Horse News Presents: The Gauntlet with Jim Miller, MLP Director

Jim'll Nix It.

Written and filmed by Foal Duke, hosted by Chelis and Shellshock

Now then, now then! At HarmonyCon, amidst the bomb threats and alcohol, editor and self-proclaimed God Chelis tried out a new format with French-rugby-midfielder-lookalike Shellshock. Welcome to The Gauntlet.
    Jim Miller, or Big Jim, current director of MLP FIM, was our victim. The rules were simple. Chelis asks Jim the stupidest, cringiest questions ever heard at a con, and he MUST answer.
    If he answers, 1 point. If hIs response makes Chelis laugh or react in shock, 2 points, whether the response contains an answer or not. 1 point for each other person in the room.
    If Jim avoids or fails to answer, Chelis gets 1 point. If Jim tries to be funny but fails to make him laugh, Chelis gets 2 points. If Jim laughs or reacts to a question, Chelis gets 2 points. Again, 1 point per other person Chelis makes laugh.
    As cameraman, I got to judge. Shellshock counted as a spectator. He is the umpire, and will ask any question he feels can move things along.

Team KP Fires team member for discussing "loving parody" with subject of parody they supposedly love by Liki Weaks

A member of the "I<3KimPossibleAlot" team member was allegedly fired last week for breaking a nondisclosure agreement by displaying ethical behavior. The animator who will not be named was immediately canned upon revelation that he had approached the subject of an upcoming "parody" to get the original creator's blessing on the project, on behalf of ILoveKimPossible. The subject thought it odd that KP did not approach him directly, or even ever speak to him before this encounter.

Today a "teaser" for the "parody" was released, covered in "Fair Use" disclaimers, echoing what the animator had said himself over a discord chat.

Everybody's free (To Wear Deodorant) by Capper General

Bronies and Horsefuckers near the dawn of Season 9:

Wear. Deodorant.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, deodorant would be it.
The social benefits of deodorant have been proven by normies, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience...
I will dispense this advice now.

The Final February Curse - Friendship is Magic is officially over after Season 9 by Capper General

It's official. For real this time. The show's over. Season 9 will officially be the end of the ride for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

6 years after Twilicorn killed us, we're finally dead.

The official announcement reads as such:


"Season 9 will be the last season of Friendship is Magic, but this is definitely not the end for My Little Pony – in fact, it’s just the beginning! As we continue development on our all new CGI movie, we are dedicated to continuing our beloved stories told on multi-platforms and in the coming months we will be able to share our exciting new content plans that promise to entertain and delight our fans in more magical ways than ever before. Stay tuned for updates!"
There is a movie slated for 2021 that will be in CGI, but it's unclear how it will relate to Friendship is Magic.

Big Jim Said This

So here it is guys

One more loop on the friendship coaster then the ejector seats are kicking us off the ride for good

Press F to Pay Respects

Don't you know...you're my very best friends?

Italian Brony / Furry "Matteo Alvarez" accused of preying on underaged girls, sending / soliciting naked photos by Liki Weaks

A reportedly 28-year-old Italian man going by the name of "Matteo Alvarez" (real name unknown) has allegedly been an active sexual predator online for several years now, targeting girls often 14 years of age or younger. He has been an active presence in the Brony and Furry communities since at least 2013, with a long list of screen names and aliases with which he has been contacting his victims purportedly in an attempt to solicit child pornography as well as distribute naked photos of himself. Horse News has come into possession of a number of screencaps, chatlogs, and even photographs of "Alvarez" including an image of his erect penis which he sent to Discord users identifying themselves as underaged girls (aged 12 and 13).

He is well-known to the DeviantArt community as a predator, and reportedly efforts have been made to report him to law enforcement, to no avail as he is still active online.

Fandom Friends Lose Everything in House Fire - Total Loss including 9 Dogs - DONATE HERE TO HELP by Capper General

DONATE HERE

Tragedy struck some of the nicest folks we here at Horse News have ever known. Tyler and Miriam, known perhaps better as Snowflake and Maud on the convention scene, lost everything in a house fire, including 9 dogs.  This happened last weekend while the couple were away en-route to Disneyland, where Tyler planned to propose.

The fire has been deemed a "total loss" and assessed at over $1Million in damages. They're currently living out of a hotel room and could use all the help they can get.

A gofundme was set up by Dusty to help them get back on their feet.

Please spread the word if you can.

/mlp/ no longer on 4chan.org by Capper General

In a turn of events that does not disturb /mlp/'s function as much as its spirit, the Pony board, which has been a part of 4chan.org since early 2012, is no longer a part of that domain.
It, along with all other safe-for-work blue boards have been moved to a new domain called "4channel.org" and attempting to load its former URL redirects you to the new site.

How this will affect the site's identity and cohesion with 4chan as a whole is yet unclear, but it doesn't feel right to look at the top of the browser and see 3 extra characters in the name.
