Forget Wars, We've Got Pony Problems!

So remember my last journal where I started on about how I couldn't figure why people disliked Priestraven's banner?
Well turns out they didn't. Dislike it I mean. As in it wasn't that particular banner they were talking about.
No, turns out it was the current banner, which is a subject I care even less about than people I used to know drawing suggestive pics - and that suject is My Little Pony.
I don't understand MLP. I didn't understand it the first time round, and I understand it less now. The animation looks like a drunk person attacked a copy of Adobe Flash, the colours make my head hurt, and the voice actors make me want to physically attack my own ears just to get them to stop.
Sure, script wise it can be mildly amusing....but then so can Jeremy Clarkson, it doesn't alter the fact that he's an insufferable conservative twat with the tact of an atomic bomb.
Basically what I'm saying is that the only thing I "get" less than My Little Pony's popularity, is the fact that people are proud of watching it. Grown men who use a nickname so sickening it makes a swastika sound like a preferable choice when confronted with the question "which of these two would you rather have tattooed on your forhead?"
Then again I don't like Thundercats or the band Queen so aparently I'm a retard.
But in all honesty, how many people actually look at the banner? And of those people, how many actually give a shit one way or the other? I get that some people think it makes a mockery of furs and blah, blah, blah - but in all honesty does FA having an MLP banner really make more of a mockery of this fandom than it's members? I mean, some in this fandom defend it - including all it's frankly fucken weirdness - with a terminal intensity on a par with patriotism not seen since Pearl Harbour.
Basically - it's a banner, and although I don't care one way or another I urge those getting angry about it to reassess their lives...there's wars, famine, floods, poverty worldwide. If all the people getting angry about the banner directed even 10% of that anger towards these problems we'd save the world tomorrow....and declare it "Fuck Off We're Furs Day"

Yeah Jeremy Clarkson is a twat (but I like reading his books) but it doesn't matter since I'm more of a James May fan. I do like Queen though - last night I dreamt that I had met the surviving members!
And that's cool.
