Evening everyone. I finally got my new computer up and running. So far I've got Minecraft, and that's pretty much it. So I'll be using my old one for a while still.

What's this about derpibooru?

Well, ponibooru is over, so now derpibooru is the only big image site.

Wow. In case none of you have looked at the main WA thread page, someone made a thread specifically to bash us (Bronies that is, not this thread specifically) XD

The thread got locked, obviously :P

@Truteal: I wouldn't define your position as 'Hating', more like: "It's not to my tastes and I don't really enjoy it." That's reasonable.

@Sky

It's down at the moment.

@Librarian Bash MLP: FIM? The fandom in general? Or us?

@saint Hi there, haven't seen you before. Any idea how long it's down for?

Both. Thread got locked. Probably best not to discuss it lest we draw the attention of the mods. If you want to read it it's there on the front page.

I mean something like this: Count how many posts someone made on a Sunday from 12:00 AM to 12:59 AM, do that for the other hour-long periods of time on the other days of the week, then make a percentage of how many of the posts are during a certain time slot on a certain day, then another percentage comparison for the days as a whole.

In a set period or for all time?

@The Librarian: It was actually way too mild for me to think of it as "bashing." If the guy had just come and posted his spiel here we could have actually discussed it with him.

I would have pointed out that even though he was completely correct in calling us "weird" for liking the show, that in now way is a bad thing. I'm probably considered weird for planning to make a living off writing, believing in God, and having no current interest in getting girlfriend.

I have not heard one argument against MLP that holds any water. They're all either subjective or riddled with logical fallacies.

Seconded. We have no problem with people who simply think the show isn't good.

Subjective doesn't make their arguments wrong. Some people just don't like it.

True. Guy got shut down pretty quick anyway by the people that came to the thread to look. Basically "People like what they like, don't knock it, this is also against the rules so someone needs to lock it."

And that's all I have to say about that.

#250643 Perpetual Lurker Sun, 15th Jul '12 8:36:58 PM

No, I can totally understand being put off by the bright colors, excessive whimsy, and obvious morals. I'm not, though, so I like it.

#250644 Japanese Teeth Sun, 15th Jul '12 8:37:48 PM from Meinong's jungle

Eeyup. The only valid complaints I can see are "this personally doesn't appeal to me" and "the more militant fans are annoying".

@Pinkapie Then again, whether you like something or not is subjective as well

Man I needed a good laugh, it's always so refreshing to see some half-wit with a grudge flagrantly break the rules and think they're legitimized because they're angry enough.

I love chaos too much for this to be healthy.

Because no one who visits that thread will ever see the rest of the Western Animation forum and see your big flame title on it, naturally.

Well you got me.

Anyway, welcome to the thread Saint!

#250648 Pannic Sun, 15th Jul '12 8:39:26 PM

I can certainly get complaints about the fandom, from the way it's permeating everything to the more... unsavory aspects. Obviously.

I mean, I recall how I annoyed I got every time I saw the "Whateley Universe" crop up on a trope page.

#250649 Japanese Teeth Sun, 15th Jul '12 8:39:42 PM from Meinong's jungle

The hilarious thing is that he was probably gunning for a rage-y response, and pretty much all of us just find it amusing.

Well, sometimes an opinion is flat out factually inaccurate. Like, saying death metal takes no talent, when a musical analysis of one of the more technical/progressive bands would prove otherwise. Also, some would say that the characters are flat and have no depth, which a thorough watching would disprove.

If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. But to make a judgment which is based on something that can be factually disproved is just foolish.

Okay, maybe the thing about character depth is a bad analogy. I mean, some say the animation is flat-out bad. It's one thing not to like it, but really? Take one good look at Fluttershy's dramatic camera move or the Smile song and you'll be proven wrong. That does take talent to do that stuff with flash.
