That's not a bad idea and if you want to, why not, it can't hurt

 

Me personally am a complete closet brony, except when it comes to blasting The Living Tombstone in my car when I'm driving alone. The reason I am mostly is because my best friend has a complete hatred toward bronies and he is not the kind of guy to change any opinion he holds

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Well first there is the classic just ignore it. 

 

Then there's laughing along with the teasing.

 

Then there is calling out on what they're saying

 

That's all I've got.

I'm a closet brony as well , but mostly because where I live no one really understands what a brony is and they judge by the color and name (In my country, pink is still considered gay)

Then hes not a real friend. Real friends support you no matter who you are and what your interests are. If he/she cant respect that then fuck them. Im open to being a brony inpublic. So what? Im proud of it. Thats right, im proud being a brony because it saved my life and my appreciation is by wearing my shirts, my wallet, any merch. (Planning to get more this next month during Brony fest!)

 

Like i said, if your friend cant respect you for who you are. Get rid of them!

I like the idea of creating a youtube channel to help those that are bullied because they're bronies. Me personally, i ignore it. If they trash talk, i send facts into their mouths to make them shut up. But, where. I live, nobody is really judgemental. Everyone at my high school have respect for one another. Hell, i bet 25%[of 2000 people are bronies] or even a higher percentage are bronies. Mainly all my friends in my life are bronies which is awesome. But again, i like the idea. Fortunately, i cant help you. School, this years storm season coming up. Ill be out chasing. But, if you want. I can help with some ideas. Even though i said i cant really.

A bunch of us are doing a Skype group on friday night that's being recorded and thrown up on youtube.  I was thinking about talking about the subject of bronies and bullying in general for a short while.  Lemme know if you want to join in and throw your wisdom out into the world. 

[Koelath 445]

Depends, are you out to deliver wisdom or "wisdom"?

There's enough "wisdom" out there for anyone who needs it. Cliche and useless platitudes about how you should be yourself and you're a super-special-awesome-snowflake of a person and bullies shouldn't get to you. People have been recycling trite faux-inspirational drivel like that since the 90s, maybe the 80s. You can still see it in full force pretty much anywhere on Facebook. Often comes captioned on a picture that the person thinks looks deep or interesting.

Real friends support you no matter who you are and what your interests are.

So if I sexually assault a child in front of her grandmother, my friends should support me or else they're not real friends?

People really need to quit throwing around "no matter what" without considering what those words actually mean...Nobody, friend or otherwise, is obligated to support things that go against their views. Period. If his friends don't like the brony fandom, they don't have to support his being a part of it at all. A friend, at most, might be expected to tolerate it. But support is entirely optional.

I was picked on and teased alot when I was a child. I'd say around 7th or 8th grade, I started not to care and realized, they are just sad people who need to pick on others...then I got older and learned to laugh at myself...it tends to irritate people who want to bring you down. The biggest thing is, no matter who the hell tries to bring you down, there will be people who will bring you back up. I have a friend, I've known him for 22 years, and he's never had any issue with anything I've liked or done (at least, nothing that wasn't going to kill me lol). Nothing bad last forever, and there's people who will stick behind you.

When I got into the show, this was second semester of my senior year in high school. So, I had only a few months before I would leave.

 

I couldn't give any fucks whatsoever and become so open about it and ended up making a teacher friend of mine watch it with his son and wife, and they have watched every episode on Netflix.

[Everleaf 541]

Just start pretty basic with the channel then maybe get more ideas with the help i would be willing but i would need to get the stuff where you can talk from across the web if i do i'll tell you i'm a teen  pegasister around 14 but i am aiming to do much more for the fandom i would just simply reply with (haters gonna hate) and walk away...

[CharmingStallion 63]

Sounds like a good idea to me. I have the fortunate situation where I have a 4 year old daughter who is a big MLP FiM fan and a wife who likes it as well (does good Pinkie voices). But for others who aren't as fortunate anything that might help is a great idea!

[Scootalove 10,689]

That's not a bad idea, helping others is always a good thing to do and if you have enough support to make it happen then it can be possible.

[Golden Muse 15]

Just a general comment on this issue:

The first step if you're being bullied is to make sure you're not super-over-doing stuff, because you may be making others feel uncomfortable or super-annoyed to the point that it's immoral. Not saying everybody does this (in fact probably hardly anybody at all), but you may be, because for instance there was a time when I would tape pictures of ponies all over a study room in my dorm, and people were taking them all down and I thought they were just haters. But really I realized that I was sort of stealing away from the art that I was covering up with the pictures, and it was wrong because everybody else wanted the artwork to be a certain way in the room. Also don't get up in bullies' faces and be like "you got a problem with me!?" I've seen that end badly countless times.

You obviously didn't get my point across your mind.

 

What I mean is. In this life, there are people that are against you and with you. Obviously if you sexually assaulted someone they would be against you. Then that person made the right choice. Now what I also meant was, as a young person, we all have our interests and likes(TV Shows(such as MLP), Sports, activities.. etc) and if someone as your friend did not like on what you are doing then he/she isn't really a good friend to you because they don't have enough respect towards you. See my point? if they can't respect you for something simple as MLP, then well.. you know. They can die in Pinkamena's basement.

I am totally up for this and am up for contributing to your channel in any way I can. If you ever put it up I'd love to have a link.

 

Thing is, I don't what we could do that hasn't been done already. Platitudes are meaningless, we need solutions.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

I've never personally encountered bullying, especially of this sort but I support a channel dedicated to giving advice where needed in regards to it.

[BronyWisdom 4]

Thank You For All the positive comments the first video might air on youtube on spring break

Thank you for your support

Sounds awesome! Life is beautiful, and MLP has helped me to realize this!

[Shift 4,272]

I was bullied in 3rd grade (Not because of ponies, they didn't exist yet, or G4), so I know that feel.

[Koelath 445]

if someone as your friend did not like on what you are doing then he/she isn't really a good friend

Grammatical hiccups notwithstanding, this seems to say (paraphrase) "If a friend doesn't like what you're doing, then he's a lousy friend."

 

Frankly, I wouldn't call anyone expecting people to abandon their own opinions for his own sake a friend.

 

Also frankly, I wouldn't call anyone who deems people worthy of death in a basement just for hating on a TV show a sane human being who should be allowed outside of prison.

we need solutions.

Solution: Toughen kids up. They are bullied because they allow it. They allow it because they are pointlessly insecure.

 

I quit being bullied when I quit letting it happen. Whether that was by means of violent retaliation, terrorism, or simply realizing they don't matter and making them aware of it.

That is way too extreme, and doesn't really solve shit.

 

I've never had to resort to violence, and managed to avoid it 99% of the time by being calm, and using my brain. Not saying you have to be a push over, but you don't need to slit their throats either.

Who said anything about slitting throats? I'm talking about conditioning. Scare or hurt an aggressive beast (human or otherwise) enough, and it will cease to be aggressive.

 

And only the first option even mentioned violence. None mentioned turning off your brain so I don't know where you're even getting that from. Training any animal can be quite taxing on the mind.

The problem is, humans are vengeful by nature. Animals usually will back down, when stood up to. Humans on the other hand, tend to retort with the same or worse. It creates a cycle, that will end with someone dying, or even people who aren't involved. A violent reaction should only be taught as the absolute last resort.

No they aren't. People need to quit using the phrase "by nature" because it's just abused now. If I went and found a human raised from birth in nature, I doubt he'd give a damn about vengeance so much as the next meal to hunt or harvest. Vengefulness is learned, not natural.

 

Humans are animals. Aside from a higher rung on the evolutionary ladder, there is no great difference. What works on a dog will work on a person, it will just need adjustments.

 

And again, only one of those options involves violence. Yes, after cliched platitudes fail and if the other options don't stick, violence is the last resort. Personally, terrorism was usually the most effective tactic in my experience. Actual violence wasn't needed.
