Now I can really make babies with my Twilight plushie.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40190758]You have no idea how hot that is...[/QUOTE] Well, it is made out of fleece, which as I recall is a pretty warm material, so...

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;40190868]They already have no lives so I don't see why I'd do something like that.[/QUOTE] Ass
I see Build-a-Bear is really going after a certain demographic. [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/aepp4g.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Crash15;40190884]Ass[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm not going to lie, that kinda sucked.
My girlfriend keeps trying to get me to buy one. :c [editline]7th April 2013[/editline] for myself I mean.

I've loved build a bear for years and I have several of them and I'll be damned if I don't get an adorable Pinkie Pie You don't understand what its like to have as many stuffed animals as I do I even established a mayor (Teddy Bear of course because he's the oldest) and we have teachers for the younger ones and everything I freakin love stuffed animals
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;40190987]Are you referring to the Autism Speaks underneath My Little Pony?[/QUOTE] I plead the fifth.

Took Hasbro long enough to do this. I said this a long time ago - if Hasbro were to team up with Build-a-Bear and allow people to build their favorite or OC pony, they would rolling in money.
And from now on, all Build-A-Bears will smell of BO and semen.
hooray, another pony thread i wish i understood why people here still make these
I WANT IT
[QUOTE=erfinjerfin;40191057]hooray, another pony thread i wish i understand why people here still make these[/QUOTE] Because people are still immature, insecure, and need to feel better about themselves by demeaning others for being different. But of course we can't do that to blacks, gays, or jews anymore so next in line was guys who like cartoon horses.

If I see figures or models, I feel no inclination to buy them. But if I see a plush, I have to fight myself to not buy it. Even though I'm not that big into pony anymore, I ended up buying [url=http://i.ebayimg.com/t/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-Pinkie-Pie-plush-Doll-12-Xmas-Gift-/00/s/OTMzWDYwMA==/$%28KGrHqZHJCIFC0R1HmOqBQuI,lINyg~~60_57.JPG]this[/url] on an impulse. That said, the ones at Build-a-Bear seem to have a good model, but the hair could do with some improvement.
[QUOTE=Rellow;40191109]...why are you equating disliking people who have an obsession with cartoon horses to racism, homophobia, and antisemitism?[/QUOTE] Upon retrospect the racism comparison doesn't actually work particularly well, but the other two still fit perfectly, you're attacking, stereotyping, and demeaning people just for being different and liking something you don't.
[QUOTE=Rellow;40191109]...why are you equating disliking people who have an obsession with cartoon horses to racism, homophobia, and antisemitism?[/QUOTE] Do you know what it's like to be in a disliked fandom? Check your privilege, cifscum.

But of course we can't do that to blacks, gays, or jews anymore so next in line was guys who like cartoon horses.[/QUOTE] Making fun of someone for obsessing over a children's' cartoon isn't the same as making someone for their skin-color or other equivalents. That's a very poor comparison.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;40191133]As much as I embody your sentiment, criticizing FP 7/10 times ends in nothing but boxes.[/QUOTE] Well it doesn't help when you use a terrible argument.

That's a very poor comparison.[/QUOTE] As I said, the racism comparison was more akin to the actual actions and mindset behind them (false perceptions of superiority/inferiority over minor differences), however the comparison to gays and jews still fit fine, they're people typically despised for having a different mindset, different tastes, different beliefs than the mainstream.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;40191157]It can't be helped, it's been the same since I joined this forum over a year ago.[/QUOTE] It's been the same since I joined four years ago. It's the way communities are, they stick to a general consensus. Doesn't help the site is based around a common interest, thus drawing people in from that demographic.

The reason so many people, including myself, despise the fandom is because of certain individuals who are obnoxiously flamboyant about their passion for the show. There are quite a few people in my classes who bring up the show on a day-to-day basis and irritatingly reference it during class discussions. As far as I am concerned, there are two types of men who enjoy My Little Pony; people who enjoy the show and are respectfully quiet about it, and people who identify as Bronies and obnoxiously flaunt their passion. I respect the former and hate the latter.

By this logic Feminism, Guns and Economics should be banned. :v: That or Garry just hates them.
MLP is an issue that's really stupid and causes a disproportionate amount of shitstorms, which is why there's a rule in place just for it.
Hasbro is swimming in money right now. Brony money and loadsa emone
[QUOTE=Stinky;40191229]MLP is an issue that's really stupid and causes a disproportionate amount of shitstorms[/QUOTE] That doesn't stop alot of other things from being discussed.
