My little pony... conclusion
13 years ago
General
I want to thank everyone who decided to share their thoughts on my plea in the (now deleted) journal - it offered me valuable insight on community and humans in general and, to top it off, helped me a lot with my current work :3 As for my true thoughts on MLP - i coultn't honestly care at all, since it doesnt really affect me in any way ;D
But, let me mention the three winners of our little project, that decided to ragequit and unwatch my page:
1) Why so srs?
2) read this, it will help you a lot in future http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ar.....of_Being_Right - it's more or less a guide how to troll efficiently. That one is for free ;3
3) Dont let the door hit you on your way out.
But, before i end this journal, i want to explain what my "current work" is about. Well, beside the fact that im working on my eristic is a test i wanted to engage for a while after a talk with
regarding the mlp and similar fandoms, that saying anything against it would lead to shitstorm. Well, im happy to conclude, that most of the people who commented in defense of MLP absolutely missed the point of my plea while few managed to form a question based on what i actually stated. Let me begin:
- Even tho i never stated that people should stop drawing MLP Characters, few of the guys sumhow got the hint that i was against ANY kind of MLP art and im actually ordering people to stop drawing anything regarding the mentioned show. It's either the fact, that said people never read the sentence i wrote to the end or decided to shift the whole thing into other perspective, trying to turn tables and insert meaning into the sentence that was never there. Even tho its effective, this tactic is quite primitive and easely to avoid, even offering an opening for counter attack - do try to avoid that, there are better ways to make OP looks silly and stupid.
- Since we are on topic - you cant compare things from different planes of existance to mlp. by this, i mean a single comment that decided the best way to win the argument is to compare my hate towards MLP to sadly still widespread hate towards Homosexuall Rights and Pro Choice. It's a cheap shot and it didnt worked at all - it was an overblown commparriason and you could just spare yerself the typing time and call me a nazi, its same thing you wanted to say in first place.
- Sum people tended to come into the discussion, believing themselves smarter and better than the rest - it's sad, but to be honest, I wasnt surprised to get at least one person with this attitude to comment here. So, here are my thoughts a) You shouldn't be the first to insult the Intelligence of the other Person first, leave this to your rival - stating that you are smarter shows either ignorance or endless stupidity, leaving you open for counter attack, even the weakest arguments can get you down at this point and b) If you decide to use any tactic to discredit the rival, expect it to come back :3
I could really go on with this, but i think i allready said enough on this topic ;3 So, for everyone that missed the fun and to those who stayed - see ya later ;3

And yush, if you give advice, you are offering your view of the Topic at hand, to say, you are part of the Argument then. Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but if you Comment, you arent innocent bystander any moar
The more you kn—wait, crap, I didn't teach anything substantial...uh, uh, uh....WAFFLES ARE COOLER LOOKING THAN PANCAKES!
*sagely nod* I'm so awesome.
I prefer the more modern take on the "don't like it, don't watch", aka, "haters gonna hate."
*Struts off to listen to some more Living Tombstone pony remixes*
My line ends there.
I don't care either way, but man, pony porn just makes me feel as weird as feral horse porn does in general.
I do get tired of seeing waves upon waves of anthro pony art when I search either here or e621 for anthro, female equines. . .
In general, I think people just need to stop getting so torn up over silly stuff. They are reacting the SAME way as those stereotypical furries they make fun of who whine about people pointing out the obvious unusual traits of the furry subculture.
I am sad I missed the other journal though. :C
Seeing that MLP is the in thing now, i can understand that most artist try they hand at it. Heck, I even did sum art based on shows i watched ^^ But since i dont watch TV at all, i dont really get much from the current pop-culture so to say and by that, dont really see much from mlp to care ;3 Altho i know your pain with the search on the said pages XD
In the end, you will get a lot of people getting torn up about , in our eyes, silly stuff - most people are just too darn insecure about the choice of their interrests that they will take any chance to defend it while a person who simply likes something wont give a fuck, cuz no one can take him that interrest away. It's like with true Vegeterians and guys that decided to become one just cuz it sounds cool - the first kind wont attack you much for eating meat as long you dont steer the topic in that way and start being an asshat while the other kind will take any chance possible to spread their views and attack anything that even looks like anti-veggie ;3
