To put it all into perspective, and finally silence the debaters once and for all, here is the truth of the matter: Humans are not all bastards, neither are we all saints. Saying humans are “flawed” hits quite a bit closer to the mark.
 
“But whence cometh the evil in our world!?” cries the Chorus. A very good question.
 
To drive the point home as concisely as possible, I’ll use a more extreme example. Hitler comes to mind. Regardless of his motives, he was the direct cause of some of the greatest evil the modern world has seen, and he was German. Were all Germans at that time as bad as Hitler? No. Were all Germans even on his side? Of course not. To broaden the spectrum even further, look to the people that you encounter every day. There may occasionally be the odd person who should probably be living in a doom fortress; and also a few who would earn a high five from Mother Teresa. But most of the people in the world today are just sort of there doing their own thing.
 
The only reason we have the stereotype that “humans are pricks” is because of the loud-mouthed, powerful few. So when you think about it, it’s a vicious cycle: Powerful people get corrupted by their power, get more power, and get corrupted further (repeat). Of course there are exceptions, but by the very deffinition of the word, they are few.
 
So my friends (and I know there’s no way I can say this without sounding like an ultra-libertarian, Guy Fawkes-mask-wearing, conspiracy-theory-writting, paranoid schizophrenic screaming “DOWN WITH GOVERNMENT!” and thereby inadvertantly invalidating my point somewhat), that’s the source of the crap in the world today: like the trouble-maker in 2nd grade that got the whole class in trouble, there’s just a handful of assholes ruining it for the rest of us.

I’m with 441TheSecond. I am actually not a fan of this comic. Too depressing. Too anti-human. It makes it seem like being human is a disease.

STOP REPOSTING THIS ALREADY!

I would take her away to try to use her as a ‘key’ to cross over.
 
…And then I would take that mirror, and put it in a maximum security prison.
 
Bastards? Yes. There’s too many bastards here. I can’t stand the competition. So, Princess, I’m sending them all to you. :D
 
Have fun my little ponies, do send me reports on how your new guests work out! I will so relish reading them. Strokes a fat white cat menacingly from a fancy leather chair

@Background Pony  
Sorry, but that is such a load of bullshit.  
I’m not saying that humans are flawless perfect individuals, but every day, people cure diseases, create art, defend the weak, fight hunger, and explore the unknown.  
These people COULD have been bastards, but choose not to, because good is what truly moves a society.  
So, are you a bastard?

>implying that ponies are perfect in first place.  
nah, i like to think that “humans are flawed” is better.

But Rig, Humans ARE bastards. I’m pretty sure they’d do worse like actually take her away and slice her open in a faculty that nobody knows of, just to see what makes em tick. Or they’d torture the dude for information on equestria so they can kill everyone for resources.

if seems that for some reason you can’t do a “<_<” emoticon in the normal way, why?

this again? and this is the complete version, “humans are bastards” is so overrated <_<

Why does all of these have to be saddywaddy and armcuttastic? I demand something happy

Oh this again.

I agree with the people who hate this comic.
 
I also hate how it posits innocence as some sort of ultimate ideal, that returning to that childlike innocent state where everything is new and wonderful is a goal to strive for. It isn’t - innocence is a form of ignorance, and it is a limited state of being. Read some William Blake dammit.

Oh god I hate this comic. It’s much worse in the original version where the guy beats her with a bat to give her memory loss.  
What I hate about this comics like this is that it’s clear whoever makes them, or any other “Humans are evil, ponies are pure innocent good” works, is that they obviously don’t watch the show. If they did they would know that ponies are not perfect. They have greed, jealous, angry, arrogance, bullying, lying, bribery, blackmail, etc that occur naturally in the world.

HERP DERP HUMANS ARE EBUL!!! I HATE HY00MANZ SO MUCH!!! I WISH I WAS A PONEE!!
 
Disgusting misanthropic bs, the art is nice though.

omg its so <3

“human are bastards”, i am so tired of that trope…

Oh gee, where I have I seen this plot before?

Celestia H. Faust, I am _astonished that this hasn’t been uploaded yet! Oh well…more credit for me for doing so…^^
