what if being a brony became illegal

[FNGRpony 658]

Bronies are cool suggested "what if being a brony became illegal."

 

in the worst thing possible thread.

I wanted to roll with that,

I can't imagine it becoming illegal world wide, let pretend it became illegal in your town.

 

I don't think it would matter at all.  
I'm still pretty much in the closet about being a brony i have

Rainbow factory, gypsy bard, and i think 1-2 luna songs on one of my computers,

i don't think it would change me in the least.

 

I should of callborated more with "bronies are cool"

for the groud rules on this one.

 

Like would it be okay to still like mlp as long as you didn't go over board?

like posting on a forum would i be put on the fbi watch list?(LOL).

[Bronies are cool 30]

I read the name of this thread and was like, "that sounds like something I said a short while ago somewhere" lol

 

Yea, I think I would not like the government for taking away my freedom to enjoy something as innocent as this. I mean, seriously though. Why would they make this illegal? If anything, I think that if they decided to make this illegal, then I would want to protest why porn hasn't been made illegal. They would probably do one if two things. 1. Make porn illegal or

2. Unban mlp

[CornBreadGang 514]

I would get mad. I would probably hold a protest or so etching of the sort.

If being a brony was illegal, most of us would protest against it while others would get over it to just move on with their lives. It's not like the show is a very uncontrollable addiction.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I personally don't know why being a brony could possibly be illegal... I mean, it's just like being a fan of any show; I'm sure there are other shows that have fans outside the target demographic. Besides, Hasbro actually likes bronies, or at least the ones that buy their merchandise XD

Who cares? It's also illegal to pirate music and movies, but I do it anyway. It's illegal to smoke weed, and Snoop Dogg does it on TV. There's illegal, and then there's murder. Too many "criminals" and not enough cares.

[Judgement 445]

In society's eyes it should be illegal. I bet Hasbro will let us hide in their warehouses if we have enough money to buy MLP merchandise. Seriously though. If it became illegal, and they just started killing bronies left and right, then I would just simply hide the fact that I'm a brony (I am currently doing that right now). I mean, it would be like a world war 3. I'm not joking when I say this: If it did happen, I would pull an Anne Frank and hide up in someone's attic.

Just because something is "LAW" does it mean it is right? Think about it. The only reason why many different Drugs and Alcohols are "illegal" are because the government can't find a way to tax it.

If breathing becomes illegal are you just going to drop dead?! NO! (well, at least I hope no) You are going to just live your life until something happens.

 

Half of the written law is completely made up nonsense. Yeah there should be rules, but there's hundreds upon hundreds of laws. I don't think anybody carries around "the book of law" unless they are planning on becoming a lawyer. I don't think the governments expect citizens to carry around the laws either. I'm not going to let people control what I do. If it is illegal and it doesn't harm ANYONE AT ALL, then it isn't bad. Piracy is the fault of a company not being able to protect what is theirs. They shouldn't punish somebody for piracy and then say "You are stealing from them". Do they think that if I CAN'T have my pirated tunes/movies then my brain will become innocent and I will suddenly go buy it from a store? Baloney.

We'll given I'm slightly unstable when it comes to my rights, I would probably become completely unhinged and go full commando of the government.

[Dashtastic57 40]

Well that would just flat out suck lol.  I'm new but this stuff it pretty cool.  We're not hurting anyone.  From what I've seen some Bronies are actually helping people.  If they made this illegal I'm pretty sure my bjd hobby would be soon to follow lol.  But they allow those ICP Juggalos to do their thing so surely nice friendly caring people who hurt no one and enjoy their ponies in peace should be ok lol.  

[Deesinn 393]

I'd start running the underground pony society.  We're kinda like the mob, only we rob rainbows and cupcakes.  We'd rule the world governments from the underground, spreading happiness wherever we went. 

[FoxyCryptid 4,330]

I'd question why being in a fandom is now illegal but people can still buy cigs laced with a chemical that's classed on the same tier of drugs as pure-cocaine. 

 

I'd also ask why they outlawed one of the few fandoms that does anything useful to the real-world.

IF being a brony became illegal... I would fight to my dieing breath for you guys. But if I could teach the world how special we actually are....

[Bronies are cool 30]

Honestly though in all actuality, how much would you bet that there would be some sort of movement and major protest if something like this was made illegal. Like, if all fandoms were banned, I am positive that people would want to protest. I mean hey, why would you not want to be a part if something? So I would not think that people who would protest against this being illegal are crazy for it. I would just think that they want to have their freedom of expression

[DubWolf 17,263]

Maybe in less tolerant countries where things like being gay are punishable by the death penalty (Uganda), would they make it illegal.

 

If they did, that would be pretty ridiculous and the bronies would go underground.

 

This couldn't happen in the States since I would consider this to violate our freedom of erm, expression? Or something like that.

[Smarts 1,622]

I'd be a rebel. They can make being a brony illegal, but I sure won't care. Like I care what some corrupt, worthless politician thinks. 

[Techpony (Inactive) 75]

I'm from the U.S and if the government wanted us behind bars for being bronies, they would probably just use the tens of thousands of laws already on the books (possible exaggeration?) to do so while targeting us secretly.

[Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235]

Depends on what type of illegal... If all I'm getting is a citation for being a brony, then nothing would change for me.. I would pay the fine and carry on. If It was a felony then I would have to get rid of a lot of my memorabilia, because I want to work for the FBI and they don't employ felons. Also going to jail isn't my cup of tea so that's another factor that would lead me to 'stop being a brony'.

 

 

Realistically this is something that would never ever happen unless a complete collapse of the government happened.

[DiscordAnarchy 770]

I would first begin a network of bronies to smuggle pony merchandise across state lines. i would hide the swag inside barrels of apples and grapes and wine and whiskey.

 

I would set up speak easies that will play the new episodes every Saturday and you will need a passwors just to get in.

 

we will set up pony mafias to make sure ponies would gwt their fix and the cops get their cut to look the other way

 

of course they will employ the untouchables which will result in a bloody war or love and tolerance vs guns and police brutality but will will win out!!

[Magpie 623]

How would this be regulated, exactly? How do you tell? What's the punishment? There's a lot of open-endedness to this.

[DiscordAnarchy 770]

How would this be regulated, exactly? How do you tell? What's the punishment? There's a lot of open-endedness to this.

1. An Anti pony league will be established. they will tap all communications with pony,clop , wingboner and other key words. once they has a suspect they go in with their Anti Fun Guns to stun you.

 

2. punishment is sentanced to watching the worst generation of mlp and the sea ponies singing over and over and over until the very thought od ponies makes you suffer

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Well seeing how bronys make companies like hasbro millions each year, and not to mention the ad money from the weekly episodes on the hub, and how corporations either directly control, or lobby hard enough they control government, I don't care how bad the society in theory would want it banned, it isn't directly harmful, and it makes them millions, so the corporations would just pull a Monsanto and buy out any laws against their money base.  

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

I smoke weed.... Yeah I could really give a **** less about what the law says XD

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

If that ever happened to the point in which I could not choose what I want to enjoy. If they had that much control I'd move countries. Either way I'd flip my middle finger to em' and be on my merry way.

I like the way you think... eeyup

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

I'll go out full on V For Vendetta style on the government, blowing up the parliament house and that sorta crazy stuff... in the name of freedom

[Lightwing 12,970]

i have 2 ideas:

1ºthe revolution will start soon...

2ºi'll act like V of v of vendetta against the government,to recover our freedom
