Why bronies are evil

They don't mind if there are pony fans and typically will leave us alone. Only the ones who will hate on us are the bad kinds. It's kinda like the furry fandom really only there are more anti-furry kinds that are haters than civil ones sadly.

Yes, I'm also a furry fan, but I'm a brony as a double over. I'm super open minded, so I can welcome most things without judgement. Even if I'm not a fan of it. Not all anti-bronies are bad. That's saying that everyone except bronies are bad. Everyone has their own free will to do what they please when they please. Power of reasoning is what separates us from animals.

Though not all anti bronies are bad, there is that one little prick who calls the men part of the fandom gay and childish when they are the one's being childish. It's my number one pet peeve except for my nails scratching paper. I have many friends that don't like bronies or don't even know that they exist. But regardless they are good friends even if they don't have the same viewing as I do. Dislikers usually are people not comfortable with their opposition, but respect their subjects and do not go out of the way harming others to get other people to behave in the "desired" way.

They do state out their reasons, but they normally do not generalize. In short, they express disapprove, but they don't harm. Haters are at a completely different level. They go out of the way harming others mentally and often physically. They can't keep their opinions to themselves and just have to force others to conform to them, they often generalize certain rare "bad" traits which usually aren't statically proven or are simply made up to the whole fandom. In short, they express extremist like disapprove, and they harm.

Not all anti bronies are bad. Some might not personally like bronies, but at least except it. Plus, there' just non bronies who don't care. Honestly, I don't find a person who doesn't agree with me a bad person. I might not agree with their mindset but I won't hate them for it.

What they don't realize is that they're appearing ten times more idiotic than they claim we are. Anti-bronies who keep it to themselves aren't so bad. It's their opinion after all, and they're not spreading needless hate. It also helps to have a good reason for having a problem with the show too, instead of just saying we're gay or whatever.

Yes, there is no good or common decency in a bunch of cyber bullies who rally together under ridiculous names and wave a banner around with a pony's head on a pole spike praising humanity, there is only varying degrees of bad and that ranges from minor flamebaiting to severe incomprehensible delusion. It's humorous to watch them tell people otherwise while they are being vulgar and uncouth in the process, because being interested in sociology and psychology, I have no idea what it is about a TV show that drives someone to such hatred until they qualify for a padded cell.

It tells a lot about a person who joins such group whose goals typically involve 'erasing' an entire community from the internet, because if you are rationally sane Those who are respectful, sane, and smart enough to resent the show and its fandom don't usually wear the label anti-brony and I perfectly understand that.

I had a couple of friends who were rationally opposed to the show and considered it offensive to call them such. There is a difference between someone not liking the show and a anti-brony. One usually displays respect, the other one doesn't. I've met a few that arnt too bad. I guess it depends on how you're defining anti-brony.

I don't really care when people don't like the show. That's no problem to me. It don't really even have a problem when people dislike bronies, though I may sometimes try to change their mind.

It becomes a problem when people go out of their way to harass MLP fans. Those are the people who I would call anti-bronies, and I consider what they do to be bad behavior. Well MLP and the brony community aren't some kind of absolute good , so people who dislike the show and the fandom can't properly be called bad. There certainly are some "anti-bronies" who take things a bit too far and end up hurting people, but I can't see how there's anything truly wrong or bad about being against a TV show.

Not true at all. There's been a steady increase in the fandom over the past several months, and you're seeing various conventions increase in size and attendance.

One of them, BronyCon, had 1, more attendees this year than last, nearly eclipsing 10, Thanks to the successful season four especially Twilight's Kingdom , you're bound to see a much larger fandom. If anyone is seeing less Brony hatred, it's probably just because it's not becoming as popular or fun to hate on Bronies as it once was. We're kind of dropping a bit out of their sights, so to speak. After all, Naruto and Sonic used to be the popular things to hate on, and while there is still disdain for them, the jokes have died down to nothing more than passive joking at best.

The same thing will happen to Bronies, especially if something else that's popular to hate on comes along next. I find them funny, so I don't really think about whether or not they're bad people. I find it hard to judge a person based solely upon them not liking a show, even if they are filled with venom toward the show and the fandom.

I dunno, I just find some of the anti-Brony stuff funny. Call me a sadist if you have to. The activity in lots and lots of brony threads in other forums are huge, but still significantly lower than 2 years before. At the same time, I've seen less thread of people whining about bronies in those forums. Both sides have decreased over time.

Yeah, BronyCon increased in attendance not nearly like the att. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

If we take this "non participation" into account we can see that not all non bronies are bad, some are but hay its like a orchard, your allways gonna have bad apples Edited August 11, by Frozen The Unicorn.

KokuraiNoSenshi 3, Are anti-bronies bad? Hell no! Edited August 11, by KokuraiNoSenshi. Christmasy Britty 2, I used to be a stranger 7, Well, not all people that don't watch MLP are bad. The anti-bronies are just people who have no life, and decide to make our life as difficult as possible Then again, I know someone who likes MLP, but doesn't want to be labled a brony, because of the bad name bronies have.

Because even though I think most anti-bronies are pathetic, some of them have good reasons to dislike bronies, and don't go out to insult EVERY brony, just the annoying bronies Its kinda difficult to answer Edited August 11, by ponytheorist.

Mr F 1, Hating and simply not liking is very different things. But the phenomenon didn't just persist—it thrived. Like countless other outsiders who found each other online, bronies sought each other out and created places to congregate. A brony delegation is building MLP worlds in Minecraft. They host gatherings and conventions that attract thousands. And they've used their love of the show to challenge entrenched notions about what men and boys can like and feel, even as they've reshaped the meaning of fandom.

The reasons why people enjoy brony fandom are complex, in part because of the gender assumptions surrounding the show and its "intended" audience. The cartoon, as well as its values caring, generosity, and kindness , is widely seen as being "for girls," so men who like it often are mocked as feminine or childish.

Bronies fully realize this, which explains why fewer than half of bronies surveyed would be comfortable admitting their broniness. Identity is a tricky thing, and being a grown man wearing a My Little Pony T-shirt can get you harassed—it's much easier to find like-minded friends on the internet.

Bronies who convene online were drawn by the show, but they stayed because they'd finally found like-minded people who share the values behind it. Take Ohad Kanne. The CEO of videogame studio Barking Muffin Games , Kanne says he became "immediately hooked" after he watched the show for the first time, and from there discovered the community through memes, Twitter, and websites like Equestria Daily. Kanne is part of the Meetup group Bronies of Northern California, a collection of My Little Pony aficionados who would likely have never met if it hadn't been for online fandom.

On a recent Saturday the group met at a member's San Francisco house to play Ponyfinder — a ponified version of the role-playing game Pathfinder — and while the mood is generally jovial, Kanne has something else on his mind. In late January, word spread through the community about an year-old boy named Michael Morones who had attempted suicide after being bullied for being a brony.

He survived, but has been hospitalized, and bronies began an online fundraiser to help his family. The fundraiser is a way to rally support for the boy's family, but also to send an anti-bullying message. People are saying stop picking on him because he's a brony, but just as much—if not more—that we should stop bullying as a whole.

At the end of the documentary, we see him at BronyCon, marveling that "four times the population of my town is in this building," and those people would have never come together were it not for the convention—and the show it celebrates.

Taken together, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic , the conventions it inspires, and even the documentary itself have all conspired to create a space for a new kind of fan. This is the quality that differentiates bronies from almost every other fandom: Their very existence breaks down stereotypes. Socialized gender norms not to mention marketing dictates that boys are supposed to like things like trucks, while girls are supposed to like princesses and pink stuff.

Bronies obliterate that ideal. A recent piece in The American Conservative went so far as to ask, "Is this the end of American manhood?
