Bronies and furries. Why the hate?


Flutter's lover <3

As a Brony & a Furry this really grinds my gears.

 

 

The hate and fighting between fandoms (I'm looking at you furry fandom and brony fandom)is just so stupid. Why all the hate? In nearly every statement with the word "furry" in it can be replaced by "brony" and vice versa. There's not much difference to them.

 

We're both guilty of R34 and a bad media rep. But we've also both done charity work, held our own cons. We both dress up in costumes/fursuits/cosplays. We both make art. We both make videos and music. There's not much difference between the two fandoms other than MLP is based off a TV show and the Furry Fandom is based off of liking Anthropomorphic animals (Disney played a big part), and coming up with their own stories and art.

 

Both fandoms are known for being socially awkward and having a bad rep and easy to make fun of.You'd think this would pull the two fandoms together, but it doesn't for the most part.

 

and a quote from my friend Kitty/Mallory who's a furry. (She was also on "Fanboy Confessionals" the furry edition, she was the one with all the pink stuff)

 

 

 

I don't see a difference either. There are some bronies who take it to the extreme, there are furries who do the same, and you have a

 

whole wack of people in the middle. The only difference I see is from a creativity stand point. Bronies are (mostly but not all I know) are

 

fans of pre-existing characters designed by other individuals. Furries (in general, but not always) are fans of their own characters they

 

design, albeit sometimes they are heavily influenced by other pre-existing characters like the lion king, sonic the hedgehog and so on...

 

Ya know what, nevermind. There isn't much difference at all, I agree with ya!

 

 

 

The same can be said for the sonic fandom, pokemon fandom, and other popular fandoms.

I'm not running into any of this hate people keep talking about. I'm both furry and brony, and spend time in forums for both fandoms. The only thing I've seen is a serious dislike for spammers one both 'sides' who are incapable of not running their mouth off about their particular fetishes no matter how inappropriate the setting. But then, that's really the same thing as the BDSM people who deliberately 'invade' sci-fi/fantasy cons during the day. Whatever floats your boat, but do you really need to bob it around in front of people who aren't in any way interested?

Haters show to have lower IQs than rocks. The words of a mere stone would be far more valid than theirs.
