I don't understand how you can all be so saddened and distraught over something as insignificant as him watching a certain cartoon.
I hate MLP I REALLY HATE MLP But the thing is, Gabe doesn't flood places with it like some people who do (SHAME ON YOU) Which means, I don't care. Gabe is still the awesome developer he was before I knew about this.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;35439138]I was not talking only about FP really. reddit and 4chan get it sometimes.[/QUOTE] Well those are pretty un civilized places.
Gabe could massacre an orphanage and I'd still like him.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;35438939]can someone like find me a post where this happened outside of an mlp-related thread, and it isn't trolling/a new doof to the scene because I've only seen it happen twice, one of which was saddasta posting about finding out about a character reference to dr who in a dr who thread, which he was banned for[/QUOTE] The worst I've seen from them is when they sort of "butt in" and "ponify" the subject of a thread. Like when someone posts a pony that looks like a pyro or a soldier from TF2.
Why do people even give a shit. I couldn't even care if there was a MLP chat thread on Facepunch and loads of people had pony avatars and stuff. There's threads for catgirls, crossdressing, gasmasks, guns, etc At the end of the day, people will still shitpost and attention whore whenever there are ponies or not.
Well, I guess I'll just off myself because a man overseas likes a cartoon that I don't.
people who say "he watches it with his kids probably" his kids are like 17 or something. so yeah probably not :v:
[QUOTE=General J;35436647]he probably said it as a joke, but didn't understand how serious internet people take things[/QUOTE] Too bad there are emails of him saying Rainbow Dash is his favorite poni, besides what difference does it make he watches a kids cartoon. Would you feel better if he watched spengbab?
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;35439166]ahahahaha This is a joke right.[/QUOTE] It is not, those who watch MLP are some of the most obnoxious, and, to put it mildly, annoying people I have ever had the displeasure of being in the vicinity of. The fact that a great guy like Gabe chooses to associate himself with such, does indeed lower my faith and respect in him.

Would you feel better if he watched [B]spengbab[/B]?[/QUOTE] You are bad and you should feel bad. [editline]5th April 2012[/editline] Also that doesn't make you uugu kawaii poni poni~ ^^^^^^ We dont go around calling Facepunch as Faicpunsi or something so you shouldn't go running around using word 'poni'. Also that is finnish and means pony.
I don't care whether he (or anyone else) watches pony videos or not. It's like religion to me - as long as they don't try to shove it up my ass I'm fine with it. However, Gabe's confession will probably have an impact on how these "Bronies" will argue about their hobby: "Gabe Newell watches it so it must be awesome!".

It isn't for everyone and overzealous fanboys think it is and are obnoxious idiots. If anyone argues X kid cartoon(mlp) is more mature than Y kid cartoon(pokemon/spengbab/PPG/Dex lab) you are an idiot.
[QUOTE=Combine 177;35439648] Here is one chat log for an example: Apparently he cares.[/QUOTE] One of my friends did the [B]exact[/B] same thing to me, it's quite uncanny. Hivemind much?
It is Spongebob not Spengbab. Spengbab is "horror" version of Spongebob. Just like you have that Molestia Celestia thing.
Is it possible to have one of these threads without it turning into a argument? Seriously?

I'd love to point out that if this were any other 49 year old on the planet he'd be hated pretty much universally.
[QUOTE=AutomataReturns;35436294]Why the fuck would I care what he watches? As long as he isn't preaching his brony ways or shoving it all in my face, I just don't give a shit.[/QUOTE] Next day on steam ... [img]http://zhost.tk/u/6a/steamcom.png[/img]
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35439871]I'd love to point out that if this were any other 49 year old on the planet he'd be hated pretty much universally.[/QUOTE] if you don't see the difference between a billionaire and a basement dwelling loser being a brony, I don't know what to say
i dont give a jack shit about what he watches hes still ..GOD LIKE

Well, what you're doing right there is assuming it's required to be such an annoying person to be a fan, which is obviously not the case when there's non-annoying fans of it.

[QUOTE=Sanius;35439991]if you don't see the difference between a billionaire and a basement dwelling loser being a brony, I don't know what to say[/QUOTE] the billionaire can afford to get a real pony? still creepy as fuck. so gabe newell is now a creepy fuck who makes great games. i dont terribly care so long as there mlp stays out of valve games
That is dumb
Gabe is still a beautiful man, and nothing will ever change that
I've got several friends that watch mlp and I don't really give a shit, but it's those fucks that makes shit like dr whooves and posts it in the dr who thread that I hate.
Doesn't matter, he's one of the smartest people in industry and unlike most of the brony community he doesn't put it out there every 5 seconds that he's a brony.
I just noticed that in the last thread about this (the one that got locked) WolfSeagull posted a popcorn gif and got banned for it, but when I did the same thing earlier I didn't get banned :v:
[QUOTE=Crimor;35440142]I've got several friends that watch mlp and I don't really give a shit, but it's those fucks that makes shit like dr whooves and posts it in the dr who thread that I hate.[/QUOTE] Can you ask them why do they watch it? What's the appeal in a little girls cartoon? At first I thought it was just a fad but turns out people actually watch that shit.
