S1 psychotic episode:
>Disturbing, but still cute. Snowpity remains intact.

S2 psychotic episode:
>Full-blown memeface. Snowpity is heavily compromised.

This is why season 1 still matters.

>>42273002 (OP)
You sound old.

>>42273002 (OP)
That season 2 episode made me uncomfortable. I almost skipped it

>>42273002 (OP)
Season 2 still has lots of snowpity, but I do admit that this is probably the single most destructive episode to the future of the show. On its own, it is funny, but idiot writers didn’t understand it and thought that spazzing out 24/7 was Twilight’s “thing.” Because of this, we got HORRIBLE episodes, like “A Trivial Pursuit,” which is the ultimate assault on Twilight’s personality before the whole child murder thing.

>>42273034
>it made me le uncomfortable I'm so heckin traumatized!!
get off my board you filthy zoomer

>>42273002 (OP)
memeface is not the antithesis of snowpity. It is a temporary expression that doesn't define the mare.

>>42273034
I hope for your sake it doesn't hit too close to home. It's one of the most accurate depictions of OCD I've ever seen in any show. The real OCD, not the fake, quirky one that every millennial pretends to have.

>>42273104
OCD isn't real. It's a meme just like ADHD.

i'm sorry but i find her strangely adorable in some shots like pic related

The best thing about MLP:FIM?
It gets better every season.

>>42273052
Bruuuuuuh, but you know that Feeling Pinkie Keen introduced this and not Lesson Zero?

>>42273152
Kill yourself.
>>42273104
I'd say Frida in Season 1 of Hilda was much better, to the effect that normalfags couldn't understand it and dismissed it as bad (not to say there weren't some problems with the episode in question); I strongly feel that she was watered-down in the subsequent seasons due to this criticism.

>>42273210
“Feeling Pinkie Keen” wasn’t just nonstop meme faces. I’d say Twilight acted mostly like we would expect her to throughout it. Only difference is related to Pinkie and her unexplainable cartoon logic that Twilight’s finally starting to notice.

>>42273063
brain poisoned

>>42273227
Just ignore him. He's obviously not worth replying to, given his niggerish mannerism "bruh" and stretched, simplified reasoning.

>>42273220
>kill yourself
Not an argument. OCD isn't real.

>>42273168
Don't get me wrong, season 2 is classic, and Lesson Zero is a kino episode, it's just that season 2 often sacrifices snowpity for the sake of cartoony zaniness.

>>42273362
Not him, but you realize making statements isn't argumentation either?

>>42273375
>making statements isn't argumentation
Of course, I'm above "arguing". I simply make objectively correct statements that make invalids and peons mad.
Only wrong people argue.

>>42273362
It is unfortunately very real.

>>42273386
Nah, it's fake. Literally just stop having "compulsive" thoughts and stop doing "compulsive" actions. It's not hard.

>>42273365
Season 2 never completely abandoned snowpity and any individual frame from any episode has at least 99% snowpity at any given time. Only Season 3 started to lose it to a significant degree, but even then, it was about 75% on average. Season 4 was actually a step back up, averaging at about 80%. Season 5 stayed mostly the same, arguably slightly more or less, both positions are respectable depending on which parts you’re focusing on the most.

However, by Season 6, we were all the way down to only 10% snowpity. Season 7 was about the same, maybe a slight step up at 15%, but we’re still at critical levels. I would say the movie was a step back up to about 60%, but a different team was working on that, so it’s not fair to say that the snowpity levels went back up, they actually went down in a split way from Season 5, as both Season 6 and the movie had different people from both.

And unfortunately, the downward trajectory reached even new lows afterwards: Down all the way down to 0% in Season 8, with the exception of the Cozy Glow scenes and the Autumn Blaze episodes, both of which have 100% snowpity. When averaged out with those in mind, the season overall would be said to have about 20% snowpity or so.

But by Season 9, even with the Cozy Glow scenes included (not her fault, just the story she was put in), the snowpity is all the way down in the negatives. It actually takes AWAY the snowpity from anyone who makes the mistake of watching that shit. I WANT MY SNOWPITY BACK, GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!! I store that in a very private area, so I feel so violated by the abomination that was Season 9!!!!!!

>>42273397
Yes. That is indeed the exact treatment, as simple and dumb as it sounds, except you can't stop intrusive thoughts, that makes it worse; you have to instead ignore them when they come. Just because the treatment is bizarelly straight forward, doesn't mean the disorder itself isn't real. The cure for obesity is just to eat less, doesn't mean obesity isn't a thing.

>>42273002 (OP)
>a depressive episode looks different than a manic episode
OP is a moron.
And a faggot.

>>42273435
The snowpity crash after the end of season 5 is very real. It's almost hard to pinpoint what it is, but you can definitely feel it.

>>42273517
>you can't stop intrusive thoughts
Yes you can. Literally just stop thinking about whatever it is that's upsetting you.
>doesn't mean the disorder itself isn't real.
It's not real. Saying you have "OCD" is like saying you're "non binary". You just want attention and to be considered "special" without actually doing anything to earn those things.

>>42273524
If a bag of flour is telling you that your friends suck, you are not depressed, you are psychotic. If you think that kids who are laughing while playing aren't laughing because they're having fun, but they're laughing because you are late on a deadline, you are not manic, you are psychotic. Thanks for playing.

>>42273527
>Yes you can. Literally just stop thinking about whatever it is that's upsetting you.
No, you can't. You can't stop the intrusive thought itself, but you can stop yourself from engaging with the intrusive thought. The problem with people who have OCD is that they engage with intrusive thoughts and act as if they are real, not that they have intrusive thoughts in the first place. Everyone has intrusive thoughts.

>It's not real. Saying you have "OCD" is like saying you're "non binary". You just want attention and to be considered "special" without actually doing anything to earn those things.
Just no. You're dumb.

>>42273545
Don't take the bait, anon.

>>42273545
>No, you can't
Yes you can. It's not hard. All you have to do is stop having intrusive thoughts. It's your brain, you control it.
>You're dumb.
I accept your concession.
>>42273556
>Everything I don't like is bait
It's just the truth.

>>42273517
>The cure for obesity is just to eat less, doesn't mean obesity isn't a thing.
idk he kinda got u there doe >>42273563

>>42273556
I'm honestly not sure it actually is bait, but it doesn't really matter, as it's equally worthless to engage with the guy regardless. I'm just wasting my breath.

>>42273568
>[UNRELATED THING] exists? That must mean [THING THAT DOESN'T EXIST] totally exists bro!
No.

>>42273002 (OP)
eeyup

>>42273563
>Yes you can. It's not hard. All you have to do is stop having intrusive thoughts. It's your brain, you control it.
You can stop from engaging with them, not from having them in the first place. Do you actually understand that distinction?

>I accept your concession.
I see, you're one of those.

>>42273591
You misunderstand. The point wasn't that obesity exists, therefore OCD exists. The point was that both problems have simple solutions, one is eat less, the other is do less. Your argument for why OCD isn't real was that the solution to it is simple, which it is, but that does not mean it's not a thing in the first place.

reminder that snowpity was an inside job

>>42273596
>Do you actually understand the distinction?
Yes. Hypothetically, if OCD was real, you would not be able to stop the intrusive thoughts.
Now let's come back to reality, where it is trivial to NOT think about certain things and OCD isn't real.
>>42273608
>Problem
OCD isn't a problem because it isn't real. You cannot solve a problem that doesn't exist. Comparing OCD to obesity is like comparing the time I stubbed my toe to the holocaust.

>>42273625
ur losing this exchange

>>42273636
>exchange
I'm simply stating facts, and retards are getting mad. It's not a debate. It's not an argument. There is no room for doubt in anything I have said itt.
OCD is not real. Simple as.

The m6 have no snowpity. Sorry but it's the truth.

>>42273532
>You can only have one status ailment at a time, don't you know how this works?
Moron.

>>42273625
>Yes. Hypothetically, if OCD was real, you would not be able to stop the intrusive thoughts.
You still don't understand. Think of it like this. Imagine that the intrusive thoughts are like bottles at the liquor store, and that when the customers walk in, they are given a pint of beer. Most people who are given the pint can just easily leave the store without actually buying something, but a recovering alcoholic in withdrawal will be very vulnerable, and may go on a shopping spree and proceed to drink himself into a stupor. Now, like the intrusive thoughts, the bottles are actually there for everyone, but only the alcoholic is seemingly unable to leave the store without engaging with the bottles.

When you're driving a car, everyone may experience intrusive thought about hitting pedestrians, but most people just drive on and don't engage with the thought and proceed on with their day. For a person with OCD, he will start to engage with the thought, for example rationalizing (I can't have hit someone, I must have felt it), or maybe even going back to where the pedestrian was to check whether or not there's a body in the road. That's the difference.

>OCD isn't a problem because it isn't real. You cannot solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Yeah, that one guy I met once who pleaded with me over and over again to make sure that his hands looked clean, I guess he wasn't real.

>>42273674
>alcoholism
Not real either. Try again.

>>42273656
Sad.

>>42273682
No, I don't think I will. I have wasted enough time and energy on you. Have a nice life.

>>42273702
lol

Imagine if Twilight Sparkle used the “want it need it” spell on my cock during this episode

>>42273894
>after everyone leaves, big mac drags you into the bushes

>>42273899
>not scootalo lusting for monkey dick and dragging me to the CMC HQ for a triple gangbang
ngmi

>>42273904
The spell doesn't magically give them an understanding of why they want it, you'd definitely end up getting smacked in the balls or some other awful fate if the CMC found you. Hope for a mare, silly.

>>42273002 (OP)
ok but who had the better mental breakdown?

>>42273932
>CMC end up staring at your dick or cuddling/nuzzling/touching it
I don’t know anon, sounds pretty good to me.

>>42273947
Party Of One is more iconic. Twilight was always neurotic; it felt like a matter of time before she actually snapped completely. Lesson Zero is also a bit more comedic in tone. People take for granted nowadays how out of left field Party Of One actually was, while also not being contrived. No one saw that shit coming. It was downright surreal, almost confusing. It's almost kinda hard to watch, not because it's disturbing, but more so because it's downright tragic

>>42273985
Yeah, it helps that while Party of One is hilarious it's also genuinely sympathetic towards Pinkie whereas Lesson Zero only really ends up being sympathetic towards Twilight at the end. It's a pretty good depiction of BPD.

>>42273002 (OP)
>memeface as an actual argument

Criticisms like that is why we only got blander slop as the seasons went on. Faust was an animator who likes cartoony cartoons and she wanted to make that clear with G4.

>>42274374
But they did MORE memefaces as the show went on. When it became a serious problem was when they did it instead of telling a story. The “story” of “A Trivial Pursuit” is “Twilight Sparkle makes a lot of crazy faces for no reason and completely invalidates any notion of herself as a ‘leader.’”

>>42274384
The reason was that Pinkie was throwing her 'tism trivia game.

>>42273985
I hate LZ because Twilight gets off scott free despite her damage and antics causing an entire town to suffer over nothing. And they just fought a mind altering chaos entity who forces people to do what he wants at the expense of their own safety. PO1 is at least containing Pinkie's nonsense to her own room at home. Shes not leveling city blocks to make ponies party with her.

It's insane to think how popular Pinkomena was back in the day. Honestly, it's surprising (though probably a good thing) that the showrunners didn't lean into it more

>>42273435
S5 suffers from the awkward late season faces pretty bad, other than that it is pretty good
>>42273647
Background ponies are the final holdout of snowpity in late seasons

>>42274624
>It's insane to think how popular Pinkomena was back in the day. Honestly, it's surprising (though probably a good thing) that the showrunners didn't lean into it more
Definitely a good thing, but not that surprising. Though the creators clearly embraced the adult fans, they were always pretty adamant about distancing themselves from the more edgy side, as well as the horny side, of the fanbase. That is with the exception of Tara Strong of course, but she's a different case altogether.

>>42273985
tragic? the slut turned into a school shooter within a few hours of not receiving the attention she selfishly demands from others.

>>42275003
They didn’t distance themselves from the “edginess” when they brutally executed an abused child without trial and then had the snowpityless bastardizations of the characters we’d grown to love all cheer over this horrifyingly evil action. Evil ending! Fuck you, Josh Haber! A million times, fuck you!!!!

>>42275015
She didn’t kill anyone. She was just sad. If it were taken in a more adult direction, she’s much more likely to kill herself than anyone else. It’s tragic because it suggests a deeply disturbed brain that completely breaks at the slightest feeling of insecurity.

>>42275024
>psychopathic pedophile misses the point while shitting out a pathetic excuse for dogshit writing
your posts are comedic gold. interesting that you took offense to school shooter but not slut. i'm praying for all the kids in your school.

>>42273002 (OP)
I think it's really because Pinkie Pie just has god-like levels of snowpity, even compared to Twilight.

>>42275041
>interesting that you took offense to school shooter but not slut.
Why would I take offense to slut?

Also, it was GOOD writing. The best writing ever, actually.

>>42275046
All mares have roughly equal levels of snowpity. Their snowpitys are unique and individual, but snowpity is defined by their mareish essence and in the early seasons, none of them had that more than the others.

>erm ackshually everything past frame 1 of the pilot is irredeemable SHIT and TERRIBLE and PONY SUCKS and POOP
What is the point of these threads?

>Snowpity isn't a transcendent quality regardless of writing quality, whims, and personal opinion
Fucking cringe of you all

>>42275071
To start a fight, of course. It's fun to argue.

Mare snowpity can never be subtracted without the subtractification of the mare herself. Depletion of snowpityness is intrinsically linked to the de-marification of the mare. A mare can never have its snowpity taken away unless their very marehood is assaulted by shitty mare-hating hack writers whose only talent is destruction and are part of the population if infidels who will never know true snowpity.
