Why do bronies hate cloppers?

[LongGoneGr 1,304]

I don't remember anyone saying it like that.

 

It's essentially what was said. Maybe not in those words, but being a clopper and telling us about it, you might as well be shoving it in our face.

Why do you care so much that someone tells you?

Why do you care so much that someone tells you?

 

Because I watch it because it's clean and i don't want one of my favorite pastimes ruined by what I consider immorality.

 

THAT'S WHY.

 

We can now just let bygons be bygons - I'll shut up and let you do what you do, if you stop telling us about it. This thread has served it's purpose.

Well, according to your religion everyone has sinned. And I don't think you have the concept fully developed into your brain, I hated cloppers the first time I heard of them, you have just learned about them an hour ago, right?

[ShadowRose2k 270]

Or you could just not come to a thread that talks about Clop.   Makes it real easy to not be  influenced but those that talk about it.

[Shanks 10,811]

My point is there are fans who like it clean, and those who like it dirty. The two groups can't get along because they are opposites.

There are a lot of people who decide that clopping is not their thing but they don't judge those that do, this black and white thinking about fans who like it "clean" and fans who like it "dirty" is complete and total BS. There are plenty of reasonable cloppers and non cloppers who enjoy the show and get along just fine because they recognize at the end of the day that they are all fans and should all respect one another.

 

And FYI, I am Christian. I bring my religious views into debates where I see one side is doing something wrong.

That is fine but sectarian religious arguments really hurt your case by making you sound like you are talking at people instead of to them which a lot of people resent.

 

 

And, if you look at another part of one of my previous posts, you'll see i clearly said i am not here to judge.

You clearly said "I don't like cloppers", and placed them all into this false two dimesional paradigm of fans who like it "clean" and ones who like things "dirty".

 

I think this conversation has run its course so I hope you someday realize that cloppers are the same as any other fans, peace.

Yes, all have fallen short of God and all have sinned. That said, Masturbation in ANY form is something I dislike and disagree with. What people do in private is none of my business - provided they don't tell me. I don't want to hear about things I dislike and that make me sick.

 

The concept is in my brain and it's gonna be stuck there for a while, but someone's gotta stand up for good ol' fashioned morality.

So you've NEVER masturbated in your life?

[lomk 20,663]

I don't hate them. I don't do it myself, but I don't hate cloppers. I used to. But I can see why they do it so I just learned to tolerate it. Got some friends on here who clop. I haven't got a problem with it. Still wouldn't do it myself lol

[LongGoneGr 1,304]

To say I haven't would be a lie - but God convicted my heart of it and made me feel guilty - haven't done it since - and in addition, at the time, i didn't even know what masturbation was - it was just something i did by accident one day.

I realize that we are all fans - but i still don't respect what they do with something that is in fact meant to be clean.

[Grumpy Enchantress 586]

You are avoiding the issue at hand by building a straw man. 

 

It's like if I were to go up to a christian and tell them that I beat off to fan made pictures of Jesus.

 

Do I masturbate to poorly drawn picture of him banging another cat?

LOL! Who's making straw man arguments again? Surely not the one comparing porn of cartoon characters to porn of religious figures or real cats, right?

I don't see the issue with cloppers personally. Celestia knows I love Octavia Philharmonica (not enough to clop to her; don't think that).

 

Being a previous psych student, I can say that there is much worse than cloppers out there.

Listen, this happens in almost every fandom, EVERY. FANDOM.

That's fine and dandy, but it's been around Longer than any of us and will persist till then ends of life.

Implying Clopers have Poor Morals.   You are welcome to disagree, or even leave since this topic bothers you so much.  But its not fair to judge, and yes you are judging others, we all do,   based on one aspect of their life they enjoy.

faie enough - but i still think it's rather disgusting, and to think of it with cartoon animals - at least do it while looking at something tasteful, like the Venus de Milo or Birth of Venus painting.... they were meant to be naked.

 

as said, what you do in private is your business - i'm just trying to stress to not tell others who like me let curiousity get the better of them.

In order to be a member of mlpforums, you should be 13 years or older. If you're under the age of 13, there is a reason why it says 13 YEARS or OLDER. Now, if you don't want to see inappropriate things, is suggest filtering them out. A lot of websites have an option for that.

 

People have already stated that they don't clop to the show itself, but to inappropriate fan art (aka R34). If someone asks a clopper if they clop, this clopper will probably say that they do. If you ask, you're going to get an answer. I mean, if you're gonna get offended by the answer, why ask the question? No one is shoving anything in anyone's face.

"Something meant to be clean..." Might I point out that the Crusades were started over religious "cleansing?"

 

Even if something has one use, at some point or another, someone will find another use for it. The Meier String Problem is a perfect example.

I can actually believe this,  I do know adults who have never done so.  They don't get disgusted that others do tho.

Cloppers are like us, what they do in their private time we don't have a right to judge. The thing is, nothing is considered normal in our fandom so this discovery that is not news to us shows that we shouldn't be so quick to judge. I don't hate cloppers at all, anyone who does keep it to yourself.

[SonOfTheNorthe 412]

I see faaarr more "Why do you guys hate cloppers?!?" than "I hate cloppers."

Thank you kindly. You saved me from explaining that.

No problem, had to say how I feel.

[LongGoneGr 1,304]

Just heed my advice - many people don't want to think of MLP in an explicit way. So keep private things private.

That's what i've been sying this whole time.

I could tell, you just did it with poor reasoning.

This is a fact of the fandom that we all have to deal with. Obviously, keep the pictures to yourself, cloppers...

... but at the same time, Pinkie Pie Rules, don't condemn our fellow kin because of one difference.
