Mainstream Media's view of "Bronies"

[The Euphonium Brony 134]

The other day, I read an article called, "The problem with bronies: a look at the corruption of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," and if you'd like to see for yourself, the link is here:

 

http://www.citypaper.com/blogs/noise/bcp-the-problem-with-bronies-20140801,0,1667255.story

 

My question after reading the article is this, "Why can't guys be sensitive?" Since I began watching MLP: FiM, i've become a much better person, because through these characters, I feel like a I learn a little bit about myself everyday. I admit that I've been bullied long before I liked MLP, and probably will be long after, but being called a "greasy nerd" and "pedophile" by a legitimate news company? It's just sad. I thought that America was a land of Racial and (beginning to be) Sexually tolerant country. I understand not everyone feels this way. I'd be ignorant to think otherwise, but just because I watch a show designed for kids does not mean I'm a "pedophile" and into "Clopping" and "Horse Fetish's"

 

I love forum like this around the internet because I believe it's a medium for people to express thier minds freely with people who understand and respect opinions. Sorry for standing on a soap box, but I hate people who don't know what they are writing calling something I'm not.

 

Thank you all for reading

The author sounds more like a self righteous white knight asswipe who just has a problem with the bronies who just so happen to engage in the so called "dark" side of the fandom and people that don't want to castigate and scapegoat to me that guy likes ponies=homosexual/pedophile/manchild arguments that haters often use to me at least. The author dosen't seem to have a problem with guys liking ponies but is still being petty, judgmental and bigoted with all of the sweeping generalizations about certain things in the brony fandom that he has a problem with. Regardless though I don't see why we should pay attention to anything like this, the author has a point about clop appearing in safe search but it still dosen't justify all the scapegoating.

Is that person a feminist? In all due honesty, I couldn't finish reading that. I'm relatively new to the fandom, but I know fandoms have all sorts of different people in them, and it's unfair to judge an entire fandom based on one sub-group. I don't approve of porn art or any of the related stuff mentioned in that article, but all kinds of fandoms have fans who draw such art, or write such fanfic. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on Bronies. For all I know, I could be atypical for a member of the fandom, but I highly doubt more than a fraction of the fanbase is into that fetishy stuff that tarnishes its reputation.

[Banul 3,831]

Meh, standard "look at all these sex crazed deviants" sweeping generalizations.Nothing to see here, really. People are going to judge. Best to prove them wrong by example, and ignore the ones who won't accept us. This won't be the last time we're going to see articles like this.

 because male-dominated nerd culture is a plague on society that insists on getting its greasy handprints all over anything

Okay, is this sarcasm

So this guy hates nerd cuture from the get-go first of all

Second of all this guy is clearly a Professonal-Generalizing-Asshole

 

 

This is the idea of a "My Little Pony" fan admitting to family and friends that he likes the show after hiding it in fear of judgment and scorn. This is an insulting trivialization of the struggles that Queer people go through in the coming-out process

Queer=Gay

So now he is saying that accosiating the process of telling your parents you are gay with Telling your parents you are a brony is an Insult to Telling your parents you are gay, ya know not insulting bronies by being accosiated with that in the first place

Professonal-Generalizing-Asshole

 

 

If bronies were to actually embrace the ideas of the show, they would vilify these outliers of the fandom

Hmm Or maybe they just dont care what people fap to

 

 

 It's mind-blowing that bronies could corrupt these pre-K-level ideals of being a good person and instead turn a blind to the corruption of a kid's show and cry about imaginary oppression.

What?

Im honestly Confused

 

 

 You're perpetuating the worst parts of the community by defending them, rather then condemning them, making "bronies" nothing but bigoted rape-apologists. Even if you are a "good brony" then you're still a part of the problem if you keep your mouth shut. "Those who are silent when others are oppressed are guilty of oppression

Rape....  *facehoof*

If fapping to pony porn is rape then fapping to normal porn is rape

Get your facts straight asshole!

 

 

In short, the label "brony" is ruined. It's garbage. Throw it out. Never use it again. The name is so closely linked to the awfulness of certain members that calling yourself one is aligning yourself with these jerks.

Why? The term "clopper" is accosiated with clopping so brony is still perfectly fine

I Skipped alot and just took the retarded quotes

Professonal-Generalizing-Asshole

[Hovershy 3,814]

The first thing she says is "Dudes ruin everything."  :okiedokielokie:

 

Yeah, I'm not reading this garbage.

[Yurikun 34]

um... sounds like a professional Hater here.

[A Majestic Keldeo 42]

I didn't even bother reading that because I know what to expect from that piece of crap.

ikik, I was so angry when I first read it, I had to walk away from my computer screen 

[Eliash147 159]

It was pretty hilarious for me

[The Euphonium Brony 134]

xD I guess it could be seen as a giant joke 

[Eliash147 159]

xD I guess it could be seen as a giant joke

I Just find it very stupid that someone has such beliefs to the point of it being funny

even though theres porn for every cartoon show ever and creapy fanfiction and erotic fiction for other fandooms were the worst appearintly.

[SeraphStar 398]

Who let's little kids use Google Images with SafeSearch off? I'm just sayin'. (I've also never heard of City Paper, but meh)

 

This guy sounds like your typical buffoon trying to be feminist-chic by saying, "Look at doze dewdz ruin evrything."

 

Just ignore him. :okiedokielokie:

[Luna 831 466]

I think they are just saying the same old news it a different tune. Keep calm and flutter on.

FYI; I jumped everyponies post after seeing that to type thus; [spoiler, I DONT believe in Political Correctness; I will be blunt but clean]

 

Okay first off this is either, A someone who got picked on for being a brony by society. B someone who need an ejection from his bubble and hiding behind "Religion and Truth" veil. Then there is C, needs to get a buckin clue before openin his trap.

 

Personally yeah nopony should threaten anypony because she/he is against something.  It's free speech to express likes and dislikes, however there are very fine lines.  That little girl may never watch the show or speak to a fellow fan of it ever again thanks to those stupid morons. I mean how dumb can you get seriously?

 

Another thing, I have safe search off CONSTANTLY, yet it would take adding additional words to gain a result like that. Moreover the desire to go out of the way to search that up? It makes me question the writer more than the artist itself.

 

Finally, #Notallbronies?  *facehoof* That has got to be the dumbest # yet. EVER! Yet at the same time not all bronies do like clopping, searching these things up, take the time to be like that.  I ain't gonna lie I barely have time until the dead of night EST time zone to actually keep up within the fandom, watch the new episode, and get on the forums. Yet I love the show for it's face value and love the music people make. I am still a brony yes, but I aint the weekend reporter tryin to make a buck on a website for spewing hate out on "a collective" as so many do choose to herd us as.

 

Bottom line, I'm proud to be a brony, and this person needs to dig their head from their hind quarters pronto

*facehoof* btw wanted to say lol we both did that.

 

More importantly.... another dumb mislead fool.

 

I'd rather listen to 11 year olds drop F bombs all afternoon then read this crap.  Sorry you don't like it, but don't be the doink tryin to raise chaos on others lives. Also one last thing.... roping us in with another group to say we are all one said thing? *double facehoof* To those who are I mean ZERO offense here, but NEVER misuse the English Language to describe something or someone.  If this was 1990, yes we would all be "gay fans (AKA HAPPY) where it is 2014 and that's an offense word when used wrong, we ain't gay.  We are just a group of people who went "Click" hey I like this.

 

Seriously though why does EVERY anti-brony article start with in about the same manner "Eradicate these freaks"? If they'd like I'd be happy to buck a mirror at them to raise a point....
