Cyber Bullying against bronies.

[POW 384]

Wow .-. That must have been one hell of a dream man. An old lady insulting you my god. X.x that would be very awkward and weird hehehe

[NocturnalRainbow 248]

Ive had tons of insults hurled my way via the internet but I really don't care. If it was in real life or it was someone I knew yeah I would care but these are people I've never met before nor ever will meet so I don't care what they say to me. I used to be one of those people who cares about what other people thinks of him a whole lot. I shudder to think what my past self would do in this situation. I think I got over that when I got some good friends and didn't feel as though I had to fit into the crowd anymore. Being different is awesome, and pointless little insults on a chat room or something aren't going to change what I do.

[YALL ARE FUCKING GAY 505]

i experienced this hatred and bullying  before 

 

best thing to do is just ignore it as much as possible for me this is quite easy as im the ' couldn't give two fucks ' type but for other it will hurt them. like you OP but just remember they are doing this to make them selves feel more superior when in reality they are not and never will be 

 

they don't know what kind of person you are or what your capable of thus their insults carry no weight they only hurt as much as you make them hurt 

 

be strong bro and brony on

Keep calm and brony on. Sounds like it should be a meme if it isn't already because it signifies bravery and being proud of who you are.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

There are many mean ponies that will want to denounce others for how they act. It’s not nice but there are ways to overcome them. Ignoring it works if you don’t want to try and denounce the root of the problem which is enforced gender boundaries on foals, indoctrination against most ponies.

[POW 384]

Its almost like they find joy in doing it which I don't understand. Why can't we all just get along and be friends instead of throwing hurtful words? ;-;

[SasQ 1,376]

I planned to compare them to Windigoes, because they seem to feed on other people's negative emotions, but then I came to think that they're not as mighty creatures as Windigoes -- they are crappy little monsters with lotttts of issues with themselves, and they insult other people to bring them down to their own level, because this is the only way they can shine: by making others shine less than them. Don't believe what they say, because it's all horse sh*t. They throw their own poop upon people and wait for them to go down to their level throw the poop back, only to laugh of them for that.

The strategy of dealing with them is as old as the Internet: Don't feed the trolls. "Don't argue with an idiot: he will bring you down to his own level and then he will beat you with his expertise." So, as long as you can, avoid arguing with trolls. Don't let them involve you into their discussion, because it would be a torment, and it's totally pointless. But they will do absolutely no harm to you when you allow them to just talk to your back. It's not physical bullying AFAIR ;-)

But if their techniques work on you, and you are being hurt by their words, it's worth to understand why it is so. Why do you care so much what they say? Why does it hurt you if it's not even true? Or is it? It wouldn't hurt you if it weren't this little bit of truth in it. They can find this bit of truth and pump it up to make you believe it's whole truth.

 

There's a part of your psyche called "ego" which reacts to these words. It does so because then this "artificial self" (as I call it) can prove its own existence: one which doesn't hurt cannot exist, and since there's one which hurts, it has to exist, right? "I hurt, therefore I am", rephrasing Descartes. Does your ego use the same trick to trick you that it exists?

It's worth to think of it, and then you should perhaps be grateful to the haters that they helped you realize that part of your personality ;-J

Ok well ever since I've become a brony, I've been sorta bullieed on the internet by non-bronies who now hate me for no reason who used to be cool with me ._. I don't really understand it but sometimes its very hurtful and heartbreaking. I've been told to kill myself thousands of times now and i'm never going to do it of course but.... ya know it just hurts ;-;

 

I made a video about it even So you'll get to see part of my room and my face lol. Hope you enjoy my terrible vloggin.

 

Oh and just for all you disney fans here is something that will jog your memory and have something very nice to listen too 8D

 

You know what? if your friend cant accept you for who you are, then they arent friends after all, think about the mlp episode with Gilda, She was a bully and she ended up having no one liking her, thats what those bullies will feel like if you just dont care. Be like rainbow dash, dont care what people say about you.

[Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240]

I've also encountered my fair share of haters/trolls online. More often than not, they seem incredibly stupid and closed minded, with their reasoning being based solely on the age old argument that "its gay", or "you're a paedophile for liking a girls show".
Honestly, just reading what they've typed is enough to make me see that these people's opinions don't matter at all. 

[AdrianJames 26]

Ive never got hate online for liking My Little Pony but if I were to get hate about something I like, it really doesnt bother me. Im not ashamed of what I enjoy and like. If it was to be about how I look I think that would hit me harder, because Im very self concious about my body. The only thing that matters is that you are happy, so if you like watching a TV show or listening to a type of music or whatever and you enjoy it, then people shouldnt really matter.

[Radost 76]

UGH people really have nothing better to do then tease us, i have never had this problem but i could see this being a big issue. I was the last person people would have guessed to become a brony, my friends reaction's were priceless. I look at everything as one in the same, it really doesn't matter what you do their so much anger projected in no particular direction it just sprays and sprays through your internet waves but you got to take the good with the bad, its the best fanbase the world has ever seen. never in a million years would i think i would find so many people just like me. the best way to deal with it is to ignore it and it you are forced to face it just ask them if they have watched it. when they say no just tell them no matter what they say it is now invalid. all they can say at that point is its for little girls witch is funny because most the fans are young adult men.

or just pull a pinkie pie and laugh it off, kill them with tolerance and love!

Hello everypony if you are interested i created a group called Bronies against bullying and im looking for volunteers. if you would like to volunteer contact me on skype at vinyl.scratch62. please note i cant make video calls so plz send me a message  if you are interested

[FadedSkies 1,874]

Really proud of you for standing up and making this video. I have a message for you and others that has experienced bullying. Forget what those kids have to say cause theyre jealous of YOU, they dont have a family that loves them. You have a better life than those kids all they want to do is make other feel bad. You cant let the bully win, if they do they will continue and be the bigger person. Forget the haters because there are more people that love you!

 

Pinkie will make you smile!

 

 

[Saddle ~ Arabia 118]

I definitely suggest you ignore those trolls and move on. Bullies are people in your life that want to make you upset. If you do your best to avoid them they'll stop and realise that its not bothering you. If they continue doing it go and ask a close friend or one of your parents about this if you're feeling confident to speak up and I'm sure they'll deal with it somehow.

[Ihei 713]

It's alright. There's a way to deal with your bullying. Just convince them that they are too chicken to watch the show or just pretend you don't care about their insults. Ignore them. 

 

Well, I too was bullied for being a pegasister. But I started listening to this song and it made me feel better after I listened to it over and over.

 

 

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ixvsV-ahI0 

 

 

I'll explain the lyrics and it may make you feel better.

 

When you're rife with devestation - When you're sad that you're bullied.

 

There's a simple explanation - You're going to be OK, listen to me.

 

You're a toymaker's creation trapped inside a crystal ball - God put you on this world for a reason, and you don't want to waste it crying.

 

And whichever way he tilts it, know that we must be resillient, we won't let them break our spirits as we sing our silly song - We have to move on and forget about those petty insults.

 

(( That whole rap part )) - Even in drastic times, Pinkie still moved on because she knew there was still hope.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I'm been pretty lucky actually. I haven't gotten any crap for liking ponies online. In fact, I seem to find bronies almost every single place I go on the internet. It's pretty awesome actually. I hope you have better luck with those nasty cyber bullies.

[Zygen 6,066]

Its basically because if they hang out with you, others would see them as a brony like you, and it would ruin their status.

 

It sucks though.

 

luckily I don't even tell anyone really outside of here, so I never get bothered for it, but it sucks that society can be like this :/.

 

Good luck getting over it, and good for you for staying strong.

 

I'm here if you ever need to talk though. .

[POW 384]

omg i can't believe how many replies I got x_x and it isn't really cyber bullying, sicne i know how to deal with it on my own. I'm a professional troll and ignorer so if the bully keeps spitting trash at me I just keep talking like he isn't there and he eventually gives up. In real life is the kind of hard stuff but most people know not to mess with me despite how small I am (Its on my profile that picture of me x) )

[Techite Sparkle 354]

I see far to much cyber bulling alone from youtube. Saying that you hate something is one thing. Voicing it is another. "Hate" IS a strong word and can have more negative effects on a person instead of saying "dislike"

[Buttonmash1973 1,026]

I haven't been cyberbullied by being a Brony. But I got banned from other forums for years ago because I was a furry and loved movies like Balto.
