Man, people need to realize that if they forgive an offense, accidental or not, they’re not doing it for the sake of the offender, but for themselves as in relieving themselves of pain and anger. The show could be trying to get people to be more understanding by setting a good example.

If Pipp was a TV personality, nobody would be bothered. It’s just cool to hate the idea of influencers. (A hate that’s not entirely unjustified, mind you).
Just as a side note, I love how Issue 3 of the comics quietly implies that Pipp isn’t the sort of person to do OnlyFans.

I’m fine with Pipp being a positive portrayal of an influencer. I just believe the pipsqueaks (as a whole, not just those three fillies) are an overly-positive portrayal of what a fandom is. Yeah, a fandom can be pretty chill, but I find it unlikely that one as big as the Pipsqueaks would be as forgiving and supportive of Pipp as the show likes to portray them as.

One criticism about Pipp I never got is ‘we don’t need an influencer character”. We’re in the 2020s, if there was a time that the target demographic might wanna become an internet persona when they grow up, and might benefit from showing them the benefits AND pitfalls of it, it’s now.
Now, the execution is up for discussion, but ‘we don’t need this type of character’ always read to me like a bunch of old people yelling the world is changing, and they don’t like it.

Yeah, “explosive”? Not even close. I’m only seeing civility, composure, and understanding here so far about the Pipp criticisms. The most “explosive” things I’ve seen said so far are…the things I said about how hating Pipp just for being an influencer is out of touch and how thinking that having smartphones and influencers in shows is automatically bad when they’re just another part of life now is dumb. The internet’s not going to be fun if you can’t even handle that…

I know you’re not obligated to like anything, I’m just glad that you can still like the special. I find Bridlewoodstock pretty underrated. It may be generally regarded as good or at least decent by G5 fans, but I honestly feel that it deserves more respect and regard as something great.

Pipp may not be my favorite of the main G5 characters, but I don’t think she’s a bad character. The whole social media influencer personality caught me by surprise and I didn’t know how to react at first. Now I just give it a pass since while it (and the culture in general) isn’t my thing, I’ve seen the show enough to know that Pipp is more than the sum of her parts.
About the Bridlewoodstock talk, I agree with River Minecraft. I know and get that it is a flaw of hers and everyone did make good points, but it still bothered me that I can’t let it slide. I’m not obligated to like everything that she does and to be very fair, I did find the episode as a whole funny and entertaining and I liked the performers.

I’m from the a Young generation, so I think Pipp’s thing as a positive influencer is Nice, mainly because it doesn’t go to the extreme that social media is something negative or positive, in general Pipp’s thing with the media is treated as a part of her life, it goes There will be bad things and there will be good thing.
It’s just that not many fans like Rarity because she isn’t condemned for being the type of character she is.

Yeah, media have always been a way to communicate and share information. It’s just that it’s been misused into spreading misinformation and creating more conflict because people can’t control themselves.

regardless of that, the first episode that everyone and I saw was the festival and even with the no canterlove it’s strange, I’m not condemning Pipp, the issue isn’t the ending it’s the execution, If you don’t think so that’s fine.

I like how Pipp is used as a device to explore the theme of “media”, and how there’s a lot of nuance. Sometimes it’s good to unplug, but being connected has its advantages. Let’s not forget that the cooking show Hitch and Sunny put on is what first gave Misty the idea to leave Opaline. It’s really underrated commentary on the power of media.

These two alongside a few others I can name of are gems compared to the majority that are rocks or coal. Because the latter group always have an ulterior motive or dark secret. Unfortunately for them, they are not smart nor cunning enough to keep up their facade for long.
Well fine, if Pipp in any ways gets derailment, as we know from g4, it doesn’t bode well. Maybe a more snobby rival which BTW, she technically has one by the name of Carotang could be used instead as her foil and perhaps a better way to handle lessons about parasocial relationships. Than you know, Pipp herself as amusing as that would be that the good guy influencer indeed and to no surprise, have a dark secret or made a huge irreconcilable mistake.

If, by contrast, she acted more like, let’s say, Jake or Logan Paul…I would absolutely understand Pipp hate. But no, she’s a good role model showing how you can use social media for good, lay off her.
@Background Pony #3F17
We should be against what has stained internet culture, a good example being the kind of degenerate trash the Paul brothers have done. But the “SMARTPHONE IN SHOW BAD INFLUENCER IN SHOW BAD” mentality is dumb. This is life now, we’re not living in 2005 anymore.

We’re in the awkward middle ground where our parents and grandparents will annoyingly keep telling us we’re on the phones too much while we’ll also tell fictional characters they’re on the phones too much.

People forget Pipp is supposed to be a positive portrayal of influencers where despite their whole internet persona, they’re still people with flaws and faults. She always reminds me of the likes of Markiplier and Jacksepticeye who genuinely care for their audience and have definitely made mistakes in the past. Influencers get such stigma because of the ones not like those two.

Hating her just for being an influencer is so out of touch. What, are all TV shows just obligated to ignore the fact that influencers exist or something? I can’t stand stuff like TikTok for the life of me and I can look at Pipp objectively and say that she’s a very well-written character.
