Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Lets go with the My Little Pony example. I've seen people here argue that by using the term Brony you are choosing to support the most gross fans, and are partially responsible for rape apologism.

And that the 'average fans' aren't doing enough to distance themselves or shout down the really terrible minority.

Eh. That's like saying calling yourself a Trekkie is making you complicit with weird 7 of 9 porn.

The fact is the term Brony has gotten beyond the fandom. An adult who admits to liking the show is going to be called that regardless of self-affiliation.

Who the hell is talking about "rape apologism" in the context of MLP? I must be out of the loop.

This douchenozzle.

I'm sorry, but that's like saying everyone who is a fan of A Catcher in the Rye without explicitly decrying murder is an apologist for Mark Chapman because he was a big fan of the book before he killed John Lennon.

that's not a very good comparison o___o

Yeah. I don't see a lot of people blaming Lennon for Chapman shooting him.

Well, obviously the situations aren't identical, but how is the difference relevant to fandom? The girl, unlike Chapman, was victim-blamed, therefore fandom should be held responsible for it because....? Your logic doesn't make sense.

Frankly, I don't think it reflects on the fandom as a whole, but, an organized group of MLP fans defended their fandom buddy by blaming the victim.

There was no organized group of CitR fans who blamed Lennon for his shooting.

Only Mark Chapman is a reprehensible human being in the case of the Lennon shooting. Max Veers and all his victim-blaming friends are reprehensible human beings in that case.

The analogy doesn't work at the most basic of levels.

Oh please, I'm sure there were plenty of people who cheered that Lennon died. I'm sure plenty of people who were fans of A Catcher in the Rye cheered that a "phony" died. It just wasn't organized like it is today. And what's more, the other bronies other than his scumbag friends have absolutely jack-shit to do with what happened.

So, no, blaming bronies in general for what one asshole who just so happened to be a brony did is bullshit.

Did you even read the story?

It's not just one person.

It's a whole group of people who made it their goal to harass this girl.

Your analogy is rotten to the core.

Nope.
