Sorry for late response. Haven't been on recently. Been busy with computer related things that have been taking up my time. I'm just finally getting the opportunity to respond to things. Necroposting isn't my goal here but to respond to some of the replies that this post has generated.

Which towards the end, a woman stabs the woman choking him. I haven't seen complaints about people who depict woman on woman violence, male on male violence, or female on male violence. It's always male on female violence.
No, I see why people would call it sexist, but that's different from what I was asking. I was responding to the people calling it sexist. If it were a female choking a male, nobody would care except maybe the MRA's. Most Feminists sure as hell wouldn't. So to label this picture as sexist, that's kinda jumping the gun a little. If men and women are to be viewed as equal, then what is the problem with depicting women in the same situations men would also be depicted in? To say "Oh that's a woman, we can't depict her like that, it's sexist." That is the definition of sexism right there. She's a woman, therefore that's not okay? I seriously don't understand the logic here. That sounds more sexist than giving women the same opportunities to be depicted the same as a man would.

Really? It's a man choking a woman

If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!
