Then don’t, because it doesn’t. We’re deep down in a place no one who has yet to form an opinion on the issue would ever venture. My approval or disapproval has no effect whatsoever on anything, especially since I never talk about MLP with anyone outside of the fandom.
I can’t say I have enjoyed much of the time in this fandom’s company since S3 ended. I’m hanging around because I hope it’ll get better when S4 starts and people’s attention will move on to the new content.
@Justy
Let me just say, as one more point to my tl;dr:
I get where you’re coming from, believe me. It’s pretty silly because this is “just” some show for little girls, but it was just such a nice thing that sprung up at first, and organically too. Then it sorta fell apart. I mean, the fandom isn’t going anywhere, but it’s just not the same.
I dunno, I just don’t want to give up on it, because I don’t see a whole hell of a lot of other nice things out in the world for me to latch on to at the moment.
“Yeah, and terminal lung cancer is a glorified cold.”
I’m just sayin’ you compared 50% of the fandom to a guy that straight up tried to murder someone, among other outrageous, sociopathic tendencies that blow most of the worst bronies out of the water (can’t say all, seeing as he’s apparently one himself).
The real ratio matters because it harms a lot of good people by spreading the notion that we’re a bunch of mouth breathing childish assholes around the net, thus further helping confine us to fewer places where we’re welcome, and also making the world at large a shittier place because, rather than people learning to accept something weird as okay for a change, you’re just helping to reinforce the notion that weird people really are something to be shunned. Even just letting the vocal minority run rampant would do less harm than you going around declaring that “yes, we’re mostly actually like those terrible things you see”. They’re going to run rampant anyways, so you don’t need to go around providing some “inside scoop” narrative to go with it.
Not to make it sound like it all hinges on you’re approval, but it’s something that would be nice of you to consider.
Dunno? To look at pictures of ponies doing cute things, originally, I guess.
Sorry for not having a clearly defined reason for my presence here, not everyone can devote themselves to flinging dirt at a cartoon character like you do.

I couldn’t care less about the non-creative / meta-creative part of the fandom.
For every bit of level-headed support and feedback to the show’s and comic’s staff or fandom artists there’s a horde of sperglords heavily invested in their own fanon vision of the show’s universe who shit up everything, send out hate mail and abuse people in general. It doesn’t matter what the real ratio is when the vocal people become so adept at ruining things for everyone else.
Ha. Good one Mr. Larson. Might I add that you were the one who created this mess? Be quiet you expendable tool. There will be no fun allowed with Alicorn drama.
We have some issues, but saying half if the fandom is like chris-chan is a hell of a stretch. And I’m pretty sure the worst drama is from the teenage segment anyways, which is just natural.
In any case, you’re not really helping by taking a big fat dump on the fandom like that so…
I think the real question is whether the rest of the mane six die of natural causes, or if Fluttershy final snaps and convinces Twilight to enact a series of purges.
