Anyone Else Getting Sick of MLP?

[VeryOddGamer]

The only thing that bothers me about bronies is them replacing body with pony, as in "everypony".
With everything else I'm okay, with the gifs, the brohoofing, the fanfiction and even the porn, since, you know, I don't have to look for it.

You kiddin me, I'm implied to be insecure about my femininity because I not only don't get a show aimed at five year olds, but one I already didn't like when I WAS in it's target demographic back in the 80s.

Common misconception.
It's not the same show it was in the 80s.

In fact the only similarity between the two is the characters are ponies. Everything else has been been completely reworked and modernized.

Are you trying to use logic on these guy. You know better than that Topaz.

I know the feeling, OP. Even if you repeatedly tell them you are not interested in their little girls' show, they still feel the need to shove it down your throat every fucking chance they get.

I swear, I just want to punch them in the throat. :/

You sound really upset. Would you like a hug?

These things never just die, do they? Threads where bronies and non-bronies alike come together to complain about how overexposed they are to cartoon ponies, and they're invariably the most commented-upon threads on The Escapist. Not that I consider this a bad thing, I find these kinds of threads funny in their absurdity.

Anyway, OT: No, on the internet I only view the things I want to. If I end up on a page I don't like, or someone from some fandom is annoying me, I click a link and go somewhere else. It's one of the many beautiful things possible in this virtual world. The only way obnoxious fans could successfully shove anything into my face would be in the real world, but that's never really happened to me.

As for My Little Pony specifically, hell no. It's been far too long since there were new episodes, and I can't wait for season 3 to roll around. If you're bothered by the cartoon ponies now, I pity you. It's probably going to get much worse pretty soon...

That's just it, I wasn't looking for it.

HOW!?!

I -am- a fan and I don't come across the cross-over fiction or porn or any of that.

That's the part that boggles my mind... the only way I can see you coming across creepy porn about MLP or such things is if you happen to find find MLP amongst the OTHER creepy porn that you ARE looking for.

I mean, if you're on a website that has creepy fuckers being creepy... and some of them decide to be creepy about a cartoon show... then the fault isn't the cartoon show, is it?

Seriously, I do not get this. Explain the means by which one accidentally stumbles on creepy cartoon porn like that. I mean, if you're not looking for the cartoon, how is this coming up?

Honestly, if there were less "Is anyone else sick of MLP" threads out there, my MLP exposure would probably be halved.

For me, the point of realization that the degradation of the MLP had become quite extensive was while playing on a tf2 surf server. A 10 year-old child (he confirmed with us that this was his age) and promptly began asking if anyone was a brony and then stating "don't hate on me being a brony because I'm cooler then you and you are just angry trolls" (exact quote). He repeated this about 6 times, along with the usual item begging that can be expected from the age group.
It was at this moment that I realized what aggravated me so much when it came to bronies. their incessant need to defend themselves against NOONE.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I'm no brony, I've only watched one ep and it isn't for me, but I find some of the jokes and images funny as heck.

Just get over it OP, it's like anything. I dislike Twilight, and yet for a while it was EVERYWHERE!

You don't make a thread about it, or disliking it if you want to avoid it, because then people will come and show you what you don't want to see.

I wasn't aware it was still around on the forums until this thread. So there you go.

I think OP is just getting annoyed at things like peoples avatars etc being ponies or something in places where some think they shouldn't belong. Must be pony-phobic or something?

Also, off topic, but are you a GL fan? That username suggests to me you may be. Edit: Never mind, I thought it was the GL character, but I quickly googled it because it didn't seem to be spelled the way I remember, it's queen Boudica.

 

[Swny Nerdgasm]

I have absolutely no feelings towards the show, but when I see a supposedly heterosexual male identify himself as a Brony, I do think less of him

EVERY fanbase has the creepy side to it. Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, MLP, and various others if you know where to look.

Hell most fans of each fanbase has probably dabbled with some of the abnormal stuff from their fanbase and probably enjoyed it at sometime or another. Plus there is often nothing wrong with a person liking the stuff on a regular basis as well.
[sub]This coming from a fan MLP and Pokemon including their R34 fandoms... I am not afraid to admit but I don't push it on anybody.[/sub]

And on the topic of Cross fiction: I find nothing wrong with crossing 2 series that have different tones. Anybody know of Fallout Equestria? That is right. Fallout and MLP. Both extremely different. And guess what? They work surprisingly well together. I have found it is not so much the crossing of the two IPs in a fanfic as it is how that fanfic is written/presented/read.

Though I will agree that the darker sides of the fandoms have been leaking out into the cleaner sides more often as of late. MLP being the biggest offender here. But I just blame the internet general for that. What with all the reasons the stuff is made and posted.

Anyways I should get out of here before I say anything that pisses someone off if I have not already.

So with that Bye bye

Reading some of the responses in this thread made me lol, so I spose it wasn't a complete waste of time.
That being said, if you dislike /insert anything here/ then you should only rant about your dislike of it if it hasn't been done a trillion times before. Or you could just do what most other people do, keep your mouth shut and grumble quietly.

I mean, I try to keep my disgust about what some people consider good animation to myself, even when fans of said animation are considered to be the normal kind of fan that non-fans think of when thinking about the greater community as a whole... Man, do I ever hate Naruto >=/

Edit: I suppose I should say something constructive to the OP... Hmm... Your complaints are not uncommon, in fact they are too common (especially on these threads) that the first 10 responses are almost guaranteed to be "oh great, this shit again...". I recommend doing a forum search of any of these kinds of threads (use the tag: MLP or Pony) and look for the really old ones back when people weren't immediately sickened by the thread subject matter, and were more likely to converse about the subject. That, or you can try to keep this one going /shrug

MLP thread?

I read it in both a Cajun accent and a typical black person accent. The world is good.

I read it like this...


That reminds me of the only thing that really bothers me about MLP on these forums. Why that show? Why not The Wire? Or Breaking Bad?

[sub][sub][sub]Why can't we talk about the shows I love? Nobody loves me...[/sub][/sub][/sub]

I can't agree more. It was this behaviour that got me addicted to the O.C.

The things that really bother/disturb/disgust me is the erotic fan-fiction and the porn.

Uh, have you been on the internet? There is porn from EVERYTHING. Rule 34. There's is erotic fanfiction about EVERYTHING. Some people, like you, seem to think there's some sickos doing MLP porn and there's just none anywhere else in media, but mate, there's nothing there isn't porn of.

 

[Dandark]

Not really no. I watched a few episodes with a brony friend of mine and while it was kinda amusing and the animation is good, I didn't like it that much, it just wasn't my thing.

I have no problem with people liking it though, it's really not thrown in your face. You can hear about it everywhere because it has a large fanbase on the internet but it's not thrown in your face, it really isn't. I don't understand people going on about how terrible it is for them to watch a little girls show? Who the hell cares? They like the show, it amuses them, they enjoy it, they care about it. What is the problem?

As for the R34 of it, you kinda have to be looking for it. Unless someone links it to you then you have to look for it, it isn't that easy to stumble upon. If you do then just click the back button, simple.
