I find it extremely amusing that the majority of bronies--or everyone, really--apparently have a "depressing" life and complain that nobody cares for them. I, frankly, think that many of them are just trying to get attention, and I've personally known someone who plays video games and has a crapload of free time and says that he's depressed. Why the members of MLPforums always have some sort of sob story is beyond me. I know that there ARE many depressed people, that's for sure, but I very much doubt that the majority are.
Quite. Alicorn Twilight is a big change and you have every right to complain about it, but must it blow up into...shall we call it...a "shitstorm"? There are bronies who tried to shove a petition to get unicorn Twilight back in my face and those who called me a "traitor" for being completely nonchalant about Twilicorn. That might be the minority, but they're really quite vocal and it's not something that non-bronies will just not notice.
Oh, and the Derpygate thing...ugh. So tired of trying to... Derpy did not even get removed from that scene, her voice simply changed and that did no harm whatsoever, and yet bronies reacted as if their mother had died or something. Derpy, however her fans may see her, was presented in the Last Roundup as a comedy character, something for people to laugh at, and also part of the reason why Applejack wanted to give the prize money to Ponyville. She is not presented as some symbol of rebellion for disabled people, and I don't get why people think that, I really don't.
Well, sometimes they run across art like this accidentally, y'know? Google or deviantART search, and you just might find a mix of a pony and a Pokemon in the mass of art that a non-brony might actually want to see.
I must look really stupid defending haters, but frankly they have reasons to do so.
