Okay, so one would ask: why is this thread technically a joke?

It´s certainly hard to explain because in order to answer that, we have to dive into the whole concept and how this species was made so you will realize how much of a mess there were behind their concept and the idea that they have trying to convey over the years.

You see this thread and technically there is nothing wrong that makes it any different from any other general that would pop up here, on /mlp/ or whatever chan you want to open it. Is this a shitpost then? The post that introduces them is not the shitpost but more like the topic itself was meant to imply that meaning, at least for a long period.

We have to swim across the oceans of the past in this case, the ones that started everything in 1986.
