Trine 665 May 22, 2015 Share May 22, 2015 (edited) Like i was on a forum, and thought it would be nice to imagine if humans were ponies instead building civilizations and making technology as ponies ^^. Although then some said "Bronies are one step closer to pedophiles". And didn't like what was said in that sense, because i dont think of it like that. I usually think of Mane Six as adults btw. Fillies though are children. But in general the show is just cozy in general, it just makes me sad when some people say stuff and assume that about bronies Edited May 22, 2015 by Trine 3 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/sorcerous-maximus-r8096 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Glimmer 494 May 22, 2015 Share May 22, 2015 (edited) Despite being a Brony, I understand why our fandom has such a poor reputation. The sheer amount and variety of pornographic and other NSFW material churned out by my fellow Bronies and Pegasisters often disturbs me. Not to mention the fact that we've got some horribly rabid fans who'll lash out at anypony who doesn't accept their word as gospel - guys like Firebrand, for example.

Shanks 10,816 May 22, 2015 Share May 22, 2015 It is just a bunch of narrow minded morons judging what they don't understand, I just laugh at them and ignore them. Anyone that even casually watches the show knows that the mane 6 are generally implied to be adults, albeit young adults but still adults so this shows a profound ignorance about the show. What does piss me off though is how many bronies make excuses for these people with a lot of the white knights being extra defensive by trying to make a public show of "we are not like those other bronies you have heard of" like they are better than everyone else. 2 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in general the show is just cozy in general, it just makes me sad when some people say stuff and assume that about bronies Given that most of the people I've come across who hate bronies are either 12 years olds, those bro dudes who spend their days drinking and playing video games all day, 4chan users, its safe to say they are just flamers trying to be upsetting just for the purpose of causing grief. I will say though, some Bronies do drag down the fandoms reputation. Not Cloppers, cause thats perfectly normal. Analysts, and /mlp/ who, like said above, get on peoples cases for not accepting MLP as their religion and way of life (I know, lots of commas ). Most of what is said on the internet is just stereotypes about bronies. Its not true about the fandom, but there are a percentage who are pedophiles or who are super fanatics that border on psychotic with their MLP obsession. 1 R.I.P.

Empty Room 512 May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 If I don't think it's true, I'd have no reason to be ashamed.

Time to pull ourselves up by our horseshoes and ignore criticism by those who would easily tease or mock us. Why freak out each and every time this happens? 2 I have made brony music since 2011. I like all kinds of music and genres. I'm sure you'll like some of it.. Here's My YouTube..I have several albums on Bandcamp and Pony.FM.

Aleh 481 May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 Psh no. The main thing that annoys me is how damn easily offended our fandom is by it. You do realize if people didn't react to it like we do we'd have a lot less hate? The whole damn "WE AREN'T ACTUALLY PEDOPHILES THATS [thing the people taking the piss didn't know about] " is just encouraging things.No funny reaction, no trolling.

Honsou 399 May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 Not really. There's haters out there for everything. There's people in my city who hate me for my job.

Shanks 10,816 May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 (edited) Prftt.... hey reputation is important man. Issues etc Reputation is overrated and fleeting when it comes to this sort of thing, bronies aren't the only fandom that people love to hate. The same has and still is the case with furries. Comic book fans used to be viewed negatively and now it is viewed as a hip and cool thing to do with the rise of the increased rise of the "nerd" culture. At least half the movies coming out in theaters these days are comic book based now. The bottom line is idiots will be idiots, at least we don't have this agency that censors MLP episodes like comics had when they were under the Comic's Code Authority which the comic industry was forced to create through pressure from congress.

Shanks 10,816 May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 Nah. The word overrated is overrated Think for a second exactly what the obsession bronies have had, more than I ever seen in any other fandom has accomplished. It has created a rift in the community that does not need to be there are likely would never have been there if not for this obsession with what other people think. The rift I am referring to is between those enjoy the "dark" side of the fandom and those that seek to have this arbitrary standard of purity to distance themselves from which again comes from being obsessive over reputation "they make us look bad" being openly admitted by many. This ironically draws more attention to said "dark side" of the fandom which leads to suffering further instead of improving.

ponylaces 1,870 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 When anti-bronies say stuff like that, I don't even care because I KNOW they're wrong. Who else would know more about the fandom and the show than the people who watch it? And if they barely know about the show or the fandom, why should I listen to their opinion? They're just going to state false facts. 1 hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Flare 66 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 Some people sound downright rabid and full of hatred when talking about bronies. I kinda pity them to be honest - their lives must be pretty empty and hateful if they can use so much of their energy getting angry and raging about something they have never even tried to begin to comprehend, and which they probably couldn't if they tried.
