Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Jarkes  
I feel like fans hype it up too much but I also feel like it gets too much shit from the haters as well.
 
I enjoyed it, I like how the humor reminded me of Neurotically Yours and a lot of other newgrounds stuff that I grew up on but updated for a more modern crowd as well as having a pretty fun cast of characters. I dont think that the pilot is without its flaws but I feel like theres a lot of potential for it.
 
Personally I liked the Helluva Boss pilot more. I preferred its restaint on the theatrics also Loona is bae.

@icey wicey 1517  
That’s what I was saying.

Speaking of HH, it’s okay to defend it.
 
But, for the love of god, shitting on another cartoon (whether it’s SU or Star Vs.) in favor of defending Hazbin Hotel is just petty and it needs to stop. It’s okay to not like these cartoons, but still (press F to pay respect to Eden Sher’s career)
 
Same with the whole “Sonic vs. Harley Quinn” Twitter war.
 
Let this be a PSA: DON’T SHIT ON A THING TO DEFEND ANOTHER!

@icey wicey 1517  
Basically, after 9/11, Clear Channel, the company that owns 95% of the radio stations in the US (now known as iHeartRadio), ordered a bunch of songs to be banned for fear that they would be insensitive. And the list of songs banned was absolutely stupid.

@TheHappySpaceman  
What were some od the songs?

@icey wicey 1517  
It had some of the most random suggestions. Some of them you could argue were allusions to planes or death, but others made no damn sense.
 
The list included “A Day in the Life,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” and “Ticket to Ride” by The Beatles; “Love Is a Battlefield” and “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar; “Wonderful World” by Sam Cooke; “Fire” by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown; “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins; “Peace Train” by Cat Stevens; “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam; “Walk Like an Egyptian” by The Bangles; and “Falling for the First Time” by the Barenaked Ladies. Because when I think of national threats, I think of the harmless music of the Barenaked Ladies.
 
I mean, “Imagine” was on the list, FFS. “Imagine”! A song literally about the world living in peace! What was questionable about that?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Those are really dumb choices.
 
Also, “Walk like an Egyptian” was banned…  
Is this because the terrorists were muslims? :/

@Angrybrony  
YOU BETRAYED THE LAW!!

@icey wicey 1517  
I have no idea. And yeah, it was a horrible tragedy, but now that nearly two decades have passed, can we all agree that this list was really stupid?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Considering how the US government viewed 9/11 as a declaration of war I think thats probably why Imagine was taken off.

@.44caliberloveletter  
That’s what I figured. And between that and all Rage Against the Machine songs being on that list, the message I’m getting from this is “Don’t think.”

@TheHappySpaceman  
Sounds like what most corporations want their consumers to behave.

@Meanlucario  
Well after all, “war” means “buttloads of money for Halliburton, Boeing, and the rest of the military industrial complex.”

@TheHappySpaceman  
I think war is moreso “people want something,” which while vague, does nail down the intent.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Imagine was a piece of shit song written by a Wife Beater

@Broken Adam  
That’s a non sequitur. The point isn’t the quality of the song, but whether the lyrics themselves contain objectionable themes, which they don’t.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I mean, war is good for business and the economy because it helps boost it and prosper. It was one of the reasons why the US got out of the Great Depression because of all the war goods manufactured due to World War 2.

@Myoozik  
Except the War in Iraq was stupid. And banning all those songs on the radio was also stupid.
 
You know what? The 2000s were pretty stupid all around.

@TheHappySpaceman  
They contain themes that are objectionable to the status quo that the corporations and state are trying to push :P

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yeah it was, I’ll give you that. The only people who profited off of that were Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and the other singers trying to be “patriotic” with their sappy glurgy crap.

@.44caliberloveletter  
As I said earlier, the Barenaked Ladies sure are a national threat, amirite?

@TheHappySpaceman  
I was more talking about RATM and Imagine with that comment.
 
But cmon Barenaked Ladies are totally a national threat. Just look at how much civil unrest people will go into when theyre exposed to “One Week” for the 100,000th time. Total disruption of peace right there.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  

 
That would be true, but the Twitter Outrage Mob and folks at RestEra will never learn to understand it.

@SombrLiz  
They should. Whether they like it or not.

@SombrLiz
 
Doing that on any extreme is shitty.
