  1. The whole intent is for it to be a large metaphor for the debate at hand. What i meant is exactly what you said: the bronies back then were not caring about the hate headed their way. in essence, the right way to deal with the hate. Similar to the just cause the militaries had back then, the best way to deal with the crisis at hand, which is why i drew the parallel. 

     

    Also, the connection offers another insight; i am showing that it was worse back then then now. i know how badly hated they were in 2011; i was there. I was also just making the link between the fact we have the gung-ho over-reactors of today, trying to fight hate like its 2011 all over again. that is what i meant by "fighting for former glory". As its like they are simply trying to seem so heroic to go on a crusade, even though no one asked for any trouble.

     

     what I linked to 'glory days' is people trying to fight an enemy(haters)that is not there. basically, looking for a fight when there is'nt one. its not about glory. it is the military parallel I was drawing, how they also are looking for an "enemy" to fight when there is a lull in the action, and how all of them are foolish in that manner, as all they end up doing is damaging everyone else for no reason.

     

    Yes, but what you said has its differences. I said bronies weren't seeking hate or fighting, they're looking to justify something that doesn't need justification by going off on anything that puts MLP or the fandom in anything less than 'neutral' light.

    What are you getting at with this? Bronies were FAR more hated in 2011 than they are now, and bronies either gave 0 shits and didn't argue or fight back at all or just took it, most people just keep their mouths shut now so it's not much to worry about. Most of the older fans probably don't want to put up with that bullshit and newer fans don't even know what that bullshit is like, so so much for that 'reliving the glory days' theory. Also, in my opinion, nothing was glorious about 2011.

  3. Really, here's my view on it:

    A vast majority of MLP-hating community don't even give a shit anymore, as far as I know. Why? Because the fandom is so damn big and has been here for so long, it's not worth giving a shit. What's the point in doing so if it's not going to change anything? You'll hate the show all you want, you'll hate the community all you want, but that won't make a difference. What WILL make a difference is being so vocal that you'll become less desirable in the eyes of bronies, non-bronies, and even some anti-bronies. The bigger problem is the MLP community. Back in 2010 and 2011 when it was a relatively small community (I said relatively, I know it was still fuckin' big) and the MLP haters were more out there and in your face. Most chose to ignore it. But now, the way the community is and what with the newer members who take this shit so personally, you can't say one thing below neutral of MLP or at least one person's bound to go off on you, whether or not it's meant to be ironic or silly, or you were being entirely serious.

     

    tl;dr: Bronies feel even more like this shit's taboo, so they'll go on a verbal holy crusade to defend their girly ponyish honor.


    I'd really love it if the brony community as a whole would just die, to be honest. You can hate me all you want for this, but the Internet would be better off if either the community was less obnoxious or just didn't exist.

  4. I haven't heard of a release date yet, sorry. :/ I don't really think It'll be in fall though, also I've been hearing things about a movie for it that comes out on September 14th. 

     

    I thought I read somewhere that that was actually confirmed. 

    I too am awaiting the second season, can't wait for its release.

  5. Still want that DOTA 2 key?

     

    I hadn't noticed that someone had replied to this topic, sorry for the very late response. Please quote me so i know you've replied.

     

    Is CoH still available? If so, can I have it? 

    I'm a bit limited in terms of what I have to play right now, because my friend's getting a bit bothersome with TF2 and L4D2's pretty much filled with trolls and griefers.
