So to begin, this topic is inspired by the posters of this thread, though I am aware that this treatment happens to other groups.This is just what brought it to my attention.

So basically, that thread was a pony thread. It was obviously marked as a pony thread. Looking at the title alone, you can expect a lot of ponies and bronies in this thread.
And yet still a large amount of people who dislike the show went in there, complaining about the show and it's fans.
Now, so I don't get people moaning at me about how I'm a brony and therefore I'm complaining about how people dislike the show I like, I'm going to again reiterate that this is by no means the first fandom that has gotten this treatment, nor the last. Hell I've done it twice myself in the last week or so. I don't even know why I clicked on either of the threads, I just...did.
So let's hear your reasons, Escapist. Why do you go to threads about topics you hate?
Also people, please behave. I know this thread is geared towards asking people why they post in threads about topics they dislike, but that's still no excuse to be an ass when explaining why.
