My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Fun fact: There is an annoying/obligatory/trolling MLP thread on just about every forum anywhere now.

Fun fact: Nobody seems to have a bigger problem with this thread than you. Maybe, if that is you in your avatar, this is how you work out the anguish that naturally stems from being the mutant love child of Burton Guster and Steve Urkel but it just strikes me as particularily ironic given your current status update.

Maybe I'm just being a bitch but people are being really mean online today. S'bringin' me down. :( Yesterday at 6:09 PM

Is it that people are mean to you so you have to be mean to somebody else or is it that you really do lack any sense of irony?
 
Hay gais let's start a flame war

Most MLP threads end in one anyway.

Well that escalated quickly.

No, this is not me, it is the "Super Saiyans are real" Kid, from a popular video that surfaced a while back.


If I really have come off as someone who "hates this thread more than anyone else", I will kindly leave. However I don't really see how saying that judging a TV show after 1 episode is fair and that there is alot of revolting fetish porn gives off that impression.

I have never said any of the generic "You people are damaged/need to grow up/it's for little girls/blah blah blah", (At least I don't believe so), so I don't see how I am the biggest "problem" on this thread where many others have claimed those very things.

Do I have a problem with this thread itself? Slightly. But not because of the people trying to enjoy it, I'm simply annoyed by (as stated in my earlier point) that seemingly everywhere you go there is something to do with this show when I know that there are multiple fansites entirely dedicated to this fandom.
 
This is my opinion

LMFAO that is so disturbing. Yeah that's pretty much what I envisioned when the idea of bronies was new to me. That and a weird pedophile conspiracy where grown men use their common interest in MLP with little girls at a playground and well...you know where this whole thing is going. It's a horrible possibility that would tarnish the integrity of the show and further perpetuate the creepy stereotypes put on men who watch the show.

Honestly though, I don't see what the big deal is. It's just a good show at its core, nothing to go too crazy about, but I do believe the brony movement can easily be used to force some false sense of individuality. Like wanting to stand out and make a statement, meanwhile there's a dude like me who sees the show's merits, but could care less about collecting figurines or flaunting my fandom with t-shirts and other penepherlia (sp?). Besides, everything I wear is black anyway lol.

It was evident enough that you had some problem with the thread itself as opposed to the show itself though I will grant you that I could see how it might be annoying. I think the reason you see threads popping up everywhere though as opposed to all remaining endemic to dedicated, hardcore fandom sites is that the people who make these threads everywhere both still have other interests and have enough self awareness to know that the hardcore superfans are scary and would naturally want to stay away from them. I really empathised with the guys in "confessions of a superhero", that doesn't mean I'd wanna hang out with the crazy bastards. My thoughts anyhow. At any rate they're probably not ready to commit to a community that has entire sub forums dedicated to pony fashion. That probably doesn't serve to make it any less obnoxious for you, but maybe it will make it a little more understandable.

However I don't really see how saying that judging a TV show after 1 episode is fair and that there is alot of revolting fetish porn gives off that impression.
Well I'm curious. In your mind can you separate the actual show and the average fan from the fetish porn? Or is it always there like the elephant in the room?

And sorry, I'm an asshole sometimes, but never so much I can't own up to it.

Yeah I honestly don't care what someone does to be happy. Anything that's fun for them should be respected as long as it doesn't harm others imo
 
You got grown ass men talking about plowing fictional ponies an shit. Nah I'm cool I don't think I'll be going anywhere near that shit.
That's just sick. It's one thing to fantasize about fictional HUMAN characters, yes but fictional ANIMAL characters? That's Bestiality.
 
Fictional anything is all the same man.

Also all of you, both fans and non fans, are dumb.

People looking at child porn doesn't harm you, but it's illegal.
Yes, that IS illegal indeed, but who says that the legality of any practice pertains to its moral/immoral value? Pharmacutecal companies pump out drugs that usually hinder people more than they cure them because they only attack the symptoms, not the causes--and yet that's legal.

I find child porn sickening of course, but people looking at child porn still doesn't harm YOU so why should you care? Unless of course it was your own kids or kids that you actually knew of irl.

Once again, as long as these pedophiles are only looking at the stuff and not actually raping children, that takes a little weight off the issue. The core issue is more on the sickos who are snapping those shots of naked little children, THEY're the ones doing the real harm. They're the ones robbing them of their innocense and immortalizing the very image of that robbery for other sickos around the world to see.

It goes back to bestiality. The issue are the perverts capturing animals in the act to record them out of their own sick pleasure, or even worse when humans are involved in the act and *eww I'll stop right there*---sure you can judge the hell out of the people who stumble upon that kind of pornography and enjoy it, but that's just attacking the symptom rather than curing the cause. The cause being of course the sickos who provide it.

What's my point? You're still not the kid getting molested.

At the end of the day, there are too many things happening around the world for any of us to really control or have the capacity to care about. We all have our own concerns, so to add onto them by concerning ourselves with what other people do with their time is just a waste of your time in itself.
 
Ya...... reacting to the knowledge that a kid did in fact get molested or raped is TOTALLY different than reacting to someone with child porn on their hard drive.

Totally different levels of crazy going on there
 
You're ignoring the obvious, which is that it may not harm us, but it certainly harms the kid getting molested.

No, I'm not. I fully acknowledged that fact. It's unfortunate, but what can you fucking do? At best, you can report child porn sites to Cyber Tip to at least stop the distribution, but that doesn't stop hundreds of uncontrolled instances where the molestation is kept private.

We are only so limited with what we can interact with in our daily lives. It's hard to care about anything completely outside of you especially when most of it is out of your control.

This is one of the main reasons why I hate when people watch the news for the shock value and to feel sorry for situations they have no part of--it's self avoidance.

ALSO: why in the fuck did an MLP thread become so philosophical? The show has its own share of philosophical significance, but not of this magnitude.
 
I know and that's unfortunate. But what can you fucking do? At best, you can report child porn sites to Cyber Tip to at least stop the distribution, but that doesn't stop hundreds of uncontrolled instances. Much like the starving kids in Africa. What the hell can you possibly do about it other than donate money hoping to God that the money even gets to them. Who knows if those charities are simply just taking the money for themselves?!

Because you brought up Rule 34. Plus philosophical discussion is fun. :3

What I'm getting from this post is that you have this "It's not harming you so why should you care" philosophy simply because you can't stop what's happening. Now, I pose this question. If you were able to stop all of those kids getting molested forever, would you? I mean, why should you care, right? It doesn't harm you.

Since you answered "yes I would" (I CAN SEE INTO YOUR SOUL!) That renders your "INHYSWSYC" argument moot, since it is so heavily influenced by situation. Now, since you obviously oppose this behaviour, why can't I or someone else oppose another?

Ah you make a good argument. Anyone (with any shred of common decency) would initially say "yes I would." But I don't buy into hypotheticals unless I was provided a plausible way in which I COULD realistically stop the numerous molestations.

And don't think that I don't oppose of other people's behaviours, but I've wasted too much of my time trying to change other people to be bothered with fixating on it anymore. The only person I truly have control over is my self so that's who I choose to concern my self with whose behaviours to mould. Unless I'm invited by someone outside of me to help change their ways, I stay OUT of their way.
