I will concede however, that Bronies have some of the worst FANS, as individuals, but just because they lowered the bar doesn't mean everybody hangs out at that level.

Wait. Wat?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 05:32 am (UTC)(link)Naturally, hundreds of bronies jumped to his defense the moment this came out.

Like I said, I think the bar is sadly a bit lower in this fandom then many. But the dregs are still that: the dregs.
As said above and something I can anecdotally contribute to: I've yet to meet any actual bronies such as this. And hope to never do so.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
I'm glad you found a nice pocket. The rest as complete scumbags.

Lucky. I can count on one hand the number of bronies I've met who weren't complete asshats.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 01:51 am (UTC)(link)idk, I think the worst section of bronies I've seen were always on image dump booru sites or whatever. (not image boards mind you, though some of them on mlpchan can be douchey mic nit-picks)

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 03:57 am (UTC)(link)I and the MLP fans I know would be more likely to break his face in than actually *gagpukecough* support him. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other older MLP fans (including the adult females yes we exist) resented him for what he did and for giving the rest a bad name. (I'm normally a pushover who's about as assertive as a soft cuddly bunny. but if confronted with that guy I'd probably get myself a murder charge. :/)

(Anonymous) 2012-11-23 02:07 am (UTC)(link)But anyway, every fandom has their weirdoes and creepos. But not everyone is like the weirdos and creepos and you can call out the bad ones without telling most of the rest of fandom off for something they didn't do. It's not like other fandoms have never done some awful unacceptable shit. Like Harry Potter Potter fandom, there was a subset of people who sent the author death threats for the epilogue. and don't get me started on the creepy bashing fics (like that one where Hermione magically makes Ron rape himself because the nutso author thinks he's some kind of irredeemable person for being a blunt and sometimes tactless teenage boy.)
Or the stuff that goes on in DP fandom...like the horrific fanwars and the fandom crusaders who take some requests of the author and then go wild attacking people for referencing anything even kind of adult (even if the character is an adult and...um a fucking villain.)
I'm not defending what that guy did, it was horrible and gross and wrong in every way. But his supporters are not the entire fandom or even all of the bronies. Some people just picked up brony as a nickname for MLP fans.

Bronies are some of the nicest people, indeed.
In all seriousness, I get that they're not all bad people, but you are familiar with the old saw about one (or more) rotten apple(s) ruining a whole barrel, right?

I love the show. I'm an unrepentant fan of it. I've made fanart. (8 pictures because a silly joke occurred to me, and I had to do a series based around it.)
But...
The fandom in general is scary, d00d. Navigating around the porn (humanized, anthropomorphic, and show-accurate), the gross-out shock fics/art (Cupcakes et al), the wank, and the general creepy - and, yes, the entitlement - is so hard to do that I've given up trying to discuss the show with any but a small group of my friends in an otherwise non-Pony place...
Maybe, maybe the good ones outnumber the freaks in actual numbers, but the freaks are louder by several orders of magnitude.
