*audible gasp* Blasphemy!

 

Though admittably PInkie was pretty obnoxious to Cranky Doodle Donkey when they first met. To each his own, I suppose.

That makes sense because my father looks like Cranky Doodle when he had his black hair.

No NOT THAT!!!!!

I showed it to them. My father now is a Brony. I am not kidding.

My father now is a Brony. We were watching the Super Squeezy Cider 6000 and my father said he wanted to slap Pinkie Pie because she talks too much and is annoying and random. What do you guys think??

This album is a masterpiece. I recommend a listen immediately.

**hugsforalongtime** i love you too!!!!!! If there are any problems, we can all solve it together, you know, like what a family does. But luckily no problems here. We all in the forums are very kind and loving. We are not some kind of rude group.

Early 2000s when Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon were at best. Cartoon Network is still good today with some shows such as Regular Show and Adventure Time. Nickelodeon is now dead. To be honest the only good shows they have on that channel now is Tuff Puppy and Fairly Odd Parents. Both made by Butch Hartman. Nickelodeon now gets worse by the second. Now with balless Fred it is killed. Spongebob was a classic until season 4. Now he and all of the characters are annoying and they took all the good jokes out and the animation and voice acting is terrible. I miss good old Nick Cartoon Network Shows.

Impractical Jokers. Anypony watch it?

I felt the same sort of when I started off. Don't worry pal, if you need help ask me.

As speculated upon by the administrator of that alternate history forum, it probably has a lot to do with how Friendship is Magic challenges traditional gender stereotypes. Let's face it: society is incredibly sexist. Gender stereotypes are buried everywhere, from various cultural assumptions about career choices, about the nature of entertainment, to our very language where references to male and female anatomy are even used to describe courage and cowardice respectively, among other things.

 

Friendship is Magic challenges these assumptions because it subverts the very nature of girl's entertainment. instead of being full of frou-frou nonsensical garbage the likes of which few females of any age would actually enjoy, it is ridden with complex three dimensional characters, high quality writing, excellent animation, superb story-making and song writing, and an overall wonderful cast and crew. It spits in the face of those who say that girl's entertainment cannot ever be good while simultaneously enrapturing a massive audience on the level of Star Trek or Star Wars fans. It created a community where a fansite can get over one hundred million views in less than a year, where huge amounts of art, music, fanfiction, and other fan works are created every day.

 

At the same time Friendship is Magic has also garnered extreme amounts of hatred from all kinds of different, unusual sources. People who normally espouse beliefs akin to the phrase "love and tolerance" turn into frothing madpeople over the subject, raging away their utter loathing for the show despite the fact that in doing so they betray the very principles they claim to stand for. Of course it has also gained plenty of dislike from the camps you'd expect to see it from, such as chauvanistic blowhards or religious fundamentalists.

 

You add to that the nature of the fandom, the fact that it has grown so massive and is so vocal, even swaying the creators of the show to not only turn a two second animation error into a cameo Where's Waldo character but to then grant that character a voice as well as the name bestowed upon the character by that fandom, and it's only natural you would have significant opposition. The more controversial aspects of the fandom, such as the Rule 34 community, from respected artists such as John Joseco, Slugbox, and Megasweet, to all the clop fic writers, as well as the grimdark content of fics like Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, and Sweet Apple Massacre, give fuel to those who hate it, allowing them to tar the entire fandom with a brush that paints us all as the very worst aspects. To hear some of them you'd think we were all masturbating twenty-four/seven to Molestia atop a pile of pony corpses.

 

I've heard a lot of confusing things from those who hate the show, though almost none of it has been directed at me specfically. Whether it's the more typical accusations of homosexuality--an insult that makes no sense because it is ridden with stereotypes of its own accord, including the stupid notion that being a homosexual is somehow bad--to all kinds of explanations about how pony fans are all either mentally unstable or outright paedophilic. There have also been plenty who've just expressed a complete inability to understand why a male might desire to watch the show in the first place, because they're trapped in their own web of gender stereotypes and cultural idiocy. And, as I said, I've heard hatred even from those who espouse tolerance, who claim to buck gender stereotypes and treat the genders equally, and while the words are often different, the meaning almost invariably comes down to them being unable to live up to what they claim to believe.

 

In short, the subject is so controversial because it stands as an example of why so many of our cultural stereotypes are outright wrong, and plenty of people don't like that fact.

Amazing words my good friend. One of the main parts of fandom will be inevitability. There will always be haters and lovers of a show. No matter how much you don't want it to happen, it will happen. I have heard about the Pony Wars. To me it is just people who completely despise the show showing their stereotypical insults to the fandom while the fans try to stop it. It happens in every fandom no matter what. Anybody will make all the smut and gore they want out of any story. It will always happen and there is no way to stop it, absolutely no way. A thing that drives me nuts and is very idiotic is when people try to fight inevitability. They think they can form a huge group against another and fight it off. It doesn't work that way. Even a majority form of hatred comes from somebody's opinion. While the rest will diss it. The bigger the fandom the bigger the fights. With My Little Pony, it gets worse. The reason is everbody will say it is for girls. And that is the trolls main saying of the fandom. You are totally correct about the show. It has very rich writing with beautiful visuals and perfect compositions of music. To me it is one of my favorite cartoons ever made and I think the show has so very much talent then most cartoons made today. Lauren Faust made the show for kids and their parents. Including male parents. The people who troll about the show just probably have little knowledge or never seen it and just the pictures and judged it by the title and cover. You know what, there will be all sorts of people different then us with different actions and opinions and we work with the people everyday. There will always be people who think they can say what they want about something. Trolls can do that since they are on the internet and can remain anonymous. Judging someones sexuality on their love for a fandom is so stupid and childish, I don't have to say anything because we all know about how ridiculous it is. If I was interested in this show back in late 2010 and knew about the popularity of the fandom, I could already estimate that there will be a Pony Wars. It just happens no matter what. I don't really like the disgusting fanart and stories the fans of MLP FIM write but like I said before, it is inevitable. I am just thankful I was born with very understandable and respectful knowledge and didn't end up like one of those cowards who judge all sorts of things by the looks. I love you all everypony, no matter what and I hope you understand that.

Picture of me in July of 2010. Before My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic aired. Look at my beautiful mane.

He, it all the depends on how you do it.

 

I for example, casually told my friends I watched my little pony the day after I did it for the first time, when I still wasn't a brony. And most of them knew that the internet was full of them ans werent surprised. One of them even said he liked them, but it sounds more like he likes the memes but has never watched the show. Thats for the ones who do use the internet.

 

For those who dont it was even funnier. One of my friends who is really cool (Listen to this, he is a typical sports jock who talks about women and sports all day, but he also proudly listens to romantic stuff that other people call gay music. I mean, he even listens justin bieber! And also I've got another friend who is also similar, but he might be even more girly overall, so its not that weird) said he had watched the show on tv with his little sister and liked it, and the other one said that too!

 

And I even mentioned pinkie pie and some guy who I had never ever expected to know about it inmeaditly reacted!

 

Internetzy stuff tend to hit really hard in Chile, and I'm quite happy with it

Neat. I just found another Brony in my school!!! I am happy.

 

My sister is around 11 years old. She laughed at me when I told her I watched FiM. She said that the My Little Pony she used to watch on DVD and VHS looked better than it.

 

> ?

 

...nope. My sis is insane.

She had a very beautiful voice. She had such amazing performances. She will be missed.

That Chatroom scarred me.

Because MLP FIM changed my life.

Homework makes students less smart. True

Well that is fine. That chatroom was getting extremely insane. I couldn't stand it.

Just a game? It's the Super Bowl. The BIG game, not just any regular weekend, Super Bowl weekend.

 

 

 

The Giants did it again. Beat the Pats with a scoring touchdown and hold it off till the clock ran out. Take that Brady!

Still a game.

It really fucking hurts to say this, but, the NY Giants are world champions. My hat's off to them...

Its just a game. I know you show all the pride in the world over the Patriots but really, it is life.

Its just a football game. Whoever wins wins. I just watch the Superbowl for the commercials.

That is really me in the window. This was not taken in 2007. You see, this picture was taken from a DVR Sunglasses so I guess that is when the year when the sunglasses came out. That is why you see those Sunglasses in the picture. I will take way better pictures then this. My mane looks neat, doesn't it.

I want to live to be kind and show love. I also choose to never ever drink alcohol or smoke in my life. I want to live a healthy life. I also live to help others with any problem they have. My ambition in life is to be a Sci Fi writer.

I might post a picture of me and Rainbow Dash and Derpy in my room watching the Super Bowl.

Don't worry, none of your nightmares will become real. Why don't you try Lucid Dreaming.
