To be continued…

OOC: Just a little update as to what’s up. As one of you may know, I’ve started Summer school and my class started last week and lasts 4 more weeks. That might not mean a lot to you, but to give some context, this class is usually conducted within 16 weeks over the usual semesters.

This means things are flying hard and fast and there’s a very good chance I’m simply not going to have time to update this blog for a few weeks. It just simply depends on what’s demanded of me from this class.

Despite that though, I do have plans to start a modblog probably sometime next week, maybe even Sunday so I can start talking more openly to my followers without flooding this ask blog. :)

Thanks for your continued support guys! Stay awesome!

(Also, feel free to hit me up with any constructive criticism of my works as well. I need to improve my craft just like anyone else, and no matter where you are at your own level of art, you still might see something I missed.)

Birthday art for the renowned Chocolate Pony!
I’m sure there are plenty of other people who’ve said their peace far better than I could, so I’ll just leave it at I hope you feel better soon.
Sincerely,
Clover.

You over-zealous and self-righteous halfwit. Btw, OOC for those of you reading along.

fuck-no-my-little-pony:

“The biggest excuse people are using “Oh, [people send death threats and have hissy-fits] in every fandom.” Does that make it okay? Not really.”

You purposely miss the point of their argument/position in the stylings of a true faux news commentator. What they’re trying to get you to see, which you sort of concede later on in your post of your own accord with your comments toward “sane bronies”, is that you really can’t project the ills of a few onto the majority.

I mean really, the whole fandom is total and utter shit because a handful of self-identified bronies sent death threats to Yamino? Ridiculous. You don’t even believe that else you’d have completely separated yourself from the “sane bronies” as they’re, *gasp*, part of said shitty fandom that’s utter and total shit to you.

“It seems like you are really trying to defend your shitty fandom to the death.”

No, I have no stock in it really; I feel no need to defend myself. You just really rustle my jimmies with your sweeping judgment of other people, because as I recall, you reblogged a post in judgment of those that decided to make R34 Lauren Faust Pony porn, the post in question.

That’s right, apparently posting a nude cartoon horse with genitalia in a sexual manner is a matter of ethics as it’s “morally wrong” simply because it’s a “poni-fication” of Lauren Faust, and really, you know which camp sides with this, the anti-R34 bronies. Your welcome to your opinions, but being overly butt-hurt over the portrayal of cartoon ponies in a sexual manner just makes me realize how the dark ages really aren’t that far away in human history. How artists had to justify their nude paintings and drawings to a bishop or cardinal back in the renaissance for fear of being against the church, which is where this sentiment comes from. This anti-sex, sex is bad, the naked body is vile is completely christian influence. C’mon people! You’ve all been to a museum once, right? See Greek statuary? How the genitalia is there for all to see? Ever see the Roman remakes of the Greek Statues? What’s the big difference? The DAMNED FIG LEAF. What happened? Simple really, before christianity, the human body was a thing of beauty, after christianity? It was a distraction from god, hence sinful/evil/etc. etc. etc. And now we have to deal with this backward society in which we can see someone get shot to death and beheaded on TV, but heaven forbid we see women’s breasts or 2 people making love on the screen! Wouldn’t want to screw up the kids with too much love, but violence and death is JUST PEACHY-KEEN!

If you have such a problem with pony R34, you really ought to take a second and reflect on why exactly you hold that belief, where exactly did that stem from. But really, if you don’t like it, just ignore it. No one is forcing you to seek it out.

And to be completely clear: if you personally don’t like R34 ponies, that’s fine IMO. I really have no issue with you. It’s when you start saying it’s a matter of MORALITY instead of choice preference that irks me.

“Its funny. They think me calling the fandom shitty is taking it a bit far.  Well, I think threatening and sending hate mail to someone’s house over a pony is a bit too far. They say that I am immature for saying the fandom is shitty? Well I think calling a black girl cosplaying as Twilight Sparkle a nigger is “immature.” I also thinkg the oodles of shit I got on this blog is taking it a bit far and immature.”

And you’re the self-appointed good shepard standing in moral indignation on the brony community, and in all your benevolence you’ve decided to associate me, a brony and all other bronies as we’re all apart of this “shitty fandom”, with death threats and calling african americans niggers. You go too far because the sweeping vast majority of us haven’t sent death threats or called anyone a nigger. Your criticisms do not apply, but that doesn’t stop you from projecting them on the entire fandom that isn’t part of your super-cool-kids club you dub the “sane bronies”.

“Defend your fandom to the death guys, its not really going to change my opinion. Sane bronies, the sane side of the fandom, I love ya to death. You guys are cool, the show is cool, you can produce nice looking art work and orginal ideas, but I’m sorry, your fandom is shitty. You know your fandom is shitty when the fans themselves say its shitty.”

See what I mean? Either we’re with you and the “sane-bronies” or we stand as the part of the community sending death threats and calling people niggers. Color my jimmies rustled.

And as a word on Yamino and the Derpy fiasco: I hate Yamino’s opinion on Derpy, I found it particularly ignorant and judgmental on her part as she and those like her projected the idea Derpy was a retard and the center of negativity when the rest of us didn’t come to that conclusion. Do I think she should be killed because of her opinions? No, of course not. I don’t even think she should be harassed for it. I’m more or less just disappoint.

As for you, fuck-no-my-little-pony, you’re welcome to your opinions as well and your Neo-McCarthy crusade digging into every nook ‘n’ cranny trying to dredge up what ever slop you can throw onto the community you want, but that’s all it really is, muckraking of the same quality as yellow journalism at best.

Sure, there are bad seeds in the community, in every community, and no one likes them. Welcome to humanity. You wouldn’t be getting half the flak if you had just been more specific with your judgment and pointing out these particular bronies here and there or at least with a disclaimer such as, “If you haven’t sent a death threat to yamino, this doesn’t apply to you,” but no, go on, keep using that broad sweeping brush and bask in all the drama and attention-whoring, which really is your primary reason for being on tumblr from what I’ve seen and read thus far.

Thank you and good night.

..we’re still kind of under construction here!

(OOC: It’s true that there are a lot of reblogs and random stuff in this blog and I have been meaning to clean it out to more or less streamline this blog. The problem is that I’m really busy! Most of the updates I make really ought to have been spent toward class work but I just felt compelled to post ponies instead meaning I’m constantly behind.
As for WHY I reblog any particular post or post something up that has nothing to do with Clover, it depends. A lot of the occupyallstreets reblogs I felt were important enough to merit reblogging for other peoples’ information. For the birthday posts, it was a nice gesture, but I kind of stopped doing birthday posts for 2 reasons:
1. Time, or the lack thereof.
2. I was worried that it was coming off that I only made the art in an attempt to mooch followers off other people or something.
Followers are nice, and I appreciate the ones I have, but I’m not doing this to be Tumblr famous, and technically it’s not like I personally know Rai, DeadRainbowDash, Ahmeds(RaindropsAnswers), though I love their work and I think they’re totally awesome.
So when like… say Zach Morris’s b-day came up, I kind of wanted to do an Ask Surprise birthday post, but… well yeah.
Anyway, I do plan to clear out a lot of the old posts not pertaining to Ask Clover, probably repost a great many of them in a modblog, though I think I’ll just delete the SOPA ones as that’s practically ancient news now.

Also just a head’s up! I finally reached 195 followers! So you know what that means! A 200 follower milestone post will be on it’s way shortly(*Cough*Next few weeks*cough**cough*)! :D
Thanks for being so awesome guys!)

CISPA Replaces SOPA As Internet’s Enemy No. 1 (Must Read)
The Internet has a new enemy. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (CISPA), also known as H.R. 3523, is a “cybersecurity” bill in the House of Representatives. While CISPA does not focus primarily on intellectual property (though that’s in there, too), critics say the problems with the bill run just as deep. 
As with SOPA and PIPA, the first main concern about CISPA is its “broad language,” which critics fear allows the legislation to be interpreted in ways that could infringe on our civil liberties. The Center for Democracy and Technology sums up the problems with CISPA this way:

    •    The bill has a very broad, almost unlimited definition of the information that can be shared with government agencies notwithstanding privacy and other laws;    •    The bill is likely to lead to expansion of the government’s role in the monitoring of private communications as a result of this sharing;    •    It is likely to shift control of government cybersecurity efforts from civilian agencies to the military;    •    Once the information is shared with the government, it wouldn’t have to be used for cybesecurity, but could instead be used for any purpose that is not specifically prohibited.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) adds that CISPA’s definition of “cybersecurity” is so broad that “it leaves the door open to censor any speech that a company believes would ‘degrade the network.’”
Moreover, the inclusion of “intellectual property” means that companies and the government would have “new powers to monitor and censor communications for copyright infringement.”
Furthermore, critics warn that CISPA gives private companies the ability to collect and share information about their customers or users with immunity — meaning we cannot sue them for doing so, and they cannot be charged with any crimes.
According to the EFF, CISPA “effectively creates a ‘cybersecurity’ exemption to all existing laws.”

“There are almost no restrictions on what can be collected and how it can be used, provided a company can claim it was motivated by ‘cybersecurity purposes.’” the EFF continues.
“That means a company like Google, Facebook, Twitter, or AT&T could intercept your emails and text messages, send copies to one another and to the government, and modify those communications or prevent them from reaching their destination if it fits into their plan to stop cybersecurity threats.”
