Ocarina of Time wasn't even the best game of 1998, let alone the best game of all time.

It is a pretty decent game though. But I agree.

[Krampus 197]

Here's a gaming one for you: Morrowind is not that great. It's completely overrated. To the people that are no doubt typing up a response defending their beloved game, save it. Pull your head out of your ass and take off the rose-tinted glasses.

 

The same goes to the people who are constantly praising Classic Fallout but bash on the newer titles. Seriously, they weren't God's gift to gaming, so quit acting like it is. It just makes you look stupid.

Morrowind is a good game. Nothing more. So I agree!

 

The classic Fallouts were good. The newer ones are far more enjoyable though.

Like i said, i don't get it, but have it your way.

 

(My apologies for the large wall of text, but I've wanted to get this off my chest for a while.)

 

I don't know how long you've been around the fandom, but it's gotten worse in a few ways. Most of all, there have been a number of people that have somehow gotten the idea in their head that because it's entertaining for older audiences, it is now a show for them and made for children anymore (as if being for children, girls in particular, automatically makes it crap, and anything that's good therefore cannot be for little girls). Not to mention the idea that they're the biggest audience for MLP and Hasbro's biggest cash cow (even though a good number of them don't buy any of the merchandise, and even fewer own the actual toys). And every time the show sends a shout-out to the fandom (which is not bad in and of itself), it only reinforces that notion.

 

Then there are all of the people who are overly obsessed with the show, ranting about continuity errors and storytelling, and anything else they don't like. Or when something in the show violates their precious headcanon. And sometimes, you just can't avoid it, no matter if you try. Were you there for all of the big hissy fits when Twilight became a princess? Or when Equestria Girls was revealed? 

 

Then there's the attitude they have towards earlier generations.  So what if G3 wasn't as good? Yeah, it was kinda dull, and the characters weren't really interesting or relatable. It was nothing more than cutesy fluff, do you really have to go out of your way to take a shit on it? (Besides, the toy line was better in many ways.)  They want to pretend that MLP didn't exist prior to 2010.

 

Then there's all of the creepiness. All of the waifus, and talking about what pony they'd date, which one is most attractive, etc. Not to metion all of the porn.  Does it exist for any animated character? Duh. But compare how long it takes to find an image not appropriate for kids (with SafeSearch off) of someone like a Disney Princess, and with any MLP character. There's quite a difference. I wouldn't want to be called part of the reason you can't search for any image of a children's cartoon character without having to use a filter to get rid of all of the porn.

 

Despite all of that, I'm still here because I like MLP, and there are a lot of people here who have the same interests as me, and there are a few here that I've taken a liking to, despite not being here for very long.  I've frequented a stream for bronies for years now, and I like most of the people there, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Hell, I drive 90 miles away from my house just to go to meetups, because they're a fun bunch to be around.  And I even think other MLP collectors tend to give bronies a little too much crap for things that aren't their fault.

 

There's enough of the fandom for me to like it and keep me here, but also enough of an ugly side that keeps me from wanting to taking on a label I never wanted in the first place. I've always been more of a collector anyway.

First of all, i am in this fandom since September 2011.

 

You know, i kind of agree with people being overly critical about the show and the fact that the bronies think that they're something better. But i wouldn't judge cloppers or Waifu hunters, because they're just as much a part of the fandom as we are.

 

What you just said is not a problem that this fandom faces. It's something that all fandom face. But you know what? It dosen't bother me.

 

Back when i started, these kind of people also existed. Maybe not as big as today, but that's because we where smaller back then. Today we're bigger then ever.

 

I was never afraid to use the Brony label, because till this day, i have yet to experience anything negative happening to me in my private life because of it. I wear pony shirts constantly, i have pony plushies in my room and some posters.

 

I don't care if Bronies clop, have fantasies about waifus, follow some kind of code of honor, etc. because i don't care what the people in this fandom are doing and i don't judge them either. I met several cloppers and some of them are some of the nicest people i met in the fandom.

• Modern pop and rock musicians have no talent whatsoever.

• Band is life. It's the only reason I go to school everyday.

• Today's movies are horrible. What ever happened to glory days of Hollywood?

• Roleplaying on these forums sound stupid. I should probably try it sometime.

• The US is the greatest country ever. (that's right... I said it)

• There's too many damn liberals everywhere.

• I don't think bronies are as friendly as they say they are. Some I meet are complete assholes.

Sorry for assuming you were new. I looked at the join date and went from that. I started watching around December 2011, lurked around through most of 2012 and started getting more involved around mid-Season 3, so yeah, you've got me beat. It's just that a lot of people who have been around for that long have either left or lost most of their initial enthusiasm.

 

I know a few people IRL who clop, one even draws it, and I've got no problem that they do (God knows I can't judge), and they're pretty cool people to be around. They don't bring it up, and I don't mention it, and I forget they are even in to that kind of thing.  But I will be honest: I don't like it, and I don't like seeing it, and I'd rather just avoid it altogether and keep it out of mind.

 

I'll admit that I've got a lower tolerance for this than others.  There's only so much crap I can take.

 

But, sorry to unload that on you. When I started writing that, I got through reading one of the most idiotic posts I've ever seen here, so I wasn't in the best of moods. The last thing I want to do is ruin something for someone else, because that gets on my nerves.

 

But beyond the things I don't like, there's still enough of a disconnect between myself and the bulk of bronies that I only would call myself one because I was going to be whether I wanted to or not.

Hey, it's cool. We all have our bad days from time to time, so you don't need to be sorry.

 

I can understand if you don't like to listen to clop stuff, because it's not everyones cup of tea. Heck, i don't like MLP Gorefics, because i can't stand the picture, that these characters actually bleed to death, eventhough i have nothing against blood, or guys who do Gorefics.

 

Just try to stay in the right places as good as you can. All those cynics who speak bad of the show, let them talk. Aslong as you and i still enjoy the show, it's all that matters. Try to not let these things get beat over your head and you'll be good.

All types of pop?

Because from what I've observed, many British pop stars like Chris Martin are insanely talented when it comes to singing.

No, I didn't mean all pop and rock. It's just a general trend I've seen with modern music.

 

As for Chris Martin, I wouldn't give him too much credit as a singer. Like I said, most modern musicians don't even know what intonation is, and I think Martin fits that category.

 

But hey, I'll give him credit for his composition skills and originality. Coldplay has a lot of talent when it comes to that.

Republicans and Democrats can be both just as annoying. This is coming from someone that has liberal beliefs.

[Antidaeophobia 299]

I hate the 11th Doctor and River Song. I was so happy when they left the show and Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor, my mother literally found me dancing in my room when I heard the news. 

Nutella tastes like shit!

Firefly, even though I like it, is very overrated.

I fucking hate dolphins, and pandas! Seriously, just let pandas die out. They're complete worthless.

If the rain forest looked like a great big pair of tits, we'd take better care of it.

The new Star Trek movies made me cry, but only because JJ Abrams was pissing on my childhood.

*My 2 favorite games of all time are Morrowind and Fallout 2*

 

Morrowind... is pretty flawed. Like, really flawed. But, the goods outweigh the bads A LOT.

And Fallout 2... is there anything wrong with that game?

 

But... Fallout 3 is good, and Skyrim's OK... in it's own way.

 

Screw Oblivion.

I am very strongly against clop/excessive gore. I think that it's an insult to the original characters, because to me (this will sound weird) they're just as much real.

[Envy 6,144]

I'm an MLP fan, this is an MLP forum not a 'brony' forum. I should be welcomed here. You are contradicting love and tolerance. I just do not like having the 'brony' label. 

 

Don't feel too bad. I'm in the same boat! When I joined this forum back when it started this forum wasn't called a "Brony forum" just a "My Little Pony" forum. The term wasn't forced on anyone, and we "liked" posts not "brohoofed" them.

 

Liking My Little Pony does not make you a Brony. No one can force a fan title on anyone.

I'm pretty sure I've already said this, but a lot of the opinions in this thread aren't unpopular.

OT: Aside from the controversy surrounding it, American Sniper was a kinda mediocre movie, especially for Clint Eastwood. I expected a lot more from it and felt kinda let down.

I'm fine with Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble

 

I went to my brother's house to watch the Royal Rumble with a couple of his buddies. I rarely watch and I only occasionally follow wrestling, but I thought it was hilarious how negative the reaction was to Reigns winning the Rumble. You know you screwed up when you have the audience booing THE ROCK. Not even the most popular wrestler in history could save that ending. My problem with it was that they eliminated all the other possible winners so early that it became painfully obvious that Reigns would win near the end. Once it was Kane and Big Show left in the ring with him, it just became a slow race until Reigns inevitably won.
