Not only is the whole point of the GYPSY BARD that Pinkie is a GYPSY, but that's her entire character in Friendship is Witchcraft, which the song comes from. Y'know, the abridged series that has the autistic cringe Luna and Incestuous Murder Dictator Twilight. I will never understand the SJW compulsion to consume offensive media then proceed censor it as if the offensive element wasn't the only reason it was funny/well-known to begin with.I know this isn't technically SJW Art but just how you remove one single word from a song because "IT'S A SLUR!!!!!!!!!" and then post it? Damn, bruh. You're so brave, you want a medal with that?
and tbh I used to think "gypsies" were fictional creatures like fairies or witches until this huge trend of "don't say the G-word IT'S A SLUR!!!" started. At what point do we let words fade into obscurity and stop associating them with their historical lineage? 'Cause maybe gypsy is a slur to a handful of people, and if it's genuinely as bad as the N-word I'll stop using it, but as far as I know "Gypsy is a Slur" definitely wasn't common knowledge to anyone until a few years ago, and it definitely wasn't something you'd call a random brown person. It was just this idea of like...a colorful fortune-teller witch. You wouldn't call someone a gypsy in the same way you wouldn't call an Irish person a leprechaun, it wasn't like...why would it even be an insult?? I didn't even think gypsies were a specific race. It could've totally evolved into a benign folklore if the SJWs left it alone. Now they've picked the scab open and made things worse.
