What really grinds your gears?

[Ziggy and Angelbaby]

pony torture games.

I really wish you were making that up, but somehow, I know you're not, and it makes me a little bit deader inside.

As disgusting as I'm sure that nonsense is, I don't want to believe that it actually hurts the ponies. And people use the lamest excuses for why crap like that is "OK"; it's even worse that it's often MEMBERS OF THE FANDOM that support that sort of thing.

I think the best thing any of us can do is show as much love as we can to our respective pony (or non-pony) partners. Anyone can be cruel; it requires nothing but the willingness to be cruel. Compassion and kindness are things that require a measure of decency, patience, and empathy; they're worth far more than something as base and "easy" as cruelty.
