Why does this still happen?
>>
Trolling is a art.

because somehow even though /mlp/ has been around for nearing 6 years now somehow people are still unable to not get pissed off at the sight of a pink pony.

it's kind of fucking pathetic and speaks volumes about the mental maturity of the users of 4chan.

with you there.
what drives me up the wall is how much people go on and on about hating reddit, but literally will not shut the fuck up about reddit. Like I don't even think actual redditors who frequent 4chan ever make mention of being from there it's just the people who hate reddit who ever talk about it.

This should be a trial rule:

Anybody who gets pissed at a pony picture, especially a really vague one, should be a one day sitewide ban. If you're going to derail a thread, you should be banned.
>>
>>493378
>>493382
4chan invents people to be angry at, then swears they're real.
>>
>>493384
However, of course, if you're the original pony poster and you reply to anybody getting pissed, you should also receive a ban because you're contributing to fucking up the thread.
>>
>>493384
a day isn't long enough, and it should replace the "You are banned" image with an image of a laughing pony with the caption "you're a fucking child"

something that really drives in just how fucking moronic it is to be mad at something so trivial
>>
>>493384
That just encourages evading though. I don't think GR15 is working as it is. Don't know what needs to be changed, but it isn't good the way it is.

Maybe what you said combined with pony pictures being allowed only for reaction images and everything actually discussing it has to go on /mlp/? It would be a shock for a week but then everyone would get used to it and it would be no worse than smug anime girl or Frogposting: a few people get upset but it generally doesn't disrupt anything.

honestly that's the sad thing, No one truly gives a fuck about mlp images at this point and it's only ever kept for that 20% that just can't not shit themselve in rage.

the rule was made back when the show started and no one could go to any board with out ponies. /b/ and /co/ had like a milion threads that would hit bump limit in relatively short time, eventually making the board and the rule. the over reaction was caused from the overload, and the continued over reaction is the justificastion for keeping the rule in place unfortunately.

honestly if it were me I'd just tell the posters to just shut up and deal with it since there's no rule about smug anime faces or frogpost and they cause just as much shit, but hey consistent logic doesnt' exactly work on 4chan

You are ignoring half the fact:

Honestly I think the big issue here is people getting upset over reaction images in general. You're giving them power regardless of what they are. Whether it's Pepe, smug anime girls, or ponies.

If you predictably act like an autist every time they are posted, guess what people are going to keep doing? Should we really be protecting people that are no better than Tumblr users demanding a safe space?
>>
>>494485
See, this isn't even from anything related to the show. It came from a disproven hoax about a crossover. It's not pony related at all. This is all done to antagonize a single person and I don't know why both that OP and the person he targets are allowed to continue doing their little game.
>>
>>494491
I think it's hilarious. Bronies are so mad at this one guy (himself a former brony) that they can't stop shitting up /v/ with "subtle" bait.

The problem with that is there are actually limits to the things we are willing to tolerate. We do actually have rules on 4chan and regardless of what you might think about all of them, there are some you're happy they exist.

I know we like to pretend we're the untouchable anons who aren't bothered by anything - but that actually isn't true. Some things do bother us - it's only human.
What I have found in my life as well as on 4chan is that people who act like they are the untouchable trolls in fact nurse some deep wounds. They love to antagonize others but can't take it when it's turned on them.

That's why I don't have a problem with rule 15. Because bronies are that kind of hypocrite that loves to dish it out but can't take it. They're literally hung up on one special ed student who thinks they are gay. One guy.
Hell, if you call them bronies or ask why they're into the show, they get really touchy about it.
Yet, whenever they get the chance, they try to piss people off with MLP, or at least, barneyfag.

Who wants to deal with that kind if raging hypocrite? Nobody, which is why they got a containment board, and a rule against them.
>>

>, if you call them bronies or ask why they're into the show, they get really touchy about it.

I'm not helping at all, but really that can be blamed on society with the whole "grown men watching a kid show is weird and creept" stigma, the fact that there are some poorly socialised folk out there that are bronies don't help either.

GR15 should be removed.

There's no reason for it to exist. Off-topic posting is against the rules anyways on each board, so its not as if its necessary. /mlp/ should have the same relationship with other boards that /vp/ has with other boards, where Pokemon vidya is allowed on /v/ and Pokemon anime is allowed on /a/, but general Pokemon discussion is for /vp/ (video games, anime, toys, cards, etc). So in other words, the MLP cartoon should be allowed on /co/, while video games like Them's Fightin' Herds, which mods seem to think is pony related, should be allowed on /v/. While any pony content and general pony content is fit for /mlp/.

Plus it would likely push spammers like Barneyfag away. In fact I believe he has already stated that if GR15 didn't exist he'd probably leave the site. Not that this should be done because of him; changing rules because of a single user is silly. Just that the rule is unnecessary to begin with due to the aforementioned reasons (and also because MLP in general has slowed down in popularity ever since season 3) and that'd just be another positive byproduct of its removal.
>>
>>497594
Imagine something really really gay, gayer than gay porn, so gay any rational father should disown or violently beat their child for liking. That's MLP and why the rule exists. GR15 should stand, bronies kill selves please
>>
>>497594
This.
>>
>>497594
i think it should be lessened gradually. if they just flat out remove it, /b/ would just shitpost 4chan again. On the plus side, barneyfags would collectively hang themselves on its removal.
>>
>>497602
You'd have to had watched all the gay porn in the world to know that, anon.

The only thing gayer than gay porn, so gay any rational father should disown or violently beat their child, is you.

>>497594
Part of the reason that /mlp/ got moved off of /co/ is that there were just too many threads about it. When you consider how many posters /mlp/ has and how many threads the board has posted per day, just imagine if all those threads were suddenly back on /co/.
>>
>>500212
The board dies after the season is over.

I concur

It's mod's jobs to delete off-topic posting anyways
>>
>>500212
Couldn't one say the same about /vp/? I imagine it would wind up like on /v/ where there's usually no more than two Pokemon threads at a time and topics are much more general. If you'll notice a large portion of /mlp/'s threads are shitposts/shitposting threads or just low effort in general. A board cannot hold up revolving around a single tv show in the same way /vg/ threads about single singleplayer games cannot hold up with quality posts.
>>
>>497594
nicely said.

what with barneyfag's shilling being unearthed I question a lot of things.
>>
>>497594

Frankly I think the rule is outdated. It was put as an emergency bandaid when the show gained massive popularity around Season 2 (iirc.) It was actually decently tame when it first came out (I believe /co/ even enjoyed it for the most part.)

But when the fandom became too big for it's own good, people started getting annoyed that that shit was spammed on every board, so they cried to mods who thought of this emergency fix we still have today.

When it comes to removal I'd say it can be iffy, but a laxer attitude to shit like reaction images should be put in place. People shouldnt get bans for posting a reaction image because some triggered user doesn't like it. We allow tons of that kind of stuff from shows/anime of the same caliber.

Seems kinda silly to have it now that the fandom has shrunken in size considerably now that alot of people have moved on to whatever new fad show there is.

>>497594
I'd say let it go back to /co/, for now, but keep the ban on posting it elsewhere.

Like it or not, you have to admit that nothing derails a thread faster than pony posting. Well, nothing aside from posting Clarissa or that one dickvore comic. While that's somewhat the fault of people who react to it, the culpability is still on the poster, who knows exactly what he's doing.

> the culpability is still on the poster, who knows exactly what he's doing.

Then why not take away the rule, thus defeating the entire purpose of purposefully trolling. If the rule isn't there nobody can whine that he's breaking the rules, and thus they have to deal with it like LITERALLY EVERY OTHER REACTION IMAGE OF A CARTOON ON 4CHAN.

Frightening thought, I know.

>>
>>500355
That's kinda the point.
People still provoque fags doing it anyways, so what's the difference? Pony posters that want to talk about the show seriously will stick toit, and those like me that are already done with the show can go elsewhere and be free again.
You really don't know what is like to be restricted to one place with SFW conetent because autists have asthma attacks out of pony images that are perfect for reactions.
>>
>>500355
Same shit happens with Steven Universe. Are SU reaction images banned? No. Because over time people have learned to ignore bait-posters using the images to get a reaction, and most can tell the difference between an innocent reaction image use and a bait post.

I believe most people on 4chan literally don't care about ponies anymore. Hell, half of the posters on /v/ are jaded ex-bronies who quit the show after Twilicorn. At this point the fandom is so dead that if the rule were removed you'd get ponyposting for about a day or two before things returned to normal.

>>500354
>People is literally triggered by ponies, there is no explanation other than that.

The simple truth is that pony shitposters ruined ponies for everyone and you're just going to have to accept it. Hating ponies has become a meme, and an incredibly powerful one that is unlikely to fade anytime soon. You can thank faggots like Pinkus Pie and Barneyfag for that.

>Hating ponies has become a meme, and an incredibly powerful one that is unlikely to fade anytime soon. You can thank faggots like Pinkus Pie and Barneyfag for that.
It's literally been 4 years since 2012, the high-point of pony shitposting. The meme has long since faded. Most users on the sight weren't even around when the spam went down. There are only a handful of people keeping the hatred alive.

The rule no longer applies to keeping the rest of the site happy. It's simply a tool for a dedicated handful to shitpost with immunity. All memes run their course, and pony-hate is a deader meme than rickrolling and cock mongler.

People will say "Oh no, here comes Barneyfag" and then Barneyfag will come.

That's literally it. And of course the poster will get banned. These days people are more concerned with Barneyfag appearing than being mad at ponies. That's how unrelentingly toxic he is. He's singlehandedly diverted hatred away from ponies to him.
>>
>>500386
Most people don't give two fucks until barneyfag comes into the scene.
I have been in several barneyfag threads.
Most of the time some fags discuss the show or the actual thread topic ignoring him.
Others they try and understand him, and others they plainly tell him to get help and kill himself, he is impossible.
This is why I am thinking he is Bui, as this method of operating is the same he always used.

>>500389
Maybe that's his master plan, to make hating ponies seem bad by association.

To add to this, Barneyfag didn't even show up in the fucking thread and yet people were still talking about him. Once he didn't appear the thread surprisingly went on talking about graphics cards until being deleted for breaking GR15.

If it weren't for Barneyfag's sperging, people would be acclimated to seeing the odd pony image by now. In the end, he's most likely single-handedly keeping GR15 instated, which is actually quite impressive.

They already are. That's why the only real reaction you get is barneyfag.

Still, you bronies can't help but swarm the thread, hoping he will show up. That's who posts about Barneyfag - bronies (like you) looking for a reaction.

/v/ has acclimated to pony pictures - they know that people who post them are attention seekers who should be ignored.

That doesn't mean they like bronies, though.
>>
>>500399
Before the advent of Barneyfag, pony hate was still going quite strong. If his goal was to refocus hate off of mlp and onto the people who hate mlp, I'd say he's succeeding for the moment, but if he was to be removed as a factor I believe the hate would return.
>>
>>493362

Two possibilities

The first is that Barney fag starts the threads himself

The second is that he leaves booru links for people to and take an obscure image to repeat the cycle as he entertains them.
>>
>>500401
That'd actually be pretty interesting to see. Where does most of the anti-pony sperging come from? Although I'm more willing to bet that it's just Barneyfag riling people up, and pony is by now almost universally uncared about.

Think about it. It's not 2012 anymore. Ponies are no longer a fad. New meme fandoms have cropped up to take their place (FNAF, Undertale) The only thing seperating pony from other reaction images is that mods actually caved in to autists and banned it site-wide.

I think the hate has largely cooled. Removing GR15 would not only disarm Barneyfag, but actually help the site move forward on things like reaction images and stuff. The fandom isn't getting any bigger. It's time to move on.

Of course it was. He's been doing this since 2012 on /mlp/, and then moved to other boards around 2013-2014 I think. Nobody's paid attention until now, since the instances of his sperging have increased.

>but if he was to be removed as a factor I believe the hate would return.
I don't think this is true. If he left, cropped, barely pony-related OP images would no longer devolve into sperg madness. Pony images would still be banned, but a lot of the vitriol would be gone. Remember, Barneyfag literally tells the OP to die most times. I think other /v/ posters largely see ponies as a curiosity now.

Due to the nature of the site, new people are constantly coming in. Newfags don't know jack shit about what went down in 2011-2012. Most of them are genuinely confused when they see Barneyfag sperging.

>pic related

Someone has to literally explain to him what's going on. This tells me that if he weren't there constantly showboating his ancient grudge, people would eventually move on. A picture holds no tales...it's the actual people who continue to harbor grudges. Punish the people, not the images.

In fact, that's the main problem I have with the pony fandom. You insert yourselves into fucking everything and you demand to be accepted where you are neither relevant nor wanted. I know other fandoms do that shit too, and I find Rick&Morty fans annoying for the same reason, but bronies are by far the most aggressive about putting everything into pony format.

Your argument could apply to literally any other reaction image.

Why use an K-ON pic when some people haven't seen it?
Why use a Jimmy Neutron pic when some haven't seen it?

Because this is 4chan, and if you lurk you'll get it. This is how it is with any other SFW cartoon image. I think it's time for ponies to join those ranks.
>>
>>500424
Usually those reaction images are not intended to identify the user as part of a fandom. MLP images do.

Similar rules are used with furries and furry images.
>>
>>500424
Most people on 4chan have played video games, so references to video games are usually recognized.

Most people on 4chan have watched television, so jokes and images such as Gordon Ramsey telling off some shitty cook are widely recognized and appreciated.

Most people on 4chan have listened to music, and music is, I would argue, part of humanity in general, so music is appreciated.

Not all that many users have watched mlp.

It's as simple as that. Your content isn't relatable.

What about Undertale pictures? Anime pictures? Homestuck pictures? Your argument is flawed. There are many other pictures that identify one as part of a fandom.

And all of those have various levels of dislike across 4chan and have had mods act to prevent their shitposting. MLP is the same way - it's just one of the most hated.
>>
>>500434
>You just want to be able to post images that you find funny because you find them funny, not because you think other people will find them funny.
I think others will find certain MLP pics funny. A lot of them look like any other cropped cartoon reaction image. Unlike you, most people don't get angry over seeing a pony, especially those new to the site.

The same way a Panty and Stocking image might please a PaSWG fan and nobody flips their lid, ponies can be the same way. GR15 is the main thing keeping that from happening. Even Barneyfag said he mostly does it because it's against the rules.
>>
>>500435

Undertale fans have a tenuous relationship with /v/, at best. And they're often called out, much in the same way mlp images used to be.

Ponies have their own board on 4chan. How are they not apart of it's culture? Does it not count because you don't like it?

Even moot called it "one of the largest subcultures in 4chan's history". The creator of the entire site seems to disagree with you.
>>
>>500442
That board came along with a rule barring you from posting its images on other boards. How much do you really thing moot respected you?
>>
>>500442
moot was, is, and always will be, a giant faggot. What he should have done was state the truth in that first post - that /mlp/ was a fucking containment area for you and people like you. The only culture you're a part of is the culture of being so hated you got your own little mud pit to roll around in so you'd stop slinging your shit everywhere else.
>>
>>500438
None of those images are banned. You might get a bit of shit for posting them, but none of those images have a sitewide rule still instated 6 years after their original media came out.

I'm not asking for the entire sight to love ponies. It's just nuts that a SFW picture of a cartoon horse from one particular show is treated like child porn. I think it's time for the rule to be done away with, and for ponies to just be regular old reaction images. Most of the current hate comes from the GR15 baiting, not the actual pony spam from 2011. Removing the rule will take away the stigma.
>>

So is no one going to respond to this?
And don't even try the "well mlp IS television so hurdedurr" argument.

>>500442
It has a very confusing history, when the pony shitposting began there was a lot of evidence that it was a planned shitposting effort by an IRC group. I wish I had saved the images because I had taken that knowledge for granted when it all started.

Based on the style of shitposting on /b/ in which smug horses were posted in threads with links telling everyone to move to the thread, It did not seem like a genuine fanbase and simply a shitposting effort captializing on how effective it was at pissing 4chan off.

When people I knew in real life became "bronies" I told them that the "fanbase" was just a massive online shitposting effort and figured that it these real life "fans" were just a result of 4chans tendency to indirectly influence shit. Turns out I was wrong and a massive fanbase of autists made it reality, I was left unsure of exactly what happened.

Some people say the shitposting effort was a result of ponys being removed from /co/ but it was just so organized I find it hard to believe.
>>
>>500447
Folks in this thread are smart enough to ignore shitposting.
>>
>>500445
>Removing the rule will take away the stigma.

The stigma is not because of the rule. It's the character of bronies themselves and their monomania over their children's cartoon that gives you the stigma, on 4chan and elsewhere.

>>500448
>Some people say the shitposting effort was a result of ponys being removed from /co/ but it was just so organized I find it hard to believe.

Well remember, the original fandom sprung up on /co/ during the early days of 2011. Interest was kicked up by an article that came out in 2010 titled "The End of the Creator-Driven Era in TV Animation" that used the upcoming MLP show as an example that corporate-funded toy commercials were taking over.

http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/the-end-of-the-creator-driven-era-29614.html

/co/ saw this article and began to discuss it, since they're arguably huge animation fans. Then threads reacting to the first episode came out, with many people surprised that they actually liked it. My Little Pony General was formed. You can read the archives of the threads going back to 2010 here.

http://mlpg.co/hyperindex/index10.html

From there it spread to /b/, and that's when shit hit the fan. Because MLP is a girl's show and up until that point had been a pretty shit franchise, most /b/tards were confused about people liking it. Trolls realized that this could be used to their advantage and began spamming the shit out of it. While the pony fans on /co/ were trying to contain themselves to a single thread, even going so far as to create a marker system to police themselves, the fans on /b/ went apeshit. The blowback from this combined with people on /co/ getting tired of seeing a pony general on the board fueled the creation of /mlp/.

By this time ponies had crept outside of 4chan, just like Pepe has recently, and the larger fandom grew. And now here we are.

So long story short, fandom was genuinely into the show, trolls used it as ragebait, mods panicked and made /mlp/ instead of dealing with the spam in another way, and now we're having this argument.
>>
>>500439
Look, I have been imprisoned in that shitposting board for so long, I would even promise to behave myself.
I am reformed, and I regret participating in the shitposting back then.
>>
The whole tone of this thread is that "bronies aren't actually widely disliked; it's just a few people".

What happens when you are confronted with evidence to the contrary? What happens when a dozen people in a thread tell you to kill yourself, brony? Do you:

>Not reply, knowing it was inevitable
>Reply angrily with an MLP reaction image, hoping for more of the same?

This question has a demonstrated answer that much of 4chan is familiar with.

You can't punish an entire board of people for the actions of a few people. Moot himself has stated that those who post pony bait outside of the board by and large don't actually visit /mlp/.

Let me get this straight, though. The people who bait are in the wrong and I wish they would stop. Nothing good comes of it, and they're just as guilty of Barneyfag of breaking the rules. They aren't better than he is. They're rulebreakers and should be punished.

But to blame an entire board, no and entire fandom on a few trolls is laughably simple-minded. That's like blaming /a/ everytime someone posts a smug anime girl. That would be retarded to do.

The admins know this as well. For a while there /mlp/ had a sticky stating that the people who post on /mlp/ by and large aren't responsible for pony spam and just want to talk pony in peace. Why do you still try to blame the entire fandom despite these facts?

The trouble is that we all saw when /mlp/ was created, the pony spam on boards like /b/ stopped instantly.

I saw with the /b/ phenomenon that really the threads were kept up by a small core of really poisonous psychos, while a thousand easily-influenced but less malicious bronies went along with the ban evasion.

That's the tone of moot's post, in my opinion. "Please will you carry out your activities on this board and not in support of these shitposters?"

Still though, the very nature of the fandom inspires attention seeking. "Look at me, I'm a a fan of something not made for my age group!" Bronies as a whole seem to have a lot to prove and you can see it in this thread.

Of course the pony spam stopped. Every single pony image was banned at once. And this happened BEFORE /mlp/ was created.

>I saw with the /b/ phenomenon that really the threads were kept up by a small core of really poisonous psychos, while a thousand easily-influenced but less malicious bronies went along with the ban evasion.
Most pony fans moved to /mlp/, leaving behind the spamming psychos. You're correct on this point.

>Still though, the very nature of the fandom inspires attention seeking. "Look at me, I'm a a fan of something not made for my age group!" Bronies as a whole seem to have a lot to prove and you can see it in this thread.
This has nothing to do with GR15 and is just you projecting. I'd really like to have a nice discussion with you on the rules but the tone of your posts keep slipping into subtle insults. What you think the nature of the fandom is doesn't matter.

Nobody has anything to prove. We're just talking about how some people are using GR15 to destroy threads because of baiting and some dumb "war on ponies" that's no longer needed or relevant. As it is, all pony fans seem to want is the ability for their images to be treated like anybody else's. As it is now, they actually get special treatment. If bronies wanted to be unique snowflakes as you seem to be implying, why would they advocate for their special global rule to be demolished?

While there are some people that "jump to cry and defend themselves", there are others who just want that autist to fuck off, and he's said himself that he'd leave if GR15 was removed.

That's really hard for me to believe, but considering the lack of any sensible reason to continue to enforce rule 15, the chance to get rid this ban-evading shitposter is worth the possible flood of MLP to me.

Most of 4chans trolling is externally focused. On whatever lol cow is of the moment.
Bronies focused their trolling inward towards 4chans users, and quickly earned themselves a bad reputation and a global rule against them.

Now bronies like you apparently can't comprehend why nobody likes you. "lol I trol u, why don't you like us?" Well because you try way too hard to fit in here?

It's like you had a group of friends and an annoying fat guy who can never get the hint. You're ribbing your friend with a joke and fat guy jumps in with his own insult and goes "HAHA I JOKE TOO, AM I WELCOME?"

>>501064
Like many people in this thread, you're implying every brony is the same person and that's plain stupid. I don't assume everyone who likes anime has a plethora of body pillows and posters of their favorite anime characters. Surely the majority just enjoy watching and talking about their shows.

Same with bronies, you get "lol trold" a few times by people who can't take it back and just assume that everyone else that likes MLP is like that. As I said before, that's stupid, all you're being exposed to is the retarded minority that decides to venture outside /mlp/ and talk shit. Most people leave the ponyshit at the door.

And yes, bronies can be assholes too. Just like people from /v/, /x/, /h/, /k/, whatever board you look to, there's always a cunt or several hanging around, but gun talk isn't banned on all boards, paranormal shit, video game shit, none of that's banned either.

Frankly, I don't care if you like me or not, I have things/people who like those things I don't like. The difference is that I'm able to differentiate between the asshole minority, and the tolerable majority, and treat things I don't like with enough respect to ignore them.

You're really focused on revenge and teaching someone a lesson for the social rejection they have inflicted on you. Who wants some perpetually wounded manchild in their community? Nobody.

Then why did you write all that shit?

I don't care about how unique a brony you are. I don't believe you because I have seen how stereotypical bronies are and how much they want to be perceived as unique, creative people.

Funny thing too, no brony ever seems to call out the shitty behavior of other bronies. That's always someone else's fault.
>>
>>501082
>but people like you saw these people enjoying something weird

No what actually happened is that bronies couldn't stop acting like huge attention whores and shoving MLP down everyone's throats.
>>
>>501084
>>501085
See >>501082.

What it sounds to me like what you want to do with that "community" of yours is shit on/laugh at people that you find amusing and then act like they're the worst people in the world when they respond in kind. You get out what you put in. At some point in this it has to stop.

I'm willing to stop. The question is, are you? Is the rest of 4chan?

>>501088
>Funny thing too, no brony ever seems to call out the shitty behavior of other bronies. That's always someone else's fault.

Yeah, which is why /mlp/ fucking constantly is full of threads talking about people who are shitty even though it isn't the fucking job of a fandom to police itself. Where in the hell did that expectation come from?

jesus christ grow the fuck up.

hoinestly the people who seem to be the most obsessed with bronies and how they behave at this point is fucking anti-bronies. bronies at this point are so wound up they go out of their way to make sure they don't act like bronies

people like you are the reason bronies have any level of negative reputation because you can't fucking let go and grow up. you call them all manchildren when you are having a giant fucking tantrum because they want to post fucking image macros.

grow the fuck up and get over your fucking hang up

And finally,

Now back to you,
>I have seen how stereotypical bronies are
Considering the above, I don't believe you. Between the two of us, I have the most experience with these people, and, as I mentioned a few times, there are assholes, but for the most part, they're just members of a fandom like any other members of a fandom.
>They want to be perceived as unique, creative people
I just like a cartoon and talk about it sometimes, much like most people on /mlp/
>>
>>501091
>What it sounds to me like what you want to do with that "community" of yours is shit on/laugh at people that you find amusing

That's how communities work. They set their own standards. They choose who is welcome and who is unwelcome. And as it turns out a lot of people are unwelcoming to bronies.

Nobody is obligated to accept you.
>>
>>501091
>which is why /mlp/ fucking constantly is full of threads talking about people who are shitty even though it isn't the fucking job of a fandom to police itself.

You mean cringe threads?
Get real, that's about pumping yourselves up and feeling like you're not as bad as other bronies.
I've never seen bronies go "hey fuck all bronies who shove MLP down everyone's throats". On the contrary you all love it, and tell yourself persecuted tales whenever you see bronies getting shat on for that bad behavior

That's not how a fandom works at all. It's people who like a TV show and want to talk about it, not a fucking religious order.

And on the same token, people who you don't accept aren't obligated to just sit there and take it. And if you really don't care, why do you care about them doing it?

>>501107
That happens too. What do you think makes up a large part of cringe threads? And pretty much every board on 4chan thinks they're better than non-4chan sects of their interest groups.

You're putting a lot of weight behind this "behavior" thing. Maybe what you're dealing with isn't a hivemind or a monolith.

>>501112
Both the people who bait Barneyfag and Barneyfag himself need to be range banned. Saying that right now. They're wrong when they do what they do.

Are you retarded?

Of course I'm not going to admit to doing something I don't do. Why? Because I don't fucking do it.

>That's not how a fandom works at all.

Never mentioned fandoms. But now that you mention it, fandoms tend to attract shitty people because of a low barrier to entry. "You like thing? Welcome to the fandom!"

Real communities and social groups have social standards and aren't so blindly accepting out of mutual neediness.
And that's what you bronies are hurt about. You're hurt because the rest of society doesn't blindly accept you like the fandom does, and you want that to change.
Well, that isn't going to happen. It certainly isn't going to happen if you get in a huff every time your fandom is criticized.
>>
>>501116
But do you ever call it out when others do it?
Course not. You think it's good.

Look, I agree with you. But we need to obey the rules as they are here. You shouldn't be doing what you are doing. We can discuss you being able to do what you're doing posting that in here, sure. But don't just do it.

You're right, but you didn't need to post that pic. It lessens your argument, sadly. Maybe one day it won't. But again, that day isn't today.

>>501129
4chan is hardly "the rest of society." All I really want to do is use funny face reaction images. I don't ask for anything else, though I also do not speak for anyone but myself. I hardly think I am in a huff, but oh well.

I don't even see why it's an issue, Pepe's and Smug anime faces derail even harder than ponies at this point and pepe's are posted with the knowing intent of derailing a post and making people angry. And yet some how a pony is somehow more offensive

It is part of it. 4chan thinks bronies are creeps much the same as wider society thinks bronies are creeps.

Anyway, I would say it doesn't matter. The fact that they willingly call themselves bronies is evidence enough that you're wrong.
>>501153
Maybe read the thread before you call someone else deluded, yeah?
>>
All I want to do is post pony images. Not asking you to see me as normal, not asking for acceptance. Just posting images, and not even discussing the show. I'd go to /mlp/ for that. Just like how if I wanted to actually discuss anime I would go to /a/ or if I wanted to discuss Pokemon, /vp/. But I'm free to use those off of their respective boards.

>>501153
I think we're at an impasse here. Whatever is said you're just going to accuse the other side of being in denial so your characterization of them as the problem remains true.
>>
>>501154
>What is it with you retards and generalization?

What is with you being such a special snowflake that I must acknowledge how unique you are in every post? Lay off the conceit for a moment - this is an anonymous message board.

Besides, if you don't want to be grouped in with other bronies then don't leap to their defense so readily.

no one is wanting you to ackowledge them as a special snowflake, you are projecting.

>>501157
>What is it with you being such a special snowflake
So is that it? Either you're a hivemind or you're a special snowflake? Yeah, nah, I'd say you're just a retard spouting shit without thinking.
>leap to their defense so readily
You're making it easy by being stupid.

Anyway, what I'm doing is called "arguing", that's what you do in a debate.
>>
>>501156
>All I want to do is post pony images

To the extent that you don't want to post anything else.
Nobody wants to hang out with a guy who can only talk about one topic.

You want to post pony images to endlessly agitate people on other boards. Look at how you can't leave Barneyfag alone - you'd behave the exact same way to anyone else who criticized you.

Something you bronies might not know is that manipulative, dishonest people always try to feed you a sob story about how everyone is against them. And there's been quite a bit of that kind of pity party going on in here.
We can tell you're dishonest people because you can barely contain your glee at the prospect of pissing off barneyfag when you claim to be such victims.

Uh, no. If someone tells a joke or shows something that is really funny, I have an image of a pony laughing that fits what I think about the situation. Same if someone posts something weird/disgusting/etc. I'm not trying to sway the discussion to it, I'm using an image to express my reaction to something. You know, a reaction image.

I'm annoyed as fuck by Barneyfag and the people who feed him partially because their shit behavior means I can't do what I described in the paragraph above. You've chosen to ignore that and portray me as someone eager to go out on a vengeful streak when in fact I agree with you. I assume this is related to an earlier experience you had with a pony fan. Won't mean much, but I apologize for that bad experience.
>>
>>501177
Your assumptions are wrong and you don't seem to have a grasp of the concept of "proof". Google it, learn something

If you think that people that like something are either exactly the same or are special snowflakes, you're just plain retarded. I'm sure you like things, I'm sure other people that like things are different from you. Are you a special snowflake? If you answer no, you're a hypocrite as well as a moron.

I don't care if you criticize me or any other brony, what I care about is you acting like the bullshit claims you make are true when they are very obviously not.

You wouldn't happen to be Barneyfag would you? He's the only one I know that can ignore logic as well as you are now.
>>
>>501181
Well it's kind of happened in the past, you know? Bronies are kinda known for their monomania over MLP. One might say it's their defining trait.
>>
>>501191
you're projecting again.

>>501191
>ALL BRONIES ARE/DO X
That's the only argument you retards can come up with?

Maybe all anti-bronies are retards like Barneyfag?

>>501184
>I'm not trying to sway the discussion to it, I'm using an image to express my reaction to something. You know, a reaction image.

You know the rest of 4chan (and the internet) is familiar with the brony schtick, right?

You can use plenty of reaction images but you want to use MLP images because it identifies you as a brony so you can get some attention.

You realize we've seen it before, right?
You can say you don't want a reaction but we know you're lying because we've seen so much of how bronies can't leave it alone.

Once again, I refer to barneyfag. Bronies are always trying to bait him with MLP ages. They can never leave this one guy alone.
If you can't leave that alone, what are the odds you won't be able to leave it alone when others call you a fag?

Nice to know that you can read my mind and tell that I'm lying, I guess.

Again: you're ignoring how I said that both Barneyfag and the people who bait him are dumb and explicitly against what I want.

You ignore people who agree with you and insist that they're lying, so what weight am I supposed to put behind you disagreeing with anyone?

It's like talking to a brick wall with autism...

Hey retard, when are you going to get it through your empty skull that not all bronies are the same person? Does it hurt your brain to think that different people might have common interests?
>>501206
I'm sick of retards. Is it too much to ask for someone not stupid to talk to?

I'm not arguing with you because you disagree, if it was simple as that, it'd be fine. I'm arguing with you because the things you're saying are objectively wrong.

Also, nice ad hominem, really brings out your lack of intellect.
>>
I mean look at this huge fucking ass-tantrum about Barneyfag:

>>>/mlp/27125373

Get yourselves under control you psychos.
>>
Keep seeing the accusation of bronies baiting barneyfag. Anyone have 100% concrete proof that the person who is ban evading with barneyfag proficiency is a brony? Or is everyone just saying that because it fits their side of the argument?

Last I saw the guy admitting to posting all the threads said he did it to get a laugh at barneyfag's expense.
>>
>>501216
It's probably not a single guy, maybe they're bronies, maybe they're not. Either way,
>is everyone just saying that because it fits their side of the argument?
Yes.
