Anti Bronies vs Bronies: Everyone Should See This

[NightGuard 251]

The Main Issue Between Bronies and Anti Bronies:

 

Everypony should watch this and watch his other anti brony videos. He explains in his videos that we shouldn't take example from the most vocal in our groups as they are not the majority amongst us. In another video he has a podcast with an anti-brony and believe it or not the anti brony makes valid points and is friendly with those in the comments (Whether they disagreed or not...).

 

I hope DrWolf's videos can show you the light and make you rethink the debate.

Good vid,tho it's stating the obvious..atleast to me.

[man dude man 555]

Well, the thing is, the whole idea of an "anti anything" group is the fact that you oppose its idea. If you oppose the idea of a body of people, than how are you suppose to  be friendly with the opposing party. It doesnt make much sense.

It's called "Tolerance" my friend.

I am not denying my ability to tolerant an anti brony, I am doubting the ability of an (anti) brony to tolerate that of which he is in a group to oppose.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

So just because they are a anti-brony they are automatically going to be incapable of tolerance? Bronies are not the only people who can tolerate.

[Arctic Night 884]

This video made me really sad. He talks about these morons babbling on the internet like someone would refer to Aristotle vs Democritus. Really, how are anti-bronies a threat to anyone. They aren't? Then who cares?

 

Most "anti-bronies" (a term thrown around quite arbitrarily)  don't bother me. What bothers me is when people treat this like it's a relevant discussion. We should not just be reducing "arguments," we should be eliminating unnecessary babble altogether. It's a television show.

 

The creator of the video is encouraging us to "get involved." I urge the brony community to not become involved. Because from the outside of both viewpoints, it looks like nonsense talk.

 

 

I'm sorry if I came off as the "rude, vocal minority" but I really don't see why this is a thing.

Almost exactly the point, an anti brony is to tolerating a brony, as a nazi is to tolerating a jew, or the kkk is to tolerating an african american. Its the fact that they are in a hate group for another sub group. If they hate they show and not the bronies, they shouldnt classify themselves as "anti bronies" but "anti my little pony".

[Shanks 10,816]

Honestly when are people going to realize that a true "anti brony" is someone who actively goes out of their way to hate on and troll bronies. People who are civil and rational toward bronies even if it is not their thing are NOT anti bronies. They might take issue with some parts of the fandom, I do too but anyone who actually goes out of their way to make a point that they are an "anti brony" is not being tolerant they are being an asshole and I have nothing to say to them.

[Standard User 2,127]

I think this issue has been brought up...hold on, lemme do some quick calculations. Ah, yes, just what I thought: it has been brought up more than enough times.

 

There are people who don't like the show. There are people who do. And the more we make it a big deal and put light on the subject, the more "flames" are fanned. Just drop it and go do other, more important things with your life.

 

If we haven't figured out by now that there are extremely vocal people on both sides of the issue and that they are both equally ridiculous, something is very wrong.

But their entire group structure is built to be anti to the interests and goals of the bronydom. Thus the name "anti-brony" you cannot be a tolerant anti-brony, because then one would not be anti, as you are not fully opposed to the ideals held by the group that calls themselves bronies.

 

 

And does is this really still relevant? Out side of fringe Fox News reports, and some leftist MSNBC gaff, the world at large does not care that you watch FiM. No need to waste effort in this crusade.

[Felix 1,363]

I agree whole heartedly with what he said, but I just want to know why there even has to be a disagreement.

 

Why can't we like a show, why can't others hate or dislike a show, without either of the members making a big deal out of it? It's just a show. If you like it and are apart of the fandom, cool, glad you could be apart of us. If you don't like the fandom and the show, also cool, that's your opinion and there's no reason to go bugging you to watch or feel a certain way you don't want to. People treat it all like we're enemies when, as DrWolf said, not all "anti bronies" are even that way. If we both left each other alone and merely ignored those that intentionally wanted to make a deal and frustrate people, we wouldn't have to even give a title to a group that we call the anti bronies. Instead we'd be off each other's backs and it would be a simple "These guys like the show, they don't like the show, and that's cool. No problem."

 

But I know...I'm also trying to basically get those that start the arguments to stop, or those that participate to stop, when you can't really do that...How I wish we could just shake hands though.

[man dude man 555]

It just doesnt matter, the only people who make it a thing, are anti bronies, if they dont like bronies, or mlp, they should just avoid the content, they go out of their way to attack bronies, some bronies retaliate, thus it will never end. but the anti creates the fire, that the non anti only fan. It will never end until we can either A. let the antis troll an empty audience, or B. they cease their actions.

Right. So a brony has never gone bat shit crazy with pony gifs and memes all over a site in efforts to piss people off and troll them just for shits and giggles and not in 'retaliation'....

[Shanks 10,816]

I do, a bunch of immature little trolls who hate on people for liking a harmless show don't. The haters started it and want there to be a conflict which is exactly why I wish bronies wouldn't give them what they want by giving them attention. I ignore them because they are not worth my time, watching paint dry would be a better use of my time.

To me it is no big deal, but haters make a big deal out of it by going out of their way to hate on and troll bronies and a lot of bronies make a bigger deal out of it than they should by either taking their bait or being way too pushy with getting others into the show.

[man dude man 555]

I think you are referring to a Troll that happens to be a brony, but that isnt caused by being a brony, but by being a troll, like anti bronies all are.

[Bendy 1,821]

There are some Bronies in this fandom I hate. I don't pick fights with them, but the sheer amount of egotistical, cynical anti human misanthropes and judgmental moral knights I've come across in this fandom has infuriated me in the past.

 

Don't get me wrong, I like many Bronies. However, I've met (online) some that I hate. And believe me, some of the fans I met would create haters for us.

 

 

Oh and unfronately some bronies are easy targets for trolls.

OH PLEASE! Don't act like you've seen the light of Jesus here okay?

I've been trying at times to get involved but every time i try to say something in the form of "Yes... but..." i've been silenced, edited, banned... because apparently as one page user said "I will never agree with them." I am not against anti-bronies i am against the stubborness of some people to see only the negative aspect of something and enjoy belittling everything about MLP:FiM just to prove their arguement. They just want to "Make us dissasociate with those toxic people". Or they tend to create an image about the term brony.... Assumption is the mother of all f@ckups as they say... too bad far too many people haven't understood that.

While i have met more... logical anti bronies... They too have "fought" in a way with what i say. E.g. I said that Queen Chrysalis reminds me and inspires me to see Sylvannas Windrunner the Banshee Queen in her place. I was met with responses "Don't EVER mix those two..." yea... that kind. I don't understand the whole existance of anti-movement... and why should someone even call himself anti-brony when, as from what i understand from the video, they are just against drama alltogether... I'll tell you what... i won't go to an anti-brony page again because most of the time whenever i go to ANY anti-brony page on fb ((because most of them are indeed in facebook)) i kinda feel depressed and filled with "Mind Cancer". This mind seem exaggerating to you but i am allergic to drama... i am even more allergic to stubbornly un-talkable people...

So in the end i am just gonna do what i always do... stay a brony and not give a flying damn about anti-bronies. But in any case if i am offended i WILL NOT sit down idly while i am insulted. I do have to love and tolerate people around me but that doesn't mean i have to accept ridiculous jackasses that try "PUSH" their arguement in my face. I will not let ANYONE's standards apply to my own life.

Yes of course but that dosen't excuse the whole "bronies are fags", "bronies and pedophiles" "bronies are autistic manchildren" arguments which make them just as bad.

So a anti-brony is automatically a troll,yet a brony is only a troll because they 'happen' to be a brony also? 

[man dude man 555]

well, yes almost percisely, their group was created to attack another group. Like I said, soon the nazis and jews will be gushing over a hot cup of tea and the kkk will be meeting with al sharpton for games of putt putt. I mean co existing, and ignoring people is possible, but hate groups tolerating what they were bred to hate, nah.

A false equivalency, and an offensive one at that. You are comparing internet trolls with two of the most notorious hate groups in history. Anti bronies say rude and idiotic things. Nazis were responsible for genocide. Let's not go there, please.

 

Do you know why these trolls still exist? It's because there are still people that feed them. There are still people playing the persecution game because they can't stand some kid's Youtube video that says things like "bronies er gay hahahaha."

 

No offense, but it's time we've moved on.

 

I don't think the OP wanted a huge flame war involving nazis and hate groups. That's kind of why this thread exists; to rid ourselves of such arguments.

 

How are anti bronies, as a whole, inherently harmful to anyone?

[Shanks 10,816]

There is a huge difference between not agreeing with something yet tolerating its existence and forming groups to actively oppose it.

A lot of people are bullied for simply liking this show, in the case of Michael Morones to the point where he attempted suicide. And if you saw the brony documentary you will see that there are even some cases where some may even resort to violence. You are right to say that the trolls should not be fed and that too many bronies are feeding them but any kind of blind hatred especially for such a stupid and ridiculous reason is harmful. So yes lets not feed trolls but let us also be aware that there are some haters that are willing to go to extremes.

 Yay,someone who is thinking this through.

 

This entire argument is stupid and only exist because neither side will shut up and go back to there daily lives. 

 

Why this stupid video even needed to be made is beyond me,why this discussion even exist is beyond me.
