[QUOTE=Cone;35440020]So have you ever met a really, really annoying fan of something other than MLP? 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] Yes, I have met a few fans of other things that have been annoying beyond belief, but none are nowhere near as annoying or obnoxious, nor gives me a feeling of punching them square in the face, only bronies manage to do that. Every single brony I have met, in real life and on the internet, have all been the same, as well. So it's not a isolated incident or anything, as you're trying to make it out to be.
He said he watched it, he didn't say he was an annoying cunt that talks about pony shit all the time.
Can't wait for the influx of gabe x celestia porn

Anybody got more commentary than "omg I'm disappointed in gabe" or "bronies suck"?

If bronies anger you so much, why would you associate someone you [I]know[/I] is a cool dude with them when there's only an incredibly tenuous link between them? If all people wo watched MLP were asshats, Gabe would also be an asshat. Yet he isn't, therefore you do not need to be an asshat to watch MLP. It's a simple concept.

Fact is, though, that the remainding 99.9999% of all those who associate themselves with MLP are not cool enough; Infact, I have even had to throw one out of the same room I was in, because everyone was bitching at the stupid fuck to stop circlejerking about MLP and he never did.
[QUOTE=The fox;35440539]Gabe is a proper enough man not to be associated with the rest of the fanbase, though the fact that he chooses to associate himself with such people does lower my respect and faith in him.[/QUOTE] You people are so fucking dense. Just because he watches it doesn't mean he associates with that god awful fandom.
MLP or not, it's what he likes, it doesn't mean he's horrible n shit.
I think he just watches it because he has seen all the pony players / users / whatever and is interested in why the fuck they are watching it. He liked the show and watches it. Whats so bad about it? I watch futurama and simpsons, one has robots and other has yellow people. Can't see anything bad about that.
Gabe is still a Great man. Nonetheless.
The dumb fans are ALWAYS the loudest. It's like that with everything. Apple, ponies, anime, whatever... Generalizing is always bad.
Here's my stance on pretty much every fandom, etc. fan = being ridiculously annoying if yes then ignore like fuck, or tell them to keep it to themselves and MOVE ON if not then don't start it and leave it be Seriously, a lot of people don't ignore shit and MOVE ON.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;35439268]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.[/QUOTE] Because Only sperging douchebags bitch and moan all day about how "Sperg bronies are evil" Only sperging douchebags bitch and moan all day about how "MLP Changed their lives forever" so yeah, at the end of the day, people will still do that
Gaben is the prime example of a good brony. He doesn't mention it to everyone he knows, he doesn't set it as his avatar and go around calling himself mysticalwing or some shit like that. He enjoys it by himself (and maybe with his other brony friends if he has those) and doesn't go pushing it in people's faces. If you want to be a brony, follow gaben's example. If someone asks you if you have some sort of weird hobby then it's okay to explain it, but boasting about everywhere you go is incredibly dumb.
I love how everyone is sucking off valve in this thread
I have a few friends who watch MLP. I don't really care what they do as long as they're not the kind who want to fuck horses or something like that. Also, Bill Clinton is a brony.

[QUOTE=Sanius;35440231]nerds all over the world obsess over it. it's really pathetic[/QUOTE] I still never will understand the appeal, even after watching it a bit. Anyway, who cares. Most people hate the annoying loudmouths and whatnot, not people who simply watch it, I hope.
I never really understood why bronies exist, it just seems like they are doing it to be cool in other peoples' eyes or something, but that is not something I could know since I don't think I have any brony friends. I honestly don't care about MLP and bronism, they can watch it all they want. I am just curious as to how this got started and why people like it.

People who said they are ashamed of Gabe because he watches mlp, deserve a fucking kick in the balls. I don't even like this show, but what the fuck men
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35441466]If I wanted to look cool I'd pick something that does not involve ponies, rainbows and little girl cartoons.[/QUOTE] So basically following the crowd is what makes you cool. Nice. Edit: The Facepunch way.

He obviously want us to see the show because there's gonna be a Half Life 3 ARG on the next season
hahaha the irony is apparent in the fact that hardly any pony fan "shoves it in your face" here whereas as soon as any pony related thing is even glimpsed at OMG STOP SHOVING UR BRONY SHIT UP OUR ASSHOLES GO FIND UR OWN FORUM FUCKIN FAGOT PONIES UGH!!! its the same deal with justin bieber, you retards get this humongous hate boner for practically no good reason and just ruminate on these arbitrary negative feelings and end up being a massive obnoxious cunt about it
