That could mean a temple to love, friendship, calm or perspective.
Am I the only one who thought "pony temple" when I read this?
I vote we take over and turn it into a temple to ponies.
PONY WORLD DOMINATION!!!

Sorry, haven't let my inner brony out in a while.

If there is anything that could make me accept Jesus as my Lord & Savior, it would have to be that the alternative is being lorded over by cheaply animated fluorescent cartoon ponies.
-
I agree with Lithp.
-
At least no one is carrying signs that say “Celestia Hates Fags.â€Â
Sorry, haven't let my inner brony out in a while.
I tend to assume a person with a Rainbow Dash fighter pilot avatar has more than enough outer brony to make up for any perceived lack of inner brony.

Well I mean I don't talk about it in public and off the internet.

Given how prevelent the Brony fandom is, I bet I could find someone.

I don't know, dude. One of their feet is hollow. And firecrackers are readily available enough. Seems pretty silly to be afraid of something I probably at one point got drunk and blew up.

I said nothing about fear.

Only a matter of time, boys... join the Herd, it's not so bad. We don't bite!

I think he's referring to the MLP thread for that.

Bronies got Depy Hooves made canon. We can do anything.

I have no idea what you're talking about because I live in the real world, where no one cares about dashing rainbows or whatever.
-
I swear, MLP carries subliminal "derail all the threads" messages.

Despite the fact I don't watch that show, I know exactly what he meant.
Them bronies are everywhere, is what I'm getting at.
Wasn't this thread about a guy saying a thing about another thing? I forget.

Take comfort in the fact that this My Little Pony fad should burn itself out in a few months. These things always do (and thank fuck for that).

Just going to quietly second this, and the fact that a temple is a retarded idea. Now, a library dedicated to preserving all forms of literature and history (particularly those that fuckheads try to burn), that could be cool.

This was said when the between seasons break happened last summer... Sorry boys, I'm pretty certain we will be bugging you until the series is over. Which is at least one more year, since season 3 was confirmed.
IN OTHER NEWS, Art's got the right idea. Knowledge is the only thing I put above, well, anything in the world. For good or ill, it must be retained.

Would literature include fanfiction, and by extension pony fanfiction? ;D

There aren't enough letters in the word "no."

Ugh. Bronies can be just as bad as Twitards.
Anyways, we could start work on the next Library of Alexandria. Instead of a... temple.
-
Ugh. Bronies can be just as bad as Twitards.
Hey, now, that's going just a little too far.
-
The reach and fervor is the same.

No. It went just far enough.

I've never heard of a Brony mulekicking a guy for saying Rainbow Dash sucks.
And even if you can drudge up examples, I still won't have heard it to the sheer extent I've heard of violent Twitards.
Plus, I concede that My Little Pony is subpar or mediocre. Twilight is just awful.
-
Oh boy. I'm sure you guys have seen the warring fandoms with Twilight vs Potter, yes?
I'm tempted to make a blog post trolling both fandoms giving reasons they both suck (from my limited knowledge). At the bottom, anyone who hasn't raegquit will learn that I really don't care about either series, and was just trolling them because I find the fandom wars retarded.
-

This is really another lopsided comparison. That whole bullshit happened because of a poll that compared Rowling, King, & Meyer. The Twitards got pissed that their author was dead last. I've no doubt the Potterheads reciprocated somewhat. They can be pretty overbearing sometimes. But you're pretty much never going to find a fandom that has been more batshit insane & agressive than Twilight.
-
Ugh. Bronies can be just as bad as Twitards.
I was thinking they're as bad as weeaboos, but come to think of it, your comparison is better.

Comparing fans of My Little Pony to people with a shallow and cartoon-based view/worship of another culture or tweens who are ignorantly devoted (to the point of denigrating any other successful book or anything involving vampires and/or werewolves) to Mormon-housewife-fantasy abstinence porn is a tad disingenuous.
I think most Bronies would recognize that the show is geared at kids and has quite a few chessy or childish elements, but they happen to feel that the show is still entertaining because the creators intended it to be that way. How is it that much different from adult fans of Adventure Time? Or Young Justice? Or G.I. Joe: Renegades? Or Transformers Animated? Or any other children's show that is written in such a way to foster and capture a periphery demographic?

I did just say it had to do with the reach and the fervor.

It's that all three groups tend to broadcast their hard-on for their preferred fandom at every opportunity, especially online. Just look at how many threads here have been derailed with pony talk/macroes.
I don't have anything against My Little Pony itself or necessarily its fans. It's the ones that never shut up about it that piss me off.

Admittedly, I just kinda bomb around in P&G and F&B, but the count of every thread I've seen derailed by ponies on this message board is...this one. TV Tropes has HUGE MLP section and Memebase has a subsite, but I guess I don't hang around the right parts of the web.
And is it really any worse than threads being derailed with sexual innuendos and bizarrely obscene jokes?

Fair enough. Comparing it to fandoms who are legitimately terrible still seems unfair. So far as I know, no Bronie has ever tried to claim MLP invented unicorns or that it is better than....a Pixar movie (what would be the animation equivalent of the Harry Potter franchise?).

I don't mind it if it has its own section or subsite, it's when it constantly finds its way to non-pony related threads that's the problem. To illustrate my problem, take the fact that I'm a massive gamer and I think it's the greatest, most fun passtime ever since jerking off. However, I keep all of my gaming talk to the related or nonsense threads and I don't actively derail unrelated threads with gaming talk because I know that there exist people who don't give a shit and don't want to hear about it. If the pony fans would behave it a similar manner, I'd have no beef with them.
And is it really any worse than threads being derailed with sexual innuendos and bizarrely obscene jokes?
Yeah, come to think of it, objectively it's true. I'll happily admit that the only reason that I don't have a problem with the innuendo derails is because they amuse me.

I wouldn't say so. I have the same issue with all of those fandoms, namely the loud and obnoxious fans who think everyone else shares their hard-on for their preferred form of entertainment and thus want to hear them stroke off to it at every opportunity. The fandoms themselves are completely benign as long as you bear in mind that they're purely fictional (yes, even Twilight), it's solely annoying fans that are the problem. I'd say this analysis is apt for not only Twitards and weeaboos, but also certain Pony fans.

I try to only post ponies in a way appropriate for the thread, not intending to derail it. Considering the fact that a lot of threads here induce RAGE and general disappointment in humanity, ponies seem like a good way of cheering everyone up a bit, so we don't go insane with RAGE. The derailment of this thread is unintentional and I think the first time I've ever derailed a thread anywhere. I was trying to convey that the money used on this think would have been put to better use on just about anything else, including ponies that spread friendship.
I'll remember to dial back the brony-ness in the future.( but the avatar stays)
EDIT: By the way, I was on a site a while back that documented all the assaults on non-twilight fans. It is probably out there if your interested. One included a 16 year old girl stomping on a 6 year old's goldfish, because the 6 year old didn't think Twilight was the greatest thing ever. Twilight has caused (non-human) deaths! I also heard Twilight has it's own religion now, though if they are serious or not is questionable. The closest to pony worship I would go is calling myself a member of the Order of the Invisible Pink Unicorn, which I did even before I was a brony and has no real connection. (Invisible Multi-coloured-but- primarily-teal Pegasus FTW, j/k)

Cheers friend. Dialling back the brony-ness in unrelated threads is all I ask.
Somehow missed the edit.

Eh, there's assholes everywhere, and considering there are millions of Twitards in the world, statistically speaking shit like that is bound to happen. Increase the numbers of pony fans and I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a few in their ranks who exhibit such behaviour.
Also, wasn't the invisible pink unicorn thing around long before My Little Pony aired? Never mind, seen your new edit.
-
If this forum is like others I know of, there should be a way to split derailed threads at the point of derailment into another thread. Seeing as how this has become terribly derailed, do you think that could be done to this thread?
-
Actually, MadCat, its funny you mention that, because I was at that site a little while back (about...3 months or so), and read they had a rule prohibiting such "Twihard Encounters" as many were either dubious or outright lies.
Now, that said, would I be surprised if the more insane ones weren't? Unfortunately, no. Not in the least.

I believe the sight I was on was called twilightsuck.com, is that the one you were on? One story was about a girl who got her leg broke for not liking twilight. She posted a lot of pictures of among other things said leg in a cast and I think some legal papers showing she was going to sue the person that broke her leg proving she was telling the truth.

Yes I do sir! Free Pony’s for all Americans. One of the overlooked issues in American today. My free-pony platform is of course is a jobs creation program it will create lots and lots of jobs once we ah switch over to pony based economy, it will also lower our dependence on foreign oil, we will also be able to turn all that pony poop into methane gas, and wonderful compost and be able to re-up our soil that is being depleted by aero-chemicals etcetera. etcetera. etcetera. And of course the important thing to realize is, it is a Federal pony identification program where you will need your pony at all times. Thank you very much.

Yes it would appear so. Should I reiterate my original derailing post about "PONY WORLD DOMINATION!". And yes, it does have to be written like that. I, for one, welcome our new pony overlords. ;D

The worst part is that he would probably do a better job than any candidate with a chance. Anyone else get the vibe that this is Rent is Too Damn High 2:Electric Boogaloo? Zombies and ponies FTW!

We had enough material in that thread to make another, 3 page thread? This sickens me.
I think the violence in Twitards stems more from the general emotional immaturity & insanity of the fandom, but numbers does have something to do with it.
With regards to weeaboos, I think that comparison is made a bit too much, as-is.

We can no longer be a nation indentured -- our very salivation is at stake. Together, we must brace ourselves as we cross over the bridge-work into the 23rd century..."
Pretty sure he's trolling.

It is a wonderful thing to be out of the mainstream.

I will say this as someone that helps on the largest pony fansite on the internet...
Even I get annoyed with thread derails. A macro here and there? fine. A reference? okay. But constantly doing it? It's as bad as Skyrim and 'arrow to the knee'.
And this is coming from someone that has their finger on the pulse of the pony fandom.

Seconded. It's one thing to have a pony avatar, or to post tons of pony in the Clopfic and MLP threads, but this shit is getting ridiculous. Tone it down, y'all.
