We're coming up on mid-2014 and honestly I don't think pony can even equate to 1% of the total posts we make these days, yet you guys kind of treat it like its murder.
Not saying I can't handle opinions, but for those of you with really no opinion on it can you at least break it out that it shouldn't be such a big deal? Bronies I know today don't ever advertise their show and have kept it to themselves more considerately out of respect for others. Can we get a little less condemnation and maybe just a pony post every once in a day/week?
Thanks, that would be cool beans. |

Just because it is not often mentioned, it does not make the topic any less toxic.

If people didn't have an opinion about it, they wouldnt be making a big deal out of it in the first place.
"Bronies I know today don't ever advertise their show and have kept it to themselves more considerately out of respect for others."
Not the ones that make pony threads like you were referring to up there.
"Can we get a little less condemnation and maybe just a pony post every once in a day/week? Thanks, that would be cool beans."
Nobody is stopping you from making posts about ponies, like how nobody is stopping anybody from voicing their opinions about disliking ponies. |

Ill post pony every once in a while.
Most threads about it blow way out of proportion because of bandwagoning though.

You make it sound like it will flair up if you ever give it the chance.
"If people didn't have an opinion about it, they wouldnt be making a big deal out of it in the first place."
Which is why the middle ground is quiet when things get thrown back in forth. The middle should work more as a buffer in my opinion, but they're afraid they might get thrown into it themselves.
"Not the ones that make pony threads like you were referring to up there."
I don't see it, and if there is its safe to say its a typical person looking for conflict. Every established forumer here understands what's acceptable whether they're in the fandom or not.
"Nobody is stopping you from making posts about ponies, like how nobody is stopping anybody from voicing their opinions about disliking ponies."
Public opinion. I can make a pony thread once a week sure, but whether I end up looking like a sonrick regardless of content quality can be very discouraging to a lot of people which is why it hardly gets posted. Just change the public opinion from being so hostile. |

Tell me about it. It's like there's a bandwagon to despise everything about it. |

If you get to post ponies, then I get to post penguins.
Respect the science! |

That is perfectly fair. Why not post about the topics you love? |

Though it can be fun watching people argue about it like its a biohazard contaminated with radiation and mixed with batrachotoxin.

At least I hope Im not.

No, I'd say you're not, but still people are willing to go that route if it gets you to shut up permanently. Ever been called a troll when you really weren't even looking for conflict in the first place? |

But the same people who like ponies also like Yes! Magazine! (but I love everybody, you can like whatever you want!)

it's pretty much crapposting at this point
it's just kinda dead at this point, and doesn't do anything other than spark flamewars

And on the rare someone does manage to anger me here, I just go do something else for an hour.

What are you talking about? I was just pointing out how what you said didn't make any sense.
"I don't see it, and if there is its safe to say its a typical person looking for conflict. Every established forumer here understands what's acceptable whether they're in the fandom or not."
Aren't you, by definition, not keeping it to yourself by posting threads about it?
"Public opinion. I can make a pony thread once a week sure, but whether I end up looking like a sonrick regardless of content quality can be very discouraging to a lot of people which is why it hardly gets posted. Just change the public opinion from being so hostile."
In your original post you said "Can we get a little less condemnation and maybe just a pony post every once in a day/week?" For the pony post every once in a while part, like I said, nobody is stopping you. As for the condemnation and public opinion part, I don't think that is going to happen. You might want to discuss how Rainbow Dash is such a great character compared to Applejack who is bland in a public thread, but the majority don't want to read that junk. As long as it is the majority that doesn't want to read it, it will stay that way.
Just imagine 5 threads on the front page of people talking about their scat and adult baby fetishes. You probably don't want to read that in the same way that the majority don't want to read pony threads. |

"majority don't want to read that junk. As long as it is the majority that doesn't want to read it, it will stay that way." Then dont click it. Simple.
"Just imagine 5 threads on the front page of people talking about their..." Stuff akin to that happens every now and again on night OT already. The solution is the same as above.

I am able to voice my opinion against it just as much as you are allowed to make the thread in the first place. And not clicking it is still not going to prevent me from reading it, I still see "ITT: RAINBOW DASH V PINKIE PIE DISCUSSION" |

I can still get annoyed by it. I can still think its extremely unnecessary for you to post it. I can still post about how unnecessary it is. I can still think the only thing you posting your opinion will do is derail the thread. I can still think your opinion is bigotry at its finest.
Because in my opinion, it is.

Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?
"Aren't you, by definition, not keeping it to yourself by posting threads about it?"
Yeah, we've like shut up about it for 2 years now. Can we come out of the closet and talk regularly like everyone else or what?
"As for the condemnation and public opinion part, I don't think that is going to happen. You might want to discuss how Rainbow Dash is such a great character compared to Applejack who is bland in a public thread, but the majority don't want to read that junk.

I don't mind if they don't want to read it. I'm not going to beg for them to say which. I just kind of find it distasteful how some are going to post unnecessary negative content regardless of content for only being pony-related. The discussion derails from its purpose and you can't get a conversation going with those that do actually care.
"Just imagine 5 threads on the front page of people talking about their scat and adult baby fetishes. You probably don't want to read that in the same way that the majority don't want to read pony threads."
Crap threads are not to be taken seriously as some pony threads shouldn't be taken seriously. "OMG WATCH MLP, OR GO AWAY" is just as bad as, "Haha, I pooped in toilet, lol". They don't post it out of interest but more out or reaction which is cancerous and bad. Stuff like fetishes I really wouldn't mind seeing and I've never really had a problem with them. |

Saying you can doesn't mean you should. I'm sorry, the world doesn't revolve around you, but I don't see how voicing your negativity is benefiting you when people just want a conversation.
By the way I like both ponies, so I couldn't choose. |

And I can do those things about your threads too. It's quite fun going in a circle isn't it?
Everybody else is also able to voice their opinions, and when the majority have opinions against what you are posting, that is going to damage your thread. |

Okay, so you admit to damaging threads, only because you can? What the heck? |
