Re: The Reputation Hilarity/Insanity thread
I don't think he's ragging on the men for actually liking it, more the fact they're so vocal about being obsessed over a cartoon aimed at little girls what with the whole putting up a poster to advertise their community. Then there's the men that actually go out and buy the toys and out them on display and go out to cons and whatnot raving about it, or just generally going out in public and being so loud about it.
I'm of the same mind as Sponge, I do see them as being pretty pathetic but so long as they aren't forcing it in my face I'll keep it mostly to myself. Though I did end up almost losing my shit last year when I went into Cardiff with a friend and we saw a group of about 20 of them just making a fucking nuisance of themselves. And these weren't the 'normal' fans, they were the highest grade neckbeards and basement shut-ins.
Thank you, SirOni, I appreciate that. That's the same opinion my 50 year old saint-of-a-father had about them, and he's a man who does his research.
I judge them as weird people because I'm a psychologist, that's kind of my job.. There's not a single person I've talked to in my life for more than 10 minutes that I haven't relentlessly analyzed and then decided to pick them apart due to their flaws, then pick them back up again to rebuild them either out of guilt or inspiration.
And I stand by what I said about them because from what I've SEEN, from EXPERIENCE, interacting with them, that's exactly how they are.. (Unless I've been wrather unlucky running into the "Worse" ones)
But no.... Just f*cking wait "you gaise".. It gets even better..
Maybe as some strange cosmic karma, or maybe because I just plain had
it coming.. I woke up today, at 8:54 am, to the sound of a camera taking a picture.. I open my eyes, and what do I see?.. My mom and dad, grinning like 2 kids who just drew a kick-me sign..
My dad then proceeds to show me, a MLP pony doll, still in package, along with a DVD (of an episode or something), also in the package, saying jokingly "Now we have evidence that YOU are a brony! We're gonna show the picture to [relative] and [relative]! Hahahahah!"
Apparently they snuck in my room, put the toy next to me when I was sleeping, and took a picture of it..
What's even worse (or better), I don't even recognize the character from
the series that this doll was made after.. (Since the only MLP characters I've seen, were from memes) But for the record she's yellow, with purple hair, and named "Sunny rays" I think..
So now I've got this MLP doll and a "20+ minute full episode" of MLP neatly wrapped in hard plastic, just staring at me in my room..
The ultimate punishment for my mocking of MLP, and bronies, who I'm pretty sure now have the 2nd last laugh, before my dad.
Troll-Dad Level: Anti-Brony
I think the moral here is, don't make fun of bronies if you have troll-parents, even if they hate bronies themselves. They won't be above humiliating you for a laugh... A laugh that will undoubtedly follow both me and them to our graves..

One last note..
And, unless something truly horrible has occurred, ULMF's prevailing attitude towards named groups of deviants is that "If they don't push their opinions onto others, they can like whatever they want to like". Assess at an individual level, do not make remarks about a group as a whole. As (arguably) all tentacle-hentai aficionados as we are, we should have at least that much respect for our fellow communities.
As oni stated, you don't see pages on conveniance-store walls of naked hentai chicks advertising ulmf with
(apparenlty) a community hotline, do you?
And I'm preeeeeeeeeeeeeetty sure MLP is not a "Fellow community" to ulmf.. Great job defending those "horse freaks" there, buddy..
At least not until they start developing a taste for hentai games and flood the forum with fan-made MLP hentai games..
I just wish that instead of anonymously neg-repping me, you had messaged me and spoken to me privately where we could have had a meaningful discussion.
