Hey TTG, It's quite obvious that this post will not end the wars between bronies and nonbronies (I know there are those who don't mind bronies, this was just a generalization). However, I hope the video below helps clear up some streriotypes people have against bronies. Although I can agree that there are those bronies who can be annoying, and some that can even fit the steriotypes mentioned, but you can't really hate everyone that likes the show because of the minority. This post wasn't made to have a big war in the comments about who is right. This is only to help clear up some steriotypes.



I will admit that I am a brony myself, but I am not here to have an argument with anyone who is against being one. Although I may not agree with them all, I will respect any opinions shared.

OTHER BRONIES: please do NOT start a war with anyone in the comments who may post "hate". That's not the point of this and all it does is make the brony fanbase as a whole look bad.

The following 4 users thanked Michiko for this useful post:

Eris (09-15-2013), Kagura (09-13-2013), TaigaAisaka (09-13-2013), Morf (09-13-2013)

I am going to point out that this is going to lead to a ton of hate, I see it happening.
On the reasoning behind watching the show, its well animated and feelgood, why not watch something that makes them happy?

I am going to ask a favor from everyone here to not be a douche and have to have a respectful debate please, I'd like to hear opinions not hate, I see a lot of topics like this get hate for no reason.

What's all your opinions?

Believe me, I am expecting hate, but that's just how the internet can be. I am really glad that you posted this, as more people need to be like you on the internet. I am trying to take this kind of road as opposed to starting pointless wars that lead to nothing.

Don't see no reason to hate it only just figured out what bronies are now after all this time I've been wondering what bronies meant so thanks for that and tbh it's peoples opinions to hate or like the show I don't see the need to force other people to hate or like the show that's my opinion anyway but i guess some people have no respect for other peoples opinions these days.

To me, any flame war is stupid. So you don't like what one person likes, doesn't mean you flame them for it. As long as the person who is enjoying whatever they want/like, they shouldn't be bothered with it by being flamed by someone.

I personally don't care for the hate I get for being a Brony, but I will stand up for what I like. I don't flame people who don't like it, I just ask them why hate on what others like especially if they don't understand, simple. Sometimes I will get into the topic if people are going at it, and that's for both sides, but I don't flame people for what they like or what they hate.

Well coming from my point of view wars on the internet are pointless and stupid.

Now what I'd ideally like to see is a topical debate on this subject rather than people just hating over a subject they have low knowledge of. I'd kindly like to find out peoples opinion and not just hear hate.

As for people like me on the internet, I am no where near special, just hate hate and like debating over arguing.

Okay, after watching your video I still feel the same way.
I am not the one sitting there watching the show. I don't care what you watch. Feel free to watch whatever you like.

On the other side most people bring all the attention to themselves. People don't go out of the way to say "oh I hate mlp". It's always the other way around. Bronies(not all) always are the ones that bring it up and wonder why people think they're weird. I mean you're watching a pony cartoon show that's audience was originally supposed to be for little girls. /just sayin'

Besides why would you care what someone else thinks of a show that they probably have never seen?

I just wanted to post this because although there are those who may just genuinely not like the show, there seems to be many that hate bronies just to hate bronies, if that makes sense. Kind of like hopping on the bandwagon. Again, I'm not saying all who dislike bronies or mlp are like this, it's just a generalization. I feel that they shouldn't really judge the show unless they try it, but that's just my opinion.

Well my point was that there are many people that may dislike the fanbase as a whole because there are those who choose to be more open about it than what may seem socially acceptable. If they don't like the show, I don't mind, that's not the point of this. It's just to help clear up some steriotypes against bronies that people seem to think is true about every brony when it isn't.

Also, PLEASE don't think I agree with everyone in the brony fanbase. In fact, I dislike some of the fanbase for the very same reasons you do.

There's no way I would watch my little pony but other people can do whatever they want there's no reason to hate. If you don't like it don't watch it.
