You're goddamn fuckin' right. Reminder that this was recently in the show. Not to mention that the recent episode revolved around a pony in drag. And because I'm currently flattened and hungover from a raging 5th anniversary of the fandom party and a new episode that punched me right in the gut, I'll just repost one of my earlier comments.


As someone who's been in the MLP fandom for more than 4 5 wonderful years, (Jesus Christ...) I think this is a big reason why it hasn't fallen victim to the same kind of dismantling/infestation that other cultures have.

When other "nerd culture" kinds of things became popular, the people arriving suffered from a fundamental problem. They were in it for the wrong reasons, things like money and power. The nerds were the cool kids now and these former cool kids despised that fact. And as a result, they didn't respect or understand the culture they were trying to join. In fact, their job was now to kick the nerds out so they could be the cool kids again.

And the depressing part is that, in a lot of cases, they succeeded. As nerds, we weren't used to bring popular, so when the bullies showed up again, we fell for the mask. We thought things had really changed, only to find out that we were once again being bullied, and, even worse, being bullied on our home turf.

The MLP fandom enjoys the luxury of being "too weird". These purple see no inherent value in it. And so we get called all the modern names for "nerd", neckbeards, autists, creeps, misogynists, basement dwellers. But there's never this mass infestation like you see in other communities.

By the time the fandom got big enough for people to notice and start trying to jockey for influence, we had been burned enough elsewhere to learn our lesson. These monsters had no reason to hide their dark sides from us, and we saw them coming with the fakery a mile away. The farthest SJW's ever got in MLP was censoring one fan blog, (may you rest in peace, Molestia) and censoring a disabled character from appearing on the show. (This was reversed later, anyway.)

Bronies are not part of this new "cool nerd" bullshit. We are the new "cool geek"'s nerds and punching bags. And we are living evidence that however "nerdy" these assholes say they are, that they're nothing more than the same hateful bullies who made our lives hell in school. And that's why bronies have no problems whatsoever telling these monsters to get the gently caress out.

And guess what? We still have corporate sponsors! The people who work on the show love us! We're happy to fork over tons of money to Hasbro, because we know that they respect us as consumers. Bronies are their audience. When an official MLP comic book writer made fun of the fans a few months ago, they fired his rear end immediately.

I see in my fellow bronies everything I love about nerds. And I think other subcultures would do well to follow or example and kick these horrible people to the curb.

My guess is he knows women who have actually been raped but he believes the rapist(s) over them.

I believe it's estimated at 10% of reported rapes, which is itself estimated to be a minority.

The FBI estimates it at about 2%, whereas other crimes average to be about 8%. Keeping in mind that they estimate only 40% get reported (and far fewer get tried or do prison time), it's probably lower than 1%. Of course, a lot of people don't recognize what rape is when presented with a different wording of it, so what some people think is "crying rape" is actually just reporting it.

You have that backwards, I believe. It's not exactly recent data, but it was 8% unfounded for rape, 2% for all crimes. Page 20 of the pdf.

Wait...i, what? I'm sorry not having sex with someone because you're not attracted to them is reverse rape? How does that even work? You can't demand that people find you attractive, that's not a subjective thing that can be shamed into happening.

I'm sure the person who posted this is a really ugly, toxic person to be around and the fact they don't get laid has less to do with them being a fatty than them being just unpleasant.

This is the kind of poo poo MRAs and other shitfarts point to when talking about "SJW are destroying the world"!

You can't call someone transphobic if they don't want to sleep with you. Not wanting to have sex with you its not bigotry, you don't have a right to have sex with whomever you want, it has to be consensual both ways.

Oh god. Now you've done it. Last time someone said they weren't interested in sleeping with a trans person in pyf was a 10 page derail.

"I don't have to sleep with someone if I don't want to."
"By saying you don't want to you are implicitly agreeing that you do not consider their gender to be valid."
"Untrue. I just don't want to interact with their genitals, presuming they are the 'original model', so to speak."
"Genitals have no gender."
"Let us go both read Judith Butler."
[ten minutes later]
"That was awful."
"Agreed. Let us behold this screencap of a guy ousting himself as racist."
"Good show." [pours champagne directly onto the floor]

What the progressive liberals have done to this country is unconstitutional. As far as I can tell, there are a LOT fewer white people around and a LOT more third worlder's around. It has increased exponentially the past decade. No one is saying anything about that though.
