We aren't strangers to political messages in fiction. In fact, I'd ague that the vast majority of fiction will inevitably have some kind of political message in it. But is that the right thing to do? If so, what is the correct way to handle it and when has it been done wrong in the past?
Today we're tackling ChucklyFun's suggestion for this topic. Joining us is DJ Skywalker as moderator, Sasha Lace and Neo Anton.

We've got a special treat tonight. As Bootleg Bard's number came up and he got to pick the game, he wanted to play Dragonball FighterZ with anyone else in the server who had the game. However, since Bootleg works on Friday nights, I accommodated and rescheduled the fight to Tuesday. DJ Skywalker and Neo Anton joined in on the round robin.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (G4) has technically ended. In what I can assume is an attempt to tie us over until the next iteration of the franchise, we've been given a new show the last few months - Pony Life. By the suggestion of @KayleeFuhr on Twitter, Brawny will be tackling the topic alongside some friends of the show. How bad can it possibly be?

Greetings, On today's episode, let's talk about the importance of being true to yourself. Remember, every facade will eventually break under the weight of its own maintenance. What happens when we take that to the extreme level of trying to forsake who you are in your entirety? This also plays into the introspective life skills that we should be developing and constantly honing.
This episode seems to have been forgotten by a lot of people, which I find fas...

We're back once again with some Warframe on Friday Night Fights. Archer's number came up to select the game this week and he decided we needed to do some more missions with the talented Swiftyuki.

We've all seen a case where a story changes due to an audience reaction. For better or worse. @MidnightWheat29 wanted to know if this really is a good or a bad thing. So I invited Skan, DJ Skywalker, Caps Lock and Bright Idea on to argue about it. Be sure to let us know what you think.

Princess Heather Blossom is in Florida visiting Brawny. So Brawny took the cheater's way out for an easy stream and used her suggestion to debate the different anime personality tropes of the main six. Oh God.

Long time fan and patron, Cid McConroy had his number come up for Friday Night Fights this week. He wanted to see Brawny play "Warframe" with Princess Heather Blossom. Brawny also invited his friend who got him into the brony fandom in the first place - the very talented Swiftyuki, who also got him into "Warframe" and occasionally play together. This should be a good night for gaming.

I have no idea what I'm getting into. I hope it's not horrible or horribly inappropriate. No joke. I'm writing this description without even having looked at the game yet. But given how Spencer Emerald was so enthusiastic to see mine and Heather Blossom's reaction to this game - it could go either way. So let's try out some Helltaker.

Having stumbled upon Whole Grain, Brawny seeks help resuming his quest. But the old baker from Trottingham has some reservations about Brawny's compatibility with his methods. What will Brawny do now that he doesn't know how to be himself?
This was a pretty interesting look into Discord as a character and what he was willing to do for Fluttershy. I can't say I'm terribly fond of the shipper bait, but it does give a very literal example of Fluttershy killing Disc...

Sweetie Bloom asked Brawny to take a small package to the post office for her. Unfortunately for everyone, Brawny has a penchant for practical jokes.
This strip was inspired by a conversation we had on Heather Blossom's stream - Chaos and Crocheting a few weeks ago.

This week, it was Shadow Blade's turn to pick the game. And he wanted to play BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. So, of course, I brought on Chucklyfun to play with us. As I don't know anyone who knows this game better than he does.

Recently, The Atlantic came out with an article talking about the issue of white supremacy in the brony fandom. Racism in general is a pretty serious issue. But how big of a problem is it really within the brony fandom? And if so, what should we do about it? To help me discuss this issue, I reached out to Peter New and Firebrand - both of which have very interesting takes on the issue. Perhaps we can all learn more together.

Sometimes the only thing you can do is own it.
Based on a true story. Evan of Mystery Brony Theater 4000 and I were there at the Grand Brony Gala in 2015. While syncing the cameras for the dinner show, the clappers broke in half and dropped to the floor right in front of the VIP guest table. It was a little embarrassing.

Behold, by request of SazerLite, Brawny's first attempt at a real time strategy type game. However doesn't this beg the question of whether or not all games are real time strategy types? Either way, ChucklyFun too will be joining the action to commentate - as he's a big fan of this game as well.

This week, Patreon supporter SazerLite requested we talk about the differences of idealism and realism in fiction as well as the merits and disadvantages of each. So I brought him on along with two other highly experienced writers, David Silver of Ponyfinder fame and Sasha Lace.

Brawny’s days are actually pretty busy. Even slow days need to be spent networking and building the portfolio. Persistent back pains don’t make anything much easier. But friends make everything better.

"Were the elements of harmony a well woven story element or a stupid macguffin?"

Greetings everyone, Today I’ve got an episode that stumped me for a long time. But then once I got thinking on it, a lot gushed out and caused me to realize how frustrating Prince Rutherford was. The result is a script pulled from a lot of personal experience. So today we’ll be discussing the importance of being there to help your friends, despite when they resist your assistance. As well as the consequences of being the type of person that rejects help when ...

For this week's game, my newest patron Moonbeam suggested that we play "Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes" with her friend - a fellow streamer by the name of Req. You can check him out here:
https://www.twitch.tv/ussxrequin/ I've never played this game before. But I've also heard that it's better that way. Let's all find out together.

Oh boy. That's a heck of a topic, isn't it? We can thank @dankopus on Twitter (https://twitter.com/dankopus) for this suggestion. First, we'll have to define what failure would be and see if it meets that criteria. So I brought on my good friends Chucklyfun and Zeus, who are big fans of the game. Should make for an interesting conversation.

We all know that Friendship is Magic is one of the best shows ever. Sadly, that iteration of the franchise has largely come to an end. So now Cellspex, DJ Skywalker and Skandranon are going to discuss if there's anything that can match this in quality.
