(Anonymous) 2013-05-18 01:55 am (UTC)(link)Both Tara and John have experience with fandom, Mr. De Lancie specifically has dealt with the Star Trek fandom for over a decade so I seriously doubt anything the bronys (Bronies? what the hell is the plural of this word) can throw at him will phase him that much. Really this is going to make me feel old, but I was in the Trek fandom pretty hardcore from the 80's to early 90's and the crap I saw at conventions was pretty shocking at the time, but I learned to deal with it over time and honestly even the stuff I see modern fandoms get up to is almost always just rehashes of I saw at conventions 20 years ago. Trust me, those crazy people were around before the internet came into being, the internet just gave them a soapbox and a spotlight to use.
While this doesn't pertain directly to the secret I am going to admit I'm getting pretty fed up with the anti-brony people who seem to have become as annoying and insistent as the rabid bronies they proclaim to despise so much. On my favorite forum hangout we've got one designated pony thread and i haven't seen a single pony topic outside that thread in the last year that wasn't posted by some poster wanting to rant about how some incredibly stupid thing obviously makes bronies the worst thing to ever happen to the internet in the history of ever. I believe the last one was a poster talking about how forum members with pony avatars counted as "shoving the fandom down his throat".
There are some bronys that need to get the hell over themselves and realize that they aren't that special, I ran into it with the Trek fandom in the 80's early 90's who thought their fandom was so unique and special and everybody in it should treat it as a lifestyle choice to base their identity around it was stupid then and it's stupid now so cut it out.
Wow that was a lot of rambling, but yeah OP they are both old hats at dealing with fans, so I seriously doubt they think all bronys are super special awesome, they just aren't a few douchenozzles ruin their fun and paychecks from the rest of the group who are just trying to have fun.

Ah'yup. It's all "the more things change, the more they stay the same". Besides, I'm pretty sure there was some just as awful goings on in the Star Trek fandom back in its heyday... but its only documentation is second-hand recounts/word of mouth.
