Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
You're basically saying that me not liking MLP is because of my personal views on masculinity. You don't even know my views on masculinity. To assume that this is the reason I hate MLP is childish, foolish, ignorant, and pretentious. It is the swift resorting to this logic that stops people taking MLP fans seriously. They clearly have not stopped to think about a single part of this.
MLP seeps into every little thing, and it is present on every single website where it was never present before, and a number of its fans have a reputation of being completely unbearable, due to their massive love for their favourite thing, alike to the Twilight and Bieber fans of old, yet it is still somehow different. MLP is hated by most because it is viewed as an infection spreading across the world wide web. It grows, it spreads, and then it engulfs, whether it's wanted or not. MLP is a disease, and it is everywhere. It is known as equine cancer.
Many websites and forums have been engulfed by equine cancer. Fansites for other subjects are usually safe, but general discussion/video/image sharing websites are not, and these are typically inhabited by "haters". Each of these websites has a certain demographic, the community within it has a certain core personality to it. MLP inevitably seeps into the community, and a number of its members are turned. They may also infect others within the community.
The infection involves the changing of part of the community (usually changing them into fucking annoying fantards who don't know how to keep something to themselves, but exceptions exist). Frequently, the community experiences a divide. The divisions of the community feel a lot of tension between each other, and this results in a multitude of clashes, which often ends with reducing the community's size and activity, on both sides. Members get banned due to things said and done admist this tension, and members choose to leave due to the tension, or the abscence of other members, or their sheer exhaustion with the other side's actions and existence.
Simply put, equine cancer destroys.
Yet there is no curing equine cancer, and it can only ever be slowed or contained. The only way to "kill" equine cancer is to remove the infected. This is why mods encourage pro-MLP chatter to be confined to this thread under the threat of mod action, as a preventative measure. Even the notorious 4chan took the same thing to combat the disease.
People who you view as haters of MLP, in truth, really do not care about the show. They don't care that you like the show. Many of them believe in "to each their own" but the problem is that the majority of those infected with equine cancer go against the concept of "to each their own" both directly and indirectly. They persuade people to watch the show either directly or indirectly, and they frequently make their show have a very strong precense in the community, intentionally or not. This is done by the extremely frequent and consistent uploading of MLP fanmade content, crossovers, (unfunny) memes, avatars, signatures, sharing, discussing, quoting, and references of all kinds.
People hate MLP because no matter the circumstance, those uninterested are in one way or another forced to put up with its existence. Bieber, Twilight, and Star Trek are easy to deal with, because unlike MLP, they are not present in every site, media, place, or thread. It follows them wherever they go, and they are pratically forced into a corner where the most they can do is lash out at the fans to "shut the fuck up already". They are then paraded around and laughed at by the MLP fans as "meen haturz who must learn to luv and tolerate, luks like somebody needz to rite a letter to princess celestia".
