Race Pony Characters

Wouldn't it be kinda cool to have pony characters for bronies and such.
I would just love the idea to travel the universe as my OC

 

Come one guys, don't bash their opinions like this. If you don't like something, give constructive criticism about why you do not like it in a non offensive manner. If you continue to bash the user just for posting their idea like this I will be issuing out warnings. I would not allow this in any other topic, this one is no exception.

 

Except there is no constructive criticism to give other than "Ponies do not need to be in every video game ever as they are already extremely prevalent in any gaming community and will be undoubtedly modded in regardless."

I do not care for people needlessly injecting their fanbases into video games, be it web comics or tv shows or whatever god forsaken fad that has become prevalent.

 

I don't really care. People should be allowed to express their ideas no matter how crazy they are. Tiy himself said in mumble "I want people to go as crazy as they can with the suggestions, it is up to the devs to decide if they will use something or not."

 

Doesn't fit lore wise, would need to rework all equipment to fit pony sprites, would need to pay royalties, pandering simply for the sake of pandering, etc.

 

I don't remember bashing him, in fact, all I remember doing is telling him that they're not going to pay the massive royalties to Hasbro just for his sake. That is nothing more than truth.

 

And most people said no with a few others saying things that would be considered bashing. Dislike or opposition doesn't mean it's offensive.

 

Exactly. It's getting to the point of stupidity. No one is saying they can't share their idea, but at the same time, people can say why it is a bad one.

 

should have just deleted this thread or locked it

dunno why you decided to say 'EVERY IDEA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED'. I mean, seriously. look at this thread.

 

Your right. Everyone has the right to an opinion, cliche as the counter-argument is.

However this idea isn't crazy. It isn't wacky, out of the ordinary or zany. In fact it was entirely expected and thats why it was repelled with such prejudice. And the people in this thread also have the right to do that.

You sadly have to deal with the opinions, asinine as "I don't like it" is, thats how freedom of speech works. you hear what you like, you hear what you don't. If one offends you, you aren't going to lose a limb in disgust.

Regardless i'm not going to sit here and continue a social justice crusade or something, I'm sure we both have better things to do.

 

This wouldn't fit in the Starbound universe at all, and it seems like it's mainly a suggestion that's made on a whim because you'd like to see one specific character. There's plenty of other races to choose from, I'm sure you could make do.

 

oh good god, not the pony song. (my horrified face)....sorry I remember one the game website involved pony...and they had that pony song with it....I thought I am going die listening that over and over....

Please if we all can agree we do not put a pony song into starbound I would happy accept the pony into the game, but please not the pony song or anything involved pony like song.

 

huehuehue yeah ponies, sure man.

 

Dude asked "Wouldn't it be kinda cool to have pony characters for bronies and such." And I responded with "No."
Do I have to write a dissertation on this simple idea for it to not be considered opinion bashing?
A simple question was asked and a simple answer given with no bashing of opinion or offensive implications.

In truth, if this guy wanted better discussion of his idea, he'd have asked something more worth discussing.
"Ponies y/n?" is basically what he asked, that is barely anything to start a thread with, there is nothing to critique or offer suggestion on.

 

I'm closing this because it's not being productive at all.

We want people to be able to have their own opinions, so please don't hate on them just because you don't agree.

Some of you took Ghostar's post as a thing directed to you personally. It wasn't directed towards anyone in particular; moreso towards the general attitude that several people have conveyed towards the suggestion. You can disagree, but please keep things civil when doing so.

Good example of criticism:

Bad example:
Saying things like "This is a stupid idea", "I'll burn them if they're implemented", or reporting the thread because you disagree (we received at least 4 reports on this thread with that reasoning, or some form of).

Some people like ponies, some do not. I personally am not a fan of them myself, but that doesn't mean I have to post in every thread about them saying how much I dislike them. If you don't like an idea and can't be civil about it, then go find another thread that you can contribute to in a more positive way.
