    I'm getting a lot of odd praise for this. Like, ew, you bolded your statement in blue for emphasis, even. Oh, I see you do that for every message. Well, I'm still kind of a hateful, bigoted hater who hates (probably even hypocritical about it as well). Even though I did sign an anti-Uganda Kill the Gays bill thing from this Change.org spam I got from liberal Yahoo. Because even evil has standards. I mean, I've unfriended pretty much my entire family on Facebook because of how much GLBT... actually nowadays they call it LGBT(TIQ?2SA), messages they have on my wall.. actually guess I just find Facebook status updates and posts to be boring in general. I just feel as if I have somehow getting unjust praise... Also... you are up late at nigh/very early morning, cuteycindyhoney, and in the same time zone as me! Oh, yeah, I remember that old idiom now. You have a point there. I don't know what this means. Because fatten people? Oh, also I am a person who actively boycotts Kraft Foods and General Mills solely because of that Facebook post with the six-color Oreo cookie. (I have refused to eat my mother's cheesecake solely because it contained an Oreo crust, but couldn't bring myself to explain why I didn't feel like it... even though it was not something I personally purchased, it is kind of a matter of principle) So I'm still, like, you know. Well, people shouldn't eat the type of krap food products by Kraft and General Mills. That type of food is highly processed. That thing about Cheerios being "heart food" is a bunch of propagandist krap. So I am really not the proper person to represent gay and lesbian peopl-... well maybe some people, no matter what their sexuality, don't like it when big ol' food corporations get all political and are insulted by the measure.

    I don't give a damn about my reputation, living in the past, it's a new generation, love to do what you want to do, well that's what I'm gonna do.

    I've tried to get into them, not the -booru kinds, the -chan kinds that resemble forums. They are basically like regular forums, but in a manner that is less well-navigated. You don't get a nice neat list for created topics, you just go onto a category of board and all the threads are open on one page like a facebook wall. there is the option to minimize thread topics, with that minus sign in a square, but still, they aren't made into links. (well,this was not the case for a board called wakachan, but that site is oddly hard to navigate) Basically, I do not understand why people even use these -chan imageboards and why they are so heavily credited with influencing Internet culture with image macros, when regular forums are technologically capable of having lots of embedded images and video links without slowing down, as far as I know. imageboards have the option, by default even, to post anonymously. But I have scoured the Internet, and their are basically two categories of imageboard that have a SafeForWork section. (although the ads will not be) ones that are so anemically underpopulated that you don't know if anyone will ever comment, and ones that are so active that you can never keep track of a conversation, because gets buried to the point of being no longer available, even with an archiver site. This is basically 4chan. And generally, the people can barely have a coherent conversation that one can keep track of, including on specific-topic boards, as in, not off-topic or random boards. It seems like a form of internet that should have gone totally obsolete sometime in 2007 at least.

    I really dislike the phrase because it is a comparison to homosexuals in the closet. No, we are not in the same situation, and I say that as a generally conservative-ish person. Give credit of legit hardship of keeping a secret where it is due. We male fans of this television cartoon are not going through the same thing as that.

    The Underland Chronicles is full of heartbreaking moments, especially the final book. The author's much more popular follow-up series, The Hunger Games (you know, the one with the blockbuster four-movie series happening), is supposedly "more" violent and gruesome and "mature" but is still less heartbreaking in my opinion. And this exchange in AKIRA: "Something seemed strange about him the moment I saw his face. It's odd, he was wearing what looked like a white hospital gown--He acted like a different person! x asked him, if he was really y or if he was someone else, and then he... x why? And all the dialogue after that, especially when Kaneda crashes x-character's bike implying that he is "killing"/destroying one of the departed's major possessions so it can be in any sort of afterlife with him, whatever that may be.

    I don't live a lifestyle where I can afford things like videogames, so my favorite fandoms have swayed around. The Underland Chronicles, the literary debut of TV writer and novelist Suzanne Collins is pretty much the only thing that I am guaranteed to think about every day or three, along with My Little Pony, largely because it is a shockingly good "children's book series" with mature thematic content. and then there's The Hunger Games. And I'm just your typical "read all the books, seen all the movies" Harry Potter appreciator. I have followed Littlest Pet Shop on The Hub since it premiered and legitimately like it for what it is. I want that show to get a sizeable fandom so I can find more people to discuss it with! Other fandoms that I have been into recently, as in the past three or four years include: AKIRA, the Katsuhiro Otomo anime movie. Death Note Bakuman, up to the first five volumes, but I want to continue Hikaru No Go, and just Takeshi Obata's art style in general. I just really don't like manga and comic books, but Takeshi Obata draws characters in a cute and refreshingly-proportioned way. many Legend of Zelda games Artemis Fowl (I still want to read the last book!) Studio Ghibli movies some Valve games (Half-Life 2, Portal and Portal 2) from playing on a relative's Xbox 360 (as in, I am not an active Valve fanboy, TF2tard or PC gamer). and stuff I've checked out and enjoyed over the years includes: The Amazing World of Gumball every iteration of Linkin Park Super Smash Bros. IGPX Viewtiful Joe I also think that the Jimmy Neutron series has quickly become under-appreciated for how funny it was.

    Yeah, but you didn't specify what part of Pokémon you were into. Was it the videogames? The most recent ones between the beginning of 2010 to the beginning of 2012? Nintendo DS? Older entries? Other things?
  9. GuillermoGage
    How much younger could we be talking here? You just turned thirteen this month--Pokémon? That changes up every few years. What was your first taste of the Pokémon franchise like and when was it?
  10. GuillermoGage
    You know what this looks like to me? It looks like a fourteen-year-old kid (wow, your fourteenth birthday was just yesterday, so just barely fourteen) who wants to use the school paper to gloat about her "Brony-ness" under the guise of being academical or extracurricular. A girl getting into something like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or just My Little Pony in general at the age of thirteen is perfectly common. It's not even ironic. So... when speaking of Bronies, that means you'll sort of be identifying by being a fan of the show, but not personally identifying with being a dude, well into or more likely, well past adolescent years, who likes this show.
  11. GuillermoGage
    I'm 22, and I must emphasize how glad I am that I got into this show after all that high school and peer drama was done and over with. I'm actually one of those people who thinks that the age range of fans on sites like this are exaggerated to be way older than they are, and that the teenage/still in school fans of this show can kind of get annoying what with their always talking about haters and drama and hiding in closets and parental approval. A thirteen/fourteen/fifteen year old boy... is not a "bro" to me. There's enough of an age disparity to have a mini-generational difference there.
  12. GuillermoGage
    It used to be what the mare was referred to by the show creators, up until early 2011. They changed their minds for good and just personally call her Derpy. She is a background character, after all, they can change their minds about these things as they probably have with other background details in the show. Saying that that "featherbrained pegasus Ditzy Doo" refers to the gray mare with yellow eyes and mane is like saying there is a female player character named "Blue" in the Japanese release of the first Pokémon games just because it was in the beta.
  13. GuillermoGage
    You've actually got that wrong. The "Ditzy Doo" mentioned in Winter Wrap-Up is confirmed to by Lauren Faust to strongly enough refer to a gray pegasus yellow-maned mare, where the "featherbrained mare" to be shown in person another time. That, and "Bubbles", "Bubblehead" and "Stoneface" were names used internally by the animators (well, the ones in the Philippine studio). But since early 2011, Canadian producers all just refer to her as "Derpy", with that internet user "Dr. Foreigner"'s "Hooves" surname not really mentioned. For all we know, background characters could be internally nicknamed all sorts of things that we have not been told of. I've accepted that it is Derpy in a Word of God sense. I've also accepted that Tabitha St. Germain's do-over recording is the proper canon depiction of Derpy speaking, because that do-over is the one in which she is being voiced with the knowledge of being a mare.

    movies/tv Best movie of 2012?

    GuillermoGage replied to Brook's topic in Media Discussion

    Buh-buh-but I did search! And I found none that had a poll in them. Maybe if there is a next time, I can privately ask the TreadCreator/OriginalPoster to modify their thing to have a poll in it. Yeah.... lots of those ones are gonna have zero votes, if people here aren't into Oscar bait, but I wanted there to not be a ton of people voting "other".

    movies/tv Best movie of 2012?

    GuillermoGage replied to Brook's topic in Media Discussion

    I figure 30 movies are enough, and I made an "other" option. I tried using the most-popular and well-known movies this year. I wonder if I made a good balance. My vote goes to Zero Dark Thirty.
  16. GuillermoGage
    But that is what Angel is there for. This episode could have gone a lot worse indeed. It could have been lame. I am glad to finally get a worthy Fluttershy episode.
  17. GuillermoGage
    So you are admitting it is biased? (The quick brown Fox News jumps over the lazy dog. Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic.)
  18. GuillermoGage
    But would she follow a movement started in the 20th century? Which is what Wicca is. Yeah, they probably aren't anything from real-life religions centered on human prophets and sages that are from our Earth. But Rarity still worships the stars.
  19. GuillermoGage
    I'd rather not contribute to keeping this thread alive, but now I've gotta say this: Fox News is liberal. Also, it should have more news about foxes. I wonder if conservatives inherently like Princess Celestia. They seem to inherently like Rarity.
  20. GuillermoGage
    It is not about associating with similarities, it is about noticing if an arbitrary connection exists among fans of a character. Like how little black boys like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in a special way. It seems like there are more people who are open about preferring Princess Luna than there are ones who will say they prefer Celestia.
  21. GuillermoGage
    You'd be surprised how arbitrarily some whole fandoms are associated with some things. Like all the Sonic the Hedgehog kiddies on deviantART wanting to remind you, "I believe in Jesus Christ my savior" and Sonic characters praying. Or how people that are into the zombie craze have a sort of right-wing vibe to them. I know there are other things with associations like this.
  22. GuillermoGage
    Yuck, I don't like the change there. Classic SpongeBob was looser and cuter! That might sound like a strange thing to say to people well over about thirty. Classic SpongeBob.
  23. GuillermoGage
    There is someone with a signature saying "read the thread creator's post before posting?, with a tiny pic of a black woman, with tiny text that says "aint nobody got time for that!" EDIT: It is SamtheLegoman. Actually, you did explain your political beliefs, therefore Fluttershy fans are Democrats. ...hey, how can you be a Democrat? You are British, from Wales. Welsh. Do they have a political Party that is called Democrat? And just look up the phrase "fluttershy muslim". Many others imagine her as a Muslim. For me, it is not just because she is "shy" and therefore she wears hijab. It is also because she has this connection with respecting nature in a sort of Islamic like way/vibe.
  24. GuillermoGage
    At least you are responding to my question. The question is not, "is your personality like that of your fave pony", it is, "Are certain personal beliefs associated with ponies even without it being a part of that pony itself?"
  25. GuillermoGage
    Somebody here is blatantly British! My guess is that Marmite is nothing like Nutella...? Nutella is a Canadian product, and it really wasn't in American consciousness until maybe 2006/2007 at the earliest.
