Jemboi 127 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 I just wanted to give us bronies mad props for being so respectful and generally awesome. I'm a member of other online communities and so often they are filled with venom and bile. Seriously. I'm a big pop fan so the stan wars between fan bases of Lady Gaga, Britney, Madonna (etc) is maddening! I know it's the internet but that's no excuse to treat others like garbage. So, yeah, I just wanna give love to my fellow bronies for being able to express themselves without hurting others. It's so nice to have a peaceful place to hang out at and be myself. No drama. And yeah, I know that things aren't always perfect but compared to others, we're all freaking saints! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggler 345 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 That's exactly what I love about this community. Because we are always targets by trolls and haters we as a community grow closer to each other. I have seen a couple of people the last days who have said that the brony community has gotten worse, but as you said: Compared to others we are freaking saints Signature made by Midnightive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityWhale 771 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Bronies are like the humans, if you think about sci-fi films. We build a ton of connections, keep moving forward in peace and love, and try to build and build. Heck, we can even act civil on Youtube, which is nigh impossible.

mintfreshAD 55 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Yeah, totally, it's a great community as a whole. And super creative too. Come for the ponies; stay for the bronies. 2 If you're happy and you know it you're unusual. But that doesn't mean it's not worth trying~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,993 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 I dislike playing the devil's advocate, but we must not become so full of ourselves that we honestly begin trusting such statements of our conduct; such assumptions lead to snobbery and pretentiousness. We may be tolerant and truthful yes, but but we also must be on our guard for aspects of ourselves which threaten to change that negatively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor XFizzle 8,669 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Bronies aren't perfect and have seen their share of bad days as well, but overall I agree with the OP.

We may be tolerant and truthful yes, but but we also must be on our guard for aspects of ourselves which threaten to change that negatively. True, but on the other hand, if a community believes good things about itself, and that it has certain qualities, then it often works harder to exemplify and practise them.

Derpy Dash 233 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Overall I agree, but we can't speak for all bronies, some of us can be just as mean and disrespectful to haters as they are to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemboi 127 July 18, 2012 Author Share July 18, 2012 (edited) I dislike playing the devil's advocate, but we must not become so full of ourselves that we honestly begin trusting such statements of our conduct; such assumptions lead to snobbery and pretentiousness. We may be tolerant and truthful yes, but but we also must be on our guard for aspects of ourselves which threaten to change that negatively. I never said we are perfect. I actually pointed it out right in the original statement. However, bad days, warts and all... we are generally a very nice community. Go to any Lady Gaga fan site (or equivalent) and you'll see what I'm talking about. Our sole purpose here isn't to tear down others to make our idols appear superior. We aren't constantly negative. I indeed think we are rather awesome. Edited July 18, 2012 by Jemboi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoodhen 698 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Lol, I just came up with a joke: Are we all really so awesome, or is it just me? ... Well, I found it funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyflesh 35 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Bronies aren't perfect and have seen their share of bad days as well, but overall I agree with the OP. I agree with this, most still argue with the hater's and post hate against people hating on the community and portraying it wrongly. Apart from that, it much much more enjoyable being in this community then most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our sole purpose here isn't to tear down others to make our idols appear superior. We aren't constantly negative. I indeed think we are rather awesome. Then again, bronies don't have a direct "competitor" to get into feud territory with either. I mean, bronies don't tear down Legend of Korra fans and claim ponies are superior than Korra. These music fanbases pit their idols against each other because they're in the same industry doing the same thing. The only "competitor" bronies pit ponies against are non-pony fans.

Jemboi 127 July 18, 2012 Author Share July 18, 2012 (edited) ^ See, we're so awesome that we are too modest to accept a compliment. Edited July 18, 2012 by Jemboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
