Quote from: Taffeta on September 11, 2020, 03:24:43 PMCollectors are generalised and stigmatised, but again it's the people who do that who have the real complexes. At the end of the day, if someone is more concerned with judging what other people are doing than thinking about how to enjoy their own life,they're the one with the problem, right? At the very least they're wasting time and energy disapproving of something that's nothing to do with them...There are a lot of people out there who need more imagination I'll let the other stuff alone because it's going way off the topic, but I have a lot of theories why pony is so popular with people on the spectrum. I'd be interested to hear them sometime if it ever comes up in an appropriate thread...that's all I'll say about that! It's a fascinating subject to me.

I'm probably one of a few people who love the Pony Life ponies. Not bothersome, but could do without the "Burn it!!" comments. I really do think they're quite cute.

They have great quality and accessories and the show is really cute. I totally get why people don't like them but people overdo it with the PL slander =(

It's a tad hypocritical. Nobody has to like everything but what ever happened to if you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself?

I don't want to quote specifics because I don't want to point fingers of my own, but in recent weeks the most vehement anti-PL comments have come from people who are also fans of FIM (whether or not they have other generational interests). Most G1 fans don't care if PL exists or not. And not caring enough to get involved =/= trashing. And there is not a binary line between "G1 fans" and "everyone else" anyway.
I mean there were plenty of people complaining when G4 came out that they "don't look like horses" and even recently someone in another thread meant for positive things about G4 said how they wish G4 never even existed. Both "ew the original sucked" and "ew change is bad" are unpleasant experiences for people who like the things in question. Nobody likes being told what they like sucks.
I personally find it hard to enjoy, or participate, in certain threads here if people just want to continue to say how much they don't like something. So, for some people, it does have an effect. And don't get me wrong. People are totally ok to hate something, and even say it. But at some point, it gets tiring. It doesn't matter to me whose experiences are worse. Any negative experience stinks. Kinda like stubbing ones toe, vs breaking ones foot. Sure, breaking is worse, but that doesn't mean that stubbing ones toe doesn't stink.
My comment was about how I feel on this forum, and that the bashing from people within this community, and all that negativity DOES effect people.Are you saying my comment is insensitive?
