Description
[link]Even *she* couldn't prove what her name is.
Can you prove what your own name is? It's only what you and those around you believe it is, after all. Understanding our world often means adopting a belief in the absence of proof, and right now, *she* needs you to believe in her name!

Oh, it's okay Lyra, just go to E-Bay and find some "hard evidence".
You might get a nice doll of you, too.

Not after Hasbro decided it was "Lyra Heartstrings".

The thought of the things that could be on Trollestia's computer scare me. The thoughts of the contents of the alternate incognito account set "Molestia" don't even bear thinking about. Although, the Celestial operating system probably beats Apple by mandate....
Just don't listen to me. It's late and I'm rambling like a drunk.

There is a difference between statements that require proof, and conventions that are merely artificial and has no deep reasons. Names are conventions, the existence of neutrinos is a proven statement.

Your description really makes me want to see Trollestia meet Ludwig Wittgenstein. One million points if she has a "beetle box."

Despite what the 'despotic admins' of the wikia decided to *force* on the fans... It was pretty much decided by MOST fans that she would always be : Lyra (Lyra Heartstrings, for those who want to give a family name).

Lol, I like your description. You should have ended it with "Clap if you believe, and we can change her name back to Lyra!" I liked Lyra better. Plus, until someone SAID that that pony in the bag was Lyra, and her actual name was Heartstrings, I didn't realize that could even come close to being the same pony! She will always be Lyra to me

So Trollestia is the reason? I should have known.

This is an offer; Hurry up and believe in her name now and get a extra 90 bits totally FREE!

I have a birth certificate, a passport, and a drivers licence to prove my name. Oh, and that toy Hasbro made of me. I'm surprised they did that.
Honestly though. Shouldn't we take an official name, no matter how tenuous it is, over something the fans made up? I think so.

The same company that doesn't know what color Celestia is. The same company that thinks Scootaloo is Applejack's sister. The same company that can't get Fluttershy's hair right. The same company that made Pinkie Pie wear a diaper. The same company that gave Applejack a pink hat and truck.
This is your reliable source of information?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
It's still Fluttershy isn't it? It's still Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Pink Celestia is still Celestia. If we are accepting imperfections from them regarding to this. Why can't we accept this toy as Lyra because it's not perfect?
Because the fans are big babies who get way worked up over a little girls show and think they own the show and control canon with their fanon ideas.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who said we have to accept the toys at all? A company that doesn't even know their own characters' color schemes and behaviors doe snot have to be taken seriously, and probably shouldn't be.

Well, human's make mistakes. There's always going to be printing mistakes or other mistakes because people like to hire cheap workers. Hasbro isn't making the toys, they are paying someone else to make them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are paying someone else to make them to their specifications. Even then, Hasbro has to approve of the prototypes before production begins. There's no way that Hasbro was simply ignorant to the flaws. They just didn't care.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because you are all knowing. I think the legal processes they go through are harder to understand for people not involved.
From the way I see it, Bronies were complaining that there weren't enough MLP goods for them, and Hasbro says they'll work on it. They try to cater to Bronies by making some of their favorite background ponies, but they cannot use the names due to legal reasons. Hell, they can't even use some of the names they wanted to use (Gilda=Grizelda, Big Macintosh=Big Apple, Applebloom=Appleseed).
Does it really matter? The toy is obviously supposed to be "Lyra". Pink Celestia is obviously supposed to be Celestia. Etc. Etc. I don't understand why people are flipping shit.

People are "flipping shit" because people are stupid...and that goes for people on both sides of the argument.

There's always stupid people no matter what side of the argument there is, but the facts remain facts.

The same company that owns the copyrights. Yes, I do. Because it's how you rank information.
First you take the primary source, in this case the show; next you fill in the gaps with information from the Extended Universe, in this case, the toys; then, and only then, you listen to bullshit the fans made up.
If the primary source conflicts with the Extended Universe, you take the primary source first. But you never take bullshit the fans made up over either.
Be honest here, if this toy came out when the show first premiered, would you really be questioning it? Would you say, "No, we need to come up with a name other than Heartstrings"? No, you wouldn't! So how is this any different!?

So you're saying that the company that has proven time and time again to be unreliable is reliable.
This is all really simple. Sonic X is not canon to the games, and instead is its own canon. However, both the games and Sonic X were made by Sonic Team. This fact does not mean in any way that Cosmo and Bokkun are canon to the games whatsoever.
Does this clear anything up for you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sonic sucks, so it's irrelevent.
This is a false dichotomy. You're saying because the toys don't match the show every single time, we should just ignore them across the board. That's ridiculous. I'm saying in lieu of another source, like the TV show, we should take the toys as canon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your opinions on Sonic do not matter, and that very statement showed me just how immature you can be.
I'm saying that since the toys are rarely right at all, they shouldn't be considered the same canon as the show.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fine, but that's not what I'm proposing. I'm saying with no other sources, we should allow the toys to fill in the gaps.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see where you'd get that idea, but after this happened, I hope you'll forgive me if I'm reluctant to take their word on such matters.
