(My only memory of the game was that there was a part where his jailor reads him a poem about his love of the color gray.)

Fable? I think it's either the first or second one.

Well, 4chan is the hellhole of the English-speaking internet, we all know that.  I lurk there periodically and it seems to keep getting worse every year.  (On the plus side, gawking at the human flotsam that makes up 4chan's user base goes a long way in making me feel better about my own life.)

Again, I don't think there is anything wrong with adults liking a "kids' show", but you must remember that 4chan upholds the concept of perverting all which they perceive to be pure and clean.  But all the Rule 34/43 stuff doesn't necessarily serve as an indictment of the whole fandom.  We're not talking about *shudder* furries here, after all.

Except the rest of 4chan hated them and got tired of putting up with their bullshit, so the behavior of the bronies is not really indicative of 4chan in general. And like I said earlier, this type of thing happened everywhere.

Also, "hellhole of the english-speaking internet'? I think you're confusing the rest of 4chan with /b/. 4chan has a ton of different boards with wildly varying cultures.

^ The irony of someone saying not to judge 4chan by /b/ and then judging all bronies by the actions of a few.

Didn't 4chan spam the fuck out of pony threads with porn and gore?

Edit:  I really think we're getting on a tangent here, and this thread should probably be split along some lines.

Uh, have you ever been to /v/ or /pol/?  Seriously, pretty much all the boards are shit now.

Even /b/ isn't that bad, sure it's pretty shit, but not as bad as people make it out to be.

Also, the poem about 'Gray' is from Fable 1.

1. I wasn't telling you not to judge 4chan. You can go ahead and judge away. i was merely correcting a factually inaccurate assumption.

2. I also wasn't judging bronies. I was explaining why large parts of the internet don't like them, which is how this tangent originally started.

Yeah, because they were being annoying for reasons stated above, and everyone else wanted them to leave. Spamming gore is pretty much what they always do to try and scare people away.

Of all the boards you could have used as examples, you use those two? Yeah, /v/ is pretty much /b/ lite, and /pol/ isn't much better.

Those three are hardly "all of the boards".

Meh.  I take anything posted on a board where you can post completely anonymously - or at least not be tied down to a username - with a grain of salt.  Really, anyone can claim to represent or be a fan of anything.  This is why Poe's Law exists.  Yeah, there are genuine fucksticks out there who will talk about things nonchalantly in places they shouldn't, but you of all people know that anyone can act like an exaggerated fuckstick to mock someone.  I mean, you're on a site that's aware of shit like Landover and all that kind of stuff.
