Would you give your life for the fandom?

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

To put it bluntly: uuuuugh.... no.

[Stardust Balance 7,739]

what's up with that, dude?

Self-loathing my friend, lots of self-lothing XD

[SunflowerPrincess 345]

Well, to put it easy, no. Just no.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I love MLP and the fandom but I've got better things to do than die for it. Life is precious and to forfeit it for a rather unimportant cause seems asinine to me.

[Justin_Case001 4,889]

You know what's wrong with the fandom these days?  Everyone is obssessed with death!

 

 

And no, I wouldn't give my life for the fandom.  Maybe for a person, but not for the fandom.  But sometimes I kind of wish I could sacrifice my life for some great ideal, like William Wallace or something.  Sometimes I imagine what would happen if I was killed just for being a brony, or just for wearing a dress, which I also do.  It would suck, sure, but if the positive backlash it would surely cause helped to change the world for the better, I think I might be okay with that.  In other words, if my being the victim of a hate crime actually resonated with people and prompted positive change, I think I'd be willing to give my life for that.  I'm miserable anyway, so if my life could do that for people, then why not?  But don't get me wrong--I don't want to willingly sacrifice my life just for the fandom.  I ain't some kinda psycho.

Nope.The Fandom and the show for me is a pastime,Not really dedicated to it,Neither do i dislike it either.

[Shanks 10,816]

This is supposed to be a show, a mere hobby, not some twisted cult even if some may treat it that way.

Through your sacrifices (And trust me im willing to sacrifice a lot of you) in the name of the goddess Foust, this fandom shall prosper forever!!!

Fuck no XD

I'd rather sacrifice my life to eat the worlds best steak. Like sacrifice after i eat it.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

grim topics are best topics.... the Forums topics have been too cheerful lately

 

the fandom saved me from a self destructive life 3 years ago.... it would only seem right to end what it tried to save, if its for the better good of the fandom

 

 

hmm... it appears the fandom means more to me than all of you combined...

[Red Cedar 1,408]

Absolutely not. I don't want to be forever after known as the Brony Martyr, not for a show that will, sad to say, ultimately come to an end and have a waning base of active fans.

[Suukorak 354]

Well, the question is vague.

Are we to die trying to protect people?

Or just the abstract idea?

I'd be willing to lay down my life for people (though who knows if I'd have the courage to do it). But for the idea? It can't really die, because it'll live on in me at least. So that's a moot point.

[A Black Circle 1,586]

Hard to say. If the entire fandom was Hugglemeister, YES.

If the entire fandom was Byter, meh.

[Hopes and Memes 391]

I feel out of place here, ponies have become my life, if I didn't have ponies... I would've suicided by now. But... Ponies. and  the community.

Yes, I would give my life for the fandom.

[alpinefroggy 451]

No not at all. It's probably a little more than a hobby at times but it's still just an interest and will never be worth more than my life

Edited April 13, 2015 by alpinefroggy

[Adorkable 2,737]

No, God no. This isn't a lifestyle for me, it's just a hobby - something I like to do on the sideline when I'm not doing anything else.

 

Haha yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm not saying I don't care about the fandom, I love it to death. But it's not something I would give my life for.

[FlutterHigh 81]

I would not give my life but i would turn the show into my religion for the rest of my life

[Carolina 212]

This kind of reminds me of discussions we have had in my Buddhist group. Some people would be willing to die for their faith, but I don't think I personally would. As for dying for a TV show? Hell to the no way. That'd be pretty extreme.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,473]

As much as I don't see my own life as worth much (inferiority complex n' stuff), I definitely would not do this. This fandom overall has changed my life in ways, and I am grateful for that, like, a lot, but if I ever even considered 'giving' my life for it, that would be treating it more like a cult than a fandom and that would not be good.

[Solid 1,327]

I honestly don't know, this is a pretty hard choice to make. I would probably just go with instinct when situation calls.

 I can live for a cause, but i won't die for one.

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

I wouldn't give my life for the survival of the fandom ... because a fandom is born of thought, and thought cannot die!

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Nope. There are other things in my life that are more important than this fandom.

[Psycrow 104]

no
theres more important things in life than just some major fandom.
like working on stuff!

[skysweep 541]

Well....my concept if rather different. 

 

For me I would give my life, as I feel that the fandom as a community has given me a second chance. A new life which is better and more cheerful. So I feel that it is not mine to keep. If I have to give it up to save others, or to maintain this ideal, then that is fine. So that it can continue to be the gift that keeps giving to others. And saving their lives in turn.
