anjin how do you feel about the my little pony character 'derpy hooves' being canonized and the subsequent fallout resulting from complaints of her being 'insensitive'
As a grown ass man I make the assessment, that of all the things these people choose to cherry pick, getting a very literal fan service indicative of their desires and then complaining about it as though that didn't affirm those desires? Come on, dude. Like a character with that name, looking wall eyed ain't gonna sound or be fucked up. I'm of the mind that if these people requested a characteer named blackface hoof and got a watermelon eating pony complete with hideous red lips it would still fly over their heads as a manifestation of their desires.
as for the character being canonized, when I think of communities whose opinions I should take into consideration for a childrens show of course reddit and 4chan are on my shortlist because im the sort of piece of shit that values a nerd or pedophile drawing tiny horses getting fucked so I can sell things
It's a constant reminder that I must be really insular on the internet or something, because I have to really go out of my way to find anything pony related.
Except people complaining about it, they seem to show up just about everywhere. Even had my uncle on facebook saying "bronies should suicide", which just serves as another reminder to never go on facebook because everyone I know is deadly weird there.
the other day I saw a really good comment about bronies, and the problem with them.
they were talking about how a big part of brony culture is taking the show for themselves, to the point where people will (sarcastically, I assume?) brag about buying all the toys so children can't get them.
Anyway, the point of the comment was that rather than being part of the show's fanbase, they're trying to hijack it.

And then you get folks like that guy who sold shoes with pony designs, took all the money he made from it, and bought a shitload of toys to donate to Toys for Tots.
Took a picture of the receipt and everything, which was an interesting touch.

The tumblr, various message boards, the PA thread
I'm not totally sure what tumblr even is, I personally haven't seen much on other message boards, and on PA at least I don't really visit threads I don't have bookmarked.
I can appreciate that my experience is probably not the norm, of course.

If I ever get so obsessed with anything like that and turn evil, please stage an intervention.

tumblr is kind of like halfway between blogging and Twitter. people share gifs and photos and stuff.

Transgendered people are angry that some mlp thing that makes fun of retarded people is being removed?
That is pretty silly/dumb

Drawing MLP characters as TF2 characters? What?
And yeah then you get into people identifying personally with cartoon ponies and hoolllllly craaap

I think I just notice it more with MLP because that's the new internet thing

Or at least that part of it

At the very least.
