Should we abolish rule 15?
Sure why not
what's rule 15 again?
Yes, all it does is encourage shitposting.
>>529364
Nope.
>he won't stop shilling for his ponies
Stop spamming this board
>>529364
No, but we should delete /mlp/ and send them all either to >>>/trash/ or to 8ch net/pone/ or 8ch.pl/fim/. Any other place but here.
4chan has rules?
>>529391
No, no, and no.
You have a choice. Spam your antibronyism and more threads get made. Shut up, and everybody gets along. You're choosing the former, like you always have for six years, and you don't learn.
This is coming from an outsider who never obsessed about MLP or the brony fandom, and I find those who actively hate it are much more insufferable to 4chan.
This is your fault.
>>529407
>Shut up and everyone gets along
This being false is the reason the rule is in place to begin with.
>>529364
I used to think the answer should be no but after seeing the sheer amount of anti-pony autism present I changed my mind.
>>529364
Yes, but keep /mlp/. Allow reaction images on other boards but ban for show discussion since it's off topic.
>>529455
Except the opposite is true. The rule was probably made before you got here.
"Bronies" didn't exist until moot made a board for them. Show discussion was confined to one board on /co/. Shitposters just tried to stir up shit in their general constantly, and moot got triggered by their existence.
Just like every single other time, moot made a stupid choice and made everything 1000% worse.
(shhhh, or else he will post 'you are still mad, even after 5 years', or he will make yet another 'let's abolish rule 15' thread)
>>529407
You're only demonstrating why rule 15 is needed.
>>529364
We should get some janitors and mods which don't give 2 shits about /mlp/ and instead forcefully try to shove quality and honest into the board.
Because autists are allergic to honesty, it'll be like poison to them.
I'd love to see all their tears as all the greentext gets demolished and put against the rules.
I'd also love to see some nazi mod just yelling out of his lungs: "Discuss the show. No not like that you shitposting moron. Do it like /tg/ does it."
>>529470
I think the autism is more or less because the rule is even in place.
>>530208
/tg/ derails threads into vaguely related stupid shit all the time, and seem to like it that way.
>>529364
Might as well
I think if it happened, bronies would get a swift reality check on what 4chan thinks of them.
And just like last time bronies would be unable to deal.
Be thankful for what you have.
>>532096
I think if it happened, anti-bronies would get a swift reality check on what 4chan thinks of them.

They're not gonna abolish GR15.
They didn't abolish it in any of the new boards, not even the porn boards.
Aside from /trash/ there's no other board for this garbage.
>>532104
They tried to get it removed on /b/, but Hiro gave them the smack down.
Also bronies, it doesn't look good when you're so impatient and hungry for attention that you bump like 7 threads at the same time.
Try to control yourselves.
>>532108
I was gonna mention that but nothing came out of it.
Hiroshima also went into /trash/ during its earlier days and told the ponyfags to tone down the pony posting.
Shit, they can ban you for subtle humanized pictures too so they're pretty committed to enforcing it
It's pretty clear that Hiroshima isn't gonna end GR15
>>532104
GR15 is not gonna get removed but it's gonna get its content replaced. /mlp/ gets out of it and /pol/ will take its well deserved spot.
>>532161
I like this idea.
>>530208
Didn't /mlp/ have a few thread purges a month or so ago when the new cartoon season started?
I think there were even complaints on /qa/ regarding what the mods did for deleting all the erp-greentext threads.
>>529400
ZOMG yes.
>>529407
>antibronyism
Stop making up words to elevate and defend your retarded manchild hobby. A large amount of anons don't care for my little pony and still haven't forgot the spam related to it in the past. The autismal cunts obsessed with it were an absolute fucking pest on the site for a while and their containment board has worked pretty well in that the horsefuckers got their own little space and the rest of the site didn't have to put up with my little pony porn spam on a far too frequent basis.
On top of that, horsefuckers have forums, site and imageboards entirely dedicated to my little pony, which they can use if 4chan is too shit for them.

this but for anime
>>532118
Source?
>>532350
It's Soraka from League of Legends. Ironically this is one of the few skins where she is not part-unicorn.
Posting pony threads and images - that is, threads about ponies and images of ponies - outside the pony board is a subset of posting off topic, which is already ostensibly not allowed.
Posting "pony images" - that is, images of humans that look nothing like the canon human characters in MLP, but were made by an artist who also makes images of ponies, which you would only know by systematically reverse image searching every image in every thread on every board, is harmless.
The source is not the image. If I own a copy of a painting made by Adolf Hitler (and it is possible I don't even know it), that doesn't make the image itself hate speech, it doesn't mean I like Hitler, it just means I have bad taste in art.
>>532430
Nope.
Fuck off fagoot. If it's mlp related it's fucking gone. The rule extends to humanized images and that's that.
A wise man once said, "If you ban ponies they will post frogs."
>>532587
>draw a picture of a potato
>say it's a potato-ized pony
>it becomes a picture of a pony
Why is the artist's word more important than the picture itself?
>>532608
I have a theory: Stealth ponyposters immediately respond to their own posts with things like "Oh boy Barneyfag's gonna hate this" because they are starved for attention and want to make sure Barneyfag recognizes it. He probably isn't all that obsessed and has to google around to find out the origin of the picture.
>>532587
You know, that's the beauty of GR15. It makes the no hooves fags as equally degenerate as the hooves fags. According to 4chan both no hooves and hooves are equally degenerate.
I like seeing faggots complain about the rule, especially in /aco/ where figgots think GR15 is not applied or think their no hooves horse porn is immune to it.
Ir causes good butthurt tbph
>>532630
Check the source of the image lad. If it says it a mlp character than it's fair game
>tfw read these threads and people who are against posting ponies tralk to the brony types like they never originated from 4chan to begin with.
>>529364
I think we should allow ponies on /a/ and then extend GR15 to "post animes only in the /a/ board" let's make anime a containment board. They have almost, if not an even higher level of insufferable ignorance, entitlement, egotistical asshole attitude and lack of humility than the /b/ronies.
Every single time some srubborn asshole makes a thread on /co/ saying how superior anime is over western animation and then proceeds to deny, deride, bellitle and use mental gymnastic on everyone. We had one just today.
Why are bronies locked in death battles with other fandoms and subcultures?
You realize this isn't the path to being respected, right?
>>532773
Not going to happen, 4chan has roots as an anime site and will always favor anime and Japanese realed elements.
Go to a pony chan or something if that's what you wish

I just made this picture. I am the artist and I say it is MLP related, so it is.
Now if you save this picture and post it, you will be breaking global rule 15.
Because I said it's a picture of a pony.
>>534575
I hope someone tries this and Barneyfag has to call them out and provide a screencap of this post as evidence. Where to post it though.../ic/?
If the artist's word overrules the image, can I draw a picture of a pony and SAY it's a human, and it will be allowed?
>>534652
Try it and find out.
>>534673
>>534679
That looks like a praying mantis. I could save it as "yaa gomen gomen" and nobody would mistake it for a pony. Draw a better picture.
>>534682
It's not supposed to be a pony though, it's clearly Washington Crossing the Delaware.
Not everything is about YOU.
>>534691
It doesn't look like Washington Crossing the Delaware either. It's shit art and you need to do better work before pretending to be an artist, you piece of trash. The phrase "back to the drawing board" was literally invented for you. Now get to it.

Why are horsefuckers always on edge?

It's the only thing they have in common with a subset of /tg/. Considering a lot of elf threads on /tg/ seem to be "elf slave, wat do" anons seem to be getting sick of them.
>>534881
They're autistic and don't read social situations well. But they know what ridicule is - so they are hypervigilant for any signs of ridicule or disrespect.
It must honestly suck for them - being constantly worried someone is talking shit about them.
I'm actually supportive of abolishing GR15 and I hate bronies.
Think about it with GR15 gone bronies would spam once again, in turn anons would resist and bronies would be gone from 4chan
>>535994
I guess I can see this. Some people are forgetting why the rule existed in the first place. The bronies can't resist themselves. They even spam and falseflag this board daily. Give them a week unrestricted and everyone will be reminded of why they should be hated and contained.

yeah, I'd be able too as well if I started browsing last week

It's cute to see that bronies are still buttmad about being fucking cancer. Wonder if they'll all kill themselves when the show is over. Oh well, one can dream. Have fun "trolling" my friend.

Actually I don't read quest threads at all, I just have nothing against them.

Hi Barneyfag.
All the pony threads on /qa/ bumped.
Glad people still care about this crucial issue that's causing the fall of traditional 4chan culture by existing.
Remove gr15 because the problematic anons are following toxic ideals in preventing discussion
>>537803
>Remove gr15 because the problematic anons are following toxic ideals in preventing discussion
More than not being able to freely discuss or reference one show, this is the truly terrible legacy of GR15. Users believe that anything they don't like doesn't deserve to be discussed, and that any action they take to prevent it is justified.
GR15 applies to the fandom. It's just a very sad, unfortunate casualty... that a poor little girl's horse franchise had to be killed just because a manchild brony was riding it and spreading cheetoos dust on it.
Look how butthurt they get like a bunch of animals. Not even /vp/ is this autistic over pokemons.
>>>/mlp/27432817
>>538201
>linking this to at least 3 different threads
"Horsefuckers keep blowing me the fuck out when I say retarded shit" is not a good reason to keep GR15.
>>529541
Fucking this. There are so many good images to post that are tangentially related to the show that get shit on because of brigaders like barneyfag.
>>538282
>There are so many good images to post
Show me five examples.
We should abolish all rules, and all laws, humans are totally responsible enough to make good decisions on their own and will never act selfishly or with the intent to harm another person. No system of control is required.
>>538314
>seeing the horsie pictures from the Bad Show that Makes Me Angry is exactly like global anarchy
A picture of a fan-made human redesign of a pony is a picture of a pony because the artist says it is based on a pony.
Therefore, a picture of a fan-made pony redesign of a human is a picture of a human because the artist says it is based on a human.
This is the only logical conclusion. The content of the image itself does not matter, only the artist's word.
I don't even like ponies, I just call inconsistency where I see it.
>>540394
You're not wrong, but it'd be so, so much easier to just stop enforcing such a stupid rule.
>>529364
Nope. I'd allow the abolishment if we could round up every single person who would consider posting ponies more than once, in the present and the future, and execute them.
>>541705
Right now your definition of "flood the site" is "sometimes the OP pic of germane threads has origins that may be tangentially pony-related if you're incredibly well versed in the show's lore and all its thousands of fanartists." And like 99% of those are posted by one mentally-unstable autist just so he can bitch about them.
Even during the Bad Old Days "flood the site" meant "I saw a reaction image so I derailed the thread with my bitching," or "one of dozens of random off-topic shitposting threads that plague /v/ or /b/ but I only cared about the one with ponies because I have a brain defect."
>>541923
Do you think people can post whatever they want? Regardless of the feelings you percieve as stupid, it was an inescapable outcome. You can downplay the severity all you want but you should remember of who the people that browse here are and what they do.
>>541950
The fuck are you even going on about? It's just cartoon horse pictures. People would get over it (and already would have if they hadn't been needlessly coddled).
>>542001
>People would get over it
Sure, but how long would that take? How many discussions would get disrupted? It's simple math; what action causes less shitposts? We're not trying to be morally just here; removing incendiary elements keeps thing undisturbed.
>>542009
1. Inertia is a really stupid reason to keep being stupid.
2. I dare you to look at /v/ or /b/ and tell me there's even one iota less shitposting now. The only difference is what's being used to shitpost.
3. The "incendiary element" is people who would rather shitpost than get over the fact that someone referenced a show, and encouraging them is what's made it so much more difficult to have a legitimate discussion about anything around here anymore.
>>542059
>tell me there's even one iota less shitposting now
Are you autistic?
>get over
There you go again. I don't understand, do you not realize who the ones that post here are? It doesn't matter if there was an irrational reaction. Some users' intial impression was aversion, so rejection was exhibited and mimiced by others. It's part of history now and no one's opinion of bronies is going to change for the better to any significant degree since the ones who posted ponies, regardless of their intent, were disagreeable and obnoxious with their posts. You've mentioned /b/ and /v/ but they were colourfully plastered on several more boards as off-topic threads and as reaction images.
Also don't forget hateboners
>>543421
Your life is a shit show but we're not banned from discussing it.
>>543639
Discuss your life on most boards and you get told to fuck off.
Why do you think ponies should get special privileges on an anime image board
I hate bronies and I'm all for abloishing GR15
Bronies will inevitably spam their shit, and shitposters will join in to.
It will cause a conflict between bronies and non-bronies which they would lose.
The only reason GR15 was enacted was for the bronie's benefit, GR15 actually supports them by making an official containment board.
>>532346
4chan is that site though.

No, that was the bumper. He goes through and bumps every old /mlp/ thread, whether it's supporting or not supporting GR15, /mlp/, etc with inane short posts. There's 17 /mlp/ threads on /qa/ because he goes through and bumps all the old ones every day.
>>551979
Only until all this shit goes away.
>>543694
It's not like we'd get the boot forever even if that did happen. They would just put us back on /mlp/.
Aside from that I believe that GR-15 should be modded in a way that allows all of the NSFW content to be redirected towards boards like /trash/ and /aco/ (Equestria Girls) and any sort of borderline SFW fetish generals to be contained into one thread. I could care less about reaction images or discussion outside of /mlp/, but in all hoesntly wouldn't it just be easier to view any sort of sexual/extremely violent content on a board that allows it instead of clicking through all sorts of links and needing to reload albums off of Imgur?
>>554141
NSFW mlp is already allowed in /trash/
EqG isn't allowed on /aco/ and I don't see why it should if it's already allowed on trash.
>>554658
>EqG isn't allowed on /aco/ and I don't see why it should if it's already allowed on trash.
Just to stop that much more anons making a fuss about GR-15. Though the best possible thing to do is to confine all EqG to one general so there's no shitposting. The flip side would be that more material would have the potential of being created since more fanbases browse /aco/ than /trash/ that may not mind the company of brightly colored ayy lmaos. It may not stop some people from complaining, but that's their own issue.
>>529364
We should abolish all rules but 15. Also we should extend rule 15 to cover anything within six degrees of Twilight Sparkle.
hi, barneyfag
Would Barneyfag x ACK be considered crack?
>>554831
Nah.
GR15 being lifted from that board is less of an issue than gr3 being enforced when like a very big chunk of Western material is banned. EqG can suck it.

That's simply moderations issue.
