Most of the high end Western stuff comes from Canada, because apparently drawing an 18-year old Kim Possible naked falls under U.S. pedophilia laws...
really? hmmmm... for some reason this sounds weird to be.

You know I don't care much some of the MLP fans can be pretentious, but as a rule people can be pretentious. But he is kind of right they never seam to do much more than put ponies in everything. And at a point you have to go why was that needed?

Eh better to just ignore it as best as you can. Only times I see Rule 34 of MLP is on the chans where I have no power over it and have to scroll over it every now and then.

I deal with it for the most part but I find the avatars to be the most annoying. Everybody and their mother has a MLP avatar buuuuuuut you get used to it I guess.

If anything, I'm more sick of the people who keep bitching about Bronies. You say you don't like they show because you're an adult...then grow the fuck up. Seriously.

Funny, seems to me like the only people who keep bringing it up are the ones that complain about people bringing it up all the time.

Just accept that you'll be seeing image macros of it everywhere you go for a long time to come and f'ing move on with your life.
What these peeps said.

The only time I ever see big MLP discussion in places it doesn't belong is when someone randomly complains about the fandom doing things it doesn't really often do. Seems counter productive.

I've never seen an annoying Brony on this cite. I've seen Pony avatars and an image macro here and there. There's more Nathan Fillion gifs than anything else.

Go and read Fallout:Equestria.

Come back.

That's why.

My thoughts on the matter. At this point, I feel like bronies have their own areas to go to without hearing people piss and moan about them, and if you do see it, it's like seeing a building as you drive down the road that has a sign on it saying it's having a meeting for a group of Twilight (the book, not the pony) fans. Don 't like Twilight? Don't go in.

I don't know how that was a response to what I said. If you where unaware that was a rhetorical question. If that was meant to be a smart statement, I don't get it? That was one of the things I was complaining about. So. . . . What?!

Yet another "I hate MLP" thread. You do realise that these vastly outnumber the actual fan threads don't you? You might be sick of it but I'm getting pretty sick of the hatedom getting shoved down my throat too! Darwin above, the "haters" seem to talk about it more than the fans.

We get it, you don't like a kids cartoon stop yammering on about it.

Fallout: Equestria is a gloriously magnificent piece of art, is what I'm referencing.

Otherwise, my post was not meant to be taken literally, I didn't actually expect you to read a full novel from a fandom that you don't care about, nor to enjoy it if you did. (enjoyment of FO:E is pretty much limited to the kind of people who can take ponies in a dramatic setting seriously).

I think ponies are really cute and it's nice to have something cheerful in a world full of grimdark, so no, I'm not really that sick of it. I am female though so maybe it's that :p

I understand what you mean though OP, when the film Avatar film came out I actually grew to hate it because of the hype even though I have never seen it. Just seeing one of those blue people makes me feel annoyed.

Eh, will admit i kinda stayed off deviantart a bit for a while due to all the MLP spam, but really i ignore it because it will die out sooner or later and its still not as damaging for people to like as twilight.

You can replace MLP with ANY OTHER FANBASE, and the same holds true.

Are you a fan of sonic the hedgehog? Here's some creepy ass SonicXTails slash fic for ya.
I find that offensive in every single possible Way. NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING is as bad as the Sonic Fandom. Hell, as annoying as Bronies get they are still far better behaved then the Sonic Fandom (aka. They actually have the capacity to be fun sometimes rather then proposing to marry characters from said series...yes i have seen that happen) and also far less creepy.

The Sonic Fandom is, if you'll permit the incredibly inappropriate metaphor, alot like that dead hooker we keep in the basement: we aren't proud of it, we don't bring it up in conversation with others and we try our best to forget it exists as much as possible. The Sonic Fandom is more or less that for the rest of the internet.

Admittedly the rest of the statement is the same and some fandoms are definitely capable of being creepy no matter what the fandom is for but...Sonic Fandom is pretty much infamous for how Creepy it is so using it as an example is probably not the best idea.

OT: The Bronies can be annoying but i just kinda got used to them after a while, but i still sometimes have fun just teasing a bit and partaking in playful conflicts. Apart from that, they don't bother me and i don't have to bother them. Although one thing that bothers me is that no bronie seems to be willing to mix Susumu Hirasawa songs with their show, which is a shame cause the guy has done some damned good songs: Such as Aria, Forces, Sign and...actually, let's just say everything he's made and leave it there.

Oh, crystalsnow, stop whining...:p

For the most part, I agree with you, and I'm a "brony" (gasp, shock!) I don't quite understand why people who hate it so much need to constantly comment on it...

Actually, I take that back. I'm sure one reason (on the escapist, at least) is that pony threads tend to garner lots of comments (which we're contributing to now, dang it!). I myself have gotten tired of all the controversy. I've been a fan for a year and a half, and that's all I am: a fan of a cartoon show. Just like I'm a fan of a lot of different things. In my time as a (ugh) brony, I haven't once, online or off, tried to force the show on someone. It's just not that big of a deal. I can't wait for people to just give it a rest. It's a show. If you don't like it, then just ignore it. It's not that hard.

So, in general, I agree with you, though I think you could of gotten your point across with a little less rage.
To be honest I'm starting to get the feeling that threads like this are being started on purpose, with the sole intention of attention-grasping. In fact, the OP even stated that he KNEW this could turn out into a flame-war situation before it even started, and he put it up anyway. As for getting my point across, it has been proven time and time again that only the loudest of people are heard. In all areas of life, reasoning alone is not enough to get a point across to the general public, you need to beat them across the head with it.

It's happened before, though this is a little bigger than last time. We had furries, which were kinda the same. They had niche media which they loved but nobody else cared much about, stupid catchphrases/words they'd made up that grated on nerves and fulfilled no purpose, a sub-community dedicated to weird porn and an annoyingly loud presence on the internet compared to their number. A few years on and now they're just part of the background noise of the internet at large. Every now and then you stumble over something you don't want to or don't care about, but only as often as you'd reasonably expect compared to all the other stuff that's out there. I'm hoping ponies do the same and just blend into the background as well so I can go back to ignoring them like I do furries, weirder furries, people who like WoW too much and duckface photos.
The whole war over furries is still pretty much ongoing, although I'll agree it has calmed down significantly. Ponies are going to blend into the internet background eventually, whether its within the time span of a year, or five years. But there are hundreds of other fanbases, each flammable and ready to recreate this same sort of situation.

And if you have dumbass friends who ignore your requests for them to not show you those things, that's a problem with your friends, not the fan-base or the franchise.
Can't speak for others, but I've NEVER had friends be this damned inistent about a show and getting me to watch it. And they're not even the TV cultural snob of the group who, about once a year, demands to know why I'm not watching all 200 or so seasons of Midsummer Murders.
I'm confused by your wording. Are you saying that you don't understand the OP because your friends respect your wishes, or are you saying your friends turn into incorrigible monsters when you tell them you don't watch MLP?

I know this thread is probably a shit storm waiting to happen but I need to say it. I'm really getting sick of having MLP shoved in my face. I'm not bothered by the avatars, the fan art, the fan-fictions, or the t-shirts, other fan bases have done that and the only difference is that the object of the fans adoration was meant for little girls. In fact I'm not opposed to the show at all really, I remember enjoying good shows that also tried to teach good morals and behaviours, though I do think the art style is needlessly cutesy. The majority of this rant is directed at the obnoxious fringe groups that inhabit any fan-base, but the ones of MLP seem the most prominent lately.

That said I am bothered by crossover fan-fictions, especially with IP's that have drastic differences in tone. For example I was told by a friend, despite my objections, another thing that annoys me about MLP, about a fan-fiction that involved both Skyrim and Gears of War that only served as a shameless promotion of MLP from what I gathered. I also get rather pissed off when people question my intentions when I tell them I don't like the show, thinking that I'm insecure about my masculinity or maturity, implying that me not liking a show aimed at five to ten year old girls is a problem. My response being that I've seen similar shows in my childhood having grown up with 80's-90's cartoons that MLP borrows heavily from when it comes to characters and have now found myself drawn to shows and hobbies that deal with a darker subjects that a show with a PG rating cannot explore in depth.

But I can handle the mere annoyance, it is difficult at times but it is manageable. The things that really bother/disturb/disgust me is the erotic fan-fiction and the porn. I don't think I need to explain how disturbing it is to see anthropomorphic versions of the cast with varying degrees of human features being used for pornographic images and all the bizzare fetishes porn has because if someone is going to make porn out of a little girls show they may as well cover all their eccentric/weird bases. Same goes for the erotic fan-fiction. It's rather disgusting considering the inspiration. The main problem is that you don't need to look for it to come across it, and since I doubt 5 year old girls are making this stuff it had to come from the bronies, a minority of them that watches the show for something other than morals they already know and really stretch the boundaries of love and tolerate. I don't mind furries and really weird fetishes as long as it's not shoved in my face but god-damn it what the fuck is wrong with some people? Most of my disgust comes from the fact that it's a children's show.

With that off my chest I would like to admit that the Escapist bronies are easily the most tolerable/respectful of the fans I've encountered, kudos to you guys. Anyone else have anything to say in regards to the topic of an unwilling overdose of MLP? In fact it doesn't even need to be directed at MLP, it can be any IP that obnoxious fans insist on shoving in your face.
Oh Jesus Christ, boo-fucking-hoo. You know what else has Rule34 and is a famous kids show? Transformers. Man, life for a new fan of that show is never quite the same after he or she accidentally finds his first R34 of Megatron butt-fucking Starscream/Optimus Prime. You know what most Transformers fans do?

We fucking ignore it. Just like I can safely say that about 95% of the brony fanbase does. It's a fact of internet fandom, most of us don't like it but we don't waste our energy bitching about it either.

As for your friend sending you shit you didn't want to read, you could always you know -NOT- read it. Junk the link or file and call him what he is, an arsehole.

I was sick of it the day that everyone decided to post pictures of it that had zero relevence to the thread. In all honesty, MLP has the most overzealous fanbase I have ever seen. If anyone says something bad about MLP the fans of it attack the person like they just called their entire life into question.

Continue to be biased and act like a rude person to people that like a cartoon I guess.
