Things You Dislike, That Most Bronies Like; And Why


Castle Bleck

Recommended Posts

I'm gonna get like..lynched for this or something...

 

But I can't stand shipping for the most part...like...if it's canon, cool...if not...keep it in your head.

 

 

 

ESPECIALLY the whole Lyra Bon-Bon thing...I'm sooooo tired of seeing the "This ship has sailed!" posts...

 

we seriously DON'T KNOW the motive of that scene, and I doubt any of the writers will ever elaborate on it...

 

So I'm gonna go with what's been written, that they're just best friends, if it proves me wrong later? so be it.

 

 

 

But for now, I choose to walk the canon side of life. (However, your differences of opinion is welcomed and respected)

If it's not ponies it's not good. That's the thought I hate. I feel the only reason mlp is popular is because the way it is animated with little cartoon horses with anime-esc eyes.

Take Equestria Girls for example. If that plot line was twisted a little bit and was somehow with ponies I bet it would get a lot more love. Personally I liked the movie, it felt like every other episode. Hating EG for not being having ponies is like hating mlp for being aimed at like 7 year olds.

 

Note: Clearly not every brony is like this

I don't really "hate" anything in our fandom, but some things I DISLIKE are...

 

Shipping - WHY OH WHY DO YOU WANT PINK CARTOON PONIES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER? Really, I don't get it.

 

Waifu's - Same as above, but replace each other with you. I only have one SEMI-Waifu in everything I know, and that's Kumatora from Mother 3. (Seriously, who WOULDN'T have a crush on her if she was real? Butt-kicking tomboy with magic powers FTW!)

 

I don't really care about cloppers, though. You can't control what you're sexually attracted to. Heck, even I have a minor fetish of sorts.

 

Honourable Mention

 

Rainbow Dash - She's okay, definitely not my least favourite, but she gets way over-hyped!

 

That said, if you like any of the above - don't be offended. It's just my opinion.

No one thinks like that, do they? 

 

If they do, take ten points away from "faith in humanity".

 

If they don't add five points to "faith in humanity".

 

Also, MLP is not aimed at 7 year olds. People stop liking it at 6 in most cases.

I can’t think of many but I have three

 

-        My Little Dashie, it’s badly written and makes me cringe. Some people cry, and hey if you get emotional to stories or whatever fine but the emotional parts in that are so forced and horrible

-        Some of the popular music artists I can’t stand like Living Tombstone and Aucostic Brony, I don’t hate all of it though and I’ve loved Simgretinas music before he even did MLP song’s

-        I do find it annoying when people get a bit stuck on the topic of “Brony fandom”, past the point of it being a bunch of MLP fans or the show but when it almost sounds more like some cult or something

 

That’s all I can think of :)

Same as shipping, the waifu claiming went to the extreme in the fandom, to the point of depression in some cases like Twily and the Waifu Thief. Hell, I got a waifu, it's an OC though, but I'm not gonna fall into an existential crisis if she were taken >_>

Oh yeah, Lyra and Bonnie, is one of the most classic rub in your face shippings that got out of control, and with their scene in Rainbow Rocks it worsened. Same with dislectia, fluttercord, that one with Octavia and Vinyl

Fall Of The Crystal Empire by Silly Filly Studios.

 

Bronies: "Sombra finally got character-development!"

 

Me: "He was the same For The Evulz overlord from the show. Only now he was overconfident, monologue-y, and cowardly when facing defeat (unlike the no-nonsense trapmaster whose dying moments were spent trying to bully the Crystal Ponies one last time). Also, Luna/NMM being the one to banish the Empire didn't even make microcosmic sense. The trailer was more original than this."

Yes I actually liked the way Celestia and Luna simply banished him in the show and not a full on fight. And I realized I didn't like Sombra in this. It is technically impressive so I'll give them credit for their effort.

 

Also Luna isn't my favorite princess.

 

I barely care about a majority of fanfiction and I don't care for the Fallout Equestria crossover.

The Living Tombstone's slightly boring, IMO.

I can't stand most everything he sings >.< Love Me Cheerilee, now that I can stand...but I try to listen to Magic because I like the intro, and that "seen it befo-OORe" line always gets me. XP

I'm gonna say it right now. 

 

I hate the midset that the show going downhill and how people seem to try way too hard to declare an episode bad. This mainly started during season 3 with Byter, but it got worse during season when more critics started trying to pull stuff out of nowhere, just to say the episode was bad. Now, not all critics do this, just some of them.

Derpy: There is nothing interesting about her and I don't know why the fandom latched on to her like they did. One pony in a crowd scene had googly eyes. It was a mildly amusing Easter Egg, and that's it. And thanks to the cancer that is Derpy, we have what should have been an uncontroversial Applejack focused episode instead will forever be associated with a bunch of stupid drama over a one-note character.

 

"Doctor Whooves": FFS he doesn't even have a British accent!

- Bronies hating others for clopping. (Ain't there that whole love & TOLERATE statement?)

 

This is a big one for me. Even the ones who don't say outright hateful things about cloppers will say something like "well, not all bronies are like them" to distance themselves from cloppers, as if clopping is not something normal to do. Perhaps it's a little odd that it's being directed at ponies, but who cares, right? People have different interests and I'm kind of getting sick of the shaming that people do revolving it.

 

Things I don't like that other Bronies do like:

 

 

When people base their opinions of a character on fan-invented traits that have never been verified by the show.

 

When people use the name Pinkamena to refer to Pinkie Pie when her hair goes flat, as if she has a split personality or something.

 

Those two correlate an awful lot, don't they? :P

 

I find the interpretation of Pinkie Pie being psychotic interesting - or at least, it was at first. People just do it for the sake of being dark instead of exploring how her character could genuinely become that way... Makes it wasted potential in my opinion.

 

I'm sorry, but I didn't care that much for My Little Dashie.  :blush:

 

To be honest, My Little Dashie was very much fanservice to the extreme and I'm just not into that sort of thing, so I'm in the same position as you.

I'm going to kind of list two excuses people use for hating these guys..

 

Flash Sentry - "Because he's a dumb waifu stealer."

 

See, my problem with Flash Sentry is that, he's just a bland character pretty much put in for no reason other than a love interest, but that excuse is just stupid. 

 

Characters who.. - "She made Fluttershy cry!"

 

Are you guys serious? It's not just stupid, it's also kind of hypocritical. Fluttershy's made other ponies cry after this, and she's forgiven at the drop of a hat, but if other ponies make Fluttershy cry, it's the end of the world, I mean..

Nice guy, but just... there.

hate isn't really a proper term, but I never really liked the hype for a lot of background characters, I never pay attention to them and when they get brought up, I can't help but feel weird for not knowing who their talking about.

I know the ones like derpy and miss cheerilee.

but only because I've seen tons of Derpy fan art, and Hearts and Hooves day is one of my fave eps.

if their not featured in the story my brain skips over them.

 

I've seen every episode and talk of background ponies make me feel like an episode-one-noob. :(

me no likey

Rainbow Falls is the one exception; I'll bash it 'til my dying-day.

I find this thread very amusing and mostly agreeable. I'm not surprised, Anonymous Villain is here  :derp: .

 

Fanfictions (some exceptions) and Shipping (almost no exceptions) are one of the urks of the fandom. Most are poorly written, have a sloppy story, and/or very uninteresting. Those Blue Wings, for example, was one that would have been better off without the shipping. Dusk Shine was a bomb from the start. My Little Dashie...well, I personally didn't hate it, but the storyline had large holes. 

 

I am also disappointed by the writers of the show trying to please the bronies. Don't feed them!!!

post-18984-0-79845300-1399345014.gif oh okay what i think the most about bronies like well... where should i start?
okay, first of all dont get me wrong, i do love this fandom but theres really few things i dislike, and i dislike so much allow me to list them:
 
 
post-18984-0-35675300-1399344126.gif First of all i dont like hipocrites, people who say on a motto or personal message "am as cheerful as Pinkie!" "am the nicest mare you ever meet" "im shy but am kind like Flutters" and those are as boring as fuck. they say that those are like pinkie, or dashie or any nice mare but always "am depressed..." "am bored..." "am busy playing videogame" i mean come on! if you are a serious brony dont say you feel identified with Pinkie cuz lady/gentleman you are not.
 
post-18984-0-43211000-1399339235.gif second thing is the radical fanboys, allow me to tell you a story:
During the first years as a brony, i confess that i was interested in the Dark Side of the Bronyism (clop and gore) and am not anymore well cuz is a disrespect for the target audience of the show, but anyways i enter in this page of Fimfiction, and i made a clopfic about Rarity in second person (that means YOU) it was my first story and maybe i consider it normal to get dislikes, but there was a user who insulted me, using really heavy words cuz Rarity was his waifu, i didnt insult him back cuz unlike him, i do had the lucky of have a mother and a father who teached me of good manners. Am not aganist the people who marry the pony, am not aganist the guy who married Twilight Plushie or other persons who "marry" the pony, those have been wonderful persons with me but come on, if the pony exists am sure they would dump the persons who insult another.
That includes the people who literally HATE the relationship of Twilight and Flash Sentry, okay, Hasbro may screw up in adding a relationship on a pony who didnt need it at all and Flash only exists as a tool for a high school drama like EG to recreate the good looking guy who love the protagonist, but begin to cry and be upset for that!? how old are those persons? i would understand in 5 years old kid that scream and cry if something doesnt go according to what he likes but come on, also i read in a page that someone send death treats to Hasbro Studios for EG... EPIC FACEDESK... i mean that kind of crap have them on their minds? 
"oh! but they stole my waifu Twily" yeah, but for all those people who make the treats: man, you are pathetic, not only give us a bad name, but also you attacked out Holy Grial that is Hasbro Studios for bringing hope and harmony in the form of a show, if Twilight exists, she would never ever pick you for being something we call in my country a huevon... 
if you are brony and take anypony as a waifu, is okay, is very nice, but dont start a public drama if you see your waifu with another pony cuz the owners of the show and the pony is Hasbro, not you, and if the pony is with anypony else is because it was meant to and you cant do anything about it and if you send death treats, you obviously are a sick person who needs help
 
post-18984-0-79845300-1399345014.gif Personally i do not have anything aganist bronies, but the oposite, i just hate those kind of people, i dont love and tolerate cuz am a human, unlike the hipocrites that i mentioned, i do consider myself a nice person, and i talk with good manners and i admit am serious but not boring, i can handle a good conversation.
 
post-18984-0-35101900-1382393131.png i do have to admit that is extremly funny that bronies put names on relationships and almost anything like tagging "fluttermac" "Dislestia" "rarijack" "sweetiemash" and all of them, i dont dislike it, it just funny, those who made the names have real creativity, why i mention this names in this tread? well, because if someone reads it and are aganist shipping names or names of ponies in a transformation such as Twilicorn and Flutterbat, that please think about it, that doesnt affect anypony, is a name, that what it is a funny and creative name.
 
finally the clop, i do admit before all my compatriots bronies, that i WAS one of them, i drawed and i animate a few and now that i confessed that i didnt feel any kind of sexual excitment i just drawed anthros cuz i believe that those are good to draw, i never drawed porn just naked images, is more artistical, but am not anymore, i renounce to all clop reference and i see things clearly. Clop is pathetic, you must feel really sad and needed for sex to see cute ponies sexy, i've seen the games of Double Fun and Banned from Equestria and i imagine those who play it and create them and i ask to them: if ou have a dauther who loves MLP and see you in your computer, what you think it will be her reaction? you think is nice to feel excited for a non existent equine being which their only reason of their excistense was to entertain little girls and people who needs color and harmony in their lifes? i can understand those who loves hentai (and i mean GOOD hentai not the disgusting crap of their variants, if you are smart you know what am talking about) even i can be a bit more tolerant with anthro, but PONIES!? little ponies? please think about this for a minute but close your eyes and think about the clopper's mind, to find a flash ilustration of Twilight or Fluttershy, a sketch, a bunch of lines, a colored cartoon character, or taking this real, imagine one of those real ponies you see in a farm, purple colored, with a horn and winds, purple eyes or yellow with pink mane and butterflies on the flank, can you see is really pathetic to imagine those persons feeling sexual arousal for those animals? ill leave it up to you.
 
 
post-18984-0-43211000-1399339235.gif Finally i wanna end this post with this: i love MLP, i consider it a philosophy, a place with good lesson but i dont take this too far, if you read the whole post and agree or disagree with my words am open to have a educated conversation with you, if you feel identified with the kinds of persons i mention above is your problem, my intention is not to hurt anypony, am just replying the topic. and if you are gonna insult me or be angry with me, i tell you now that i wont accept any comment if a person didnt read the WHOLE thing or doesnt have bases on the argument, i think im clear enouth to specify that my intention is not hurt anypony's feelings, good day

I think that its more about the writers favoring the same things as Bronies. The writers and producers have all said in unison that they try not to (or flat out do not) cater to the adult fanbase. Occasionally a boarder will add something, or a V/A will ... but that is different than the writers or show-runners catering to the adult fandom. Some of the nods are just self indulgent.

Cupcakes/split personality/serial killer!Pinkie/Pinkamena is a big one, especially when some fans act like it's basically canon...I'm not into grimdark in general, though it's cool if that's your thing, but for me it just totally goes against the core of Pinkie's character and why I love her. The idea of her having mental problems can be interesting to explore, but there's just no way I'm gonna buy her being a cannibalistic serial killer with zero explanation.

 

The PONY.MOV videos - there's one or two amusing moments but mostly I just find them kinda gross and trying way too hard to be ~edgy.

 

Doctor Whooves is one of the few characters I have zero interest in, but that's not surprising since I'm not a Doctor Who fan :P

 

...Apparently there's less stuff I hate than I thought, which is nice :D

Thank you for writing that, and stating my thoughts on the subject for the most part . A brohoof simply isn't enough, so have this instead.  :maud:

 

On topic:

Already stated: Killer Pinkamena/ Cupcakes Pinkie ect.  :maud:

While im not sure how popular it is or isn't(tho i can't fucking look up Pinkamena art in-general without seeing blood or worse inadvertently), i will say, the concept itself is ridiculous.  :maud:

If you're into that thing, okie dokie lokie, i like creepyish things i admit(not blood & gore tho), but the concept of Pinkie=happy killer, is lunacy, and honestly, it seems to have taken ahold of Pinkamena's depiction within the fandom, especially in her general art. And its something that greatly bugs the hell out of me when it comes to this fandom.  :maud:

-Creepy Pie/Spooky Pie/Killer Pie/Cupcakes/etc. Let me just tell you right now... PINKIE PIE IS NOT INSANE NOR IS SHE A SERIAL KILLER. Also, of all the characters, why Pinkie? 

Want to know how much I hate this trope of the fandom? I made a parody of it:

Holy crap do I hate how much the image on the thumbnail is spammed.
