The percentage is probably lower, due to fans of MLP being attracted to threads like these like stray dogs to a succulent piece of meat. Non-fans stay away, thereby giving you a false image if the brony percentage.Lunncal said:I don't really know how Zero Punctuation is linked, but I found it pretty surprising that this poll indicates more than half of the members of this site are bronies.

I knew there was quite a lot here, but I never figured it would be such a high proportion. Then again, it could just be that a brony is more likely to click on a thread with the word "bronies" in its title, or it could just be an anomaly that will even out in a little while.
I agree. Some of the fans just won't fucking shut up, and it's making us all look bad. Trust me when I say that the majority just want to enjoy the show and what comes from it.RadioactiveMicrobe said:Bronies are the most annoying thing on the internet for this reason.
There are lots of other groups on the internet, but it seems that only bronies have to let everyone know at every given opportunity that they are, in fact, a brony.

That's quite the universal observation. Too bad it isn't true. After all, I see you have Steam. Gabe Newell is a brony.RadioactiveMicrobe said:Bronies are the most annoying thing on the internet for this reason.

I dunno... They're both violent, have a mix of colors and culture, bunch of characters fighting for the common good, medieval style, and...Infernai said:Not a fan of bronies, but i do indeed like Yahtzee. I don't think I'm one who is capable of fairly commenting on the Bronie phenomena as i am a fan of the series which is MLP's polar opposite in everyway: Berserk.
Just because something's popular doesn't mean everyone in the world likes it.Innegativeion said:So to recap, according to your expert opinion, we exist because we are weird (IE, unpopular. You do know that's what weird means in essence, right?)cswurt said:Bronies wouldn't exist if normal people didn't think they were weird.
They're just attention starved, so they flaunt this MLP nonsense around everywhere so people notice them.
Why MLP? Cuz everyone else is doin' it and they just wanna be popular.
but we choose MLP specifically because it's popular...
self-defeating argument is self-defeating.
Please at least TRY to make sense if you're going to randomly lash out at select group of the escapist's community.
Um, why is that not okay, exactly?TheNaut131 said:How bout no? Really, that's the immediate logic I see behind making this thread. You wanted to make a few friends by feeding off their interest in the show. Nothing wrong with that, persay, it's just not okay in a public thread.
Isn't that the point of a public forum? To, you know, talk about anything. Isn't the point of a website like the escapist to serve as a meeting ground for people of like interests?
Maybe in a gym for the criminally insane. Most people I know don't go around shoving jockstraps down people's throats, no matter how annoying they are.cswurt said:Just because something's popular doesn't mean everyone in the world likes it.
Pokemon was popular for years and years. But if you went into a gym proclaiming your undying love for Pikachu, you'd end up with a jockstrap shoved down your throat.
I'm sure in the small make-believe world that exists in your head, what you just said made perfect sense. But someday you're going to have to come out of your shell and join us here in the real world.
As intelligent as I'm sure you'd like to make yourself sound in front of all your imaginary online peers, nothing you have to say really holds any water for me. Because all you're doing is trying to speak in defense of grown men who have taken to fawning over 'My Little Pony', something that was originally marketed to little girls back in the 80's.Innegativeion said:Maybe in a gym for the criminally insane.

When's the last time someone's ran into a gym yelling that "twilight is best pony" anyway?
Are you using that hypothetical situation as a metaphor for the internet? Because if you are, I would like to remind you that, yes, people have and do go on the internet to proclaim their undying love for pikachu, or gordon freeman, or call of duty, or sephiroth, or whatever. I mean just look at this website. It happens all the time. Your metaphor just doesn't hold water, because no one actually does that.
I'm going to choose to believe that the last paragraph is just to rustle the ol' feathers or make me say something stupid. After all, no one would actually be so presumptuous as to think that saying something doesn't make sense makes it so, especially when no evidence of any kind is presented... would they?
Weird is unpopular, which is the opposite of popular. Your previous statement remains self-defeating, and reliant on motivations you could not possibly know, besides.
Mudslinging. Classy.cswurt said:*snip*
Oooooh, never mind I understand now. How silly of me to think you'd try to empathize with unlike opinions.this is the internet, where people will talk on endlessly without consequence
Or that it indicates 53% of the community that would click on a thread about bronies are bronies.Lunncal said:I don't really know how Zero Punctuation is linked, but I found it pretty surprising that this poll indicates more than half of the members of this site are bronies.

Admittedly both have fighting. BUT! Berserk has people getting eyes jabbed out, brutally tortured and even rape. MLP, while some characters come to blows, well...they don't end up with their heads torn off at the end of it and have their corpses paraded around on the edge of spear tips by a horde of demons charging off to do battle.Lugbzurg said:They're both violent
Ok, not gonna argue with that one too much as Berserks world does look VERY impressive in some parts and the other civilizations shown are rather varied. Although, that said it's still a dark ages medieval world and as such the author goes heavily out of his way to showcase that the world of Berserk is VERY Crappy.Lugbzurg said:have a mix of colors and culture
Pfft! Hehehehehe- Oh wait you're serious. In that case let me adjust my tone. *ahem* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Lugbzurg said:bunch of characters fighting for the common good
I'll give you that one. Although, from what i remember, i think the world of MLP is a whee bit more advanced then the Berserk world in most regards. Still, they are both medieval in styling so i'll give you that one.Lugbzurg said:medieval style
How many Darkwing Duck fans watch Jimquisition?Eddie the head said:That's a random question. How many Heroes fans watch Unskippable? Where dose this come form and why would there be a special circumstances if they did?
