Planet Minecraft

wonderful post made by bloodstorm there, excellent points and reasoning.

i do agree that some of us bronies do need to cool it, we dont have to flaunt it, or post reaction images all the time. we can keep more secluded to our own forums and websites (though as you point out, people shouldn't flip out at the meer mention or sign of MLP)

i guess part of the pestering comes from us wanting people to try this thing we found to be wonderful, so we tell others about it and ask them to try it. im one of the bronies who tends to GENTLY approach people with it, only when it's relevent and not imposing, but i really do want to see other peoples reaction to it and see if theyll like it. i do not however get up in arms when people claim not to like it, which is fully understandable. however, i do tend to appose people who openly claim "it sucks" and "its terrible," which is different to just "i dont like it." i often ask for reasoning or examples of what makes it bad (it suggests that it's void of quality and appeal. for example, im not a fan of much anime, but im not going to say anime sucks because i can easily see it's appeal and quality.) though i do not resort to insults or bashing.

on the part of society judgeing us, that's understandable, but not something that SHOULD happen. It is just ignorant and unacceptable to judge a group of people just because they do not conform to the expectations of others. i can totally see why people would find it creepy, which is fine and understandable, but it so often leads to people making accusations and insults toward us. people often attack OUR fandom and do things to us because of the fact that we like the show. now it's not like we're going to hatch some sort of revolutionary movement out of this (that's kinda silly), but we shouldn't have to take this aggression lying down.

but anyways, again a wonderful post, relevent and reasonable points for BOTH sides.

Well, I know how it feels to be a bit of the outcast because people don't understand why you like something that is a bit unusual. It isn't what it used to be since Transformers became mainstream with the 3 movies, but when I was in high school I got judged by people because of my collecting. People either looked past it and accepted me for it or the made fun and distanced themselves form me. Either way, it was no skin off my back. The people who accepted it became very good friends and I was thankful for them. Those that didn't turned out to really be people I didn't want to associate with in the first place.

Their hate didn't make me stop enjoying my hobby.

(Same could be said about how I was big into the Viva Pinata game in High School)

Well said bloodstorm and thereasan.
BUT why didn't many people listen to this: http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/an- ... in-coming/

or this: http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/epic-rant-response/

Nice opinions bros. Much of this is true and it's good to realize. This is the way it should be, not a flame war.

To Rageman and Marioman:

It's simple, WHY would you feel the need to post a thread about how you don't like MLP?

I don't like brussel sprouts, Nazis, people who drive really slow in the fast lane, anything in the Twilight series... but I don't feel the need to post about it.

If you don't like MLP, don't bother reading the threads. You have the choice, the Bronies ALWAYS post either the words "My Little Pony," "Bronies," or "MLP" in the title of their threads, so you KNOW what you're getting into when you start... and even if you don't, just stop reading. I read less than 1% of the posts on the whole forum. I only read the stuff in the moderator rooms, anything that catches my attention in the newest 20 reel and anything that is flagged on the lists. Be more selective and your whole MLP related issues can be dealt with.

i never said anything about starting a thread, i said if i say "i don't like MLP" i'll get swarmed with "join the heard mario, join us!" by a crap-ton of people, and i find it annoying. this is why i left the super mario world hacking community.

This thread is getting off track don't you think?

I think everything needing said has been.

Ooooh Twilight..... I can't for the life of me figure out how that is one of the number one movies. On topic, also Bronies aren't really the only ones that put bronies, mlp, etc in their topic posts. I have seen topics that had bronies or the like in the title that were more of posts dedicated to start flaming and the like. That being said I more of like the shrugging pony internet meme.... I have seen some of the episodes, and most of them seem fine to me, even though the voices of the youngling ponies do annoy me so.

I find the show boring and rated for children. Though I do see how it can appeal to more internet based people.

I do like some of the youtube dubs, and this one animation when the pony with the hat eats all those apples and goes on a acid trip. I thought that was hilarious.

Yet you still troll me with the pony that does tap dancing...

*Hugs Tharesan* :3

Answering your question about twilight, it feeds into peoples desires. you have the instance of the girl in the most perfect position (being fought over by 2 beautiful, near flawless, supernatural men who are unrealistically infatuated with her to the point of obsessing and fawning over her every whim and need) and this girl has has the most angstiest, neediest, most pathetic personality (complaining and brooding on everything), and instead of getting a good boot to the head (like how she deserves in a normal circumstance) she's the center of attention for everything. This combination of personality and position is so UNBELIEVABLY unrealistic that it could only work in a psychosis induced, surreal piece of writing. But because it is played out as being DESIRABLE to acting like that people just eat it up. it doesn't help either that it is played in such an emo tone.

it fulfills that fantasy so many women have, and is the primary key to the movies success.

and on the ponies thing, for me i was rather repulsed by the whole notion of watching ponies (because most girly things are just so terrible) and the voices/music did bother me quite a bit at first. But after warming up to the characters (because of the well written dialogue and charming/well developed personalities, and overall wonderful quality of the show), i'v actually come to adore their cute little voices and i giggle with joy at the sound of a new song lol.

it's just so funny.....my perception has been completely shattered at what is watchable and what isn't, and damn does it make me happy lol.
