Apparently Chilli's posted an Original Character pony but has been forced to have the post removed because pony haters sent Chilli's twitter account negative messages.

I heard about this.

 

Glad the food company enjoys MLP as well as making a mascot of their own, but sending hate mail and bashing the design is stupid. 

 

Overall, ouch, and people generally disappoint me with their negligence......

[Jadefire 2,796]

You stay classy, human race.

 

But still, bronies these days just really don't comprehend how horrible our reputation really is.

[Shanks 10,811]

Way to give Chili's some free advertising haters and trolls, boy that sure showed them a thing or two. Complaining about everything sure is fun.

[Red Diamond 549]

This is why I hate people.

 

Just let Chilli's be friendly toward the brony community.

 

"OH D00D U LIK PONIES U SHULD KILL URSELF GO DI~!!!!!!!!11111!"

 

"Wow, you put a sexually attracted cartoon horse on one of your tweets! NEVER EATING AT CHILLI'S AGAIN!!11111! NAHHHH"

 

Once again, this is why I hate people.

I find it ridiculous how the haters have to hate on us and Chilli's in the first place and think they can remove anything they want, it's not like it's their choice who Chilli's advertises to and what they advertise with but in the end the haters lose because ponies get more attention and their time is wasted hating on things like a awesome cartoon and a awesome fandom.

Wouldn't Chili's have more reason to be worried about Hasbro's copyright lawyers than brony haters?  It would be one thing if somebrony who likes Chili's made a "Chili's" OC with their logo as the cutie mark, but for the restaurant itself to use an MLP-style pony for advertizing?  I'd expect that to get slapped down right quick.

 

Also: call me old-fashioned, but I still have a hard time taking "tweets" seriously.  As in, OMG!  There are some hostile tweets!  We have to be scared now!

The human race continues to spiral downward. Why am I not surprised?  I really want to live on a different planet. Earth is inhabited by idiots.

I dislike the Pony Creator, but what's the big deal? They make one post, and they get scowled for it? That's ridiculous. It's not like it's offensive like those obnoxious post some modern celebrities make on Twitter. Let the company have some fun. Even if you don't like the show, it's not like they're going to reference it again.

[Thunderchild 875]

Damn.

Who the hell has this kind of energy-to hate something so inoffensive as a cartoon pony?

I don't get it-all I know is it makes me tired.

[NavelColt 22,876]

Ugh, that's terrible. Chili's is a nice place. Internet-savy companies like Firefox, etc know to get custom art for their ponies, but unfortunately I'm sure Chili's is utterly unaware of internet culture's quirks, let alone the fandom's magnet for easy aggression.

[Jamesblorg39welsh 125]

I think it's a shame to bash it but Chili's making this is definetly a cool idea anyone wanna make a chik-fil-a pony I will worship them

[Scootalove 10,684]

That is pretty sad. They ridicule them for just posting one pony OC, that is pretty messed up. It's like we just want to hate each other for a lot of wrong reasons.

[Super Derpy 535]

Wow that sucks. I actually like that OC it looks pretty cool. But come on Anti-Bronies just leave Chili's alone, they are just trying to be nice people. We should also start having meetups at Chili's!

"you tweeted a picture of a sexualized cartoon horse with your logo tattooed on its ass cheek"

 

Wait, what? What's sexual about this? Weird people these days...

It's nice that they have an OC, though.
