Unpopular opinion time

Soy is good, but too many people pretend it’s a cureall panacea.  
It’s a decent meat replacement for cooking recipes, though.

@Anonycat  
That mindset is a big problem for eating healthy, losing weight, and dieting as a whole. People are always looking for an easy way out. It takes two weeks of eating healthy and dieting to even START burning fat from your body; the only cureall for fitness is dedication :P

Soy milk sounds nasty tbh.

Soy milk is tasty. Just it’s not milk at all. ;-D

cockroach milk is tastier

@DarkObsidian  
Pretty much all those “fake” variants of foods, soy meat, almond milk, artificial sweetener, etc, all taste not bad on their own. Just worse than the thing you’re comparing them too. Almond milk is fine but it’s no regular milk :D

@Broken Adam
 
I have so many questions right now… Including cockroach farms somewhere on this world… O_o

@Chrys  
it’s actully pretty good if you get the creamyer stuff or mix it with something.

@Badumsquish
 
Well, I mix soy or almond milk into my morning roasted grain drink at weekend. On workdays I prefer pure coffee. ;-)

:V

@DarkObsidian  
I like coffee black with maybe a little bit of sugar to take the bitterness out :D
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
You could equate it to ponies. Like, the show is to sugar what the comics are to artificial sweetener: calorie free, no match for the real thing, leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and is probably not all that good for you, but people like it all the same XD

I hate it when MLP fanfics try to shove real-world political analogues into them. Especially when the politics aren’t even related to the actual fanfic and it just derails everything for the author to use ponies as a mouthpiece for their politics.

@Jarkes
 
What? So I’m not allowed to right my little Reichschancellor Neihsay fanfic, The Rise of the Iron Hoof Party!? Uhhhhh… Now I’m sad… ;-D

@Badumsquish  
There’s also the fact that some people cannot digest or proccess soy so it does them harm instead of good, but they play contrarian and decide to keep consuming it out of stubborness hoping to get thin and healthy without having to leave the bed.

@Jarkes
 
Say, if the politics are from 1500 years ago and serve mostly as backstory, does it count?

@Jarkes  
I’d be fine with it if they did it in a way that was subtle and fit organically with the show. I’ve just never seen it happen XD

@Jarkes  
People shoving in Trump ponies into their fan fics?

@Marx
 
My little Trumpy, my little Trumpy… (humming)

It happened in the comic, though.  

@Badumsquish  
Eh, not really.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I’m not sure how many would agree with me, but I think a derail is fine when people aren’t trying to talk about on-topic stuff. Like it’s wrong and would be super frustrating if, say, you were trying to talk about the show and I was like “YEAH CROSSFIT BRAH!” and drowning you out, but when the only people active in the thread are fine with it I really can’t see the problem with off-topic discussions :P

@ILoveMyoozik
 
@Badumsquish  
Derails get annoying.

@Badumsquish  
I don’t mind off topic discussion much either (look at that music discussion from a few days ago on this thread which I liked), but if someone actually types something relevant and they gets ignored, then that’s a problem.

Honestly, I never saw the Filthy Rich Vs Mayor Mare comic as a Trump Vs Hilary analogue. Yeah, the comic came out around that time, but its script was most likely written before the primaries.

@Jarkes  
just blame people trying to use to push their agenda.
 
Also I really hope no one tried to make up some BS about how that comic was trying to say that it’s anti-Trump/Cnersative
