Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
Y'know, I find it very hard to say anything bad about Bronies. Of course every fandom has it's dark sides, but it's really pretty small and contained, and people who bitch about Bronies are really just too stupid to effectively ignore anything.
My main point though, is the charity work the fandom has done. The
Humble Brony Bundle broke $20k, and the
Smile! event broke $26k. Those are just recent things too. There have been plenty of cases in the past year, of artists creating something for auction with the proceeds going to a charity (usually ending in $500 - $1500 donations). I can't think of any other fandom accomplishing that kind of charity, relative to it's size, in this short of time.
The Brony fandom has legitimately proven itself to have accomplished good for humanity. And the drive to do all this really is innocent and idealistic; it's what those ponies would do. It makes Bronies look good, but I've never seen it argued that way against the haters. That sorta says something... not even a part of the charity action is being done for superficial reasons, and it isn't going to stop.
And sorry furries, but I can't think of any charity work that furries have done to begin with (but I would love to be proven wrong).
Upgrading FA, and helping other furries, doesn't count.
