I think the lesson here, theres all sorts of terrible people

1. You all in this thread, you're all terrible people.

2. Those guys in those videos are terrible too just as bad as the people who go to comic-con

4. I'd like to think the bronies on this forum aren't as bad as those people.

Even me? You're gonna make me cry.
 
I actually can kind of see how Sonic is liked by Conservatives, more so than My Little Pony.

Sonic is pretty much the Independent American stereotype...red/white/blue, independent, "cool", and with a "strong sense of justice" and doesn't bow down to anyone. He's how most Conservatives see themselves, battling against the evils of modern society and liberal scientists (i.e. Doctor Robotnik).

Only thing that isn't conservative about Sonic is his dislike of guns.
 
Still, one is active discrimination vs. some internet nerds getting their feelings hurt because another nerd told them they were little girls. Nothing the haters do will actually stop the bronies from... enjoying whatever they do.
I don't think this is true at all. How can being told by everyone around you that you're a freak/weirdo/animal-fucker/pedo/less of a man for enjoying something not have an impact on your enjoyment of that thing? And if it somehow doesn't affect how bronies do their brony things, then it's still bound to have effects elsewhere.

This is a thing. It's called bullying.
 
i dont get the signifigance of this. like at all. what the hell is this supposed to convey?

Read the comments, especially the part that's underlined in bright red.

So are you the sort of terrible person that can't count?

Or the kind that judges people for judging people?

i read that, but you had to convey a fictional creature in that to make the horror really come out to you? why? if you know its a fucked up scene, what does adding a fictional beast to it bring to the overall horror of it?

You're in too deep. I can't even differentiate you from the rest of those freaks. I shouldn't have sent you, I should've gone in myself. This is all my fault. I'm sorry, but I have to end it here.

*Cocks pistol with a tear in his eye*
 
To be fair that's not really MLP's fault, that's just the Deviant Art effect

DeviantArt really contains a lot of these things? Wow okay I can see why they'd call it DeviantArt.

Also I'm going to bed. I expect to wake up to 6.5 men and a peanut butter jar furiously masturbating over me. Good night.

It is why I am very careful about what I post. I know I"m terrible. I even decided to not fix the typo I made in the last sentence.

Also I just came back to this thread to see the Pony put in that photograph. Holy cow @ the comment. I honestly consider it accidental genius that you can bait such an unironic response just by putting Rainbow Dash in a tragic photograph.

It has more to do with the fact that it allows very adult pieces of art (as in actual nude photographs), but yeah there's a lot of crazy fanart on there too.
 
Not really. They are similar in the sense that both groups get all worked up over stuff that doesn't affect them.

People who like My Little Pony are not being disowned by their parents or getting fired from their jobs for liking My Little Pony. That's a terrible connection.
 
The gays surrounded me. Leather jackets, probably brand name with a high price tag, adorned to them like gang apparel. They circled me, punching their fists together and snapping their fingers in unison.

The leader breaks from the crowd and comes my way, two stepping in a hunched position.

"Sharks," he chants, rhythmically.

I fall to the ground and wrap my pony tail belt around my head, hoping to be shielded from their attacks.

They pull out a switchcomb and begin to groom me.

The comparison that Billiechu made was made between anti-gay people and the anti-MLP people, not between gays and MLP fans. The reason for this, as explained, is both get upset about things that have no effect on them.

You should feel badly about your inability to understand simple English and propensity for posting shitty gifs. Very badly.

Well, maybe not too badly because you're apparently not alone in your poor comprehension skills.

An analogy works because the two things being compared are similar in some respects and dissimilar in others. Not every analogy means to imply that the two things being compared are similar in scope or importance; that could be one of the things they differ on.

If people would realize this, our discourse could significantly improve.
 
I can't believe someone actually made this parallel.

If I would say this to a gay friend of mine he would probably whop my ass for comparing him to a brony.

You should reread what he said. You apparently understood it very poorly.

Either that or you're implying your gay friend is stupid... I doubt that was your intent though.
 
that doesn't change the fact that the show itself has no specific gender target, which was my original argument.

Nah, MLP is clearly targeted at little girls. It's OK to admit that, even on GAF.

I've watched about 6 eps (via Netflix) with my 4yo daughter by now. It's a show for young girls. Sure, MLP is better than the average young girl/kid cartoon, but it's still a show targeted for them.

So in what respects are they similair? I mean we are talking about the OP here right?
So how is thinking some grown up guys getting all gitty in the girls toy section is rather disturbing (but not denying them the right to do so) similair to wanting to deny same-sex couples the right to marry?
 
I don't like ponies and I kind of wish the fad would fade, but I can't believe people let a fandom affect them so much. OMGZ your existence affects me because you enjoy a TV show that might not be targeted at you.
