Meh, I don't care, hell, shit tons of youtubers I watch are bronies.
Don't really give a damn that he's a brony, what I DO give a damn about is the fact that the more annoying bronies are gonna [I]eat this shit up.[/I] "SEE GABE IS A BRONY TAKE THAT HATERS!! XDDDDD" It's going to be terrible.

There's a point where you're such a good person nobody cares if you're a brony Gabe's way past that point. In before every CoD forum ever using this information forever. Also, wait until Best Gamers get a hold of this knowledge.
His personal taste in entertainment is irrelevant and he's more awesome than any of us will ever be.

I have no problem with bronies, unless they're fucking retarded and annoying about it. But I do find it quite funny picturing Gabe, a fairly large man, with an epic grey beard that makes games based around battles and puzzles sitting down watching a show like MLP.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35437212]*farty picture*[/QUOTE] so we're not allowed to dislike a tv-show?? also its not like the hate for MLP fans is unjustified
snip
I don't care if someone is into MLP unless they go on about it and dream of sexual thoughts But yknow, face punch gonna punch anyone who loves MLP regardless unless it's gabe Newell
he probably watches in with his kids he isn't really a brony since a brony is a annoying twat great interview overall, gabe is such a great man
As long as he isn't that kind of brony that slaps MLP shit in your face constantly (which I hardly doubt) he still has all of my respect.
Hey, if he likes a show, he likes a show. We all like something that other people find stupid. As long as he doesn't make a big deal out of it, like any person who likes a show, then 0/10 jimmies rustled.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35437212][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/I4aok.png?1[/IMG][/QUOTE] There's a sudden smell of hypocrisy in here.
I don't get this brony fad. It was intended for little girls and yet most of the fanbase is either neckbeard teens or creepy older men. I just don't get it.
As long as he doesn't like the stereotypical Brony and try to force ponies into every single little thing then I'm OK with this.
Hey, "bronies", take this as an example, like MLP? fine, but don't shove it into everyone's fucking face and just say you like it if you do and stop feeding it to us constantly. It's fine you guys like it, I'm glad you found something you enjoy watching, we just don't care nor do we need to know more than once.
Personally, I think My Little Pony's just like anything. Go ahead and like it, and do whatever you like with other fans, but when you ram it down our throats, it starts to grate a little. I actually dislike it when people that take pictures of furry conventions and then get disgusted. It's a place for them to hang out and do what they like, and we don't really have to get involved. Sorry, but this is just my two cents about it.
sorry guys, looks like pc gaming is dead

As stated several hundred other times, people bitch more about brownies and their pastel ponies than the bronies "SHOVE THEIR SHIT IN OUR FACES". No one's feeding you anything constantly. Who gives a shit if Gabe likes ponies.
I think less of him.
I can see the pony promos for tf2 as we speak. :v:
my life is ruined time for suicide
won't buy any valve game again [editline]5th April 2012[/editline] actually I think I will stop using steam
As long as Gabe doesn't legally rename himself to Rainbow Dash, not buy pony figurines, and not look at MLP porn I'm fine with his bronyness or whatever. I just simply watch the show and that's the extent I participate in the community, I don't bother looking at fanart or whatever on purpose.
Y'know, I've kinda come to love these threads where Facepunch users rage over ponies like a little girl while offering as a reason it's not mature enough for them (then they proceed to rate Abraham Lincoln's army of laser bears "Winner"), a kid's show that shouldn't have this large peripheral demographic group of old neckbeards they say, although they also know it's big on sites like dA that are largely populated by teenagers. It's just so damn funny how they rave on about immaturity while themselves calling people, for the sole reason for watching some show they don't like, autistic or instantly assume they're terrible people in general. And then they talk about people shoving the show in their face although ponies almost only come up on Facepunch because somebody wants to express how much he hates people shoving a show in his face. I think it's absolutely hilarious. Nightmare for mods tho, I feel sorry for em. But I do love how something these people love - Gabe and his beard - and something they hate - the obvious - now come together like this. The results are highly interesting to observe. [QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35437373]I don't get this brony fad. It was intended for little girls and yet most of the fanbase is either neckbeard teens or creepy older men. I just don't get it.[/QUOTE] From what I've gathered it has solid writing, diverse characters, and a very light and fluffy setting that contrasts nicely with grey dull everyday work life and also emits a sense of nostalgia from the more care-free times, that's why it has a considerable peripheral demographic consisting of people older than the target audience. Plus, they built in tons of references only parents were supposed to get when watching it with their children.
I bet this news makes bronies feel better about themselves
it's not that I'm angry about Gabe being one, it's just that "bronies" are now going into some twisted frenzy and using this as ammunition to rub their fetish into everyone's faces [I]harder[/I].
