...isn't that like saying I don't watch anime because I don't want to be confused with otakus (or weeabos) or I don't play games because I don't want to confused with gamers I have nothing against what you say but you know you gotta learn to not care what people think like the memes say haters gonna hate and if continue letting stuff like being branded with a fanbase that bothers you you miss out on an experience (whether it gives an experience or not)Jack the Potato said:Yep. It's a My Little Pony topic. Yep. I realize that by making this topic I am contributing to my own issue with there being too many pony topics. And yep, I realize that many of you have already left this topic with an exasperated "you're not helping" sigh. But I'm on my meager lunch break, so I find myself pressured to put this out here regardless.
Anyway, I admit that Lauren Faust is good at what she does. Powerpuff Girls is and always will be one of my favorite cartoons. I admit that MLP is quite possibly good. I even admit that if I watched it, I might like it. But I won't watch it, ever. And it's all your fault.
I never, EVER, want to be a brony or confused for a brony. I've seen how annoying some bronies can be about MLP, and why so many people hate you guys for those loudmouths. My concern is that I may become that guy and frankly, I don't want to be more annoying than I already am. I kind of like some of these people. The other problem is that even if I DO resist the urge to vomit Fluttershy facts on people, the instant someone knows I watch the show, they'll assume I am a brony and either mock me or, if they are a brony too, turn the whole conversation into a pony one. It's just too much hassle for me to have to deal with for watching one stupid cartoon. It ain't worth it, especially since their are dozens of other great shows to watch with fanbases that aren't exceptionally annoying.
So there you have it. If you agree, then good for you. If you think I'm just making excuses and are giving into peer pressure, then I give you a hearty "Yea, maybe." Either way, I don't really care.

You can watch the show without being a brony.Jack the Potato said:Anyway, I admit that Lauren Faust is good at what she does. Powerpuff Girls is and always will be one of my favorite cartoons.

Whats wrong with getting swept up in it all? (= and could you give me any real examples of people posting these so called an buttload of images outside of the less... reputable parts of the internet I may enjoy these.Abandon4093 said:No, come on. You have to admit people have been swept up in the stupid craze. Identifying as a brony is more of a metameme than anything else. People who've never participated in anything like that have probably been absorbed into it.lunncal said:That minority that you're talking about are annoying because they are loud, not because they like the show. They would be equally annoying no matter what it is that they liked, and I'd bet a lot of money that they were annoying before they started watching it too. It's not like a bunch of quiet, reserved people chose to watch the cartoon one day and were suddenly transformed into annoying internet trolls.Abandon4093 said:He's worried that if he watches it he'll end up ridiculously over enamored by it like the loud minority of the brony community.lunncal said:Really? Oh, that's fair enough then. I assume he doesn't like anything ever in the history of the universe, since you know, if you like something you might end up being an annoying fan.
No wait, that's just retarded. Care to explain again? I still don't get the issue at all.
~Eees no complicate!
Is that really what he's afraid of?
What he's worried about is being swept up in that craze too. Because to people who don't watch the show, it's just annoying when people quote it for no apparent reason or post an but load of images in threads. It just gets tedious.
Well I came on here to make the comment that your so far in the closet your chillin with Aslan, but having read your post I actually agree, for the most part. Personally I couldnt give a shit what people think about the things I watch or do, agree with some bronies being kinda obnoxious though.Jack the Potato said:Stuff
