At the end of the day, I don't care about cloppers. I don't think most of them are bad people (the person who wrote that fanfic I linked the tvtropes page of is... an exception...). Nor do I think they do it all the time. They just have an odd fetish. No real problem with that. I personally woudn't want to see any of that stuff but its not that hard to avoid it. It is possible to see non-sexual shipping pics (unless you count kissing sexual, I don't) by acident, but these i'm fine with I guess, though again I'm not going to actively look for them.

Also, I would say that rule 34 does keep with the message of love *wink*.

...I'll go now...

Hell, even if you do consider kissing sexual (seriously, find a new church or something, what the hell), I've written more than one shipping pieces that included no kissing at all.

This thread is weird sometimes. One second the cloppers are Acceptable Targets. The other we're being oddly accepting of them

I ain't complaining, I just find it funny

Everyone has different opinions.

I don't hate cloppers. I mean chirst, when Pinkie emerged from that clam in that outfit, I was mildly...interested, myself. I'm just asking them to be careful and considerate when dealing with outsiders.

As Red said, we have a bad rep. as it is.

Now you talinking about cloppers?

Hmm, how long until new episode?

My friend's first interaction with bronies was some people on the train who asked if he wanted to mount them to go fight evil.

I still haven't told him I'm a brony, though I think he suspects.

Tomorrow.

Lol

...oh wait. Was your friend unimpressed?

Thoese two points are not mutually exclusive you know. I agree that this thread is weird and funny at the same time. And occasionally a bit creepy. (though a fair amount of that seems to be my fault recently... sorry)

He was incredibly creeped out, his response was to scare them off by telling them "I AM EVIL!" He said that furries were downright wholesome compared to bronies.

In fairness, even as a brony and knowing the context, I'd still be creeped out by someone randomly asking me to mount them. I like your freinds responce though. (the I AM EVIL part)

CDRW: If he figures out your status, calmly explain that those two guys on the train were just plain crazy.

Those Bronies aren't doing us any favours them.

It's best to just act cool and muted, as if it isn't even a big deal at all. And let others be the first to bring it up.

I have almost 12 years of experience of doing this with regards to 40k y'see.

More shirts based on Luna Eclipsed! (Why do I report on shirts?!?)

Epic Luna and... there is so much "yes" involved with this Twilight shirt that I don't think it can easily be described in words.

Don't stop reporting on the shirts! They're one of the most awesome aspects of the fandom and I've even bought one. I wonder when it's finally going to arrive. It's definitely not worth what they're charging, but I want at least one piece of merch, and that shirt was something I wouldn't be embarassed to wear in public.

Yes those shirts are awesome. Both me and my two other Brony friends would wear those with pride. I just wish I had the money to buy them.

Do they ship to the UK?

edited 4th Nov '11 10:58:33 AM by ApplelightLimited

Sorry, dunno.

I kind of want that Twilight shirt now... It reminds me of this...

edited 4th Nov '11 10:59:01 AM by Cookoo

Luna shirt...want...

I know it's been posted before, but I really want the steampunk shirt. http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=640 I'm this close to convincing myself that steampunk makes ponies acceptable in the eyes of society.

Edit: Steampunk pony fanfic. I think I may be on to something here. I'm sure it's been done already, but this is something I could actually write.

I do wonder why Rainbow dash has a jetpack on that shirt. She can probably go faster without it.

THAT'S IT! PONY CROSSOVER WITH The Rocketeer!

The Rocketeer wasn't steampunk (at least it never felt that way to me)

Wild Wild West maybe?

edited 4th Nov '11 11:29:08 AM by gingerninja666

If you want to get all technical and genrical, yeah it's not steampunk. But it has everything that makes steampunk cool, and it's a freaking awesome movie.

A steam punk villian. Do want so badly. As well as that shirt.

Or clock punk.

Sounds like there could be a serious Anti-technology moral if they decided to go that route though. (since he's a villain and all)

not sure if I want
