WIRED Presents: In Defence of Bronies

[FinalGamer 192]

So I found this pretty awesome article that defends the bronies and briefly examines us as a sub-culture.

 

I thought you guys would like to read it and discuss it in turn. I mean I have to admit, I always did wonder HOW we became such a sub-culture in such a quick amount of time. I have my own theories, but this article is more about why people shouldn't distrust or despise us.

 

Thanks Wired :3 brohoof 'em back wontcha?

freaking brony storm trooper awesome

And that’s just the start. The world (especially here on the internet) is full of women who love fantasy, science fiction, and comic books, which are predominantly created and marketed to young men. Are we creeps for enjoying Star Wars? X-Men? Bleach? What’s with the double-standard?

It's okay for girls to wear boys' accessories

But it's damn creepy for us to wear a tutu

This, I also don't give two fucks what someone else thinks of me based on a TV show I watch. If someone thinks less of me because I watch this show, then I've already shrugged them off as an ignorant moron and therefore don't care what they think, because after all it's just a TV show, and judging someone based on the fact that they watch it instantly tells me you're an idiot.

I think less of people who watch Jersey Shore and immediatley dismiss them as pretentious bucks, does that make me an ignorant moron?

I think it's unfair to judge someone based on the fact that they watch a certain tv show unless it's some sort of pro hate show. I meant that hating people for watching a show based only on the fact that it's for children is silly.

I'm glad to see someone finally wrote an article about us that isn't full of bullshit.

Great job, you earned the achievement for not realizing a joke made in poor taste. Congrats. Although, every person I've met that likes this show, I've hated, even before I knew they watched it.

 

EDIT: Well, lookey there, I got a 'hoof. Someone must agree with me, Peg.

You misspelled "defense" in the title. D:

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

There's a thread in the Pony Bulletin board, too. Our mailmare must've found it very important.

 

Anyway, yeah, one more argument against haters.

Then again, unfortunately, the haters who STILL haven't been convinced probably never will. Because if they were reasonable and listened to anyone besides themselves, they already would've changed their minds.

It's nice, but the whole defending bronies thing is getting a little old, don'tcha think?

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Defending bronies, get old?

 

Ignorant haters are still spreading their opinions and indoctrinating others. It's only fair that defenders try to beat some sense into their shallow heads.

 

EDIT: I keep misreading WIRED as WEIRD. rotflol

Glad to get publicity. While I don't outwardly advertise that I'm a brony to the world, I'm glad that somepony recognizes we're just a normal group of guys with an affinity for ponies.

When Shank says end thread, the thread ENDS.

 

But it's always nice to see people defend us pony brethren.
