Due to being Asexual your opinion annoys me, but I'm sure there are some MLP fans who see the show in a sexual way even if I can't really understand it, so you know whatever.flaming_squirrel said:

......that's a rarity, i'm in a hard place right now, this whole bronie thing has me wierded out. but i'm very interested in such a community (don't capatilize on that statement to try and lure me in) i just don't get how this whole thing started
Heh. You could say that's happened in the Brony fandom, since most of us sort of just don't really give a shit about the first three generations, but I don't see how that's a bad thing. I do that with Star Wars and Indiana Jones too, I hate the prequels and Crystal Skull and I ignore them because of that. So, I guess I only like certain Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, not because I'm a fan, but because those are the ones that are actually good ... Actually, I don't see how rejecting some films of a series and not others based on how good they are is fanboyism at all, it just seems to be proper response for anyone to have. You like the stuff that's good, you don't like the stuff that's bad. On the other hand, a Star Wars fan that insists the prequels are fantastic simply for the fact that it's Star Wars is just as bad as a weeaboo, who insists Japanese things are the best because they're from Japan.canadamus_prime said:
I know. I'm not talking about Bronies specifically either, I was trying to understand your viewpoint with respect to fandoms in general. I thought that was plain but I guess not.canadamus_prime said:
How this whole thing started. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic#Internet_following]Tom Milner said:
`The response from the Internet is traced to cartoon and animation fans on the Internet board 4chan, responding to Cartoon Brew's Amidi's negative essay on the show and state of current animation trends.[20] The members of the cartoon "/co/" board of 4chan, having not yet seen the show, considered the alarmist nature of the essay and began watching the show, and quickly warmed up to the series for plot, characters, and animation style.'
Well that's not quite the same thing since the... wait a minute, three generations???DarthFennec said:
I'm only aware of 2, the old one from way back in the 80's and this new incarnation that everyone's obsessed with. What one am I missing? Actually, on second thought I don't care.Anyway, as I was saying, that's not quite the same thing since the generations of MLP are generally unrelated to each other as far as continuity and canon go. So being a fan of one generation doesn't require the acknowledgment of any of the other ones. Although blatantly saying that they don't exist wouldn't sound any less fucking retarded unless you genuinely didn't know about them.
As far as Star Wars and Indiana Jones go however, well I personally didn't mind the prequel trilogy or Indy4, but that's beside the point. The fact of the matter is to devote yourself to a series or franchise means taking the good with the bad, not arbitrarily deciding what parts you like and pretending the rest doesn't exist like some extremely spoiled retarded brat! Look at me for example, I love the Dragon Ball mythos, even Dragon Ball GT; but I'll say right now I hate the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. I hate the way it was achieved, I hate how it looks, and I generally hate everything about it. However do I close off and pretend it doesn't exist? NO! No, because that would be fucking stupid! Not to mention bloody immature.
Rather than stir up more hatred, we should just let bygones be bygones and love and tolerate the shit out of them. No more forcing ponies down their throats, no more saying people are stupid for liking or hating things, we just need to rise above it and don't feed the trolls. If people wanna hate, ignore them. Giving them a thread like this to hate in only makes things worse if you ask me.
I know this seems obvious, but since we still seem to be having a problem with this we have not really learned our lesson. There is nothing wrong with having pony threads here, but maybe we should consider keeping them to a slightly smaller number? There are other, more pony-centric, forums we could post some of this stuff on guys. There we wont have to worry about trolls and haters. I love the Escapist, but personally I don't think it is the best place for Bronies at the moment.

I agree and however have seen the show. I use to watch it as a child all the time. Now, nostalgia kills it. Personally I hate the fact that just about everyone I know shoves it down my throat. Seriously. I get picture messages on my cell phone of ponies. *sighs* I don't hate them, I hate it shoved down my throat.Mackheath said:
