Quote from: kmlv23 on December 06, 2012, 09:45:05 PM Seriously, I just want to know what happened to 'love and tolerate'? Believe it or not, that was never meant to be taken seriously. It was originally just a counter bronies would throw at trolls and haters, but some took it seriously, and it was adopted as the slogan. I've seen some of the bad myself, and sometimes there is very little love and tolerance. A good example is Alicorns. If you decide to make an Alicorn original character, you will get grilled for it, as many consider OC ones Mary Sues, and the only Alicorns allowed are Luna, Celestia, Cadence, and Lauren's own OC of herself (double standard anyone?).

Honestly I've seen worse fandoms (like Invader Zim and other works by its creator, yeesh). Since Lauren Faust left Hasbro Studios, Bronies have started to become less pleased with the show, and I think in time they will end up losing interest completely. Some fans are in it just for Lauren Faust and not actually ponies.
No matter what you're into, there will always be a stuck up, bad attitude fan base that is cruel to everyone and think they are the God of all fans. I've learned that the hard way. Luckily, we have the Arena which doesn't have all that drama and obnoxious behavior.It's the last internet fan base forum I actually visit. I gave up on all the others. I don't have time for drama and immaturity over things I like. Some people just take things too far. I wouldn't pay them any attention. You can still call yourself what you like. You don't have to associate with them though.I've heard terrible things about "Bronies" but this is the only Pony forum, and fan forum for anything at all, that I go to. So I've never dealt first hand with them. But from what I've heard.. I wouldn't pay them any mind. People like that can live off in their delusional world for all I care.As long as I keep on being happy with the things I like.. they can't get to me.
Technically, the meaning of word "Brony" is "male fan of Friendship is Magic". Nothing more nothing less. Everything else is just an interpretation.
As a proud and active Brony, I really, really dislike this thread. Please don't think the bad ones are the only ones who make up my fandom. I can assure you there's much more to the MLP fandom than this. Much more. I feel unwelcomed.
