I KNEW that you'd have a pony avatar when I saw your reply.Captain Placeholder said:MLP is NOT a Meme. Just as Star Wars is not a meme. Just as Star Trek is not a Meme.Abedeus said:Because it's another meme... Like over 9000, lolcats, numa numa... and few others that were big, then forgotten. Only now and then some idiot tries to resurrect it.
Except more obnoxious, because everyone changes their avatars and talks about it 24/7 instead of just using boring references.
The only meme I liked was "Assuming direct control", because it was sort of random, and yet fitting everywhere. Or just because there was a funny thread on Bioware forums with pictures. Like other memes.
I will give you that MLP Spawned a few memes, but it isn't a meme onto itself. Just as Star Wars and Star Trek spawned memes, however you don't go around saying "Durr I fuckin' hate Star Wars because its a meme." Because that would just be stupid.
The point of my post is to point out just that.
MLP IS NOT A MEME.
JUST AS POKEMON IS NOT A MEME.
JUST AS BLEACH IS NOT A MEME.
JUST AS 99.9% OF TV SHOWS ARE NOT FUCKING MEMES.
Pokemons are over 10 years old, and Bleach is not that popular. You don't see people quoting shit or posting images from the shows.
Okay, look:
House MD is not a meme.
"It's never lupus" is a meme. I get this.
But when 90% of the time I see a Pony thread, there are thousands of pictures, references and quotes from the show.
Star Wars and Trek might've been memes if they were created now. Look at inception - the only thing the Internet remembers about it is the meme "We need to go deeper". Memes destroy things. If there were no MLP memes, I would've tolerated the show. But the constant barrage of pictures and etc just repulses me.
Exactly... It's becoming worse than Gay Pride. I'm proud to love other men/women/ponies/tv shows! This is my way of life, listen to me, look at me!Generic Gamer said: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!
All I want to do after a long day of being told that people who don't like the show are homophobic, insecure, right wing, christian or whatever is smack a bitcha frankly. Watching a show doesn't make you unique, smart or special. You like a show and I don't fucking care.
No one fucking cares what shitty little show you watch because we're all nerds here, we ALL watch a shitty show no one cares about!
My avatar is from Gurren Lagann. Am I going around forums, making threads about it, spamming pictures, constantly quoting "BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!!"? No. Because it's annoying.
And what quote above said - it reminds me of furries.
So you like to look at animals with boobs. Big deal, I don't care, maybe I'll stop hating you if you stop bringing it up every second post. Furries treat themselves like martyrs. "Oh what have we ever done...". You bitched on the Internet for way too long, that's what.
