  1. yes we did c: just needed more input since still was feeling uneasy around here when I realize there was no reason to. Just me still being prejudice based off of my bad experiences/witnessings so wanted that last little nudge to help calm me into helping my subconscious see that it's ok here who? me? am I 'that woman' Honestly whenever I went on EQD before all I saw was molestia, murdershy ...and i forget the others...but some idea :/ was brought to my attention that i just have shot luck been leaving eqd open and di notice that I am just unlucky But tumblr i guess is like any other community online, just gotta know where to look/go to see the good stuff (non hostile stuff) tho some do sound harsh during personal bad days, then apologize later and then are fine OH NO Don't want to do that at all!! I guess i'll just use the wording "____ tends to cause this auto emotion/thought for me" or idk if you have suggestions
  2. hahaha so this is not blood in and blood out... in the wrong forums then (joking)
  3. Triggering can just mean it triggers a negative emotion/thought It is way more woman than males sexualized in fandoms (other than homestuck from what I know), lets be honest But that's not the point of this same with me labeling myself as such I simply feel really awful about how my mind auto jumps to think brony means some insensitive jerk is all Labels can help people feel less alone Not everyone needs one to feel that way tho
  4. I came off all wrong my bad It mattered since it sounded like op was using it like (brony)boy vs girl And am already fearful about getting pushed out am just so tired of people using flaky statistical data as proof of being like "see this is our fandom" Sure that's not what op is intending, I immaturely acted too quickly I apologize OP, my wording was poor and hostile sounding now that I reread it :/
  5. true c: thank you And I do have high social anxiety so fear being repelling just for this interest -shrug- Also I am touchy with certain things It's a flaw I know I have that and have a hard time telling if something is serious or not :/ -breaths-
  6. haha! I realized that in tags I used to follow becoming more of a drama breeding ground I have been a member for years so have nice blogs I follow already definitely hun! most were suggested from others, and then found some more through those
  7. Oh thank you so much sweetie! And no I'm tumblr addicted, did find clean mlp blogs for me to follow with the other fandoms i'm into So all is content and calm on my personal dash at least... sometimes... less something big happened one fandom
  8. Sorry did I trigger you! can you let me know where if you can! But that makes sense, it just has been drilled into me head that that is what brony means :c and just feel super bad that I feel I may be a bit tense/on guard around here at times cause of it guess will loosen up in time c:
  9. Yeah I know People can be super rude if you're not careful Like now we have to obscure potential searched words since any text in a post is now searchable :/ Thank you for the toy topic tip! I did not know that! Oh god, I forgot about those jerk like people who tend to be in the anti-whatever groups Super annoying when people do that and pose as what they don't like to manipulate others who are on the fence Thank you
  10. Thank you... but it doesn't seem to be just a few, that's the problem (at least in the greater portion of the online fandom) Like I said, even recently those were the first types to show up in my searches, I had to be careful with my wording in google for this forum to finally show up :/ -shrug- I know that, there are good and rotten of everything It's just that those types seem to be dominating in this one or at least speak way louder EDIT: That sounded harsh sorry :c All I mean is that One can sniff out a fandom community of something they like that they feel safe in relatively easily But this one took me about a week of playing with how I worded my search :/
  11. First of all brony is gender neutral Second of all Why does it matter? It may look that way since girls typically feel threatened by the male fan base that became the main fanbase So they won't be as known to be fans Wherever you get your stats from, they will always be flawed there is no possible way to measure the fandom's gender statistics accurately and efficiently
  12. Thank you so much everyone I feel so much better!!! _________________ Asking for some sort of reassurance to help calm me down I seem to have jumped into the fandom when the bad streak was just ending I suppose But it is still engrained in my head what people who called them selves bronies have done (as opposed to people who just call themselves mlp fans) (for what I mean by that) -sigh- I just feel bad that because of the rotten eggs I get defensive and tense when I see the word brony So idk what may help me, but idk if you guys could tell me some reassuring stories, or if there are videos or whatever else... Please don't post rude or insensitive comments I am putting a lot of energy and trust into posting this...
  13. me too... ah well may have been my dyslexia or the way it was worded -shrugs- yeah I was like...what? but...that's the whole reason why guys hugging is a problem? haha
  14. I'm confused by this those have nothing to do with this subject altho they patriarchy does have some to do with this Masculinity is fragile in this society because of it Hugging a guy is seen as a disgrace because it resembles gay now think about that for a second If a hug resembles a relationship or flirting to society as a whole ... Being gay for a male shatters your masculinity title in society almost instantly (even if you fit the bill in every other way) Since being a gay male is seen a feminine and we all know girls are used as jokes all the time "you throw like a girl" "you'll get over it, you're just on your period" etc So I really do not see the humor in your statement The patriarchy harms every single person who breaks the "norm" for any gender why wouldn't you be disgusted by it?
  15. The whole gender and orientation separation biases of this society are embarrassing Do what makes you happy, hun! as long as you aren't hurting anyone (without continuous consent of course) I kinda feel bad for those people at times Personally I know how stressful feeling angry/annoyed almost all the time feels...not fun but yeah man hug who you want as long as they are ok with one! -hugs you-

    mega thread Feminist Club!

    Hello, I hope it's ok for me to try to revive this thread - When and why did you become a feminist? I feel like I have always been in a way, just didn't know it had a name. Even when little I would get frustrated about how us girls were looked down on and treated like weak babies. - Why do you think feminism is still relevant to today's world? Because gender separation and harmful biased assumptions are not over yet! - What is difficult about being a feminist in general? Listening to all the awful things people say and do and knowing you can't do anything about it in regards to the current situation. Fear of losing family over it. - How do you think feminism gets treated in the MLP fandom? ...depends. I feel that the majority is either a bunch of strawmen or the ones who are for rights are the majority but get silenced by the louder part of the fandom. - How does MLP support your feminist values? The creator being a feminist! The show being all for rights and diversity and non prejudice actions! - How do people react when you say you're a feminist? I...don't... I just state what I know and my thoughts on the matter when I can. Then I let the other talk themselves out while they try to defend their hurtful behavior. - What is awesome about being a feminist? Feeling empowered, like I should just give up and let old white men run my base line. - How has feminism affected you personally? When I discovered it was a powerful and positive thing, I did so much research and observing. I became so angry and fed up with the world, but now that I have calmed my mind, I can think rationally about the subject and it feels great! I became better and stating my points too! - What are some good feminist quotes, graphics, or articles? -shrug- A song tho "Protest song, April Maze" "Blurred Lines [feminist parody]" "F*** You, Lily Allen"
  17. So far I read the two comics by http://estories.deviantart.com/ and one by http://tritebristle.deviantart.com/ What fan comics do you like? (and of course, please keep it safe for work)
  18. Oh I see what you mean! I'll play with the reflection on the gem, and probably the eye on the viewer's right also oh ok thank you! The nose is meant to be like a very rounded box Will rotate and make the light reflection larger and the shadow smaller EDIT: Played with it and felt that it makes more sense to have one eye reflection since there is only one light source in this case
  19. http://taxonomicspider.deviantart.com/art/Maplestory-Monster-Lizard-535254390 (Vector) I have always had a hard time with colors for some reason this took longer than was necessary to do Does anyone have any imput on this? I could really use the critique
  20. I was wondering why I feel so down, realized I forgot my meds haha .... -sigh-
