Anyone who calls themselves a brony defends rapists? Really? Shut the fuck up, I've been raped myself. And if you say I'm lying to support my point, which I have a feeling you will, you're the lowest of the low.

There's a lot of shit in the brony community. Not denying that at all. There is some anger directed appropriately at the shit. There's also anger directed inappropriately at people just for liking the show and that making them "weird."

[visp]

Liking the show =/= identifying as a Brony. Considering the way the Brony subculture has behaved, anyone who willingly identifies with them deserves the disapproval they receive.

To pull a Godwin, you can be a vegetarian aspiring artist who likes Wagner and not be, or associate with, Hitler.

[diet_poison]

But according to your logic, calling yourself a "vegetarian aspiring artist who likes Wagner" is tacitly associating yourself with Hitler anyway.

[visp]

Not at all. Liking something isn't the same as saying "I'm an X."

Potentially clarifying analogy:

"FiM fan" is to "brony" as "Star Trek fan" is to "Trekkie".

SA

[(Anonymous)]

Or perhaps even more aptly, as "anime fan" is to "otaku".

[(Anonymous)]

Except Trekkies are only guilty of being generally awkward, overly-enthusiatic nerds. Plus Trekkies are Trekkies because they're huge fans of the show. Bronies are bronies because 'ooh, look at me! I'm a dude who likes a little girls show!'.

[diet_poison]

Except that's what brony generally means. It means, "I like MLP [and I'm male, unless I'm using it in a gender-neutral way]"

[(Anonymous)]

It's what it used to mean. Now it has taken on a connotation of unsavory (usually male) fan of the show. Even many legit fans don't want to use the term for that reason.

[diet_poison]

I'm not going to argue that the connotation isn't there. It is. But I like to think people are more intelligent and less knee-jerky than to assume it's a universal definition. The only real definition I have seen is the one I mentioned. Enough bronies aren't even involved in online fandom that I think it's silly to apply that connotation to all of them.

[fuchsiascreams]

So the difference is only the difference between liking something and giving yourself a nickname because you like something? I just don't understand the point you're trying to make. Usually I agree with the things you post on here (as far as I can remember), but this doesn't even make sense.

[visp]

"brony" has a lot of shitty behavior implied. "I like MLP" doesn't have the same implications.

[fuchsiascreams]

I guess I just don't understand the difference. I've only ever seen "brony" used in reference to men who watch MLP.

[(Anonymous)]

wow there are not even words to describe how wrong and fucking gross this comment is.

[diet_poison]

lol, okay? I'm not the one who came up with that analogy, I was just running with it.

[(Anonymous)]

how is that any different from the comment that diet_poison even responded to in the first place
