In response to alllllllllllll this: there's a reason I didn't go into the MLP thread and voice my opinions. I ain't gonna change any minds. But when it came up here, in another thread, I spoke out in my typical, caustic way. Because shit, I can have an opinion about something and its fans. I think people who obsess about MLP are creepy manchildren, and I think people who like Dane Cook are barely-literate mouthbreathers, and I think people who like Larry the Cableguy are all closet racists. They're all generalizations, gut feelings, and, here's the key, my opinion of them. Of course I state my opinions as fact - everyone on this fucking forum does. When called upon to justify my viewpoint, I did so vehemently. Which is, again, the SE++ way.
What the fuck is your problem? Does the fact that people outside of the (again) main demographic of MLP like the show hurt or threaten or affect you in any way? If you say yes you are a god damned liar.
Does it hurt or threaten? No. Does it affect? Well, yeah, sure. The same way seeing a Dane Cook or Larry the Cable Guy avatar would - I get irritated. And I usually keep it to myself, and let it out in one off-topic rant that turned into a Whole Fucking Thing.
But jesus, that whole screed you wrote makes it sound like I stabbed your fucking kid or something
And I suppose I can see how it would affect you, yeah. And it's fine that you justified your viewpoint. It is indeed the SE++ way. I'm just saying that your justification and your viewpoint are retarded and also complete bullshit. Also the SE++ way.
But don't worry about the intensity of my response. I'm just very good at flying off the handle.

I'm not trying to barge in on the lover's spat here, but...
My only gripe with what you're saying here, Pooro, is that you're not expressing an opinion about the fans of MLP or Dane Cook or Larry the Cable Guy.
You're basically expressing a prejudice based on the material. You may hate Dane Cook's comedy, but forming a base hatred for anyone who enjoys him is not really opinion, you're taking one minor quality about someone and generalizing an impression of them that is probably not accurate.

See where I said in my post that I was doing exactly that?

Thanks for playing, though.
Yeah but you're calling them opinions at the same time. I was just pointing out that they are more prejudices than opinions.
My friends don't all like the same comedians or television shows or music that I enjoy. I don't shun their friendship as a result of that.
You're right, it's your call if you want to write off entire swaths of people based on their enjoyment of something you find beneath you. I'm not begrudging you that. I'm just saying call it what it is.
i hope people don't shit on me for liking adventure time

I like to think VG Cats is acting as a beacon for everything "us gamers" in hopes of protecting the rest of the internet by attracting people who think that way
And MoJ is the ugly lesbian magnet

it seems like it'd be more apropos to talk about manponies
I believe I know just the webcomic
I'd hate to see your B butt.
Personally I hate this because always seems to come with an implied (deservedly) accusation of being boring and predictable.
hey screw you pal!
oh god squall not you too
get out of here, your kind isn't welcome around these parts
I could never fucking use them
Does that make me a manchild?
scissors
knives
watches
pencils
you guys dont understand how difficult life is
as a lefty,
and therefore
posting on a forum based on a webcomic about videogames
makes you a manchild
it is weird
you are a genetic abomination, fit only for the ovens
