[QUOTE=~Myst;35459426]For some reason I doubt you've ever watched it.[/QUOTE]
No, it really is awful. The voice acting is *SQUEEEEHELIUM*. The animation is not as great as you think it is, it truly isn't. It's plots are like every kids show ever, the only thing that makes it different from other kids shows, is nothing.
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;35459460]My roommate made me watch some of it.
I felt like it was giving me diabetes from all the high pitched voices and friendship.[/QUOTE]
Then that's your opinion. If you don't condone any of it, then what's the point your trying to make?

None, I'm just expressing my opinion and explaining why people would feel that way about the show. Some Bronies, not all of them, but a good, vocal minority at the very least are INCREDIBLY annoying. Case in point, my roommate, who is 21 years old and tried licking my ear once. To imagine that Gabe Newell is associated with someone like that, could piss off a few highly opinionated people.
He did ask why, afterall.

I don't see how that's a bad thing v:v:v
But whatever, at least you gave it a try. That's cool of you.

I can say with certainty that ear licking has nothing to do with being a fan of My Little Pony.

... what?
It's every other kid's show I've ever seen people.
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;35459572]I can say with certainty that ear licking has nothing to do with being a fan of My Little Pony.[/QUOTE]
Of course, and I don't mean to imply that. However, you can see how people could begin to hate the show just because a lot of the fans do act this way. Not that all of them do, but a lot of them do.
Generalization and whatnot, you can't get rid of it.
Edit:
I'm seriously not calling everyone who watches the show an ear licking freak, just thought I'd point that out.
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;35459300]I've seen it be orange yet the light in the surrounding area is still unmistakably blue, so that's mostly what I'm basing this off of. But fuck it, I'm probably color blind, what the fuck do I know?

[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;35459276]Read some comments on the YouTube video with the specific snippet where he says it.
People are uninstalling Steam because of this.
Hundreds of dollars. Gone in seconds. Because someone watches a TV show.

Once a war has started, the issues that started it don't matter anymore, it's all about hating the other side.
I'm about as anti-brony as they come and even I think this is way out of hand.

It's hilarious that anyone would call this a war.
This is more like a playground fight.

While I disagree, really it only matters if the people involved [i]think[/i] it's a war, and they do.
Honestly this is closer to a boycott than anything. They're just deleting Steam games and not buying anymore, which seems like a boycott to me. If they storm Valve headquarters maybe I'll reconsider.
bronies are gay
mlp is gay
face it

This on its own is not a war, this is just a boycott, some raging, and some trolling, all of which will be considered acts of war, but this mess as a whole is a war. It's a new kind of war, a cyber-psychological-gang-war, but it is a war.
Boycotts because Gabe is a brony? Oh wow if you're that dumb then you don't deserve to use a great service that is steam.
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;35459398]It's a really, [I]really[/I] bad show.
Not that I condone any of this, but it seriously is a terrible show.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, all this insanity aside, it has to be the crappiest cartoon I've ever seen.

War
war never changes
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35460370]Boycotts because Gabe is a brony?

Remember the how successful the MW2 Boycott was, and the L4D2 one, and the ME3 one. My guess by the time the next Valve game comes out almost everyone will have forgotten about this hiccup and buy the game anyway.

It's not exactly a show for everyone.[/QUOTE]
It can't be worse than spongebob, can it?

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;35460626]It can't be worse than spongebob, can it?[/QUOTE]
It can, and is. I can list how and why if you want.
[QUOTE=Natrox;35460653]> comparing spongebob to this unholy gay piece of shit cartoon[/QUOTE]
I have a feeling you've never watched it and are basing that entirely on the fanbase.
Spongebob sucks as of now, most facepunchers can agree with that.

I've seen mlp and I can say that it's worse than spongebob unless you're 5 year old girl.

Hey look an autism joke, that's totally original.
The moral of the story is that the only person who can both be a brony and cool is Gabe and nobody else
it always comes back to spongebob

this is like the only thing you've really in these threads to everybody, even when it was apparent they've given it a chance. find some other points to talk on, even some of the really angry people have 'watched' and still don't care.
this thread has had its run, it's just turning to autism insults and offtopic nonsense. Closing it up, find that steam chat link I posted if you wanna keep at it
