Ooo, that looks bad. Then again, I have short hair. |
| -Drifter- #535866 9 months ago |
This makes no sense. |
| AdrianBrony #535870 9 months ago |
okay, what sort of crazy fencing club fences with sharp blades... and how would an epee even cut like that?
or are those foils. I think those are actually foils, but my point still stands. |
| AdrianBrony #535872 9 months ago |
yeah those look too floppy to be epees |
| AdrianBrony #535878 9 months ago |
or maybe that happened in a sabre match... but still WHY SHARP? |
| dragonSpike #535879 9 months ago |
@Adrian: The fencing swords are thin enough that a quick enough swipe could probably cut some hairs. I think. |
| Anonymous #535892 9 months ago |
^if they could cut some hairs, they could cut some fingers. |

@dragonSpike
I was in a fencing club for a year. nothing in there can do that sort of thing. if they could they would not use them. plus, if the other person was swinging a foil around in such a way that it would slice hair if it could, he is playing very wrong and very dangerous and would likely get kicked out |
| dragonSpike #535906 9 months ago |
Well then maybe it got tangled in her hair and they had to cut it out |
| AdrianBrony #535908 9 months ago |
the only thing remotely dangerous about them is if a blade breaks (it happens.)
that makes a sharp tip that can very easily injure someone if the players don't drop the broken sword as soon as possible. |

^^Only time I've seen a fencing weapon (sabre in all cases, IIRC) draw blood is when it's either broken, caught an ungloved hand, or hit a gloved hand right on a knuckle.
Also, Damnit Octavia! What would your coach say if he saw you fencing without a mask? NEVER raise a sword against someone not in a mask! If you lose an eye how will you read all that beautiful cello music? |

Can we just accept that the artist doesn't know anything about fencing? |
| AdrianBrony #535938 9 months ago |
yeah, sorry. I was just poking funa t it. |

@AdrianBrony
you're not the problem, it's these people trying to rationalize the impossible with the most contrived explanations. |
| HeinousActsZX #535986 9 months ago |
@535960 Hey, rationalizing is fun. I should know, I'm a troper. |
| Anonymous #536021 9 months ago |
No eye protection? Given the size of a pony eye that seems like a bad idea. |
| Blockhead134 #536032 9 months ago |
@heinousacts SHAME on you! Octavia can never look less then amazing! its just a fact. |
| Anonymous #536112 9 months ago |
Those appear to be Epees judging from the shape of the guard/hilt. I imagine Foils are a little flatter.
And yes, for shame, not wearing a mask. That's how accidents happen. And unless you're using actual rapiers or such (and why would you?), you shouldn't be cutting anyone. *reminisces about his college days on the fencing team* |

Is fending some kind of brony sport now?
What the f**k is with this comment section?! It's a joke! Anyway, about my fencing experience, yes, she should be wearing armour, and yes, an epee probably couldn't cut it. But a bigger foil probably could if done right. |

impossible.
I was flicked with a sabre after a sore loser lost to me after a bout. |
