I'm narrow-minded because I.. hate bigotry and generally hate bigots? I think I'm okay with that kind of narrow-mindedness.

Just wanted to give you some honest feedback, because I really care about the causes you're talking about but I think you may do more harm than good.

Surely I have never heard this argument before, ever, anywhere, and it is in no way an obvious attempt to delegitimize someone's argument because they get angry. (http://birdofparadox.wordpress.com/derailing-for-dummies-google-cache-reconstruction/#angry)

And I don't think you are always right, but anyone who dares to disagree with you tends to get shat on.

People who defend bigotry should be shat on. I'm sorry, should I play nicely with people who think it's totes okay if someone wants to be part of a group that sends rape threats to women over a children's cartoon show?! Who think that ableist slurs aren't ableist because they say so? Who blatantly defend a group whose very name is offensive even in the face of overwhelming evidence of their mass disgusting behavior?

Which sucks because I believe the way to a better world is people having an open mind and being honest with each other.

Yada, yada, never dare to get angry, etc., whatever.

You know, here's the thing: I know I don't have all the answers. I don't expect everyone to agree with me all the time. But on really blatantly disgusting and offensive shit? Yeah, I stand my fucking ground. And considering the amount of misogyny, homophobia, racism, transphobia and ableism in the "brony" subculture, that's one of the grounds I hold because I think it's fucking important to deal with them, and to acknowledge the shit they do and not excuse them because "oh, I have this one friend who's a brony and THEY'VE never sent rape threats!" IT DOESN'T MATTER. The overwhelming majority of that group are bigots. Bigots piss me the fuck off. Sorry if you don't agree that groups full of bigots should be opposed. Not at all sorry that you have problems with minorities expressing anger at said groups full of bigots.
