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

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

And yet, that is how most people see us. Weird, attention-depraved drama queens who prance around in rainbow-colored fursuits chanting 'FUR PRIDE!'. Whereas the fair few of us are a well-rounded, intelligent and insightful group of individuals which like being in the fandom, just for the sake of being apart of it. Sad, but true. =/

And good on Tara! It warms my heart to see stuff like this. (=3 How much money have they pooled at the moment?

That mentality is why I've been pretty chill as of late. I've come to realize that pretty much every fandom on average has half of their members that are normal people, another quarter are stereotypical nerds, and a half of that are people in it for porn, and the remaining are the stereotypical annoying nerds and even by their own members think should leave. So why think of any fandom as better than each other? For instance I doubt EVERY last CoD player is a stereotypical gamer who quits their job to play all day long. Getting in a pissing match of "well my fandom is better" is juvenile, cause there is no geek hierachy; every fandom is on the same level.
For instance I no longer hate bieber fans or even rebecca black for their fans. Cause even though there's plenty of bieber fans who are obsessed about him and don't understand how to spell words properly at least half of their fans are tolerable.
The ONLY fandom I hate anymore is the Twilight franchise(with vampires), due to the whole plot of the franchise being about pedophilia.


That's the brony fandom's paragon. Bronies set records when it comes to charity. Every fandom has good aspects to it. Such as how furries make really good costumes, or how scifi fans were able to get the serenity movie made through their own pockets, or how it's thanks to startrek we have cellphones.

Also, lol Felix Rainboom

Precisely. To compare fandoms against each other is like trying to compare chocolate and strawberry ice cream. A lot of people will prefer chocolate, and vice versa with strawberry. But in the end, it's just ice cream! The same can be said for all internet fandoms. Weeaboos, Furries, Bronies etc will always have their good and bad sides to them. But still.
The sad truth that we've probably already accepted, is that everyone is going to hate something you like. And preaching about it and spouting 'FURRY PRIDE!' or 'STAND UP, MY BRONIES!' will not help your situation at all. This is why we're hated half the time. It's the people who flip the fuck out when someone doesn't like what they like. But that's not to say you can't talk about it. Of course you can! Mention it in a conversation, ask your friends if they've heard about it, and so on and so forth. l=)

My point is that everyone is going to hate something you like. No sense in wasting time and shouting back at them, when you could be out doing what you love. =)

Ugh yeah. I have all three of the charity MLP albums, but the one song I can't stand is 'Proud to be one of the bronies'.
I mean, ugh.

Anyone seen this site: http://safeponi.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=all&pid=250

It's basically an e621 rip off for pony art.

To be fair though there is VERY little porn on that safeponi.com site.

So now everyone except my dad watches MLP. That's five people counting me...what have I done?

Does anyone use the site We Love Fine? I wanted to know if they're any good or not.
Also where are the best places to get shirts and stuff?

WeLoveFine is where most neckbearded spaghetti-spilling bronies get their apparel from.
I can't exactly say that the majority of the merchandise is tasteful in any sense, but there are some cool designs.

If you want, you can always get custom shirts from sites like vistaprint or something. Then you can really have whatever you want.

Welovefine has pretty much /all/ the decent pony merch in terms of clothing. They have bags too.
A lot of the designs I've seen are pretty cool, I'd love to have some.

Maybe she put metal in the microwave while making popcorn to watch a supernova and travelled back in time and accidentally killed one of her ancestors in a nuclear bomb test on a top secret air force base?

A fine deed.

Also Utorrent got ponied-

I'm not usually a fan of poops, but this dude is a fucking genius.
He actually managed to make Dusk's Dawn entertaining. I thought making Dane Cook funny was already pushing the boundaries of science and physical possibility, but this dude tosses the rules of humorical physics out the window.

That ending was nothing short of perfection.

You know an MLP poop is funny when a non-Brony is laughing breathlessly on the ground while clutching his sides in pain. XD

Hey anybody. I used to watch applesarcum/sweetsing (a popular mlp artist) on DA and he's left both DA and FA. Anybody know where else he posts?

So after 171 pages did you guys finally figure out what it is with all this "My Little Pony" stuff?

Eeyup.
A little bit of everything for a ton of people.
Good songs, smooth animation, upbeat plots, 90's style cartoon, likeable characters, well defined personality for characters that even the littlest quote people can instantly recognize who said it even if they haven't seen the episode, how the episodes have been getting even better and better, and how they have yet to disappoint the hype train yet.

And that's just the tv show.
As for the fanbase we pwn every other fanbase when it comes to charities, how fans are even starting to make their own fan episodes, fan video games, radio plays on top of what the average fanbase puts out. How unlike other fanbases it's alot easier to become popular through talent alone.
Oh did I mention the charity work already? We helped fund a children's orphanage and hospital in africa. As well as how Tara Strong is auctioning one of a kind artwork to help a child with cancer. We even beat notch in the humble indie bundle charity TWICE. It's a good feeling when some many people work together to do good for others.


Tl:dr; camaraderie is magic

Pretty much this.

I bet a lot of Bronies are afraid to look at the porn but then watch the show and secretly fap to it afterward in private.

I watched the show on YouTube -- it was okay.

But these die hard fans... There's another motivating factor at play.

You'd have to be pretty new to the internet to expect any fandom to not have porn. . . or just stupid.
Technically pokemon has the most porn of any fanbase, so using your logic pokemon fans are in it for the porn. . . as well as mass effect fans, as well as digimon fans, as well as star trek fans, as well as star wars fans, as well as dnd fans, as well as WoW fans, as well as sonic fans, as well as yu-gi-oh fans, as well as evangelion fans, as well as naruto fans, as well as minecraft fans, as well as fallout fans, as well as CoD fans, as well as halo fans. You get the point.

Nobody was talking about the whole MLP fanbase, just the really die hard fans.

(like the ones who post hundreds of pages about it)

Saliva asks why people like mlp -> CF answers why people like mlp -> Toshabi posts sarcastic comment about why people like mlp-> Ricky says the conversation wasn't about the mlp fanbase, just die hard fans.
brain.exe has performed illegal operation, press any key to reboot.

We were talking about why people like it. How did you jump the shark that much?

Well, OBVIOUSLY not every person who has ever watched MLP and liked it has porn stashed away.

That's just silly.

90's style cartoon

What?

I don't like MLP and even I have porn of it.

Of course, they're bipedal. I'm not that sick.

 

[CannonFodder]

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

What?

What I mean by that is the old style of cartoon plots in which the cartoon doesn't seem like a satire of a cartoon or treats the viewer like a moron, but rather has plot exposition and conflict in the episode that is resolved through believable plot resolution.

What I mean by that is the episodes do in fact have plots to them that are resolved, instead of how so many cartoons nowadays instead of solving the conflict through ridiculous deus ex machina.

Good! I'm proud of you =P

I'm convinced there are some MLP fans who don't care about the porn and just like the show.

That's not the overwhelming majority though and none of the die hard fans.

Of course, they're bipedal. I'm not that sick.

Stop rationalizing your fetishes :V

Er, slightly off topic from this convo but The Hub on FB just posted this:

Mayhaps we get an official release date for Season 3 tomorrow?
