Re: What Is Wrong With Ponies?
A lot of bronies have this habit of shoving their fandom into everything. Or mentioning their fandom everywhere.
(The following is to bronies in general not just to OP)
Don't do that. Don't be that guy.
I'm cool with you liking ponies. Sure. I have no problem with the new gen (except the fact the FiM toyline is completely hideous and look like low quality production line work in comparison to G3's toys when it comes to details, and since that garbage is so popular now I'll have to wait ages for it to go back to that kind of quality. If it ever does). But no one cares you like ponies. Just like no one cares I like Viva Pinata and Mega Man. You don't gotta remind us by posting references to ponies everywhere. You can like something and at the same time not make it take over every aspect of your life.
Most other fandoms seem to be able to sit and do their own thing without drawing excess attention to themselves. Or by running into something and putting references to ponies everywhere. We have a pony fanclub for the pony stuff. No need to let it bleed into everywhere else on the forums. If people don't like ponies let them be themselves and talk about things without referencing ponies. Don't be such a big nuisance.

Don't mind ponies, only the 99% majority of "bronies".

Snowy don't be such a narcissist I'd completely forgotten you're one of the bronies when I was writing that.

Though I must admit, the MLP fandom used to be SO. ANNOYING. Right now, the anime fandoms are worse though. The titan and gay swimming anime are really getting on my nerves now.
I also have to admit I now understand why people don't like the Homestuck fandom, because they tend to relate posts with their fandom as well, but not this bad. I can barely go past a post with people bigger than others or posts with a rainbow.

Bronies do not put all their fandom into everything, they are more just being themselves ;)

Just as with any fandom, there are those who do that and those who don't. Unfortunately, it seems like the MLP fandom is extremely prevalent with this.

Every fandom has individuals who take it to an obsessive level and make a nuisance of themselves in the process, and every fandom has haters who take it to an obsessive level and make a nuisance of themselves in the process.
My Little Pony, or more specific, Friendship is Magic seems to have more than its fair share of both.
That said, one should not be afraid to let their fandoms show through in regular conversation, but they should avoid letting it dominate to the point that no one outside of the fandom can comprehend their posts, and at the same time, no one should jump down someones throat for the slightest mention of a fandom they disliike.
Also, is it just me, or have we had this same discussion everal times in the past without it having any impact of the status quo?
For what it is worth, I like Friendship is Magic, but that is pretty much par for the course considering that Mahou Shoujo is one of my favorite genres of fiction.

Yes, that is true indeed but sadly people are sometimes very mean about MLP. Like for instance the Virtual Party was locked by Crash after I poseted a pic of my MLP toy :(

Re: What Is Wrong With Ponies?
People hate bronies and will find any reason they can to make them seem worse then they really are. We're not the only ones to ever have the habit of shoving our fandom into everything. Or mention our fandoms, these are just bad obnoxious fans of ourselves.
I mean, there's a lot of bleeding of other fandoms here on Chao Island. Other games is full of these sorts of people on this forum, who unlike bronies never had to be told to keep it in their own clubs. Not to mention "Gasp!" How awful it was that some of our fans were even attracted to ponies too? Why, it's almost as if suddenly any other fandom that's attracted to video game characters or anime characters are perfectly okay getting horny off of drawings.
I'm not saying either is okay, I'm just bringing up the difference.
The only reason the fandom ever got so popular is because of all the hate it got back when it first started, and you know the old saying. No such thing as bad publicity, and from that we had the fandom. Sure we have a lot of obnoxious fans, but there are obnoxious fans everywhere. We're only ever so different because no one can ever get over the fact we like to watch a cartoon show who's original target audience was meant for younger girls.
I agree with Jefferey, we have had this same discussion. We're only explaining it for any new people that this might be a new thing to.

Re: What Is Wrong With Ponies?
guys lets be real here you know theres a problem when a fandom feels like they deserve a goddamn documentary
Capitalism Killed My Once Proud Signature
Re: What Is Wrong With Ponies?
A terribly ****** documentary I'll have you know.
Still, there are too many different kind of fans in any community. Maybe this time around the crazies outnumber the sane for the bronies.

The main fandom I hate is the Tumblr Superwholock fandom. I despise them because they think they own Tumblr and it gets incredibly annoying after a while.
The MLP fandom... I don't have any strong feelings towards them.

Re: What Is Wrong With Ponies?
The topic was pretty much a clusterbomb of spam and randomness. Party threads usually are. Plus they're neither a 'game' nor a 'chat'.
Not to mention the whole underage drinking jokes which, on most sites I frequent with members of younger ages, is a huge no-no.
