Another Cringe Thread About Bronies in General. (Possibly NSFW)

@Vivace  
It stopped being about the issue as soon as it becomes what Anon described. And too often, it comes down to that in topics like this. Opportunistic grandstanding an virtue signaling, people discrediting each other.  
Like an online equivalent of riotinf, looting and burning properties.

@LightningBolt  
I agree, bad is bad and that’s it. There’s no “It’s not bad when WE do it” special situations.

Now it’s normal to call people out for their shit when needed. But it’s no excuse to behave like zoo animals about it and needlessly laying wasting and collateral damage all over the place. You’ll only end up proving the guy’s point.

@Selaphiel  
The Anon situation is massively overblown, yes. With Hattsy, however, it’s pretty much declaring intent to unfollow and calling him contemptible for his actions, which isn’t unreasonable.

@Selaphiel  
If you’re not performatively calling out microaggressions, how else are you supposed to grift Patreon money to cover your rent?

Frankly I’m very disappointed in a lot of people in this case.

What really hurts is seeing folks you follow completely ragequit the fandom over the Hattsy situation. Racist assholes shouldn’t represent the fandom as a whole, and leaving now would only make things worse. Shit’s wack.

@Selaphiel  
“Damn I nearly thought racism was bad but some people were mean to me on twitter so I guess racism is good now”

@Atomic  
Assholes shouldn’t represent the fandom as a whole, period.

@Anonycat  
Problem is, people remember being wronged and betrayed more than good stuff a lot of the time.

There are 700+ comments on the image here. I assume that zero of them are worth reading.
 
 
@Commune  
You’re disingenuous here. The choice is more of ”I was going to get active fighting racism, but the Twitter anti-racist crowd is mean-spirited, so I’ll go back to apathy.”

@Commune  

 
This is (sadly) really how some people act.

@SD50-2  
Spite is a powerful feeling.

The original image is basically just a circlejerk now

and on a related note, all the shit that happened here  

 
Never before have I seen this many comments get deleted in such a short amount of time.  
or having an images comment section locked down too for that matter.

@icey wicey 1517  
I think I’ll say this here & not there: there is absolutely nothing racist about that pic. The only edit in it is a simple character swap.

@Galestorm  
Oh I know that the image I posted is not racist.
 
the comment section sure as hell was racist though.  
And homophobic.  
And transphobic :/

@icey wicey 1517  
How is that image “racist”?  
Let alone controversial?

@Selaphiel  
I wasn’t saying nor did i say that the image I posted was “racist”.
 
The comment section for it however, was racist

@icey wicey 1517
 
Yup. Shitflinging on all sides. Even a lot of the folks on Twitter who didn’t care for the original art are saying this shit is going way too far.

@icey wicey 1517  
What the fuck happened there!?
 
And it looks like things are starting to escalate on Twitter

@lonewolf  
you don’t wanna know…
 
All the artist done was replce Aryann with Nyx.  
And then the BGP’s started getting unpleasant.  
Like, REALLY unpleasent

@icey wicey 1517
 

 
Aaaand favorited.

@icey wicey 1517  
i read the comments too but I just didn’t want to end up being had at & possibly making things worse (hence why I said it here).
 
& my God, that sure is a lot of deleted comments & a lot of them seemed to be for attacking those choosing to comment. guess it’s safe to say I dodged a bullet.

Jeez here’s another one that popped up in my notifications. There’s been 7 comments deleted in the last 24 hours on this image. >>2152820
