I tried watching it with an open mind, and to me it's just another cartoon for kids. Not particularly bad, but not anything I'd want to watch, either. It gets annoying when bronies continually imply that the only way one could not care for this show is if you haven't watched it yet. Have you considered that maybe some…

You don't know what his actual intentions are. For all you know, he's privately laughing about the homeless guy AND that people like you would hate instead of appreciate him if you only knew.

So suppose I don't like Skechers, and think they are bad shoes, only fit for people who have literally no alternative, and I find this funny, does that make the cop a monster again? Because I mean, according to Jezebel, if you do anything nice for the homeless that anyone on the internet finds funny in any way, you're…

So, we should have more empathy for the homeless, but on the other hand we should never perform any charity for them that anyone anywhere might find humorous in any way. Gotcha.

It gets more enjoyable when I consider the pearl-clutching circle-jerk in the comments here of people who think I'm literally Hitler for doing something nice for someone in need that also privately brings me humor.

I dunno, if I were going to freeze to death I'd be grateful to get a free jacket that prevents that, regardless of who thinks it's funny. I seriously wouldn't care. Maybe you would, but nobody's forcing anyone to take a jacket here. If you think it's undignified to take donated goods, you can just not take them.

I'm going to personally buy some swag from my rival schools, donate them to the homeless, laugh about it in private, and there's nothing you can do about it. How does that make you feel?

It IS pearl clutching to point to this as if it's the worst thing that homeless people have to deal with. Besides the obvious, homeless people have to deal with scorn and derision from people they actually see on a daily basis. Getting a free jacket that people on the internet are going to laugh about without their…

Seeing as most homeless people don't have internet access, when they receive their Cornell jacket or whatever, they would have no idea that this site even exists, or that some people are laughing about it over the internet. If anything, they'd just be grateful for the jacket because there would be no indication to…

All I'm saying is that this is an extremely mild example of the kind of shit homeless people have to deal with on a daily basis, so it's kind of ridiculous to get all up in arms over it. The fact that they'll have warm jackets outweighs that some kids having a laugh at their expense (that they won't even know about).

Homeless people ARE treated like shit, but I seriously can't think of a more trivial or inconsequential instance of it than this to raise such a huge stink about. I find it hard to believe that you, having experienced what you claim, find this to be particularly egregious and worthy of our public disapproval.

You are saying that these people shouldn't have to endure wearing these clothes because someone might find it funny. Guess what, a lot of people are assholes to the homeless anyway, and making out this instance to be a particularly bad example of shitting on homeless people is naive at best and misleading at worst.…

Also I agree that preventing homeless people from freezing is cruel, if we were more humane we'd let them die quickly by taking all their clothes away.

Sure, you can label it as such. Is it hard to clutch your pearls and pat yourself on the back at the same time over the most trivial and inconsequential instance of people shitting on the homeless?

It comes off as really arrogant, privileged, and sheltered when you act like your idea of what constitutes dignity is more important to a homeless person than whether or not they freeze to death. You probably have no idea what most of them have gone through and think they're just as incensed as you at this one thing…

Also, of course you can care about both survival and dignity. But there's this weird concept called priorities. It means that you care about things in proportion to how important they are. If you ask me, someone's dignity doesn't matter that much if they just died of exposure. Therefore, in this case and in most…

So why is your assumption that people care more about being made fun of than their survival more valid than my assumption that the opposite is true? So we're only allowed to project our values onto the homeless when they align with those of Jezebel commenter itwalkedonmypillow. Good to know.

Why don't you give them the dignity of letting them decide if they are offended or not, rather than you projecting your privileged values all over them?

More homeless people would be helped by this thing (if it ever gets off the ground) than will be helped by your impotent pearl-clutching. I'm sure the homeless appreciate free stuff that they need, even if it's part of a dumb joke, more than your online "advocacy".

So you think that it's wrong to give homeless people stuff if said giving causes someone to laugh, and in fact that people who do this don't care about them? Maybe not, but the homeless benefit more from this dumb joke than they do from your impotent pearl-clutching, so shut it.
