I concur. That arguement won't fly here, though. In an atmosphere of hostility and misunderstanding, Other-GAF will always look to the scapegoats wine confronted with something they don't understand. I know first hand. I had a front row seat to the burning of Rock Band GAF. They were much more insular than Pony GAF and somewhat arrogant, but they fell nonetheless.Negator said:

Why should we try to justify our hobbies to those who have no interest in understanding.
So long as we don't piss off mods enough to get the thread locked, I personally don't care what the rest of GAF thinks.

This was a while ago but IIRC, it had something to do with Rock Band news being buried in that giant OT instead of someone making a new thread. I don't remember the exact details but it got real bad real fast.
I wasnt attempting to justify that argument, but I feel that's what the rest of GAF expects. We certainly don't need to strain ourselves to provide it, but expect the rest of GAF to continue going over the whole community witha fine toothed comb to find their justification.Pankaks said:

you may reply with hipsters on computers but I know the truth. You're clearly doing wrong.
Who isn't doing wrong here? How do I know Pandaman isn't looking up ponies right now off of FA.
or DRAWINGS THEM.
There's that level of wrong and reasonable pony cartoon and buddy boys you just hop skipped and jumped right over that line.

not at all... MLP is anthropomorphizing ponies. in other words, giving human qualities to ponies. Furries on the other hand... um i dont think there are enough ways to properly express my hatred for anyone who wishes they were an animal and "yiffs". It is certainly not the same type of characterization at all.
Uchip said:
However, it's probabaly the same as any community, the minority ruins the appearance of the majority.
Football fans and football hooligans.
Religious groups and extremists.
Furries and furverts.
Anime fans and those crazy sailor moon cosplays.
Just like you see lots of bad reviews on the internet from customers, you only hear about the seedy parts of the internet.

Forgive me If I seem to be missing your point but what is the rest of GAF trying to justify? That this thread is a terrible terrible thing that deserves to be locked? Or are they looking for a reason as to why we like the show?
Because if it's the former, I think we've had plenty of that. I wasn't here when the thread first started but looking back at the first couple of pages it would seem that there was a massive amount of trolling and hate towards the show. Hell, the thread was so badly derailed at some points I'm surprised it wasn't locked right then and there, and yet it's still alive.
If it's the latter, they're free to stop by the thread and ask questions. We're not as hostile and insular as other communities so I don't see that being a problem.

Oh come on don't be that way.
I'm sorry about the YuGiOh Pony

Actually...didn't someone post a pic of the Yugioh cast ponified and G-Fex was all over it? Or did I misremember? Maybe it was the wrong style.

I was always under the assumption that G-Fex got offended by some people saying his Yu-Gi-Oh gimmick was tired/annoying or whatever thus leading to an incredibly forced heel turn.

Anyways, G-Fex could you explain how PonyGAF back stabbed you again? Anything to do with Yugioh ponies?

Why do I enjoy depressed Pinkie Pie so much?
Regardless, that .gif is very accurate. WTF has been going on in here lately? I do a good job of keeping up with everything and I still can't make sense of it.

No worse than the ostrich hammer. They're just having fun with the community. It'd be like being upset over the Lundgren vs Unicorn commercial.
