Things You Dislike About the MLP Fandom

[Anilewe 2,178]

 - People, who think that being a brony makes them better and more special than others. No, it doesn't. 

 - People, who call AJ a background pony. Old, unfunny and really offensive for her fans joke. 

 - People, who write hateful topics about the show and try to convince others to dislike some characters (Rarity, for example). 

 - Stupid arguments about who is the best pony. Let others like what they want! 

 - Tendency to see things in a negative way. And immaturity.

[Evil Nightmares 552]

any and every brony that says that "Cloppers give Bronys a bad name" and then try to preach "Love and Tolerance". hypercritical scum. 

[Static Electricity 729]

I really hate it that people watch the show through rose tinted glasses, and jump on people who dislike some aspects of it.

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

I suppose what I hate about the fandom is the assumptions that I get, like "ooh men watch that too how *insert gender insult here*" or that with all fandoms comes those fans who are obessed and let it control their life.

 

For me its an inspieration in my artwork, I met new friends there and me and my nephew have loads to talk about. But it doesn't control or dominate my life.

I'm curious. What do you mean? Are you talking about people who only see problems with the show, or stuff like some Conversion Bureau stories that can be seem as misanthropic?

People, who see problems with the show and overanalyze it only to find things to dislike Also, people who hate in this cartoon things that make MLP... well, MLP. For example, when somebody hates one of the Mane 6 or girly atmosphere of the show.

Ok, I dislike/hate some things about the fandom, but a lot of it has already been said.

 

However, one thing I can't stand, I mean I don't see a lot of it, but when I do, it kind of upsets me. 

Character bias.

More so if an episode involves a character you don't like. ESPECIALLY a mane 6. If an episode involves a character you hate, for example, let's say Pinkie Pie, you automatically assume it's bad or hate it without watching it. 

I'll give a good example, because I like ALL the mane 6, Diamond Tiara is a terrible character imo. If an episode starred her, I would remain optimistic. And not turn it off immediately or call it garbage. Anyway, that's something I hate seeing.

Again it's not often, but when it DOES happen, it really gets on my nerves.

[MasterCombine 316]

Back when I was really crazy into the show I always got irritated by the overwhelming amount of same-sex shipping between the main cast.

 

I have absolutely no problem with same-sex relationships IRL, and I realize the main characters are all female, but I don't know. It just annoyed me. 

 

Also the overzealous/neckbeard bronies that give the fandom a bad image.

What i truly hate about this fandom is how they treat the rest of the bronies like shit and don't get me started on the stupid jokes about applejack 

[Derpaholic 1,155]

-The double standards and hypocritical attitude that most bronies have towards pony erotica and the waifu subculture.
-Harrowingly violent grimdark.
-The fact that people just INSIST on spamming ponies in places where they just don't belong. Stop that, please.
-People who try to religiousy "convert" other people into becoming fans of MLP.

Couldn't agree more my friend 

[Derpaholic 1,155]

Also, you know you're not the ONLY one with that one specific pony as a waifu, right?

 

You don't understand the concept of waifu. 

Edited August 16, 2014 by Derp My Life

[Derpaholic 1,155]

No. I do understand it.

Don't tell me I don't understand something just because what I said doesn't sound good to you

 

It's an English term (from Asian culture) primarily used by men to refer to their "wife".

"Waifus" are predominately video game characters, anime characters, manga characters, etc.

 

I know what the term means, and I understand the concept.

All I was saying, is that if, let's say AppleJack, was real.

When her fans who see her as their "waifu" rush to her to actually try and get with her, they should know that they won't be the only one there. There would be blood shed.

It bothers me when they get so incredibly defensive over them.

No. You don't understand the waifu concept.

These two posts are a testament to that. You don't understand how it works.

[Derpaholic 1,155]

Tell me what about my most recent post did I say that was wrong.

It's not what you said wrong, it's what you don't get and left out because of it.

Edited August 16, 2014 by Derp My Life

[Derpaholic 1,155]

Then tell me what I left out.

Everyone's waifu is different.

Your assertion of "you know that you're not the only one with that specific pony as a waifu, right?" proves your ignorance of the subject.

My waifu is safe within the confines of my mind. She's not the Derpy from the show, and other people are not interested in her. 

[Derpaholic 1,155]

If, let's say Rarity, was real. 

 

She's not real. That's the entire point here.

Continuing this debate is a futile exercise.

. Cloppers

. Bronies who talk about Ponies CONSTANTLY

. Bronies who are too harsh in brony/antibrony fights.

. Bronies who dislike ANYONE who doesn't like MLP

[Pastel 7,630]

This is one of the best fandoms I've ever been in. So far there's nothing I dislike about it...

EDIT: Maybe the shippers since I don't like ships at all.

i don't like those bronies that simply just throw pony stuff to a non pony related thing and also those who over reacts to someone when people say they hate their fav pony , hate the show and etc . i'm fine with the cloppers but please keep your pony p*rn in a safe and secured place , you'll never know maybe a kid might saw it.

[BasementSporkle 20,358]

I don't like it when people get all upset about cloppers or people who like Grimdark or things like that. I'm not talking about the people who don't enjoy those things, or get annoyed when that kind of thing is posted in places it shouldn't be, I can understand that.

 

 But when they go all: "Real bronies don't do that kind of thing! They enjoy the show for what it is! They give us a bad name and are all probably trolls!" it get's on my nerves. I love this show because of what it is. I love the characters, and the world, and the fun, cheerful atmosphere it has. But I also enjoy a lot of the more adult parts of the fandom. Why can't I like both? Why do you assume I'm only in it for one or the other? And why do you care so much what people outside of the fandom might think about certain things I and others might like?

 

 Just enjoy the parts of the show and the fandom that appeal to you, and let me enjoy the things that appeal to me. We both like this show, but we don't have to like the same parts of the fandom.

Damn BP. Never seen this side of you. You sound pissed.

 

The things I don't like about this fandom is the bronies that give us a bad name. I'm talking about the ones that post fucking ponies in every Celestia damn site on the internet. The ones that never shut the hell up about it. I also hate anti-cloppers. The people that saw 'Love & Tolerate guys" then turn around and say "Ew your a clopper. I hate you now." I'm not a clopper but that makes me mad. I dislike bronies that act like they are 2nd class citizens. Like there are signs that say Non-Bronies only on fountains and everything else. Act like we are segregated from anyone who's not a brony. I love this fandom but there are a few parts I don't like about it.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

I think that when it comes to our lovely fandom there is not enough ponifying of my favorite things and I demand more pictures of ponies dressed up as superheroes and video game characters this instant.

[CriticalStylus 65]

-Anti-Cloppers: I don't even clop, yet these guys piss me off. I'm sorry that the world isn't "PG" enough for you!

 

-People who worship the show: Y'know, just because a show "saved your life", doesn't mean you should waste the rest of it!

 

-Anti-Anti-Bronies: The people who really give us a bad name. Just accept that there are people who don't like the show! Move on!

 

-People who claim to "Love and Tolerate": Hypocrites. You can't claim to be a good person and be "Holier than thou"-condescending at the same time!

-People who worship Lauren Faust for no good reason.

 

-People who make MLP parodies without any sense of creativity. I would like it if they fused aspects of two different series, but they usually just seem to cut and paste names or ideas.

 

-People who use words like "everypony" offline, in non RP, non pony-related situations.

 

-People who think that posting ponies everywhere is funny, and not inappropriate or annoying.

 

-People who are going to be offended by this, and thus, think they're entitled to silence my opinion or whine.

 

Generally, I guess I'm frustrated that people want the fandom to be their own echo-chamber, where they don't have to grow up and deal with criticism.

[Delernil 952]

-People who use everypony/etc. JUST STAHP.

-Everyone who hates me. ahm bewtyful

-Alot of people seem to hate the whole clopping/grimdark side. WERENT YOU JUST THE ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW ANTI BRONIES KEEP HATING ON YOU FOR NO REASON?

-People who take offense if you say something bad about their favorite character.

-People who are ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with a single character. Ties in with the last one really.

-If you read this and got offended. lol i dnt leik u

Exactly.  You can.  And that's the point.  Lots of brohoofs for you.

 

What I don't like about the fandom is that there are so many people who don't like things about the fandom.  Because my entire opinion of the fandom can be summed up by this:
