Bronies.
13 years ago
Well, recently I used to have a friend, he was a furry, a nice guy and all. I'm not saying who. Maybe if you followed me on twitter you would.
anyway, one day he became a brony, just out of the blue! I admit I didn't like this idea of his at all, so I posted a snarky comment back (my bad) so I managed to fix this problem and fix this altercation we had about it. I fought I fixed this.
Two days latter!
He posted a tweet with link to this picture http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8683995/ saying "well that cahged my opinion fast! saw this, now i have a different opinion on pony haters, if you hate ponies at all, you are not my friend! and there are absolutely no exceptions!"
And he now has this "friend terms and conditions" thing on his page.
I was blocked on everything to his contacts. I didn't question or hesitate, I just deleted him to because he has tuned absolutely bat shit insane! In three bloody days!
Now. There is a reason I don't like bronies. that up there is exactly why! This has happened to me a few times in the past. Some don't like the fact I dislike the show to. Honestly, for there sake I tried to like it. Simply I can't, I found it not in my taste at all.
I don't want to hate the people or the fanbase, but they make it really really fucking hard not to.
so if you're not a stubborn obnoxious brainwashed little shit, by all means, watch the show, I don't care, just don't fucking turkey slap it in my face! Don't try to convince me to like it, it wont work.
So please! if you want to help improve fix your fandoms image, don't get fucking butt hurt by people hating it. every fanbase has it's haters, especially the furry fandom.
I'm trying to tolerate this crap, really!

FA+

TL;DR? Just be polite & tolerate. <:v
Stories like this one, and tales of nasty shit some of the fans have done at their cons, prove there no better than any other fangroup anywhere. Given time, it'll level out. Right now its still in the OMG phase. Think of what furry was like when cons started growing, and the media caught on... This is yet to happen to them, and surely, it will. Pony porn isnt hard to find, and being based on a kids show, it will be a fiasco. Time bomb waiting to happen.
*Ashamed*
Also
Who the hell puts a "Terms and conditions to being my friend" on their page?
I mean who wants to be friends with somebody who has "rules" to being their friend? :V
Being a dickhead makes you a dickhead.
Also, this made me giggle a bit: "so if you're not a stubborn obnoxious brainwashed little shit, by all means, watch the show, I don't care, just don't fucking turkey slap it in my face! Don't try to convince me to like it, it wont work."
Awesome.
every group got big bunch of these and idiots
im not fan of MLP pony show but i dont mind pony characters , i know few ponies who are my friends
move on , ignore him too
[Sarcasm]We want to change the world![/sarcasm]
he made his choice , you made yours:V
I'm such a douche.. :B
You're correct, it wont be solved by us and the fandom just dies itself, i hope.
my first mate turned so despite we were together for 1 year+
I happen to know a few bronies who are alright, the Knotcast crew for example x3
Anyway, that is true about the brony's who don't want to look like furies, really there isnt a difference to the fandoms. xP
All I'm just trying to say is, I kind of feel that sometimes you need to blame the person, not the fandom. Interests like that usually don't drastically change the person, usually it only brings up things to light that the person already has. Then again I am not a proffessional so this is all just my hypothesis on the situation.
What I'm trying to say is that you do have a reason to hate the Bronys, but I kind of want to say is that this kind of thing is fairly old and fairly common in the broad spectrum of history and that if your friend wasn't into bronies he'd probably fall into some other culture in the comming years or become one of the 'extreme' brony haters. Though that's just my opinion.
It's kind of interesting how strongly some people will grasp onto certain pieces of culture or ideals. I mean, what do you think would be the cause of that?
Maybe that's why Lauren Faust left the show, because she didn't wanna deal with the crazies. >> I'm sure her husband's new show Wander over Yonder won't develop such a cult following, which is sad, because the animation looks better. <<
Plus those greasy-ass looking older guys that look like they crawled out of their mom's basement and go on how much they love one character or the other flat out creeps me out to no end.
I dont fucking care if one of my friends likes the show or is a brony, as long as he wont get on my nerves with it.
And yes. Bronys in general are a Topic I ''really dont give a shit about''. BUt when they become batshit insane and obnoxious like that I start hating em too.
It also throws a really bad image on their fandom in general. Furrys got the same problem, just because of some Dipshits that had to act
like rabid 12 year old attention Whores / Drama queens, many people thought, and still think, we're an annoying, sick bunch. I really fucking love the furry fandom
(no surprise there) but there are some furs I cant stand or I even hate, thats a normal thing. But to hate someone just because he is a Brony is nonsense, but to hate a
certain Brony for a number of different reasons, thats an entirely different story. Im sure most of you who are reading this know exactly what I mean! The ones
that think they have to tell it the whole fucking world. Using a Brony name, Brony Spray, naming their weapons after MLP characters etc etc etc. It just has no limits
how annoying some of them are! Even thats not all, I have even seen some dicks discussing MLP characters in a round of TF2. Nothigns worse than spamming the
chat windows with annoying shit like that. But I saved the best thing for the end. It only ever happened once, but there was this one fucking sniper guy that kept
using his voice chat to play an MLP sound whenever he killed someone. I dont have to mention how long it took until people banned him (protip: not very fucking long)
To sum it up. I dont care or really hate bronys in general, only Certain Individuals.
And in the end IT just boils down to what you just said in this journal
''I don't want to hate the people or the fanbase, but they make it really really fucking hard not to.
so if you're not a stubborn obnoxious brainwashed little shit, by all means, watch the show, I don't care,
just don't fucking turkey slap it in my face! Don't try to convince me to like it, it wont work.''
tl;dr = I dont give a shit as long they dont turkey slap it into my face
I am not a brony, and will probably never be one, ever. However, I don't hate MLP and its fans, and like you, I do try to be tolerant with the fandom. However again, the MLP fandom has indeed gone out of hand, and I can understand how the non-fans are annoyed by the sudden explosive numbers of self-proclaimed bronies all over the world. It's fucking insane! D= I don't even understand why everyone is suddenly obsessed over a kid's show!
It's like the anime fandom all over again. Except with ponies.
For the record, I did watch a few episodes of Friendship is Magic online. My conclusion? I thought, "Meh, not my kind of show."
I'm sorry to hear what happened between you and that.. former... friend of yours. >_< That's just... batshit insane of him! O_o I wouldn't want to be near to someone that obsessed.
