This thing prompted me to find out what "bronies" were. I guess I don't participate in too many forums. But, it seems like the hatred of the my little pony fans is based around their injection of it into unrelated topics. SO, I question the logic of creating hate threads against a thing, when that action is doing the same thing by proxy. As a follower of Kantian morality, it seems like a clear contradiction of the will.

I know we all like to jettison anger against things, but I guess I just don't get the premise unless it differs from my impressions.

honestly, its a anger vent thing like you said, everyone needs to do it every so often in this can be a fun way to blow steam, or you can take up trolling like some of us. (i dont recomend that)
OT:i found this funny, and probably to anyone who used to be a brony and that isnt anymore (not me, just watch the video and youl know why i said this)

Ah well that makes sense. When I saw that it was an active thread I was like, "I haven't even heard about this. Do I not internet enough?" It just seemed like an odd target as I didn't even know the show was still in production.

Im sure we would see something on yahoo news if they stopped production, they like to make articles about stupid **** like that (that and they would probably attack something o.O)

ooh the irony, the sweet sweet irony.

Let me explain. In the pony thread many of us want more discussion, more talk, more words but it's mostly jsut art. I mean don't get me wrong, the art is amazing, the talent of the artists are amazing as well. Regardless of the subject matter, talent is talent.

Anyways, I like art of all kind, I like it if it's well done, has a hidden message or is just funny. I was hoping to find some funny or atleast interesting pictures here, considering the subject. I was unfortunately disappointed. It seems that the amount and quality of the pictures available for the subject matter is.. low. It's all just words. There is so much words. What we want in the pony thread is here, this is why so many people who like ponies are in this thread.

It seems that the pony-haters are more opinionated than the 'bronies'. I guess though that's normal if you look at history... ah well what can you do Please post more PICS!!

EDIT: I guess I should add that I haven't watched the show, but it seems too cloying and reductive to appeal to me regardless. That said, there's no accounting for taste so I neither approve nor disapprove of people who do like the show. Live and let live and all that.

I can somehow understand why some people have a bias towards bronies, I haven't been in forums where it happened, but some of them seem to be quite invasive. There's trolls everywhere though, and especially in this forum you will hardly find ponies outside of the pony-topic, but almost never outside of off-topic, so I don't really get why people tend to carry their grudges from other forums to this one as well, risking another flamewar in a forum that has been quite mature about the topic so far...

As some said, this seems to be a vent for peoples anger, but none of them being able to explain properly why they specifically target ponies instead of things that really deserve it so far, makes it hard for me to take this whole thing seriously, which is the reason I keep coming back!
That said, I suspect that many in here would much rather hate on Bronies themselves, but since they aren't allowed to, target their subject of interest. The funny thing about that is, that many of the better pictures on the topic, and stories like the one posted earlier, were actually made by Bronies themselves.... oh the irony! ^^
Besides, how can you seriously hate something as adorable as this, unless you hate cuteness itself? (didn't embed the image on prupose, doesn't really fit the topic)

As I said, I can understand where that bias comes from, but I don't get the reaction it produces. I mean, wouldn't it be much more desirable, from a social standpoint, to strive for a serious/reasonable debate on the topic, rather than hating on each other? Especially when you notice that there are actually reasonable people on both sides.
Given german history, following the same logic, you'd have to conclude that every German has to be a Nazi, which some people still do unfortunately, but that point of view is very narrow-minded. As far as I'm concerned, it's okay to hate on Nazis though, those scumbags don't deserve any better...
The reason I bring this up, is that the connection between Germans and Nazis is pretty much the same for Bronies and "Pony-trolls".
Many people still judge the fandom, by looking at it's roots (4Chan etc.) and the trolls that seem to inhabit that place. It's really nothing else than judging Germans by their history, and the moron who started WWII...
It's simply not right! I've never been involved with any Nazis and plan to keep it that way, and I have never been at 4Chan and plan to keep it that way as well...

Another issue is even if there were more anti brony pics, would not be allowed to post them, which is honestly somewhat difficult to pull off since the two kinda go together lol.



for example I found this pic, but amongst it, I found a ton of other pics that were just... well... obscene and would probably get me banned XD.
