Better! But you're missing the nuances of subtlety and 'in' jokes. This was a clumsy stampede.Jenga said:
Now run along you little scamp!

It's so cute watching them grow up.

Eh, I was looking at both, couldn't decide which one was more relevant.Mechanical Snowman said:
So I'm contributing something to the thread, I find this fanbase very interesting. It's... I don't mean to sound pretentious, but it feels like it's at the forefront of something. The creator of the show is trying to break gender stereotypes by creating a good show that is primarily aimed at girls but can also appeal to boys. The straightforward nature of the show, along with high production values, attract an older fanbase. Thanks to the anonymity the internet provides and the ability to distribute the show, the fanbase is able to congregate and grow. This fanbase feels comfortable in enjoying the show because gender norms aren't as strictly enforced as they used to be; liking "pink stuff" isn't wrong, just different.
Well, at least within the more socially liberal circles.
Carry on.
Hey Foxix could you GIF up the section of this video at 7:14 till 7:17 and loop it for me???
with just the one pony it would be perfect GIF material

It amazes me that Jenga is still trolling here. Does he have nothing better to do in his free time than to troll a group of people enjoying something that's a little odd?
Just seems a bit sad to me. I mean I get the first bout, people like something you don't so you make fun of them, fair enough, you can do that if you like but to keep doing it over and over and over? Just seems like somepony ain't getting enough hugs

I was trying to pin down what Jenga's relation with Pony-GAF reminded me of, and I think I finally did it.
He's like our lovable but oh-so-grumpy pet!

Not sure if Foxix makes avatars from Youtube vids, so here:Arcipello said:Hey Foxix could you GIF up the section of this video at 7:14 till 7:17 and loop it for me???

I couldn't get her feet in without that annoying Transformers logo.

But the trolls are one of the best parts of the MLP fanbase! Who else would we use our POWER OF FRIENDSHIP image macros on?

In the past couple weeks I had to watch a pet slowly die. While I love other forms of entertainment such as horror and mma, I wanted something innocent and fun.NutJobJim said:
Usually I would go to Disney animated movies for this.
I kept on seeing this thread popping up at the top of OT so I was curious. I watched a couple episodes and dismissed it. But it kept on creeping back into my head. I watched more. Then I made a post here on GAF. The response was embracing and fun.
After that, I had an episode that I really enjoyed because it made me laugh. I asked for an avatar because of that episode. Foxix provided me with one. A short time later I get a PM from Foxix and an offer for an improved one. No asking. No requests. It just happened.
If that makes this thread freaky, so be it. I will happily don that mark. This thread is great.

You're welcomeArcipello said:brilliant! much appreciated
And Foxix I've been meaning to thank you for finding the source to my avatar, I keep remembering only after I've made a post. So rude of me, and thank you again.

Occasionally you get people posting rule 34 or the like, though, just to provoke a reaction.

Awww thanks.
You guys are so dang awesome it's not even funny. I assure you if it's possible to feel love through an ethernet cable it's happening right now.
I was taking a nap and missed Arcipello's post, and yeah as Mechanical Snowman noticed I don't have a really good means of converting youtube video's to gifs. If I had been awake I would have used http://benderconverter.com.
It's pretty nifty, I've tried converting youtube videos to just about every format and still imageready throws a hissy fit every time I try to import them. It's basically like gifsoup but less annoying and spits out gifs with much higher quality. Only issue is that they limit how many youtube videos you can convert to two a day. That and of course watermarks *shakesfist.*.

Pony gaf, i am disappointed. so quick are you to abandon the purity of your newfound moe~ when something unnerves you. where is the spine that held us together in the face of our earliest detractors? where is that courage and depth of spirit now?
i say to you, look not upon that image and see a pony and a man, the characters of MLP are not mere ponies. they are the encapsulation of ideal personhood and that is what draws us to them. Loving a MLP character is nothing so strange that we must hide it away in fear of being judged socially and having shame in their appearance betrays the very root of our love for them in the first place.
people do not love rainbow dash because she's a pony with a rainbow mane, they love her for the strength of her spirit and her character. we love applejack because of the honesty and down to earth goodness of her character, not because shes an orange pony with apple tattoos. it is the personality of these characters that is the true force of attraction and personality exists independent of physical appearance.
I am so disappointed, i thought others had discovered a new path to the true beauty of moe~, but it seems some of you really are just creepy and crass.

Ha I'm listening to American Boy and the DJ Pon-3 avatar is nodding to the beat.
No no no no no no no no no.
Don't do this.
I knew a girl who was in love with Optimus Prime, she drew art, stories, etc. Dinobot too.
She was a crying wreck by the time I gave her what for (scoulding her, not physical abuse)
DO NOT, DO NOT fuck up this for me.

To be fair... Prime is one hot stud of a bot.
there's such a thing as going too far in either direction!G-Fex said:
i support people who have waifus, but i don't think its healthy to buy bodypillows of them. >_>
also she obviously had other deep seated social problems that were causing her to act out and like dinobot.
