almost makes me want to be a bronies if true. Nice one.

Okay, the sarcasm levels in this comic are through the roof. And yes, Sexual Harassment Fluttershy is pretty much awesome. Although I think I read that fanfic.

Its called flutter rapist not even joking.

It's... really sad how little that surprises me. I've seen some things man.

 

[Mullahgrrl]

I need to start going to more comic conventions, I thought there where mainly males attending.

 

[Yal]

While I have heard people speculate that bronies don't really like the show, they're only after the attention, I didn't think this was the sort of attention they meant.

I am beginning to suspect this entire comic may be fiction.

Um. The jungle of sarcasm here is a bit difficult to decipher, but I I'm almost positive I see what you did there. And if the "petty little tit" link is supposed to showing some sexist asshole you described....I think you should read the article much more carefully. Or, at all.

Now, before every single woman reading this explodes, let me disambiguate a bit. I absolutely do not believe that every girl who attends conventions and likes "Doctor Who" is pretending to be a geek.

What I'm talking about is the girls who have no interest or history in gaming taking nearly naked photos of themselves with game controllers draped all over their body just to play at being a "model." I get sick of wannabes who couldn't make it as car show eye candy slapping on a Batman shirt and strutting around comic book conventions instead.

See? Pretty simple. Not all girls at "geek conventions" are attention seeking posers, not even most of them. He just has a problem with the ones who ARE.

I don't see the problem here.

And before this thread gets too much farther, I suppose I should drop a link to the local brony group.

Ohhh, I get it. That was vicious. Well done!

and some petty little tit [http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/24/booth-babes-need-not-apply/?hpt=hp_c3] claiming to be
Oh my God CNN I hate that site. Brought my PC to a crawl until I manually killed Javascript. We're not all on i7s and Internet Explorer!

Also, comic: I don't get it. Like, really, no idea. Haha, sexual harassment is funny? Ironic commentary on some mad brony orgy or gang rape trend I missed? Feel free to explain, I apparently need small simple words.

The strangest thing I find in this particular comic strip isn't the cigar, the guy fleeing from 3 horny women (Granted, it's strangeness is probably in the fact that I wouldn't flee so quickly, if at all.), or how the Fluttershy one is into his "cutie mark" area.

The strangest thing is how the Twilight one (observant, huh?) said "He's only here for the ATTENTION," even though he was clearly avoiding attention. I guess women like these cannot tell a paradox when they speak one.

 

[Eri]

I'm confused, can someone just give me the rundown on this? I heard MLP conventions were actually almost entirely male.

Maybe small ones, but the big ones, like Bronycon, were extremely diverse. There's many vids floating around.

 

[Discord]

For the Cons, I've seen a good number of females at these things. I kinda find it funny people think it's 100% male cons or something.

As for the comic, I'm confused what the message or what they were going for... :|

Well see I for one use to ironically embrace as it would make people angry to hilarious a degree Upon watching it further it grew on me and many other people. Take for example the /b/ rebellion after image macros of ponies started pop up mods start handing out bans skittles. which made those who hate ponies rejoice, where bronies came back with full force. Bronies magnged to beat the 4chan mods and anti-brony lurkers into submission. Which ended with us getting our own /mlp/ board. The actions of moderators actually made people who like the show stand up for it which is pretty cool.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

While I have heard people speculate that bronies don't really like the show

I can say with 100% certainty that those people have no idea what they're talking about. At all.

 

[Norix596]

Many props.

 

[tehweave]

I wanna say that never happens, but... I've never been to a con dressed as a brony. (Yes, I am still in the 'brony' closet. Eventually, I'll tell my friends about it. Hopefully they'll be supportive.)

 

[Gasbandit]

For those who haven't figured it out, this comic is attempting to use gender reversal to lampoon what reportedly often happens to female attendees at other, typically-male-dominated conventions such as video game or comic book conventions - IE, the girls are harassed or maligned as not being "real" geeks, perhaps only being there for attention, etc. However it falls flat because the brony in this comic doesn't really act like a guy would be expected to act. It's a commendable motivation, but the execution is lacking. As noted earlier in this comment thread, too many guys would LIKE girls to come on to them in such a way.

 

[Palademon]

I wish I was a brony now...

I WANNA BE HIT ON BY CUTE GIRLS!

 

[LG Jargon]

I want girls to hit on me like that ;_;

Me too, Zip. Me too. *snf*

Also, it's great to see you someplace other than GamePolitics. I'm a long-time lurker and haven't signed on in a long while, but I still visit to keep up with current events and people's reactions to some things.

OT: I'm not sure whether this is sarcasm (most likely) or reality (it'd be surprising if it was), and whether to be offended or excited... I mean, I know there's a statement about the treatment of women/"girl gamers" in here somewhere; the parody and sarcasm just feel so heavy, it just feels as if this conversation was just played straight...And if that's the case, then it truly is weird...

I has confusion. 8S

 

[RatRace123]

I'dunno, Sexual Harassment Fluttershy is pretty cool, but I have to say I greatly prefer Cigar Chomping Rainbow Dash.

Yes, that's it! Thank you, Gasbandit! Couldn't have said it better...Tried, but...blegh.
