Dealing With Intolerance

As MANY of us know, there can be alot of hate in the world, mean nasty stupid hate...

And as members of a group sometimes looked down upon as "Immature" or in my case (Since im male) "Gay" , we are bound to have to put up with intolerance ourselves.

 

Now it's not always as simple as ignoring the haters. Sometimes we should speak up to defend the show and ideals we love.

 

I myself told this to a hater once...

 

"Im a Brony, Deal with it. Im not childish or immature, im not gay and im certainly not a little girl. I love the show because it has great animation,characters and ideals. If thats not enough of an answer for you, then I hope you have a happy life"

 

(Keep in mind im not a homophobe, the guy had called me gay so I addressed it lol)

 

Dealing with haters can be hard sometimes, I have known many friends to break down from being teased, and it disgusts me to see people do that to us.

 

But all WE need to know...

Is that we should just NOT CARE about what they say

 

We need to realise that our fandom is massive, its friendly and we come together under ideals that are usually taken on by charities and religious organisations.

 

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong about being a Brony, infact, we should be proud of it, i know I am.

 

 

So remember, keep your head up, no matter what some people may say, all you have to do is turn to them and say...

 

"Thank you for your opinion"

 

And walk away...

 

 

 

Now if you would like to share any stories about haters and how you dealt with it, Im sure others would love to hear about it

Perhaps even learning ways to deal with these people

I see threads that are similar to this one here. Its good and all that others post these just in case newer bronies miss some old ones, but all in all, people that already know how to put up with haters might get slightly annoyed by repeating threads.
Now, im not trying to rant or anything, but yes it just seems like to me they're is just 1 too many threads talking about this. I really would like at least one of them to be stickied somewhere to where anyone having any troubles could go to that one thread and discuss everything there.
But besides all that, I would probably sticky this one up because it actually seems a tad better then most other ones. The way Dawn (you) explaines this is quite enjoyable to read indeed, and it could easily let others understand what they should do in order to tolerate haters.
