Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 That's pretty messed up. But at least through this fandom we know we are not alone and can get support. Bronies are awesome and the amount of support they are willing to give to a person they may have never seen is pretty damn awesome. LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice.

I mean it's pretty stupid to assume something like that.This event has actually made me feel scared, I'm taking me and my pony episodes into secrecy .______.

Petey 34 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 Some people are ignorant. Personally while my parents don't like the show themselves, are completely fine with me enjoying it. They realize I'm gonna live my life however I want, there's bigger stuff to worry about for them than me watching MLP. Some people draw the short end of the stick, and I hope this kid's parents come to their senses and realize just how stupid kicking their child out like that was.

Broniesinarms 34 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 This doesn't do the texan image any good. I really feel sorry for the kid. n one should be kicked out of thier house for that. unless it was R34 I blame fox news for making us seem evil 1 V-the birth of my bronyhood-V http://www.funnyjunk...r/broniesinarms http://broniesinarms...rt.com/gallery/ will update it nearly everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy 5,563 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 That's the kind of love you really only see in the Brony community. ...No. People helping each other happens everyday in all walks of life in one way or another. It's just not the kind of thing that gets talked about. That said, I'm going to see what I can do for this person. 2 GET IN THE PIT On 8/23/2012 at 1:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Bloom 2,933 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 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. That would be awesome. The world, united by ponies. But seriously, I feel bad for this kid. Makes me thankful that my friends and family are so supportive and caring. Signature by @Nico.

You never know, maybe some good will come out of this event and people will start to realize there is nothing wrong with watching a cartoon. Absolutely right. If his parents would have seen how nice the MLP community is and how fun all Bronies have on the forums and videos, they should have a different opinion. 1 Better run, run, run, run, run.

It's just not the kind of thing that gets talked about. That said, I'm going to see what I can do for this person. You know, perhaps I misspoke. You're right; people outside the brony community do help each other in times of need. I'll correct myself by saying "You see this kind of love expressed more vocally in the Brony community." I only wish I could contribute more than just emotional support for this kid. 4 Storytellers of Equestria (Audiobook Group): http://ponysquare.com/Audiobooks My audiobook series: http://tinyurl.com/cp7mt2g ~ Semper Fidelis.

Slendermane 477 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 It would be nice if it were possible to show them (or her, I think it was his mother, but I'm not sure), but they sound pretty close minded. I doubt they would try to listen. Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Crispy 5,563 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 "You see this kind of love expressed more vocally in the Brony community." Better. Not to go off on you (or anypony else, for that matter), I just don't like when we put ourselves above everyone else, especially considering that's what places like this are supposed to be havens from (others putting themselves above us). /mini rant I only wish I could contribute more than just emotional support for this kid. True facts, but at least you care. The best you can do is the best you can do, after all.

Feather Spiral 1,892 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 (edited) The fuck ? ._. Aren't somepony's parents supposed to be supporting you in no matter what you do ? Well... Apparently not, i guess ._. I would once be stunned, or even in disbelief, at this sort of thing. But today, I am aware of parents doing much worse, thanks to the press.In a novel I've read recently, one of the characters who's been through tough times makes a bitter remark about that. "Parents don't have to love you for being their child, and you don't have to love them for being your parents." And considering news articles I've read, online or on paper... nothing impresses me anymore. Truly is a mad world... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4 Edited November 3, 2011 by Feather Spiral 1 I take writing commissions.

Discordian 6,015 November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 Isn't it like...illegal to do something like that? The kid could sue his own parents for something like that, couldn't he? They stripped a minor of his home because they don't like a show he watches, it's unreasonable and child services would have a fit at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be, but parents have done worse and gotten away with it. I hope there's more to his story, because if this is really how some parents are legally able to treat their kids, I'm going to lose a good deal of respect for our legal system.

That, and it's not always easy for children to sue their own parents. No matter how horrible and unreasonable, they're still "big" people kids look up to.Hence how parents have done worse and gotten away with it.We teach children to respect and obey adults, no wonder some of the latter can abuse it and go unreported.
