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.

or maybe that happened in a sabre match... but still WHY SHARP?

@Adrian: The fencing swords are thin enough that a quick enough swipe could probably cut some hairs. I think.

^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

Well then maybe it got tangled in her hair and they had to cut it out

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

you're not the problem, it's these people trying to rationalize the impossible with the most contrived explanations.

@535960 Hey, rationalizing is fun. I should know, I'm a troper.

No eye protection? Given the size of a pony eye that seems like a bad idea.

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.

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.
