What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thread)

And there was already a charity for that.

You're also forgetting the smile charity, bronies for good, humble brony bundle, and numerous other charities.

All the brony-run charity organizations in the world don't change the fact that they're putting 320-SOMETHING GRAND into making a documentary about some 2-year-old internet subculture obsessed with a show originally designed to sell toys to little girls.

And I'm not even going to get into the absurdity of this whole island idea.

I'm just saying that this is an absurdly insane waste of money. What's even more mind-boggling is that the average donation was well over $100...

Have you people got nothing better to throw your money at?

Also woot thread hit 300 pages!

It's still a better use of money than the bush tax breaks.

Making it a FAR better use of money than Obamacare.

Malicious jokes aside, I guess all of brony-kind is just rich suburban kids with access to Paypal. They have a lot of money and no reason to spend it elsewhere.

Note that being in a fandom is not an act of community service, it's out of entertainment. Why wouldn't they want to spend money on something they want to see? That's the entire idea.

The charity things are the strange thing. They are in no part why there is a brony fandom at all. They are an awesome and proud byproduct.

Often times when you bring up just how MUCH money the fandom is raising to charities it tends to raise a eyebrow, but yes you are right the charities are a mear byproduct.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

It's a result of the 'love and tolerate' policy of us Bronies xD
But yeah we wouldn't have raised nearly as much if we were fans of a different show. It's amazing what simple values can achieve sometimes.

The sad thing is with the humble bundle and such it's beginning to piss people off how much money we're raising.
..That's kinda sad.

It gets worse – bronies are scamming the system. See, the Humble Bundle works by giving away a bonus game to anyone who pays above the average price. At the moment the average price is just $7.50 or thereabouts. That’s not much to you and me, but to your average brony, eternally unemployed, welfare cheques merely covering their fructose drink addiction, $7.50 is a lot of money, at least 4 bottles of Mountain Dew. So they all have to pool their loose change together and donate it in one go, to get over the average and acquire a copy of Bastian. The one copy of these DRM free games they purchase is then put on the brony web server, alongside child porn and pirated episodes of their rainbow unicorn cartoon. From here it’s distributed to all the other bronies. I don’t know how vast they are in number exactly, but I think it’s fair to assume that the $3000 they raised can be divided equally amoung the ~2,100 followers on their twitter account. I know they have more followers but I’ve deducted the innocent spambots and follow-backers among the bronies, brony enablers, and brony sympathisers. So that brings in an average donation of $1.43. As is said before, pocket change.
Because of bronies, the terrorists have already won.

They get progressively darker and often times something too foul to be for bathroom graffiti, often times spewing forth paranoia that we're a bunch of mafia style con artists hacking into people's accounts and stealing their money or some garbage.


The short version of all the garbage being spewed forth from the corners of the internet would be, "bronies are scum for donating money to charities"

I spent 150 dollars Kickstarting Shadowrun, and we raised like... 1.8 million dollars. I guess that would make me satan! D:

And Notch raised $12k by himself. I guess that would make him General Mao Zedong, and yes he does watch the show.

Whilst reading that quote, all I comprehended was "Blah blah bronies suck and are all fags and should die blah blah I'm gonna use my fancy mathematics to confuse you blah blah.

He does?

Pinkie's level 3 attack is she turns into pinkamena and hugs you to death.

 

[lostcat461]

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

Because that is what mlp needs, more death matches.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

They don't die though.
Although someone suggested that Pinkie's level three attack was for her to bake the opponent into cupcakes. That idea was shot down immediately.

Speaking of mlp video games I'm surprised that bronies have this many projects going on AND that they're not all just going belly up. Other fandoms I've seen this sort of behavior taking place, but the vast majority of them die halfway through.
