The stupid debate: Furries vs. Bronies
13 years ago
Seriously, has anyone just sat outside this debate, and go "This is the dumbest thing ever?". Because it seriously is.

Check it out, Duo made a journal commenting on his surprise about how 'Hoof Beat', an MLP adult fan magazine with a limited print and sold exclusively at AC 2012, has currently climbed up to 1000 bucks.
...and then the comments started flowing in. "Oh, wow. That's Bronies for you." Is it really? Have we NOT noticed just how much people will sometimes spend in the Furry fandom?
and there's this whole thing about how people are 'sickened' by the perversion of the MLP, because they're from a girl's cartoon.
Oh really? What about all that artwork of Princess Sally, Peg, Julie Bruin, Rouge the Bat, etc.? This isn't any different!
Seriously, of all the things we fight about in this fandom, this is easily one of the DUMBEST THINGS.
Furry: It's like being a Brony, only not limited to tiny horses. :|
Now get over yourselves.
Edit: Oh, and btw, the Hoof Beat book was scanned in by SOMEONE, I dunno who, but I found it on lulz.net

Here's a link to the rar. Get it while it's hot, ya goobers!
Edit #2: Here's a piece that pretty much displays the entirety of this!

Which only furthers my belief that us acting like there's this separation between us and 'Bronies' is stupid as hell. We all like anthro'd creatures, we all like cartoons, friends, games...so, WHY are we attacking each other? This is dumb.
guess this song wont work @.@
but seriously...this whole lil "debate" is just...i dunno how to put it *shrugs*......Now if youd excuse me.....gotta find some boobahs! >:3 <3
We can only care about so many people at any given time, but this is beyond pointless. It's like looking into a mirror...just one filled with small equines instead of every possible animal. XD
I still find it stupid, as Furries & Bronies alike make the same stupid mistakes and behave the same, stupid way.
kids/family cartoon targeted for youth audiences and parents.
What I actually hate are these so-called "Bronies" that really
go WAAAAAYYYYYY overboard with their "Obsession", and
end up spreading their sadistically childish behavior to
the far corners of the earth and every little bit of cyber space.
I haven't even gotten a chance to try the cartoon for myself,
then these delusional people come by, then I become sickened
because of the absurdity of how they overreact to just about anything.
In short: the artwork/existent of MLP is fine, bronies just made it bad.
But that said, Furries acting the way they do in return isn't helping either, especially when we're no more innocent than those horse lovers. X3
I like the cartoon and I like the characters, and everyone else is entitled to do their own thing about it, I guess. It's just one of those things were I just look at them, go "Eh, whatever." then backstab them in TF2. X3
Because there's this massive idea that Brony =/= Furry. I've seen it on both sides, which is one of the silliest, dumbest things...and now that there are 'sides', there are fights. Which is even dumber.
Ya know, stuff that people attack furries for being. :P
OMG BRONIES ARE DISGUSTING!
NO U FUCKING FURRIES!
...seriously. Fandoms in general do things that would be considered insane (and sometimes awesome at the same time). I like both, so I guess I have to turn in both my Brony and Furry cards, then?
It's why I don't get this hatred of the Bronies by Furries, or vice versa. We are all into the SAME THING.
The sooner everyone figures that shit out, the happier we will all be.
Okay, YES, there *ARE* ponies everywhere. SO what? It's a hot topic right now, folks want to make money off that, I can't blame them!
Hell, I only wish that Sonic Sat AM characters got this kind of exposure! XD
And I'm honestly surprised there haven't been more games using SatAM characters at this point, since you mentioned it.
And if you're checking it out to just see the Sat AM crew, it's disappointing in that regard. You only get to see them from one of the mini-games. :|
The bronies who were never furries in the first place find themselves fapping to cartoon ponies. They get freaked out, thinking they'll be lumped into the furry category and go apeshit. And the fact that it's a show that is "aimed at girls" is another thing. When the show is actually aimed for a large demographic.
I was in a local Brony group on FB not too long ago, and I had to quit the group. They were getting way to obsessed and reading way too much into the damn show for me to care. It was kinda creepy. They kept complaining about how there were no male ponies to pair up with the mane six, even though the show is chock full of male ponies (there's even a huge list on a wiki somewhere), and when I mentioned that they all went apeshit about how they "didn't have developed personalities" like it fucking matters. They even disregarded my suggestion of just pairing them with OCs. Ended up flipping my keyboard and saying "adios, fuckers"
It's good to be interested in whatever you want, but when you go to far over something as simple as ponies, then people start thinking you're all loons.
I think the best part about the entire argument is the part about Bronycon. It literally is a G rated convention for people of all ages, not just a meeting ground for adult males to congregate and fap to pony porn. Yet some furries find that strange while attending furry conventions filled with adults who fap to cartoon animals?
This entire debate is hilarious and useless.
As a fan of the original 80's show, Friendship is Magic, and silly cartoon animals; They're all fucking crazy fighting over this.
