that because honestly "patriarchy" is a word that gets thrown around a lot in sexism discussion and I'm never quite sure who is using it right or wrong and who is hearing it right or wrong, so sometimes it's basically useless. The terms patriarchy, privilege, and feminism are all victims of the social media telephone game. That's how you go from the environment in which men dominate the social and political discourse to "everything bad in the world is the fault of penis-havers."

Hawaii looks like it's part of Polynesian Who-Gives-a-gently caress-There-Are-No-Catgirls. I'd imagine Japan owns east Russia because China can't be bothered to go kick them out yet.
