How Do YOU Love And Tolerate?

[Feather Gem 967]

My Way:

 

I close my eyes, relax myself.  Then I imagine Princess Celestia coming towards me and touched her horn to me, watching as I am surrounded by a golden glow. 

I feel the glow around me, relaxing me.

Then Luna comes and helps Celestia.  The glow turns to a very light blue as the blue and yellow mix.

Soon, Twilight joins in and the color changes, and then Rarity.

And then the rest of the mane six come twirling around me, floating in the air, with their elements on, working their magic.  The color changes accordingly, blurring my vision slightly.

It sounds totally sappy and dumb, but it seems to work for me x3

 

My OTHER Way:

 

 

I'm going to print this out and shove it in every ponies face to let them know they should shut up.

 

 

And this isn't even for haters.  its mostly for people who make me PO'ed.

I say the same thing as your second way. Generally people just stare at me for a bit. But it works. (Plus I've met some bronies that way. )

 

I haven't gotten to use this one yet, but if anyone tries to bully me/I see them bullying someone I'll go up to them and say "Go home Babs. You're drunk.".

[Friendship_Cannon 1,676]

oh, wow, I wish I had your imagination, I do it in a... yeah, more easy way. I kinda think of how I behaved before I became a Brony and about the times others were just completely (censored) to me (and I was to them as well)... and then I just try to respect and accept them how they are/ how they act, because I remember how much the things others said in my past hurt me (and how bad I felt when I was being unfair towards others), and I don´t wanna hurt anyone. That someone acts harsh towards you doesn´t allow you to do the same in return, that leads to nothing... and it took me way too long to see this 

[PonyEcho 1,610]

I don't, because its a lie.

 

I prefer to speak to people on equal ground, no trying to act superior or better then them, if they have a negative opinion that's ok with me there aloud to speak it, just as i'm allowed to question there logic if unnecessary. 

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

Basicly, I am a kind of person who has to help people, this has just always been, even before I became a brony.  I really do tend to be kind to everyone, even the people who can be downright jerks in response.

 

MLP FIM reinforced this in me. When people want to ask me how I can watch a show about ponies and call me 'gay' and.. a plethora of inapropriate words.. I have heard them all, I just laugh.

 

I literally encourage people to make fun of me. I ask them to think real hard and find one viable insult that should actually pertain to watching a show about ponies.  They just give up when they see it doesnt bother me that they are judging me.

 

 

I love everyone in the world, even the bad people. or people who seem bad.

Everyone deserves another chance, and everyone deserves love.

[:WhiteLightning: 14]

On a normal occasion, people are typically lucky to get away with idiocy without a threat of me putting my boot someplace creative to have it surgically removed from them sometime later... I'm not a violent person, but I'm very verbal... and surly.

However

 

Since I started in on this whole Brony thing, I've found myself typically losing that old edge, and I still can't quite explain WHY... I still don't suffer fools gladly, but, a moment of reflection and I'm typically beyond it. It may not be sunshine and rainbows... but hey, Its coming along.

I don't. Yeah, that's right. Keep reading.

 

Tolerance is only universally warranted in a situation where one party has no control over whatever aspect should be tolerated. Race and sexual orientation, for example.

 

However, hate for MLP:FiM, especially regarding the people that watch it or the 'net culture surrounding it, is something one has complete control over. If they hate bronies, they choose to be ignorant for whatever reason. Those people and their behavior don't deserve to be tolerated.

 

So here's what I do when I meet a hater: I explain why they're wrong. I use examples from the show, the fandom, and comparisons to their own interests. If they're reasonable, the stop hating. If they're not, they continue the hate. The bottom line either way is that it's a choice on their part, a conscious decision that they make, and when they choose willful ignorance, they don't deserve "love and tolerance".

By not caring. My mom was actually showing me her Instagram last night and searched ponies for me. There was an MLP is Stupid group and she started laughing and said, "Well there's always gotta be haters." 

[Faceless 101]

I have Rainbow Dash holding me back:

 

"Love and Tolerate, Faceless."

 

"But it's sooo.... hard...."

 

And then Luna might have to help too... and Twlight...

[Steve 290]

im going to be that guy, i do not love and tolerate

 

i have a different way of using dealing with the haters

 

most of the time i usually just ignore it and move on, if the hater persists, i get into arguing with it, i usually just agree with most of the stereotypes the hater says and i use the insults against it just to piss it off

 

hater: bronies are cancer

 

me: yes, we are cancer, and were spreading like wildfire, you will either be infected or you will die, choose one. you cannot stop us, mlp will be watched and praised, were breaking the norms, masculinity is irrelevant we dont care what the world thinks, you like us? cool, youre one of us?  great, you hate us? good, be butthurt, be mad, rage

[Shanks 10,816]

It depends I have a bit of a temper though not nearly as much as I used to though some people make me want to love and tolerate my fist in their face. As far as haters go I just laugh at them and move on I am not getting dragged into a flame war over ponies as the hater will probably enjoy it alot more than me anyway.

[Shift 4,272]

I just calmly say 'Dude, I disagree with your opinion and you aren't being nice. Back off. We have souls too." Or something along those lines. I usually break up arguments, but it's highly likely i'll go and start one when i'm grumpy.
