Re: Trigger warnings for lots of things

[inkmage]

I definitely hear you on the vocal minority there. And part of the problem is that if you hear about, say, some James Bond fan who's made his/her car look like James Bond's and this and that and the other thing, then everyone goes, "Oh, wow, that's so cool, you're such an awesome and geeky guy!" But if some MLP fan, male or female, does something abnormal like that, the refrain becomes, "Oh, wow, that's so lame, you're such a lazy bum, stop being so girly etc etc etc."

But the point is that it's seen very different because of its actual demographic, and so to a lot of mainstream media it becomes, "Oh you're cool despite the fact that you're into this," rather than, "Oh you're cool and you're into this." The weakest link becomes weaker, if that makes any sense, which it very well might not.

RE: applying lessons: yeeeeah, I get what you mean. Like, it's all very well and good to say, "Don't give in to peer pressure, kids!" and then meekly agree to whatever unscrupulous thing your boss tells you. (Hopefully not that anyone's boss would, but as an example.)

I try to, honestly. I didn't have very many friends when I was younger and I've never been great at picking up social cues, so having all this actually explicitly told to me is the best thing ever. Especially whatever lessons Twilight learns, since I resemble her to the point when it really isn't funny.

Same here on the last paragraph. (Only, Twilight has way more social grace than I ever had.) Actually having things like that spelled out has given me a new perspective on many situations that I never thought of.

RE: everything else, I agree with you!
