My little pony is for girls below the age of 13. I mean come on. Grown men should not watch that stuff!

I'm just going to honestly step in here.

Everyone has a choice to be who they want to be. People chose to respect your choices do your best to respect theirs. I have great respect for a number of bronies and furries because they don't lash back at all the condescending media and people who over-react at what their likes entail.

People are people I'm not saying furs or bronies are prefect they got good eggs and bad eggs just like any major interest group.

Do I have a fursona? Yes. Am I going to force it into everybody's face? No. Do I expect someone to not force their vews on me and be able to hold a neutral conversation on it inquiring into the whys and why nots? Yes.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Everyone should have that that's what makes a community just in general better and more welcoming to new folks.

That's my two cents.

Please, please, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I just read to this last page and my eyes are actively trying to kill me for it.
I'm not trying to start a fight here, but I would like to put out there something that I believe may have been evaded;
again this is just postulation but I feel that it wasn't recognized in my scanning of the scuffles being played out via text on this thread.
Suprentus ( God bless ya for serving ) has the opinion, that I find logical and frankly agreeable, that even though this is the off topic discussion section of the forums, that it is to be reserved for BT/MW threads that don't fall into the categories of General Discussion or others, but still BT/MW related. It seems to me, and I agree, that he feels in a manner similar to this:
The internet is literally littered with MLP and other Bronie/Furry forums and sites, and those are the appropriate places for such discussions. Not a site pertaining to this specific Sci-Fi/Military Fiction genre. With this I agree, and is it too unreasonable to approach it from that point of view?

This is the off-topic section, of the off-topic forum. I don't quite know why people don't understand this concept. If you have something MW/BT related, but not on-topic with the game, it goes in Off-Topic Discussions. If you wish to discuss anything else that has nothing to do with BT/MW, it goes in Jettisoned Communication.

People are people, and it's common behavior to find groups that share a common interest, and align with them. The more interests they share in common, the closer the bond.

In other words, because some of us share a love for BT, and ponies, we get along much better than if we socialize with just a generic group of bronies on another website, who may not like BT.

The whole point of having the Jettisoned Communication forum, is so people can post about things they enjoy, outside of MW, and find others who share a common interest.

Would you be equally as mad if I made a topic wondering who was a skydiver, and talking about skydiving? There's plenty of skydiving forums out there. Why discuss it here?

Why talk about Star Wars when there's Star Wars forums?

Why talk about YouTube videos when YouTube clearly has a comment section.

Dude... Really? If I had expected a bunch of bigots to wander in here I wouldn't have started it. I thought that I'd get some intellectual answers and not butthurt people like Suprentus to give me good answers.

This is fair.
Again, purely observation.

And thanks for responding with a level-headed post, not flaming me out of here

...Suprentus had valid points...
And think before you create threads in all honesty, this is the internet; anyone who's been on it for more than 10 minutes knows how things work here and don't pretend otherwise. You left yourself WIDE OPEN for all sorts of response from the community.

Yes, this is the internet, but I can expect a mature community. Too bad it's too hard to find one anymore. There are only two forums I see that are even partially mature anymore. I would have hoped a community with more adults would have more maturity than a ********* paintball forum that has ~8,000 users under the age of 14 but obviously I was wrong seeing the amount of adults more than willing to bash without valid points and the points that they do have are unsupported and over exaggerated.

"Be more mature" says the user named "arsefiend" who watches little cartoon ponies...

Hell yeah I'm saying be more mature, by the way they are acting I'm expecting somebody to shout "COOOTIES!!!111!1!!1!" any moment now.

That's kind of hitting below the belt, especially considering you edited his name.

Ah, so I did, sorry. That was a genuine misreading by me though (nor surprising when you just swap two letters in the middle of the word).

Wow. Just... wow.

You people are the reason the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was included in the Bible.

If you ever feel the need to justify what you are doing this badly, then you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Wow. Just......wow.

You're going to misuse the Bible and compare people who watch cartoons to cities of sinners who had not-so-happy bum sex with one another? Shame on you. You might want to look into that book again and try to understand it this time around.

Being a furry or brony is like a religion and this billboard about sums up what you all need to do.....

Like every thing else in the OFF TOPIC section of the forums nothing . that is what the off topic section is for .for talking about things that are not about battletech. If the powers that be did not want us to talk about non battletech stuff there would not be a off topic section.

[SGT_Stubby]

It comes down to a lot of things different with culture and how people were raised. Some people are not comfortable associating themselves in the same forum as others.

The only thing that makes any of this wrong is this anti-whatever posts/topics. STOP MAKING THEM AND SETTING UP FLAME WARS.

Maybe everyone should step back and think for a minute. This is the internet and you will find people from all parts of the globe with all kinds of different backgrounds. But here is the best part. THEY DON'T HAVE TO ALL AGREE! People are entitled to their opinion. Just let them be. Is it going to kill you? nah. Besides, this is a FAD and it will fade with time.

TL;DR This is absolutely pointless to argue about. Yes, it is really pointless.

True but you also don't kick down the door to someone else church and start yelling about how much you hate their religion which is what some people have been doing in the Pony thread.

I know I'm going to get a LOT of flak for this along with people arguing stupid points on both sides....

Why all the hate? I'm not just going by what I've seen on the forums, but what I've seen on the forums is partially influencing this.

Are people just flipping **** because they don't understand why somebody would see a more animal side to them or watch a TV show that they dont fit the audience for? I am a brony, and I've been called many things including a "gay menace to society that has nothing to contribute by sitting in my mother's basement.". I mean really, are people just so ignorant that they hate what they can't understand and decide to delude themselves to believe a false reality in order to make them feel holier than what they can't understand?

I'm not trying to get anyone to quit hating, I'm just trying to see WHY people are hating. If you hate bronies or furries, tell me why.

Also, I'm not trying to cause trouble, so don't start any. If I've said anything offensive, tell me, if you have something that can actually contribute, say it, if you're going to cause trouble and flame me or others then I would please ask you to not say anything at all. Thank you.

PS: Flameshield: ACTIVATED

there's a billion reasons why to hate them, but the most glaring reason is quite simple really,
In the deepest and most darkest reaches of the internet, furries have been known to--for lack of a better term--do really sick and ****** up ****. Pushing pro-furry beliefs onto their children (imagining being forced by your parents as a child--despite not wanting to--to wear a cat jumpsuit), sexual pet abuse while dressed up as a dog, etc, it's terrible, but then again the argument can be said that a few rotten apples spoil the bunch. as there are right wings and left wings in politics, you've got your moderates as well as your extremes, you've got mega violent muslims, and hard-working, passive muslims; baby eating chineses who assemble your cheaply made chair with lead paint, and the hard working chinese who built the foundations of this country.
Basically when it comes to furries and "bronies" you've got potentially invasive people with potentially invasive and illogical beliefs, attempting to proliferate in a moral world that either isn't ready for them, or doesn't want them
In my opinion, I want to believe the latter though, because extreme bronies and furries scare the living **** out of me
