First annoying quote: "Bronies say they're a misunderstood lot who've gotten a bad rap from the media." Yes, because "the media" put out all of that awful behavior on the internet. Right. The media made death threats by the hundred to anyone who disagreed? The 'bad rap' was completely invented wholesale purely to make you look bad! That makes perfect sense! :rolleyes: If there's one thing I can't stand, it's lying about the problematic elements in your fandom. Yeah, every fandom has problems, it's typical - so don't blame it on the media.
From Faust: "They're proud that they're forward-thinking and modern enough to look past this misogynistic attitude."
AAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I cannot agree more. At least it sounds like the article is hilarious.
We need to bridge the gap between collectors and Bronies. We all enjoy MLP, in one way or another.
Get bronies as a whole to respect older collectors/generations, as well as each other, and you've got yourself a deal.
But that's not going to happen.
The Arena is able to be so varied because of respect. We respect each other and our collecting, even if we don't agree 100% on everything. If some of us don't agree with the norm, we're not flamed or bashed or sent death threats. We actively work to create a kind, accepting community that doesn't tolerate jerks. If bronies as a whole weren't so rude and disrespectful to anyone who dares to think differently from them and anyone who enjoys older generations, I'd respect them as a whole. But they don't so I sure won't. Obviously individual basis is completely different, as I have respect for many bronies I've met here, but as a whole I do not respect them or their fandom.
And honestly, does anyone really think bronies as a whole care if we accept them or not? Unless they're part of our community, they probably couldn't care any less. They have their own forums and communities.

But we are part of your community. I collect g1s, first and foremost, but I happily and proudly identify as a bronie.
Did you not even read what you quoted?
"Unless they're part of our community, they probably couldn't care any less."
Not every brony is on the Arena or the TP or any other older generation friendly place. And if they're not on our sites, why would they care if we respect them as a whole? Especially when they don't respect us as a whole.
Also did the spelling change? I keep seeing "Bronie" all over, and that doesn't even look right.
