[QUOTE=Ridge;35434501]Sooo.... You're saying that grown men liking this is weird: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/07MHE.jpg[/IMG] ...but the same people liking this is normal? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IX5Fc.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Spongebob was part of peoples childhoods, my little pony isn't.
wow this is what I get for taking an hour nap [QUOTE=~Myst;35433672]Wonder what Dai is going to say about all this.[/QUOTE] that I love the fact anybody's making a deal out of this you idiots throwing shitfits about how terrible it is make yourself look even spergier than the idiots you're going on about. [QUOTE=salty peanut v2;35433949]hey guys the key word is 'secretly' that's your cue to stop giving a shit[/QUOTE] thank you
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35434463]Gee I wonder why. [IMG]http://s15.postimage.org/43d64djrv/bronies.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] So a bunch of nerds who like ponies decided to meet up somewhere. What exactly is the issue?
[QUOTE=Cructo;35434488]Oh look, a brony meet up. It's automatically worse than every other meet-up because they like ponies.[/QUOTE] Yeah, actually. It's just that extra bit pathetic.
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35434468]Bronies need to realise that if they just stopped using pony avatars and names and things and going and posting about it everywhere, it would all just stop. Both sides are at fault, bronies overreact to the show and don't realise that its just a damn show, and severe anti-bronies seek them out to argue with. I just don't want to see pony avatars and pictures and references every god damn time i play a game and use the internet. It's getting REALLY damn overdone now. I'm really starting to get tired of all of this shit now. Even my friends are bronies, which I don't care, it's still kind of weird to like a kids show but its not my business, I'm sure I do things they'd consider weird too, but the difference is, I keep it to myself, they always set their Steam and Skype avatars to pony avatars, they CONSTANTLY make pony references and I'm REALLY getting fucking tired of it.[/QUOTE] I don't see how a pony alias and avatar is worse than say, an adventure time name and avatar, for some reason it only seems to be targeted at the ponies. Spongebob avatar? That's fine. Pony avatar? Holy fuck shits are going to be flipped!!!
[QUOTE=Zadrave;35434499]It's funny because it's the only picture I've ever seen to defend themselves with.[/QUOTE] Oh there's plenty, mate, there is fucking plenty.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35434525]Yeah, actually. It's just that extra bit pathetic.[/QUOTE] Because we don't see anime conventions or even video game conventions ever
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin]Gee I wonder why. -image-[/QUOTE] So now we're hating people because of their physical appearance? There's a difference between disliking something and irrationally going out of your way to belittle and hate anyone who doesn't share your opinion. [editline]ok look[/editline] Okay look, I get it, you don't like it, that's good. I'm not a fan either, but as a mature and rational human being I can deal with others liking things I don't, and if they 'shove it in my face' I can always ignore them. That's it. It's not complicated.

That's fine. Pony avatar? Holy fuck shits are going to be flipped!!![/QUOTE] There's a big difference, I don't see references to Adventure Time every god damn time I log on to any multiplayer game or forum. Believe me, if there were as many people doing that kind of shit for Adventure Time, I'd be saying the same damn thing.

Holy fuck shits are going to be flipped!!![/QUOTE] Except you really need to have your head in sand to not realise how much of a cult bronies are making this stupid show out to be. It's obsessive, and they don't shut the fuck up about it. It is EVERYWHERE. People are just sick of seeing annoying things shoved down their throat. So that's why people flip shit, because of how horrible bronies are. And what's with the name bronies, what kind of collective bullshit is that. You literally give yourself a title of a group about a show. It's disgusting.

Well, I'm off. This is obviously turning into an argument thread. Have fun throwing jarate at each-other, I'm out.
[QUOTE=Cructo;35434553]Can you provide some reasoning for that Because it doesn't look any different from other fandom meet-ups except for ponies[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's kind of the point, ponies. If it was a dora the explorer meet up, then it'd be pretty much the exact same thing. You know what, I lie, probably not, because there isn't this obsessive fandom over it .
i hate bronies: the people who cannot shut up about the show and wont stop quoting it and posting videos related to it ever i also hate weeaboos who do the same thing, same case with furries however, i dont hatethe ones who keep it to themselves, private conversations, and related areas
wow gabe likes a show i dont like uninstalling steam and writing a rant about this in the youtube comments!!
Meh, as long as he doesn't throw MLP everywhere, I don't give a fuck.

You know just as well as I do how obsessive and how often they try to shove this shit down our throats. It's gotten so bad that I see this massive persecution complex everywhere.

Believe me, if there were as many people doing that kind of shit for Adventure Time, I'd be saying the same damn thing.[/QUOTE] You and I both know that's an over-exaggeration, and these pony references and usually only made when you go to places that were specifically made for ponies/bronies. For example I've played TF2 plenty of times and stumpled accross a fellow brony and no references were made, alberit he had his TF2 spray set as ponies but honestly, the whole arguement of "They're always making references" is an exaggeration, and it isn't exactly something you can't ignore. There's always a mute function to mics and it isn't hard to not pay attention to chat.

It's just that bronies and their ilk elect to never shut the fuck up about it. And then the persecution kicks in, and it just goes on and on.

Literally EVERY single encounter, and I'm sick of seeing them, with a brony is this 4chan style attitude of just quoting memes and when called out on it, they generate into this typical defence mode about in a list of ways that they follow fucking verbatim. He is not exaggerating in the SLIGHTEST, he is full fucking on about it.

Hell no, every time I log on to FP in any thread there is someone with a pony avatar, any time I join a game, especially TF2, there are at least 2 people with pony names/avatars/sprays, it happens consistently, and don't lie to yourself that it doesn't.

There it can become it's own copypasta and "my name is john copypasta bullshit".

[QUOTE=Juniez;35434655]they're just avatars man[/QUOTE] So? Doesn't mean I want to see them all the god damn time.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35434595]Yeah, don't turn into some sort of moral crusader because I made fun of shitheads like them.

[QUOTE=Juniez;35434655]they're just avatars man[/QUOTE] Yeah, but this near cultist style fandom is kinda troubling and not to mention it's annoying.
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35434663]So? Doesn't mean I want to see them all the god damn time.[/QUOTE] I don't want to see cat avatars all the time. [I]It totally affects my personal experience of Facepunch every time I see one.[/I]
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35434663]So? Doesn't mean I want to see them all the god damn time.[/QUOTE] Noone is making you sit there staring at the avatars, just scroll and ignore.

[QUOTE=kill3r;35434669]Oh no....people had a meetup with eachother because they shared the same opinion on the TV show...they must REALLY be shitheads because of this.[/QUOTE] He's not saying they're shitheads because they like the show, he's saying they're shitheads because, well, I mean, look at them, I'd say they're shitheads if they were at a convention about literally everything I like. At least, if I'm understanding him right. I'm not really going to take the time to read all his posts, I'm just inferring.
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35434663]So? Doesn't mean I want to see them all the god damn time.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry you don't want to see pony avatars, but I don't see why they should have to get rid of them.
