Chrysalis and I are confused. Why do people who don't like ponies keep entering the pony thread? It is a thread specifically denoted as filled with glorious amounts of pony (and changling). There are many, many threads without pony content to enjoy.


But Fluttershy is here to remind us that we should love and tolerate everybody. And could you say no to that face? I couldn't.

The main reason for this is that people enjoy expressing their opinions on the internet.
Even the really stupid ones.

You mean every opinion besides my own?

Hmm. Liking a show makes us mentally sick? Where`s your research? Did you use the scientific method?

Quoting just because...

...also, what's your control group? Who are you comparing us to in order for us to be 'completely wrong'? Surely you must give us something to work with here my man, don't leave a brotha hangin'!

Maybe Vectoron is just mad we have severely underrepresented a certain key demographic? That's right, goats. There are not nearly as many goats as ponies on this thread. So, in accordance with Equestrian affirmative action laws, I give to you... goats + ponies.

Haters still exist? lol

You know the saying, the more you hate something, the stronger it gets? It's been pretty much self-evidenced in regards to the whole brony phenomenon. Let's take a look at some interesting factoids:

- Gabe Newell of Valve is a Brony
- Notch of Minecraft is a Brony
- Brony musicians have been featured by Rolling Stone.
- Charity drives have raised over $100,000.
- One Brony musician has already been signed onto a record label.

Those are all just some things that's happened over the past year.

Here's a couple VERY recent announcements:
- The Firefox team made a pony reference on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Firefox


- Eurobeat Brony and The Living Tombstone's "Discord," remix has been officially accepted by Chart Toppers Authoring, LLC, and will be a purchasable song for Rock Band 3: http://charttoppersa...g-to-rock-band/

- John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek and VA for Discord) is putting together a >$100,000 documentary to showcase all the good sides of the fandom for the world to see, to give bronies a boost in PR and public opinion that has so far been crushed by the media.

I'm sorry to say it buddy, but you and the rest of the haters have lost, and lost hard.

Soon people will realize that gender stereotyping is stupid, and people will be able to enjoy what they want to enjoy without prejudice or fear of being stereotyped. All that will be left is a small vocal minority that make themselves look worse and worse by not adapting to a more open mindset.

You may not ever like the show, but perhaps one day you'll grow out of the, "People with different tastes are weird," mindset.

I'm not one to post normally, I'm a non vocal lurking brony, but still, you sir, deserve any praise I can throw at you. Way to effectively stick a foot in whoever hates simply to hate's collective mouth.

You haven´t been to the kickstarter in a while have you, because its more close to $200,000 now. But anyway that is a great lineup did not know about a quarter of those.

is the only one I know of, pretty good and not grim dark.

I just read this last night, and it was pretty damned good.
Decent crossover (not melding or blending), managing to capture the feel of both universes without undue contamination.
I rather enjoyed it.

Wait you read it last night? as in the whole thing in one night? But, that story is soooo long!

I just took a quick peek at it. Doesn't look that long. I shall read it all tonight just to prove it can be done. Now, if you want a long tale, Fallout Equestria is what you should look at.

It's not that long. Maybe 60,000 words? I finished it in a few hours.
