The Internet is collapsing!

[Xanthious]

Not the picture, the interview itself. The article painted bronies as middle aged basement dwellers, and they managed to find a brony who fit the description.

Edit: As for soccer moms and random guys at the mall, I couldn't care less what they thought. These are the people who would be weirded out no matter what nerdy thing I told them I liked -- the same people who look down on videogames, the same people who, in generations past, burned their kids rock albums. I'm not worried at all what they think, but it does bother me when people who should know better start spouting crap.

You honestly just think it's the out of touch conservative right that sees bronies in a bad way? Go to a bar, a night club, Barnes and Nobles, a beach, hell it doesn't matter, just talk damn near anyone who isn't a brony and explain to them what a brony is then ask them their opinion and I'd bet massive sums of cash most people are going to have opinions are less than favorable to say the least. You lot just can't or don't want to see the forest from the trees. Saying the general public finds you a bit creepy would be akin to saying the pope is just some catholic fella.

Why do people get so bitchy about bronies? The bronies I've met so far are nothing more than people that like to share inside jokes from one of their favorite shows, you know, like pretty much EVERY PERSON ON THE INTERNET. Seriously people chill the fuck out and go enjoy whatever you enjoy and share it with other people that enjoy it too.
And if you ever met a brony that "shoved" MLP down your throat (wich I'm still waiting to happen to me), well, how do I put this gently... grow a pair, say "no thank you".

o.o sir, this post is a thing of beauty
well said, very well said

Well, that is officially the most I've gotten out of anyone. I usually just get "'CAUSE IT'S AWESOME! HATERS GONNA HATE!" - which makes absolutely no sense. Haters going to hate? The fuck does that even mean. A phrase uttered only by children with birth defects.

Actually, that bit's been around for a while now (brief explanation here), and is by no means exclusive to any single fandom.

Not even necessarily out of touch conservatives, just people who are out of touch with the culture of 20 something nerds. Go to a college campus some time, I dare you. The bronies are legion.

Edit: Also, the fact that they're out of touch with nerd culture hurts in a different way: they've never met a brony, so they draw unfounded conclusions -- or worse, read articles like the one you brought up earlier, which give misinformation and paint bronies in a bad light.

Pfft, I'm not worried, I have a fullproof plan to weather the Brony horde storm while being perfectly safe and inconspicious.

Spoiler

They'll pass right past us and never suspect a thing! There's space for a few more people, now taking reservations, non-smokers preferred.

Got room for one more? nonsmoker, friendly, 2 months rent advance.

=snip=

Can I put one down I promise that if I get a place, I'll make Flaming Sambucas for everyone!

Ok, I tricked the NATO leadership into believing that Arabs are afraid of horses, the new extrodinary funding means there are now plans to erect a hollow wooden pony outside every airport and large city. The expected completion time is 72 hours as of now, so grab some supplies, climb inside, and hide wit' yo' kids and yo' wife, coz they raping every forum out there.

The ponies are meant as a safe haven for anyone seeking refuge from the incoming pony assimilation. Good luck people, and remember, if you're reading this, you are the resistance.

Im going to say what I have said 5 times today.

Discord is Pro Troll.

Well, these wars are going to be fun to watch... in the first 5 seconds, then just irratating, then just dreadful... I think i'll just move into genericusername64's E-shelter

Yeah, something that has been lost in the last few pages is that the bronies are just as sick of the constant fighting as everyone else is. I started a thread earlier today in the hopes of getting a sticky heading off some of the common questions, because the threads are going to start in earnest shortly if we don't do something about it.

Even Inglip knows this is a problem 0.o

I am willing to purchase 5 crates of anti-hope grenades, an assault rifle with bullets made out of suicidal depression and of course a RPG with dream shattering rockets.

Spoiler: ... I couldn't resist.

OT: ... Well this will end well. I can only imagine the amount of hate that will arrive now.

I would attempt to understand what this phenomena is all about, but talking with a "bronie" is extremely one-sided and about as useful as smashing your head into a wall.

Ya well if you'd just quit smashing your head into that wall maybe a little conversation could be made. And you really are one of the most spiteful people I constantly see on this site. Your always going on about negatives with things. Try living on the lighter side of life, I know your entitled to your own believes but still.

I sort of favor the Jay and Silent Bob idea. Now lets pool our money and fly to every persons house who calls himself a brony and kick him in the dick. After he looks up at us and wonders why, we will tell them. That is a stupid word and you need to stop hiding behind it you little twerp. Every single kick to the brony dick will start a war and that will be our slogan. Find out where they live and spray the word brony in blood on their place of business. I will kick their friends, their parents, there bosses, anybody they know in the dick. Strap them down saw style and ram a brohoof right up their ass. Have the tears come streaming down their lame little brony faces I will laugh. Everybody has a right to like what they enjoy, we don't make up lame names for ourselves in order to like it. Rally your troops and kick these avatar trendy bastards in the dick

chant with me. EVERY SINGLE KICK TO THE BRONY DICK, EVERY SINGLE KICK TO THE BRONY DICK.

So we make a name up for the fans of the show, it's called originality. Something you don't have using an idea from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". Burn *****....... snap!

*Goes back about his business*.

I'm actually predicitng non-bronies will be seeing a lot less pony than they did during season 1. Now that there are pony sites set up and most bronies have found their way into a brony group, pony conversation should stay rather contained on pony-centric sites. Why talk about ponies here when you can go to EqD and get a chatroom full of bronies?

It's not the bronies who start most of the threads, though. We get at least one thread a week of someone asking what the big deal is, and that was the rate during the off season; it's probably going to get a lot worse very soon.

That's true I suppose. Tragic circle aint it?, and to think it could all be averted with the use of the search bar

Yeah. I've been pushing for a sticky for the last few months, but the mods aren't interested. I think they secretly enjoy the flame wars.

 

[Smagmuck_]

Y'know, the Bronies say they can convert everyone into fellow Bronies... I will prove them wrong.

Come at me, Bro(nies)!

 

[Tiger Sora]

Its called a sense of humor you pony loving twat. Now where are my manners, I am sorry, brohoof dude, now go back to watching your show in your Strawberry Shortcake underwear.

So to come back from my insult you say you were doing it to be funny. Well being morbid, theres nothing funny in doing that. Than you claim to have manners, but than insult me and post falsities. Well,

And all you can do now is troll and hate, lies to if you want. But cha got nothin but that. *Begins to dance*.
(Another sweet victory).
