You want this to remain calm and mature when you start a thread with a title like this? This is just asking for it.

I don't. ...well no more than I hate the fans of anything else, which is incidentally a lot, but at least it's equal opportunity hate.

I don't really hate them, I just think they're annoying as hell and need to learn to STFU and stop making these threads. The majority of people that like it appear to be obsessed with it to the point where there might be a problem, many won't even consider the fact that the show isn't the greatest thing in the world.

Its crazy annoying that a "bronie" starts a thread every single week saying "BUT WHY DO YOU HATE ME!?!?" Honestly most people into the show that I see just come off as extremely obsessive attention whores and that's not the type of person I prefer to deal with.

(And if they were this obsessed with any other thing I would feel the same way, it has nothing to do with the show itself)

EDIT: Also this right here:

That's fine, I haven't seen it but I know some children's shows are designed to be enjoyed by many other people aswell. Stop acting so hurt when people take the piss; laugh at yourself a little. And drop this 'brony' shit, you're not part of some secret society, you're not affiliated with any kind of group, and you don't need to have any kind of solidarity or whatever between you. It's just a television show.

You could, you know, choose not to hate people based on their television preferences...
I take that one.

I'm just getting sick of the Fanart...the scary, scary fanart.
Yeah, but if that was your logic path, rule 34 would make you have everything.
Oh, I'm not talking about Rule 34 here.

Don't worry, it just a thread about funny pictures.

Then a brony derailed it. Keep going till the last page on 279.

Also, I'm yen sid on that Thread.

I do not hate bronies. I do however utterly fail to understand the obsession (and yes, I tried watching, it does not appeal to me in the slightest, ever after giving it a shot), and it is annoying that every second thing on the internet has to be about their show, so there are some tinges of your option 4 colouring my opinion.

However, I do feel that there is a rather large difference between "hating" a group of people and being annoyed with the way some of them carry themselves in public.

That's not my intended tone. My view is that people overtly display their hate and I wanted to convey my opinion on the subject in a way that was respectful.
I don't think any of us believe we're being oppressed, certainly not me. I'm not about to draw a parallel to us and Blacks in America circa 1960s, because that's not us by any means.

From my experience at least I've seen many more threads either bashing the show/fans or straight up asking "Whats with the ponies?" I'm not sure how the Bronies are the ones that have to shut up about it when it's the others that keep talking about it.

This ... confuses me. Aren't you a fan of anything? If not, your life must be pretty dull ...

Well, I actually use the show and its morals to spread happiness wherever I can. Most of the times the people I introduce the show to (that I have seen) have become happier and smile more because of it. (My boyfriend included.) In my opinion it's a great show and it makes me happy every time I see it. I'm just sad that those who don't like the show patronize those who do. But then again, there's so much hate in the world today it doesn't really surprise me that much anymore.

Agreed.
I love Breaking Bad. I don't call myself a Heisenberger and act like I'm part of an actual subculture, though.

I somewhat like the show, but I DETEST the fandom behind it. I'm actually writing an article on brony culture right now.

I don't dislike bronies. They are just a fandom, I don't give a fuck about them.
I am also mostly passive towards the show. It is watchable, I saw maybe six episodes, but I could not summon the interest to continue watching.

I do admit I kind of got into the brony thing when it was still like eighty percent facetious, though. Back when there were only a few episodes out and it was all based on making fun of the fact that there has never been a girl's show that wasn't shit before.

I think it's not a matter of hating bronies necessarily, just the show. In that case, I still don't understand what's not to love.

If you're not willing to give it a chance, fine, but don't tell me that it's a terrible show. One of my friends told me it has terrible animation based on the five seconds that he saw when he walked past it in the living room...he hasn't seen the Sonic Rainboom yet! Did I mention that most of it is handled in Flash? I'm probably going to drive him insane over the course of the next year.

Poor animation is Dora the Explorer.

To be fair, 9 out of 10 of the MLP threads on the Escapist were started by people saying "What's this MLP thing?" etc, not by actual fans.

Well, yeah, I kind of figured I was setting myself up for failure just by the title. Oh well, disclaimers make everything alright.

I like MLP, but I wouldn't necessarily call myself a brony. Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression of a small minority of the fans, but it's like /b/tards, Halofags, Twilight fangirls and really any obsessive fan of any show ever. When they try and plug their show at every opportunity, when they speak of nothing but, when they defend to the death every last second of it, they just get on my tits, even if I am a fan of the show in question.

I don't hate bronies, I just find radical bronies annoying.

Are there things that I enjoy? Certainly. Am I a crazy obsessive psychotic fanatical whiny retard about any of them? No, a long nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
