So, since there's nothing to occur wrt Marefair - at least not until next year - is anyone gonna get mad if I annex this thread?
>>10970
Annex it for what, exactly?
I noticed that there was a lot less enthusiasm for Mare Fair on /mlpol/ compared to last year. Was 2025 a lacklustre gathering?
I've never been to a convention before, but I've always been curious about the tulpa panels Mare Fair had. Might any of the attendees seen anything related this time around? I looked in the Google Docs spreadsheet and didn't find anything relevant.

different anon here
I'd say no, just that we were all too busy running around saying hi to friends, and in my case, vending at the same time.
I did see a few of you guys, but at least I was way too busy doing things to post more mlpol or hang out much.
You guys will thank me later because my next big project is going to be yuge™
at least until I get over this coof, can't start yuge™ projects until I feel better.

Figure 1 is a post made by Ninjaz, today.
Figure 2 is the last post made on this site by Nigel, aka Glimmernigel aka SilverStarApple aka SparkapocalypseVanguard aka Jason Godwyn. Both posts were made from proxies because both users were banned at the time they posted.
I would like to call attention to the following common traits between the two posts:
>autobiographical blogposting
>attention whoring
>bad formatting and grammatical errors
>persecution complex
>"I am not the problem, (You) are the problem"
>"haha I'm not even mad, that's why I'm typing this, to show you how not mad I am"
>"why should I respect u if u don't respect me"
I offer no further context as to why these two screencaps are displayed together. Users are free to read both posts and to draw their own conclusions. Alternatively, users can choose to just ignore both of these fuckwits, forget about silly internet drama, and go read a book or something or go outside.
Figure 3 is a cute picture of a pony wearing a firefighter costume. I didn't attach it for any particular reason; just enjoy it.
That is all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

sorry, still recovering from being sick
went to both the convention last year and the dinner this year. what about it?
convention was great this year. felt like I was busier this year than last, and didn't go to as many things for that reason.

I actually went to a lot more panels than last year, spent less time lobbyconning. My only complaints were not enough con store merch stock, and I wish they’d just let me pay $200 or whatever with my badge to preorder all of it

Shoutout to /nomad/ Long Island Iced Tea anon,... yes you with the VERY aesthetic Aryanne button-up t-shirt.
How are things? Rooting for the best. If the job search doesn't pan out, don't hesitate to post about it.
If you're scratching your head at this post, it's in reference to a long antiquated thread where anon became a homeless nomad for a while. He was at marefair, we had several discussions.

It's changing venues and has at least 6 months to find a new one. It'll probably be within 50km of the Rosen Center too because it's Orlando. Maybe at the Marriot, the Mare-iot

Discussion started about this in a thread on /mlp/, of course it got deleted.
Anyway, I decided to read that article, some real golden lines in that thing:
>Cites the infamous Atlantic article and fucking BronyFandon't in the very first paragraph (off to a great start!)
>Anonymous quote about how bad MF is in that same paragraph
>"milking fandom with silver coin sales and his own cryptocurrency" (referring to Corp, of course they don't bother searching for what he has to say for himself: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/39411882/#39421031 )
>puritan screeching about "explicit adult references" and horse pussy
>"The silver coins that [Corp] pushed are loaded with more 4chan and horse vagina references. What a coincidence." (A coin celebrating /mlp/ contains /mlp/ references, absolutely insane)
>"Both men [Corp and Lightsolver] are on the articles of incorporation." (this leads to a broken link kek)
>Bullshit about furfag-Brony/Horsefucker ties
>Random anonymous comment from Horse News (which they only now realise is a 4chan thing, kek) used as source of early disapproval of MF
Of course, the fact that said comment was expressing concern over MF being a scam (which time has proved it is definitely not) is never mentioned.
>"Sethisto fired his right-hand staffer, Calpain, for trying to get him to stop harboring problem people with right-wing bias. Channers doxxed Calpain and got him fired as a teacher."
Another uncited/anonymous source. Funny part is that neither Calpain nor Seth would really agree with this:
<Today he pulled my admin privileges fearing that because I dislike him I might delete the blog. [Calpain]
<EQD won't be the same without him. There is no world at all where I'm going to ever match that. I'm the polar opposite. [Seth]
First time I hear of Calpain getting fired from his job. If that's true, I assume it'd be over this (funny how the puritan furfags conveniently don't bring this up) https://mlpol.net/sp/24929#24941
>Sources for this story draw a direct line from 2017, when 4chan merged /mlp/ and nazi sub-boards, as an April Fool’s joke that never really went away.
The classic triptych of "doesn't know Aryanne threads were common before 2017", "thinks /pol/ is all nazi", and "misusing board terminology"
>Eventually, deeply involved people quit fandom due to “noticing weird stuff”. They mention people carrying sex dolls out in the open and Foalcon
Sourcing is really weak in the article, ain't it?
>Some stuff about musicians being paid in crypto
Another classic fabrication. See https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/39643403/#39647436
>Muh nazi shit (ignore the actions that MF took against it)
>Mare Fair actively tried to suppress people from talking about it, including threatening fake legal action
That's the shit that gatorfag was trying to spread, ain't it?Funny how they still don't have any proof of it being fake aside from "it seems to be so".
>Look at this fag MF apparently hired and then fired! Please ignore that last part!
The rest of the article is bitching about Lightsolver (...fair enough, but he wasn't even on MF staff as far as I'm aware?) and trying to convict Corp of being a zoophile (because of an incomplete archive and a vague policy of allowing "NSFW (including of actual horses)", for the thought of that policy being directed to horses fucking other horses did not come to the furfag's mind). Oh, and more whining about crypto. And Neighcon.
Long story short, it's a shit article. Some Wikipedia articles that mentioned MF now have it cited as a source (this, of course, caused some worry in the 4chan thread). I personally don't think it would be that hard to prove that, at least in this case, Dogpatch is an unreliable source.

Remember that shitty Dogpatch article? Made a paste about it. It's essentially complete, but it lacks refinement. Feel free to post criticism, suggestions for improvement, things to add, all the usual. In particular, a comprehensive outline of all the Lightsolver nonsense (I haven't kept up with it that much) would be much-appreciated.

Updated paste. In short:
>The paste is now set to public
>Main change: added a long summary section (maybe a bit too long? Too compact? Not sure)
>Added a short to-do at the start
>Changed tags
>A few minor fixes and changes (e.g. changed articled to article)
>Renamed that miscellaneous section from near the end
As before, criticism is very welcome.

The original plan I had in mind to expand the paste was to tackle BronyFandon't's claims that DP regurgitates directly (in fact, I already have some things written up). Well then, seems I have to put that on hold for now.
Some quick thoughts.
Let's start with the biggest thing. An otherwise small section called "Insight from the pony fan community". What is it about?
>A long message came in response to a mention above of “Foalcon”
<I have some information that hasn’t been widely discussed [...] The fandom’s top content sites have long harbored and promoted foalcon, normalizing it to the point where speaking out against it often leads to severe backlash. The far-right and pedophiles frequently control these spaces, making dissent difficult [...It goes on and on]
Holy. Shit.
In the paste, when I got to their mention of Foalcon, I made a small joke that one of their sources is Databyte and that this is his way of enacting revenge on channers for stopping his anti-foalcon crusade before it could even start. Turns out that "joke" is, at least to some extend, a reality.
So then, anons. The second crusade (or jihad if we're going by HK47's conventions) may be upon us. Stay vigilant, be prepared.
Now for some other points.
>section about Lemon Drop
To be honest, he kinda fucked up with that zoophilia comment. You could've left it at "fiction ain't real", but noooo, you gotta mention zoophilia. I get what he was trying to say (or at least I hope so), but... c'mon, think about your wording.
LD, make a clarification for fuck's sake, no one's going to do it for you.
>[The DDoSing segment]
Fun fact - on their Bluesky, they first claimed this DDoS'er was somehow related to MF sponsors, if not a sponsor themselves. Seems they changed their mind on that, probably because they don't have any evidence.
>Corrections about Equestria Daily
Turns out Calpain isn't very happy about not being contacted by DP in the making of the article. Gee, I wonder why.
>Disingenuous excuses for Mare Fair
It's the section that there's most to write about, and it's also one that requires some (probably minimal, will see) research to be done to properly respond. Some things I immediately notice: complaining over MF choosing to ban *all* political symbols of totalitarian ideologies, not realising the connotations of "milking", wanting MF to impose an unenforceable policy...
So yeah, such is the state of things. Much work is to be done.
