Kid kicked out for liking ponies.

[Kodiak 431]

Not me, but this 15 year old Texas brony got kicked out his house because his mother flipped when she saw ponies on his computer. Apparently, she thinks bronies in general are creeps and fillyfoolers. The news article's on Equestria Daily, but I'll link it here:

 

 

This is why I truly love this fandom. The amount of support that this guy gets from people he's never even met before is tear-jerking. I just want to say that I love you all; each and everypony.

[Milk Wave 454]

Now that, is just plain sad.

[ProjectRKA 2,840]

The fuck ? ._. Aren't somepony's parents supposed to be supporting you

in no matter what you do ? Well... Apparently not, i guess ._.

[Finesthour 7,284]

I stand corrected then.People are monsters.

[Swoop 2,276]

Bloody hell, that's rough.I left home when I turned 17, and I found that to be a pretty hard hitting experience, so I can only imagine what it must be like for a 15 year old to go through.Let's just hope that his parents settle down in the following days, and set their priorities straight.

[Kurtiss 203]

Wow, that's horrible. But yes, amazing fandom. <3

 

I wish that guy luck, and glad he's at a friend's place for now.

I read this earlier this morning, and frankly, I was amazed. This is why the human race is getting worse and worse. They hate each other for absolutely no rational reason. Hopefully, this fandom becomes a big percentage of the entire human population and the world undergoes a revolution, uniting it into one for the benefit of all like it should be.

[Finesthour 7,284]

FOR EQUESTRIA!!!!

[Linguz 136]

Maybe you should send something to him Finest. Since both of you live in Texas and whatnot.

[AppleShy Sparkle 311]

That's the most horrible thing i have ever heard in my entire life.

[Slendermane 474]

This fandom never ceases to amaze me. This is the internet at its best. A group of like minded individuals helping each other and supporting each other. The world needs a lot more love and tolerance.

[Tyger 213]

What kind of parents kick out their OWN child for liking something they think is for kids only and if they're grown up enough and still like that, they automatically assume they're a child molester. Doesn't make any sense at all.

 

Truly is a mad world...

[AppleShy Sparkle 311]

Honestly, his mother should be happy that he's watching MLP instead of playing games where you shoot people in their heads.

[Octavia2 83]

Wow... it's hard to believe some people are so messed up they kick their own kid out for watching a certain TV show. I feel for that kid.

 

The fandoms response to this is amazing, really. Most other people would have just ignored it or told him to grow up, but not Bronies!

[Captain Marvelous 544]

Wow, being part of the middle group this is just...wow.

 

really tells you about some people.

[Kodiak 431]

What really amazes me is that some ponies are actually trying to send him care packages of money and hygiene necessities. That's the kind of love you really only see in the Brony community.

and again this is why Bronies entertains me so much.

[Crazy Misty 653]

That's stupid, if somepony likes a show parents should be the last ones to critize them for it (let alone kick them out)

That's what makes the MLP community so unique. We take care of our friends.

Damn right, that is ^^

[Finesthour 7,284]

I am going to find out where in texas this guy is, and help him.

[Mint Petal 256]

Seriously? Wow, that's insane. There could be things A LOT worse that she can see besides ponies. This fandom makes me happy, truly shows the meaning of love and tolerance, even for people they've never met!

[Fghik 360]

This is what I mean... And I thought my life sucked... Humans truly are terrible creatures.

[Finesthour 7,284]

even though this happened to him, he is still blessed with a family who took him in.

[Slendermane 474]

I am always torn with stories like this. On one hand is the intolerance of his family, and them kicking him out. On the other is the help and concern of total strangers. Humans have both kindness and cruelty, light and dark.
