Regarding pony hate

[The Eyeball Moose]

I never really get too much about the pony meme from people. And I don't despise it. But I see a lot of people with pony avatars who could be doing something remotely creative and unique with not just their avatars but their entire lives and I realized just now that I hate ponies.

I've already done that. Weeks ago. I found no threads that were derailed by ponies. It's the reason I want you to show me. I've seen other complain about this too, but when they are asked about proof they ignore it.

The insane amount of pony threads was probably a bit(this is probably an understatement) annoying though, but that's what happens when something new and popular finds its way to the internet.

I dont hate my little pony, i'm just starting to hate the people who use it as an avatar since every post or topic started by one is nothing but trolling and baiting. Much like this one.

I know i should just ignore it but i keep thinking i will miss out on some kind of valuable information.
Do you people make money that way? if so, please tell me how.

I used to get anoyed by ponies, but then I WATCHED THE SHOW! All hate is based on ignorance.

Hi!
I was in the "Memes you hate" thread, and noticed a lot of people voted for My Little Pony. I'm just curious of why you hate it. I don't think there's much of a reason to, at least not on the escapist. We keep to ourselfes in the MLP group chat, and the only pony you get from us are our avatars. Otherwise we're like any other escapist user. And I don't see you hating on people with, let's say, TF2 avatars, even though there's a lot of people with that too.

im a pony fan so i cant really say but i would assume the people who dont like the show (either because they tried it and hated it, or because they instinctively hate things that are popular) feel bitter about seeing it all over the place.

me personally, i dont like lolcats

 

[Denamic]

Because hating memes is a popular meme.
Ironically enough.

 

[NotAPie]

It's a kids show, a girly kids show, about ponies.
I don't hate it but I don't care for it either.

 

[edudogel]

your fans are well they are addicted to it

Can you please show me one of these? >.<

why i hate it:

animation looks cheap and like something done on flash (i have a thing against animations studios being cheap when shows like invader zim are animated in beautiful way and get canceled)

The show in the 80s was to sell us toys but everyone knew it was for small girls while this one exist just to leach off nostalgia.

the current show JUST FUCKING SUCKS in both writting and a animation...also character design but thats a given

it somehow turn a bunch of boys into a buch of damn sissies.

NO BODY SHUTS THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT!!!!

plus more but thats the top 5.

1. The animation is pretty good and sleek. But I guess it's just a matter of preferences.
2. Lol, no. I can tell you that most of the people that enjoy Friendship is Magic thinks that the older generations are utter shit. We don't speak of it. IT WAS TERRIBLE.
3. Character design, that's about preferences again. But the stories are well written, don't you say anything else. They're interesting, which is fucking hard to come by in modern cartoons.
4. They turn boys into damn sissies? That comment is bad, and you should feel bad. Looking at your avatar, I'm gonna make this rebuttal:
You know what? I hate Halo because it turns boys into annoying morons.

Slow down Pinkamina, the trolls are getting to you. Take a chill pill, if you don't have one of those, take one of those chill strips, it dissolves on your tongue, so you can chill. This guy is close-minded, so give up on him. Treat him with the common courtesy you treat everyone, and secretly judge him in your head, like the rest of us do.

Honestly, bronies have managed to out-persecution complex furries, I shit you not!

I don't think that's possible.

 

[vermin_]

Can we PLEASE stop with the

Y U HATE PONIES/COD threads? So bloody iritating.

 

[StonedMonkey]

It's a show for 5 year old little girls; that now you, probably an older teenage are watching. I don't like it because most of you who watch this SHOW FOR 5 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRLS are just people who are into it because the rest of the internet is, because you wanna fit in with a stupid ass group.

 

[edudogel]

graaaaaaaaaah i hate mlp fim

 

[Shirokurou]

For me it's because

1. It's overly positive
2. It's a girly kids show
3. It's everywhere
4. It's an overused meme

If I see someone with a MLP avatar I simply can't take them seriously.

+1...
Also I can't escape the logic of the "You have a pony on your avatar, your argument is invalid"...

 

[Silent Anima]

Right.

It's a show. You watch a show and you like the show. That is all. There's no need to tell everyone about it all the time, spam fucking huge pictures in threads, constantly go on about how it doesn't make you gay, a paedophile or a sissy even though no one accused you of that or rabidly defend the show against criticism. You are also not a persecuted minority, you are some nerds that like a show. Honestly, bronies have managed to out-persecution complex furries, I shit you not!

Really? lolnope. We were actually accused of it earlier in the thread. In fact someone even joined the group just to tell us how gay we were. Other than that, we never do any of those things. Not on the escapist at least.

Well, its not like it came out of nowhere. What i'm wondering is why you're so defensive of a pony meme that lets be honest, doesn't need defending. Its there, people have noticed it and the notice didn't come from it being hidden.

Secret judging is best judging.
