What I find stupid is how people say they don't give a shit, but they give a shit anyways.

I really don't see why people make such a big fuss about gabe watching MLP, the man likes it let him be.
As far as I'm concerned he deserves to have something he personally enjoys. After all, most of his games are like that to us.

Ninja'd by pretty much the same thing.
There's a pretty huge difference between people who just watch the show, and "Bronies".
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35436286]I don't think any less of him.
He likes a show that some people look down upon. So what? He's still a bro.[/QUOTE]
He puts the bro in Brony. :v:
I am so full of fail :suicide:

People that are all "God I hate MLP fags prancing around with there avatars and being all proud THEY ARE SO DUMB, not that I care" are very rare, but sadly exist

Word "Brony" is "labeled" as autistic downs that masturbate at ponies and doesn't really have anything better to do than shove his/her/its "dick" in front of you.
Like this one:

We couldn't care less or more about your pony porn.
Even if it wasn't a PR move I wouldn't consider him a brony
he isn't obnoxiously pushing the show down everyone's throats
the day steam gets ponies or whatevs then yes
I just find it funny that people care so much about this to begin with.
Maybe he has a kid who likes it?
I still like donald duck, does that make me crazy?

I've never seen a brony shove my little pony down anyone's throats.
Where do people get this idea from?

I never seen a franchise with a fanbase this loud. Usually the creepy obsessive weirdos are content to lurk in the wretched bowls of Deviantart where they draw their recolored "original characters"
Who in the name of flying fuck gives a shit?

I hate MLP. Not because of bronies, they can watch whatever the fuck they want. It's because the mere mention of MLP causes brony haters to just take over the thread. Like here, a thread about Gabe Newel giving an interview, which was really interesting. But one mention of MLP and the thread goes for 6 pages of "I hate bronies shoving their shit down our throats".
Try looking in the fucking mirror, because the brony haters are much worse than the bronies at this point.

Then you don't hate MLP but its haters.

I found myself in trouble at first here. I watched the show and I liked it, but I didn't identify with the brony community. I didn't until I found this definition:
[quote]A name typically given to the male viewers/fans (whether they are straight, gay, bisexual, etc.) of the My Little Pony show or franchise. They typically do not give in to the hype that males aren't allowed to enjoy things that may be intended for females.[/quote]
(Urban dictionary)
Liking the show makes you a fan of it, as the definition of fan is
[quote]... a person with a liking and enthusiasm for something[/quote]
(wikipedia).
What I'm trying to say is, watching the show and liking it already makes you a brony, whether you like it or not. You don't need to be gay nor autistic to be a brony. You don't need to be singing the MLP songs in public to be a brony. There are bronies that just watch the show like any other good show, and there are bronies with their rooms full of pony dolls. There are extremes of any fandom.
The only real generalization you can make of bronies is that they like MLP:FIM. It is wrong, stupid and even morally injustified to simply say bronies are autistic, gay or whatever. I'd expect better arguments from facepunch users.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;35441424]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.[/QUOTE]
I am a brony because I genuinely like the show. During the first weeks I was a closet brony, which proves that I wasn't/am not doing it to be cool. I don't talk about ponies that much unless I'm talking to another brony. The only pushing I might ever do is saying "You should watch the show, it's actually pretty good". This is but a mere recommendation, and I will honestly accept a no.
Maybe he was talking about 90's MLP who knows.
I'm actually appalled by how stupid some people are. I don't care that Gabe watches MLP... I care at the fact that the vocal fanbase of MLP are going to eat this shit up as much as they can.
Thats whats going to irritate the fuck out of me.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35445551]This thread however, is fucking disgusting and it's the same goddamn shit that people threw at furries.[/QUOTE]
Furries got yelled at because they rammed their fandom down everyone's throats. The same thing is happening now with bronies.
It's not that people necessarily hate them for their fandom, it's the fact that many of them were so eager to shove it in places where it doesn't belong.
Uninstalling steam right now. [sp]Go to /v/ people are actually doing this[/sp]
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35445551]I honestly don't give a fuck if Gabe is a brony. I'll never meet the man, or ever communicate with him ever. Chances are, NONE OF YOU EVER WILL. It made for only a momentary amusement. This thread however, is fucking disgusting and it's the same goddamn shit that people threw at furries. Hell, on some level it's the same shit social conservatives throw at gays. Live and let live is dead on Facepunch because people have their heads too far up their own ass to grow up.[/QUOTE]
the whole furry and brony argument is because group A and group B are both complete dumb asses who just sperg at each other over cells bumping together.
And it's no were near the shit people throw at gays because you actually can hide a fandom far more effectively, and it's not nearly as harsh. Don't compare a bunch of internet dwellers being tards to actual social issues in real life please, it's offensively ignorant. No one gives a shit if you watch a cartoon or draw animal people, or at least, people give far less a shit generally most of the time as opposed to being gay.

there are multiple people here who've met him.
If I could I would blacklist every post that had "shove down everyones throats" in it.
If that happened more than half of the posts would be gone.
And you say these people wont shut up. I think you guys need to look in the mirror.
Question - would it be better or worse if in the interview, he confessed to being a furry?
