Anyone Else Getting Sick of MLP?

[CarlMin]

What strangely annoys me is these people are getting away with being furry. Well, that's what you are! Having an obsession with a gang of anthropomorphic animal characters is the definition of furry!

They are not anthropomorphic.

Ehm, yes they are. They are definitely anthropomorphic. Do you even know what the word means?

 

[Shadowstar38]

MPL really doesn't annoy me as much as it used to. Although the phenomenon still has many fans, it seems like most people, the loud, obnoxious internet-meme kind of people that made MPL a pest to begin with, has moved on to whatever next shallow internet thing they want to be a part of.

Left are the real fans that, despite occasionally posting gifs with forced memes and other spam in threads, aren't all that annoying.

What strangely annoys me is these people are getting away with being furry. Well, that's what you are! Having an obsession with a gang of anthropomorphic animal characters is the definition of furry!

From Urban Dictionary.

"There is no one single definition of what a furry is. Even within the furry fandom, people cannot always agree on just what makes a person a furry or not. Others would argue that even liking anthropomorphic creatures makes you a furry. You may have no idea the furry fandom exists or have ever heard of a furry convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry.

The way I see it, if or if you don?t consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion. "

By your standards, everyone thats every liked watching Looney tunes, or Disney Movies with talking animals in it is a furry. Anyone who enjoys playing Sonic or Starfox would be a furry by your difinition as well.

Perhaps would should not be so quick to put people under labels.

No, I'm not saying that simply consuming media which involves anthropomorphic animal characters makes you a furry. I'm saying that obsessing over the characters in question definitely makes you a furry.

While it's true that what constitutes as furry is discussed, the one thing all furries have in common is an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters. If you just watch MPL then you're probably not a furry, but if you are deep within the fandom, have your own pony-character or write fanfiction or draw the characters from the series, well then there's probably a bit of furry in you, no doubt.

In the end, nobody is in position to change the definition of a term just because they don't want to be associated to some label.

A great deal of things, from poetic personifications such as "the pasionately burning sun", to common idioms like "the chair's leg".

In the context of the Furry Fandom, it is usually used to refer to the "Funny Animal" design style, that would assume partially humanoid character designs.

But I guess you had another definition in mind.

And what if I'm a hardcore brony, but I draw fully humanized characters, and write humanfic?

 

[Blunderboy]

No, because I'm not a fan so I don't go out of my way to experience it.

I'm more sick of jackasses giving the whole fanbase more attention than it deserves. If strange, emotionally repressed people want to jerk off to pony-human hybrid porn, WHO GIVES A SHIT. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can have their memes and endless flow of jpegs. What really bothers me is people constantly bringing up this god damn topic of "Oh gee willikers, those bronies sure are doofuses, right you guys?" and inciting ANOTHER FUCKING BATTLEGROUND for people to ***** and moan about what is socially acceptable and how "Nah duudee, not all bronies are the saaamee, maaaaannn".

If you really want these people to stop getting in your face, then go look in the mirror and take notes, because you need to consider your own damned criticism.

And you know what, I'm calling it right now, I'm going to get a shitload of flak for this post, because people are going to skim right through it and regard it as nothing but "That crystalsnow guy whining again", but I'm putting it up anyway, because for the people who DO read this through, and DO pay attention to what I'm saying, then listen to what I'm about to tell you.

Stop making these fucking threads. Stop bitching about every little nuance you come across on the internet. Stop giving attention to a group of people who deserve little more than an sidelong glance. Stop forming "sides" in arguments that serve no purpose and will never end. And for the love of god STOP SEARCHING FOR SHIT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEARCH FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. This may come as a shock to some of you intellectual wizards, but the internet works in such a way that you actually get to search for stuff you're interested in, RATHER THAN STUFF THAT PISSES YOU OFF.

The internet is young. A lot of you people probably think that crap like this whole MLP situation is a rare occurrence and probably won't happen very often in the future. You're wrong. This shit is all over the place already, and its only going to get worse. And at some point you have to realize that, and just.deal.with.it.

Ninja edit: For any of the wiseasses out there who DO happen to skim through this without reading for comprehension, just know that I will only be responding to those with insightful commentary on what I've had to say.

Oh god crystalsnow is bitching again

Oh I'm kidding you are right and from the post by Erena it seems as though ponies have a time machine because there are posts as far back as 2008 so I agree with you and wish people would just leave the fans to their show because I'm almost positive you won't find pony porn or any of those other things OP was upset about unless you look for that and if your friends are telling you about that sort of thing I think you should find new friends or be a bit more forceful when telling them to not tell you about their favorite pornographic ponies but unfortunatly people will continue to make these either because they think they have a different opinion, something new to say on an old subject, or just think that they may in fact be the only one who thinks that.

Edit 4 pages and it's not locked I am impressed!

 

[itsthesheppy]

What I don't understand is how people see this stuff as compulsory. I mean, I'm not a fan of Doctor Who. I'm not interested in the show, the memes, the characters, none of it. But you can't spend five minutes on the internet without running into it. So what? Doesn't bother me any. I just move on.

I mean isn't starting a thread devoting to MLP going directly against your best interests? Why attract the intention?

Then you're probably not a furry. Because if you write and draw human characters, we're not longer talking about anthropomorphic animal characters.

In regards to the definition of anthropomorphic, that's simple the quality of having human characteristics. The ponies in MPL are anthropomorphic animals because they speak and display human emotions and expressions.

They are into the how because they think it's a good show. Most people you talk to were put off by the fact that they were ponies before they sit down to watch it. It's not that they're into animal characters.

And really, considering this exists...

And the fact that if anyone post a picture of themselves in a full on pony suit on an MLP board, they get called a "fur fag" means both these fandoms really want a clear divide.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Not really, no. If you don't like it, fine, that's fine by me. The crazy fans bug me too.

 

[Arkynomicon]

I was sick of it before it was cool to be sick of it.

Now I don't care that much and just shrug a lot when it shows up.

I have also seen the show. I don't think it's anything special outside of being a show for kids that is above average. If grown-ups wants to centre their life around the show then that is not my problem.

 

[Threeseventyfive]

Yeah I know how you feel. Sadly, the bronies, like ANY other group contain a few shitheads that make everyone else in the group look like idiots.

Please remember that we aren't all furries, cloppers or assholes. Most of us are just normal people.

 

[JochemHippie]

>I'm so sick of people shoving MLP down my throat!
>Shoves it down peoples throat by making a thread about MLP.
Yeah, that made sense.

In this forum in particular it's barely noticeable, a caption here and there, even outnumbered by Futurama and even things like fucking spiderman.

So people.
Please get the fuck over yourselves.

Though most normal people are assholes too, so I would say that you are the deviant one, and the asshole bronies like me are the normal people.

 

[Steagony]

Yo i hate bronies too dey call me the bronykilla but still, could you guys please stop acting like this show is anything but average? It's getting kinda weird. I've actually heard a guy saying that it's better than NGE.

NGE.

NGE.

NGE.

The only common thing in NGE and LMP is that they are both ridiculously overdiscussed.

Even if either or both of them *WOULD BE* the best thing ever, it wouldn't deserve all that commotion and whining and infamy and hatred and obsessiveness and this whole larger-than-life reaction.

And we are not "acting like" the show is better than average, we BELIEVE that it is better than average.

A subtle but important distinction, signing a difference between it all being a conspiracy to troll YOU, who has the perfect objective truth of which show is and isn't average, and between different groups of people having different tastes regarding quality.

Eh, it's all a mater of opinion. You think the show is average, a lot of the people who watch it think it's top tier writing. Same with any other show.

Congratulations, you are twelve.
