This hole thing has started to grow to some kind of religion.

"I like da Pony´s, and you shall not say bad things about da ponys, cause da ponys didnt harm you!"

And what if they annoy me like hell? :huh:
And what if i am weary to discuss this? :D

If the Ponie-lovers could now please stick to their thread while the haters please stick to theirs? :D

Since the watched show "Friendship is magic" is clearly say for all public's (understand, familly, boy's and girl's, no matter the age).
Your arguement is quit invalid.

It was clearly said by Lauren Faust herself that the show was created for everybody.

(ever heard of Foster Imaginary house Friend, Powerpuf Girl, the Dexter labotory, Samouraï Jack or other's stuff like the Iron Giant? She was with a "friend" with that. :huh: )

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is for ALL. Contrary to the other's series My Little Pony who where designed for girl's. Deal with it. You can not like something. But telling that F.I.M. is for little girl is pure non-sens (ever see a lot's psychopathic pony, pony who are real b*tch on a show for little girl? Nope.)

Okay.... So basically we can all agree that the two types of people who hate bronies and furries are intolerant, ignorant, and narrow minded cynics or just aren't part of the fandom but hate it being forced on them?

It would have been fine if the Bronies contained their enthusiasm to themselves.

But they brought it upon themselves to force it everywhere on the internet.

Because the show was meant for everyone doesn't mean the argument is invalid. Outwardly, the show still has the identity of a children's show, and that's how it is perceived.

This is the problem with bronies. They don't understand or care enough about the fact that society actually cares about things like appearance or perception.

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.

I know this is the off-topic forum, but I think you can get the answer to your question by counting the number of actual responses (1) to the number of memes posted (The rest) so... yeah :)

Like troll do it. Like meme's do it.

MLP: FiM is now a pure meme like the nyan cat. It made it on the internet because that show was so "awesome" for some people's that they talked about it. And than the new's brony talked about it.

It like that something going big at an exponential speed.

Are you saying that because something was loved by people. It's bad that the people talk about that thing to there friend and contact they have?

Isn't it like that World of Tank made it on a big portion of the player's community? And is now even on the TV?

Don't you think it's the same way that MW:O is getting more and more know on forum's?

Definition of Bronies from Urbandictionary. Sums it up pretty well really.

Quote

Bronies
Bronies simply means people who are of an older age group and like to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There is nothing particularly exciting about this, but they make a big deal out of it.

Jump on to a forum most places online, and you will see these people often pushing their fandom. As in, you will be on a forum for cars, and someone will have their display picture as a pony, and all their posts will be about ponies. Then when people accuse them of being off topic, they go into a rant about acceptance, as if watching a cartoon is some sort of big revelation.

Subculture is one thing, but it is a totally other thing to push it into people's faces and then get upset. It would be like heavy metal fan jumping on to a My Little Pony forum and spending their whole time talking about metal, and then getting upset that they aren't well received.

As such, bronies are known to complain about acceptance, and about how hard it is to live in a world like this. News flash fellahs, no one really gives a ****. People don't hate that you like My Little Pony, they hate that you won't ******* shut up about it.
Brony: Hey guys, I know this is a post about motorbikes, but did anyone watch My Little Pony yesterday? Wow!

Regular poster: Umm...that is a bit off topic, don't you think? What is with all these posts about ponies?

Brony: Us bronies just want to be treated like everyone else. Why do you hate us for our subculture?

Dude, calm your ****. I wasn't trying to justify it, I was trying to see if anybody had a legitimate reason to be hateful, and from what I've seen it's just idiots being idiots or people who have had a bad taste left in their mouth.

Maybe they don't care about it, because what is the point to "change for the society"?

A civilazed society should accept people like they are. It's not the people who must change for the society.

Every human got there own idea. Some bad, Some good. It's all depend on the time and the climat.


Something "horrible" for us today is a good thing for people in a hunder's of year.

The History teach us that a lot's of time.

Do you really thing that represent a Brony? Only Brony can understand what is to be a Brony. It's not a "thing" on a table. It's a way to think, to tolerate, to debate.

How, by the way. It's not the Brony definition. It's the "Ponyfag"(I prefer to call them "Kik00pony") definition.

A guy who always want to discuss about pony, and don't hesite to insult you if you don't like pony... They are not Brony's.

Not personally... Here's the thing- people don't take survey of all bronies and then find out the statistical likelihood that a person they see is a brony.

They see bronies in public that are most visible, and then apply that to their knowledge of bronies. It's the same way people in the US assume things about Republicans/Democrats. The same way people will assume bankers are all greedy, heartless detriments to society. The same way people will assume things when they see someone is a certain race or skin color.

That's just how society works and it's the truth. The simple fact that you think it's so ridiculous to assume things like that just proves the point.

I don't even see where you get that? I **** you not, I honestly don't see any reason to say that other than with the intent to **** somebody off.

Also, you bet your sweet *** I do. It's better than being some first world problems kid who thinks they're hated by their parents because they didn't get the newest iPhone.

EDIT: @ PewPew: Then screw me, I don't really care about the differences between Reps and Dems, I've never thought of bankers as greedy, and... are you racist?.... Just kidding. Bust still.
