So I got to thinking...

I started thinking about how the Brony community reminds me distinctly of the people of Harlem during the days of the Harlem Renaissance. We all care for one another and are there for one another, we are genuinely hated by outsiders, and we enjoy ourselves regardless of what people think or how we're treated. Then you've got all the music and writing as well. I don't mean to offend anyone if this post has done so, but this is an interesting thought...

I'd say only a small minority of people actually "hate" bronies. Most people don't know about bronies, and those who do are most likely largely indifferent for the most part. Put simply, actively hating something takes quite a bit of time and effort, and most people simply don't want to invest their time in hating anything, especially a harmless group like bronies. :lol: That'd be like hating on D & D players, or video gamers... :blink: oh wait, that did happen. Well, I still stick by what I said, but I will say this as well; if there is one definitive truth that I have learned in my 20 years on Earth that is as true for me as the Holy Bible itself, it's this... PEOPLE ARE STUPID!!!!! :angry: Plain and simple. B)

and there are a lot of people I don't really care for inside this community as well :P ~

 

Fair enough haha. I suppose that part is more directed at those who are hated and do have to deal with the hate.

 

Perhaps that was poorly phrased. Rather than "hated" I think it's more "frowned upon" in society. People just aren't accepting. :P

Interesting thought, not sure what to make of it though. I mean, I don't think we're genuinely hated, people just misunderstand, and the ones who take their misunderstanding too far are most likely the jealous ones, but hey, if they can get over it, I say they're free to join the herd if they want. ;)

Gotcha... still, that's mostly because most people think we watch this...

:mellow: Frankly, I'd frown upon that as well. But hey, drugs'll do that to ya; one minute, you're a perfectly rational being, one joint later, and you're watching "The Runaway Rainbow". *shudder* So remember kids, don't do drugs, or else you'll end up like Spike over here...

-_- Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor, misguided Spike, what ever shall we do with you?

Been awhile since I've laughed this hard xD

That picture of spike is hilarious. But yes, good point. It's thanks to Faust that we're not stuck with another MLP like that.

Like I said, people can misunderstand. They just need to understand that FiM =/= old MLP for the most part, that what we like is a new and reimagined incarnation of MLP, not crap like Twinkle Wish Adventure and stuff. :blink:

Certainly, which is why I'd be very excited if something like John de Lancie's proposed "Brony Documentary," actually became a reality! Should it happen, it could very well be the first major (and accurate) media coverage of the brony fandom as well as MLP: FiM, and might very well change a large number of peoples' opinions about bronies for the better! :)

Well they did meet their funding goal, so I'd say it's happening, it really should help. :D
