why do you care so much if others want a label? you don't have to use it

(Anonymous) 2013-03-05 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
and why are you so hung up on having a label? is it that important to you to have a label instead of just being a fan?

I didn't say it was?

I don't really think I'm the one who's "caring so much" in this discussion

Well...yes, I do care. I've made no attempt to hide it. I don't care if others use a label (which you certainly seem to) but I care about being able to use it for myself if I so choose, and I care about the meanings of those labels and the implications behind them.

I've been an MLP fan since childhod and yes, I do care about the fact that "bronies" needed a special word to separate themselves from the rest of the fandom.
Whenever I've talked to such "bronies" IRL they were super nice to me when I said I liked Friendship is Magic, but became really mean spirited when I remarked that I also really enjoyed G1 and G3...

That's why I started to avoid people who use that term to describe themselves. It screams too much of "look at me, I'm special for liking MLP - but no, wait! I mean the GOOD show. Not the shit that came before it. Everyone who likes that is a girly pussy and probably a faggot, haha! Love and tolerate!"

Does "pegasisters" bother you, or just "bronies"?

I've never heard it specifically used in tandem with having disdain for early generations. Personally I don't love them but I don't care if other do. I'm sorry you've had that experience, at any rate. Dealing with judgmental jerks is never fun.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
NYART, but I suspect it doesn't simply because it's not as widespread as "bronies".

(Anonymous) 2013-03-23 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Investing yourself in what strangers think of a label that isn't important in your life, yet serves as the banner for a bunch of nasty people is really rude of you.

Use it, don't use it, whatever, but coming up to people and demanding they explain themselves when they could well have been victims of those nasty people is really obnoxious.

It's not about you or whatever friends you have until you make it about you.

Not only is this comment honestly confusing but this discussion has to be at least three weeks old now.
