boiteporte 591 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 Well, good luck with that. I remember seeing a show on the French Television. The host of the show invited a brony to try to explain to other people some more about MLP and why people like it. At the end, the host literally said " If a brony ever came close to my children, I would break his nose". It goes to show that some people will never actually change their mind about "bronies". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Night 884 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 People hate bronies because they post spam and tell people to watch their show. Sig made by Kyoshi. Cool things people have said about me: Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name. (In reference to an author I suggested.)

Maybe not as much, but I've seen a lot of it on Youtube. Someone will simply say that they are not a fan of MLP on some video pertaining to the fandom, and people with MLP avatars will rush to call him or her a "hater" and tell them to watch the first 20+ episodes of a show that they obviously don't like.

Dr. Frasier Crane 319 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 So what's this fandom you're wading into to find anti-bronies? It's probably going to be the CoD fanbase, let's face it. +~ Liebe ist für alle da ~+ My Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/shikarilukari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashely Dreamer 37 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 Probably at the dawn of ponydom, when MLP was 4CHAN territory, but definitely not as much now. It's because you guys have calmed down by now. Originally it exploded and you would not be able to visit any sort of forum or community site without seeing a mass of pony avatars and discussions. A little before then most forum users and 4chan users were actually joking about MLP and were fans just to screw around. At the point between S1 and mid S2 the fandom grew even greater, that's when I jumped ship, I'm an ex-brony. The more extreme and not quite socially acceptable bronies became very vocal at this point. All the porn and grimdark shit flew everywhere, creating a comparison similar to the Sonic fandom (which was not as widespread or popular). I can assure most users that most ex-bronies or people who don't care for ponies actually don't care that much about bronies, as long as discussions and whatnot fall in place (like brony sites or threads) and as long the cloppers/grimdark writers/porn drawers/etc (lyra plushie) aren't out in the open. Anti bronies are more often people who don't believe that anyone can watch a show which had the target demographic as girls. They have the same mentality as people who are anti anime. Then there are also the people who just want to fit in and hate something. But at the same time, some "anti-brony" viewpoints can be understood, like how people are weary of furries. Then there are users who wouldn't really be classified as anti-bronies, sort of like if they get pissed or upset if you try to create a pony thread on any board that isn't /mlp/.

Obstacle 1 21 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 One of the things that never ceases to amaze me about the brony fandom is their capability of being able to trash and insult anyone who isn't in favor of the bronies, as if they are wrong and the bronies are right.Insulting people in a large group on a community made for people who claim love and tolerance to be their motto, is probably the best depiction of hypocrisy I've ever witnessed, mainly because it's so common in the brony fandom.People treat 'anti-bronies' as trash to humanity simply because they portray their opinion in a non-friendly manner.But what better way to show them how ignorant and intolerant they are by insulting them among fellow bronies in the same way.You people need to let others have their own opinion, as many have done so with the bronies.I don't understand what's the whole point of conducting a study, when it's simply closely-minded people who cannot fathom a mix in gender stereotypes such as the MLP fandom has displayed, or those who simply join the bandwagon.But then again, it's all an opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBunny 57 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 Lord Tony is a tool, watched his videos what a joke. Simply put he is someone who thinks that making fun of bronies is going to impress someone and I bet it makes him feel cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Pony 345 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) Well, good luck with that. I remember seeing a show on the French Television.

At the end, the host literally said " If a brony ever came close to my children, I would break his nose". It goes to show that some people will never actually change their mind about "bronies". I get what you are saying here but do you realize that this person might just be one of those who believe that bronies are pedophiles because he does not know differently? That is one of the accusations towards the group though it's beyond me as to why! But assuming that this person was told that they are pedophiles, that would certainly explain the break a nose threat. The point that I tried to make earlier is that ignorance often breeds the hate. If you assume something is bad and other people reinforce that, you will probably believe it is bad. The positive thing to do is to simply talk up the show and how there is an adult following now because it's great animation and a great theme. Kind of try to make the little light bulb go off in the person's head as to maybe their being wrong in the first place. That probably will not solve the extremist Brony hater because they are like bullies who need to hate something in order to feel better. I'm not sure how to reach those people but this will be an interesting study. Edited May 16, 2014 by Diva Pony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 I swear sometimes it seems like Bronies are more against Bronies than Anti-Bronies are. #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 All the porn and grimdark shit flew everywhere, creating a comparison similar to the Sonic fandom (which was not as widespread or popular) I have never understood why bronies get singled out for that when it has been everywhere for years for countless other fandoms including other ones with predominantly non human characters. There is literally more Pokemon porn than pony porn yet teen and adult Pokemon fans don't get hit with the accusation of "oh you just like it because you jerk off to it." And the anti bronies should really see all the vehement and rather unjustified hatred and mass scapegoating of the fans who do enjoy that, especially the ones who are into clop. It has gone down, but is still very present and honestly baffling to me. I have been in many fandoms but I have never seen anything like that. I can understand frustration with not wanting to see this stuff and it still popping up but singling out bronies for this is just stupid. I can assure most users that most ex-bronies or people who don't care for ponies actually don't care that much about bronies, as long as discussions and whatnot fall in place (like brony sites or threads) and as long the cloppers/grimdark writers/porn drawers/etc (lyra plushie) aren't out in the open. Yes, but that is not who I think of when I think of anti bronies when I think of anti bronies I think of the ones that actively go out of their way to flame and troll bronies. That is one thing that irritiates me about this fandom is how a lot of bronies call everyone who is not into the show a "hater" when a true hater is just as I have describe and not simply a person through which ponies is simply not their cup of tea. But at the same time, some "anti-brony" viewpoints can be understood, like how people are weary of furries. The only thing I will give the anti bronies aside from thing which nearly every fandom is guilty of it and seem ridiculous to single out bronies for is the fact that yes there is an annoying and loud minority that is being way too pushy with trying to get people into the show. And of course how so many bronies treat the show and the fandom like it is a religion and hating on clop and grimdark fans is just one example of this. They have these unrealistic standards and expect everyone to be perfect at all times which is impossible and get butthurt when that is not the case. Another thing is I don't understand the whole "the fans ruined it" argument that a lot of ex bronies use, I could understand not liking the fandom of a show but still liking a show or losing interest in a show but letting what other people say, think and do affect your enjoyment of a franchise makes me wonder if the person was even an actual fan to begin with. I am not saying that you feel this way but it is just something I have noticed. 3 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, it's all an opinion. Ho there, friend, step off your high-horse, people are starting to stare... This study isn't to covert anybody or whatever ulterior motive you can think of in the second you're reading this exact sentence (is it a good one?). This is to satisfy my own curiosity (and no doubt many other's, as well) and to give me something to do on my off-times. What's the most annoying attribute, what fandoms do they belong to, reactions to different things. Stuff like that. There's a difference between "non-friendly manner" and "actively proclaiming their disgust through art adn other media". I really have no problem with the people who say "I don't like the show/fandom" and move on. I'm completely cool with them. They're a rare breed, unfortunately. I suggest you internet a teenie bit more. By the way, I was never one to "love and tolerate". It's an admirable concept, but definitely one that shouldn't be religiously practiced like you're implying we should. That only invites people to try to sh*t all over us without fear of implications. That dreaded motto is turning us into the internet's doormat. 1 ^Click for my Deviant Art^ You truly are the Rosa Parks of not understanding what r34 is.

Ashely Dreamer 37 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) The distinction will just need to be clear, as ex-bronies and people who don't care to see ponies won't neceisarily be anti-bronies.

I can understand frustration with not wanting to see this stuff and it still popping up but singling out bronies for this is just stupid. The problem is that you have to look for that stuff, the pokemon stuff is pretty well hidden. When the brony fandom exploded, it was extremely easy to find porn right out in the open. One of my friends was one of those pony porn artists and was banned on another forum because his art. This has more to do with the first impression the brony fandom made and how vocal the extreme bronies were, as many non-bronies saw this content. Even my friends who knew little to nothing about ponies heard about the lyra plushie. Of course it's not like that as of now, but people still remember.

I am not saying that you feel this way but it is just something I have noticed. I did jump ship and stopped calling myself a brony after S2 because of the fandom. But I stopped keeping up with MLP and etc during S3 because of other reasons. Although I do have friends who dropped out for that reason, the fandom ruining the show. Some of them were sickened by the porn but others were in MLP just for the community aspect and not the show, which is easy to understand.

Even if that's not what you are trying to do that's kind of how it sounded, I'm just tired of people generalizing groups that I happen to identify with negatively witch very much includes this fandom, especially when I do not partake in any of it, I will say I have in the past argued with Ant-Bronies but to their face so I'm not innocent but I do know many who are. It also kinda sounds like your being a bit selfrightous here just saying. But then again it's all an opinion.

Yes indeed they won't one of the main points in my last statement is my annoyance at how a lot of bronies don't seem to understand that.

One of my friends was one of those pony porn artists and was banned on another forum because his art. Yes but I am sure there are some other examples that aren't exactly well hidden with how rampant R34 in general is, to be honest since I am kind of a perv I tend to have my safe search turned off so it is kind of hard for me to notice if something is hidden or not unless for whatever reason I have trouble finding something when I am looking for it. This has more to do with the first impression the brony fandom made and how vocal the extreme bronies were, as many non-bronies saw this content. There are bronies that are jackasses, that didn't surprise me as I have been in the Star Wars and Sonic fandoms for a long time but again this is a case of people unfairly singling out bronies for something nearly all fandoms are guilty of. I think that a lot of the people that saw this tend to be fairly young and new to fandoms and because of that tend to be fairly naive about these things, I think it is also why there are so many bronies have unrealistic expectations of the brony fandom. I am not denying that this made a negative impression on people I am just saying that it really shouldn't. 2 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 793 May 17, 2014 Share May 17, 2014 I'm going to start a little study regarding anti-bronies soon. I'm going to basically go in-depth into a fandom that's just as rabid as we are and hopefully come out on the other side with more information on them and why they hate us so much. It will be completely unbiased and strictly to gather information. I will be taking the results and turning them into a comic strip as I get them. The point of this is for both sides to understand where they're coming form, yet poke fun at both at the same time. Meet Case Study, the mascot of this project of mine. She likes making polls and smoking long cigarettes, and speaks in a German accent. How do you want me to relay data to you? Through PM? Will It be sourced? It would disappoint, though not surprise me, if half of them turn out to be furries. There's just... I've got a facepalming rant bubbling towards the surface now.
