That Colt 42 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 Often when I'm looking at YouTube videos that have nothing to do with ponys, sometimes there is a pony vs hater war in the comments, and one thing I've noticed is that these war are almost always started when someone utters the phrase "it's not as cool as rainbow dash!" thoughts?

Undyne 1,483 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 Odd, I have never seen anything like that start a flame war... Usually, when I see them, it's either because someone happens to have the name of a pony as their username, or someone happens to mention something about FiM in the comments, but never have I seen anything like that before...

TheFabulousPony 102 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 I don't see tha happening actually. I always see them started by the haters attacking them about user names or going onto MLP videos to start an attack about immaturity or questioning masculinity etc. "We are all in the gutter, but some of are looking at the stars" ~ Oscar Wilide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggler 345 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 (edited) I kinda can understand with the haters getting angry there. They are watching a video that has nothing to do with ponies, and then a brony comes in and write about ponies. That's like typing "Gay" in a video which has nothing to do with homosexuals (very far fetched there ). I think that bronies should stop writing such comments in those type of videos, they only upsets people. And if you say: "But it's nothing wrong writing about ponies." Maybe not, but as said, it seems to annoy people, so why do it then? Edited August 22, 2012 by Juggler 2 Signature made by Midnightive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥.:Yulaiyre:.♥ 290 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 Wait. There's a war? I thought we were already past that part in our community. But seriously. It's possibly just because immature youtubers like to target people. I don't really think it matters all that much however, youtube will be youtube. The comments section is frequently looked upon as the butt of the internet by me. The sooner people stop caring, the easier it would be. and that goes for both sides Though I think I would have more luck trying to make an undead tap-dancing troupe. wut wat?

SugarSprinkledFox 69 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this! It seems like when someone brings up something about ponies in a video that has nothing to with ponies, it pisses people off. Why? Because ponies are everywhere on the internet and sometimes it's just too much. I mean really let's take an example, you make a video about you and your friends goofing around. Someone goes in the comments and says something like "Is that a sonic reference" when it wasn't, wouldn't you be annoyed? I know I would. Same goes for ponies.

BlimpAtomic 16 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 I've never seen this. Strange. Too bad it's the truth. Whatever it is, it's not as cool as Rainbow Dash. Unless we're talking about Pinkie Pie. That's the one exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 Well on YouTube when I see these wars its almost all of the time started by a brony commenting "brohoof" and I don't know why it bugs non-bronies. It doesn't affect their lives in any way. It's just a bronies way of saying they like the video. I know on one video I posted "brohoof" because I liked the video and someone replied to me with "dickslap" I didn't bother responding as I tend to ignore haters and I didn't feel like sparking a war. My advice? Just ignore them in general or try not to get involved. They can think what they want but as long as we know that we are bronies and are proud of it!

Samurshy 708 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 (edited) Ever here of the saying "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"? Well essentially when you feed the trolls that are trying to start flame wars by actually caring about what they say and attacking them for it, you are taking an eye for an eye. Not to mention that internet Flame Wars are bucking idiotic, how many times have you seen something like "I will find you IRL and beat yo ass"? I have seen it a ton. How many times do they actually find someone in real life and beat their ass? None. Stupid meaningless fights.

FoxyCryptid 4,330 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 I've noticed alot of hypocrisy from the "haters" too. "FiM is just a stupid kids show! I'm going to go watch Spongebob!" 1 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XUNUSEDXXX 3,459 August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 You are right. The sad thing is, most of the arguments are started by bronies rubbing the show in others' faces. Seriously, when people do that, they are just asking for an argument and it's even more annoying when the brony gets butthurt about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor 9 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 I've never seen that happen, and i've also never seen bronies "rubbing the show in people's faces". the MOST i have ever seen was say, someone makes a pony vid with a song, sound clip, etc and when you search for the original video someone says something like "<pony vid> brought me here". ofcourse you see that ALL THE TIME with stuff that is non-pony, but only when its pony related does it get hate and starts a flame war. for example, Duck, that vid that was part of anthology 2 with the a duck singing a barber of seville song. when i found one of the original vids soemone had just posted "Duck?" that was it and the only reference. the responce to the effect "please keep you pony shit out of here, thank you". I'm just thinking, but you were the first and only one to mention pony here. Seriously, the haters are just losers who love to troll. all the proof you need is if you see a flame war, make a logical and rational response to something they say and watch it get completely ignored.

Glaceon 793 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 Typical internet. *Sigh* Youtube comments has to be one of the most immature places on the internet. If you take part there expect to get insulted and flamed. Personally I like to keep pony comments on pony videos, it's not good to post off topic pony related comments on non-pony videos.

SpikeyWikey07 58 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 I tend to never get involved with these 'flame' wars but if to be certain... Is that seriously what fans/bronies truly get aggravated over and claim that user to be a hater? Damn... I've only enjoyed the show because Lauren Faust is an amazing figure to Hollywood today and I always like Spike over all the characters, IMO. Word of advice... If anyone claims me as one just due to this post, LOL ? I have nothing against anyone's opinion on who they like from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, people are still fighting about this stupid shit. I've actually seen it go so far as this one guy commenting on brony AND furry videos saying that 'if we keep this up, they'll give in and kill themselves before we do it for them'. People are actually trying to commit genocide on bronies. It's really, really sad. But yeah, I really hope the trolls just grow up and forget about it.

Brook 663 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 Well, if it doesn't have anything to do with MLP, why even bring Rainbow Dash up? A hater vs. brony war is never justified, but that's probably the biggest thing to trigger it, bringing MLP up when it has nothing to do with the current matter. People need to keep their MLP whre it belongs, right here, where nobody's gonna give them shit 1 Ask me anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the thing that bugs me in this. That WE are expected to keep it to ourselves, but no one else is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry Blossom 864 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 Yesterday I was listening to Catgroove on Youtube and some argument started when some guys mentioned ponies being in a lot of Catgroove videos. Too bad there is no intervention between these pointless comments.

Driz 1,552 August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 (edited) Flamewars are always nonsense, and will start from anywhere, specially from such a delicated subject like MLP. But people definately shouldn't go around posting ponies everywhere not pony related... They're just calling out the haters. I mean, what else did they expect?
