FoxyCryptid 4,330 January 29, 2014 Share January 29, 2014 (edited) You like ponies. Because of this, they threaten you. They are aggressive. Because of this, people decry them as sad, insecure, pathetic, stupid, assholes, or whatever other insults people are using in this thread. I spy a striking similarity here. Is "death to all bronies" excessive and ridiculous? Sure. Are any of you completely and totally innocent of ever putting some overblown hate out on the internet? I very much doubt it. Get off your high ponies, people. Many here are being just as hateful as the people they criticize for being hateful. Food for thought. There are lines, I'd argue that if someone steps out there and starts acting like an insufferable asshole for little to no reason(in this case, sending death threats to random people just because they like a cartoon) they deserve every bit of chewing and vocal ass-reaming we can give them. It's much the same way as you chew out a bratty child that won't stop breaking windows and picking pointless fights to break them of the bad habits. It may sound crass, but if someone acts like a child, sometimes the only option is to treat them like one.

The OP mentions a "death to bronies" image being circulated but that is a far cry from anyone actually threatening to murder people. So this is all pretty much hyperbolic nonsense one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcase 3 January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 I'm brand new to this fandom and really this is the first i've joined a thread over and when i told people all all I get is at worse is "well thats cool i guess" I have never had to deal with threats in person in my adult life chuck it up to what it is the internet.

So this is all pretty much hyperbolic nonsense one way or the other. Something has gone wrong, it didn't alert me of your reply XD. It's just as bad, same with furry haters. I saw one nutjob suggest he should be able to shoot people just like animals if he caught them wearing a fursuit in public. People are colossal idiots "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something.

I saw one nutjob suggest he should be able to shoot people just like animals if he caught them wearing a fursuit in public. People are colossal idiots No, it really isn't even remotely as bad. Some image on the internet is far less an issue than anyone actually delivering death threats. And even death threats aren't even that bad because with the exception of complete lunatics, nobody online has any real intention of killing anybody. Now, when people legitimately start firing off real death threats, we have a problem. And I would gladly shoot fursuiters out in public, provided it was a non-lethal gun and I was dressed as Elmer Fudd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to sound too condescending but have you ever received a genuine death threat Koelath? And I don't mean one like this I mean one that intentionally singles you out, I can't claim to have felt this way before but please show some consideration for those who have as it must be harrowing for them.

Cerbyrus 63 January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 Because people on the internet think they are superior to all, and take their hatred for bronies so far that they claim they want us dead. Funny thing - they would never actually kill us, they're just internet gangsters. Don't even reply/comment on their witty insults, they make no sense and only do it because of their disgusting need to annoy others. Which is mostly because they think their opinion is fact/are insecure, and to prevent being called "a faget" or somethimg stupid like that, they need to make fun of others who are "faggotty", in this case it's the bronies, because we watch a show for little girls. But honestly, anyone who claims all bronies should die shan't be spoken with - they're not worth your time, like I stated previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 13 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 Because most of them are jealous that we are a fan of some "supposed to be kid stuff", and they would be judged.

GrauWitz 1,010 February 1, 2014 Share February 1, 2014 I'll tell you why. Its because on the internet, you can be the toughest/rudest/meanest guy you want because its all anonymous. In real life, I bet you a million euros that they're just 8 year old hillbillies who have no respect for anyone, not even themselves. They just can't accept the opinions of others. In fact, here's how a conversation would go with these immature 8 year old haters Me: I like Star Trek Kid: NYYYAHAHHH, YOUR A NURD, I WATCH TEH HAANGOVVERR Me: I like ABBA Kid: FAGGET! LISTEN TO LIL WAYNE YOU PEESE OF SHITT Me: I like My Little Pony Kid: FUCK YUR MUTHER!!!!!! GO DIE IN HOLE U NI**UR FAGUT, KLERAJBFOINDRSBIJFHVFB!!!!!!!!!
