What kind world did we make?

[Maxos 84]

I see the love, I see the hate, I see this world that we can make. We don't belong, but we're born in this world through haterade.

 

Have our imaginations made this flag of Bronydom what we dreamt it to be? Have we formed together as one or parted down lonely paths that we have chosen?

 

I am asking these questions as a riddle, but with direct wording. This can be read and its meaning can be different for anyone. Now, I feel this question needs to be answered. This slang term; Brony. By what ground do we stand? There is so many people out there who just love the show and then live on with their lives. But I as a Brony, want to hold this title as a refuge for those who need somebody. I will fight, I will rise and I will fall. But it will be there for those that have failed in whatever they are living for. I will be strong for loves sake.

 

This is the world I try to uphold in the Brony community both in and outside of the fandom.

 

Now I ask, what do you believe this world, this "Brony community" as we call it. Should be in your own eyes? Please comment so I my know how many other people feel about the lessons that MLP teaches and how effective they've impacted you're life.

So what your asking is what the fandom should be?  Well, IMO it should be a community strung together through 1 similarity and ultimately sewn together through differences.  We should be respective of people, and (dare I say it) tolerate one another.  The whole thing is strung together through differences, weather it be talents (art, writing, music) or it be personality types.  We've proven that those can come together in a community of people.  Though it's not perfect nothing is, it's the goal in my eyes of the fandom to be tolerant of other people.  I know many people dislike the phrase "love and tolerate" as it has become something we can hide behind, and people use it as an excuse to basically reply to others outside the fandom (I'm talking about how some bronies use it then say something even meaner then the person they are replying to).  I think the fandom should strive to follow the rules;

 

• Love and Tolerate
• Don't think of yourself as more important then anyone else

I think the brony community should represent love, tolerance, friendship, and being a kinder, more honest, loyal, generous person (sound familiar?). The themes of the show should be learned from and applied.

I think the brony community should be able to tolerate others, and be able to work together as one, but it will take a lot of dedication to change the world into the one we want it to be like.

The way we can do it is that we can have: HUSTLE, LOYALTY , and RESPECT.

The problem is a lot of bronies, don't even follow the love and tolerate rule. Which makes the whole phrase pointless, they feed the trolls. Pretty much by trolling back, which causes more hostility. Though if they would follow it the community, would be better as a whole. The trolls, would eventually go away perhaps. But it's not good to hide behind the phrase either, because it's not really being used in the right context. feel free to add guys, or correct me if I'm wrong other wise.

If we want to make a more compassionate and tolerant world, why limit it or any lessons to a community centered around a television show?

The term "Brony" is simply one who's in the MLP fandom. It just so happens that most of us are like minded, and gravitate towards what would be considered a more "polite" and "enjoyable" atmosphere.

I'm part of the fandom as a whole, yet distance myself from those who tear me/us down. And as long as I'm here, I'll make as good of an impression on others as I can until such time when it becomes illogical to continue. It's that simple.


My mom works in the public relations/marketing industry, and she told me a very sobering story once. (You'll have to bear with me, as my mom never felt comfortable giving me the full story.)

She was at a convention once, and was scheduled to listen to the guest speaker. The speaker in question was a lady who had worked in the television entertainment industry for years. Her speech was quick, simple, and to the point.

As part an organization (I wasn't given the name), this speaker's job was simply this: to inject as much questionable, offensive, and otherwise disagreeable content into TV shows in order to perform "social engineering" in an attempt to "desensitize" the public to such things and promote their own products/agendas.

I found that atrocious.


MLP is possibly the first TV show in years that has done the exact opposite. I still find other shows enjoyable, but that's all they are airing for: entertainment. MLP actually has some form of redeeming values, and for that I genuinely appreciate the show and those who have worked on it.

So if nothing else, MLP represents something beyond entertainment, and THAT is something I'll vouch for.

Well I just think that the brony community should be a group of people who watch MLP and like it, and we can accept others despite differences to become united under what we have in common, liking MLP. I think we should also be kinda people who don't ridicule or judge others for things. We should also be willing to help others.

 

That sounds like basically all of what I think bronies should be collectively. I don't necessarily think we should be forcing others to become bronies or anything though, if someone wants to be a brony thats fine. but I wouldn't force it upon everyone.

 

Just love and tolerate others, it has meaning even if its overused and sometimes misinterpreted. Its pretty valid most of the time.

 

As long as we stay this wonderful community of people who care for each other, and who are there for each other, despite our differences, and we continue to create the wonderful community full of helpful and great people of all races, beliefs and cultures who create some pretty amazing things aswell then I think we're doing pretty good.

For me the question stands by what we the humans have created teared down and showered upon, simply meaning that we have crushed our former goal to become i beg pardon to use this phrase 'the ultimate life form of earth' that aint true we have subsided from it and mainly i think MLP is referring to it when we believed in nature, not like now when we just thinks 'hmm we should build there' well most do also there is this thing called 'greed' that spread through our countries when we found the 'true' goal of our lives when it just blind folded us from it.

 

Also what MLP means for me is... ALOT firstly i had a pretty moody swinging character but thanks to MLP i am more happy it helped me with my anger control i dont feel it now they only thing it made scar on me is old memories and things i want (a brother for the most) but it aint letting me down MLP is more than anything its drama, comedy, educational and at most creative nothing has topped it in the past years for me.

We are... Bronies and loves of the MLP show, We need to love and tolerate the **** out of the community, haha. We lead by example, thats the kind of community we are. After all, the show is about freindship and specify 5 "mane" traits. ( sorry twily)
