Is this truly acceptable conduct?

I mean come on. Okay sure you like a show for little girls but does that give you any right to shove down the public's throat?

I swear I'm seeing parallels to a gay pride parade but differing in something as pointless and inconsequential as a preference to entertainment!

It's not something to shout from the roof tops people!

Do you do anything besides complain about what you don't like about this fandom? This must be the third thread I've notice you make highlighting something you dislike about bronies... Maybe your next thread can be something positive? You're free to do as you like, of course, but I really do feel the need to make some comment about it.

 

Yes, I agree that it is bad for bronies to force ponies on people who aren't interested. I've introduced a number of my friends to ponies, and most of them aren't that into it. When that happens, I just shrug and move on, with my life and with my friendships. Although, I honestly don't make too much of it: I don't own a single FIM T-shirt or any plastic ponies.

 

Any fandom is going to have the gung-ho members who will not rest until everyone is a brony, but by and large, they're doing as much harm as good. If someone is honestly willing to give the show a chance, and then find it's not for them, I'm content.

I haven't watched the video, but I assume he was annoying people about MLP FIM? Yeah, that's wrong were not Nazis, no one should be forced to watch or have it thrown down their throat down or anything and any Brony that does this should be ashamed of themselves.

 

Most of all, forcing people to like something is militant which is bad, even if I had a vast unstoppable army of let's say the Reapers from Mass Effect under my control I still would not force Brony fandom (nor have do what the Reapers do in Mass Effect) on anyone.

 

Let's try differ are selves from other groups in the past that committed genocide (For example religious groups people often committed genocide on another religion, just because they were a different religion.) on other groups of people just because they didn't share their point of view.

Okay, I give the OP two things: One, this was annoying as hell to watch. Two, they suck at singing.

I actually agree with this. When I saw the video (a friend linked it, saying that this is why they don't like bronies), I just said "... They're just making themselves look like complete idiots. And making more work for the employees," and swore to myself I'd never do this.

 

So you're a fan of something. You want a rubber medal or a chest to pin it on?

you so silly. I'm the kinda guy who has the good speak for itself and the bad put into the spotlight and interrogated.

How many times has this video been tossed around already?

 

Yes, there are some very annoying people in the fandom, this has already been established numerous times in the past.

 

If you see fans acting hysterical/radial, then correct them, until then just enjoy yourself as a fan and stop bothering with the stupid things that people do.

 

Because if you did, you'd drive yourself clinically insane trying to deal with every stupid/unbelievable thing that's come out of this fandom.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Yeah... that was sort of annoying, but truly we all know that there are some extremely annoying bronies out there. I've not run into any (thank goodness), but about the video, these guys are definitely not the worst I've seen.

I was trying to go to a middle ground in behaviour. I didnt wanna go to extremes as to misrepresent or exaggerate the problem

[AegisReflector 886]

Complaining about bronies spreading their "faith" around the world is like complaining about Jehovah's Witnesses knocking at your door every 5 minutes.

 

Nothing can be done about it, so why not just ignore it.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

Hey I'm wearing the shirts and patches but I'm not running around screaming at everyone about how much I like the show. I'll wear the stuff and collect the merchandise but I'm not going to yell at my neighbors about it. (I have no neighbors.....I can yell to the forest creatures all I want!)

[Brave Hooves 113]

Old video is old, and this is one video I tried to eject from my memory. Such an annoying display, but the thing that burns me the most is the horrible singing. I've seen worse though I guess *shudder*

[Samurshy 708]

I have to admit, when I tell people publicly that I am a brony, I would rather not have people roll there eyes and go "Oh great, here comes the loud, bad singing wierdo who parades in random restaurants". It is a fandom not a sexual preference or racial identity, we don't need to have pride parades. It's not like people who watch adventure time get the sudden urge to parade around burger king singing the house hunting song at the top of their lungs and off key. So why should bronies do it? It just puts us in a bad light I think.

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Not to bring religion/politics into this buuuuuut this super active and vocal expression of bronyness can be comparable to how people publicly display their political alignment or their religious beliefs in order to either attack or incorporate others into their circle. I say everyone mind their own business and only bring it up if organic conversation arises. You can show your bronyness in a more subdued and innactive way and people will probably be more open to you for it instead of what these guys in the video did.

 

Like "don't speak unless spoken to"

Okay first let me get this off my chest..

 

Now then back on topic... They can do whatever the heck that they want to do. No it is not unacceptable conduct, however creepy it may be. Honestly when I see people like this that are not just "bronys". All one simply has to do is to ignore this behavior. It is as simple as that!

see... this is the problem as I see it. firstly let's compare these man-children as pushy kids? would you let a kid talk to you like that? would tolerate kids being annoying ass prats?

 

no. you'd give them a good talking to.

 

because if you don't tell them they're being idiotic. they won't realise. children grow to be deliquents because they bein to understand that society will let them do certain things because it's too much of a hassle to punish them.

 

I go to london regularly and the arcades there have a community. If some dumbass kids don't follow the respectful policy we all follow. they are gonna get told off and frankly made out a fool.

 

we all get to play our games. and twats never come back. because they know we can't be trolled or bullied.

@@ceresbane, When you put it that way I completely understand what you are saying there. There is no way in hell that others would be exceptant of their behavior... Soon enough those guys are going to run into the wrong people and learn the hard way. You know what else... most of the time it is best to learn the hard way too. That way you learn a lesson and it will (never) happen again *hopefully*

 

But I would just personally ignore them if they were not bothering me. Now if they started annoying me with their crap, then I would most def. say something.

I seriously lost it. So sad. These socially awkward people trying to be cool is just so sad to see. And then they lick each other's butthurt.

 

They just do not have a clue. Its nice that they're experimenting though. Even though some of us with common sense would know the time and place for a brony rally call.

 

They prove many social hypothesis at their own expense. Laughable tho... admittedly admirable... but dumb... brave... but dumb (proceed to further parody pippington bri'ishooves)

Hey, I happened to be in that situation myself when I was a teenager. I'm twenty-four now, and thankfully 99% of my social awkwardness has been cured. The only way to overcome it is with experience. That said, I'm sure these people learned their lesson. Wouldn't it be better to simply ignore this sort of thing? Having been socially inept at one point in my life, I know that it's bad enough for people to go through it. Do we really have to rub it in their faces, in addition to pointing out the negativities of our own group?

 

Honestly, what annoys me about this fandom more than anything else is its affinity for gossipping about its own members. Seriously, can't we all just get along? -_-

the simple answer is a flat out no.

 

the long answer, we can all gather in one place and call ourselves a community but all communities have their cliques, their close group of friends and even rivals and social enemies.

 

look hard enough and you'll find that all of humanity unite as humans but segregate themselves within humanity for no real reasoning besides it being our nature.

 

which is still kinda no... but we can pretend if it makes you feel better.

*insert devil advocate post in 3...2...1*

 

I found this video hilarious

 

Its not even like they were forcing the fandom down any one persons throat, it was just a few Bronies having a good time, whats so wrong with that? If someone complains, then it be comes an issue, but otherwise they were just chinchillin. There is nothing wrong with chinchillin.

 

I wear a Brony shirt in public. It literally says "Brony" on it. Am I too shoving my fandom down another one's throat by wearing this shirt? No. if someone approaches me and asks what my shirt means, am I shoving my fandom down that persons throat? No.

 

Nothing wrong with what happened here. Are there annoying people in this fandom. Yes. Are there annoying people in ANY fandom. YES.

 

I have just one thing to leave with you then it seems:

[Francis Splinter 9]

What can I say? It does not matter what your personal interest is - Dumbasses are everywhere, not just in the mlp fandom... Seriously the rabid-antibronis are sometimes more annoying than the rabid-bronies ones...
