The worst part is that I'm tempted to get defensive toward those who don't like the show/are attempting to anger those who do

Like I said, philosophy is on our side.

If you need to, in any way, 'justify' yourself watching MLP, just go re-read my 'Bronic Confessions' again.

Here it is again for those who don't know

I agree, it's really easy to snap back at the haters. But just remember, if we love and tolerate, it'll just make us look better.

But I still love how they accuse us of being immature.

Even an intelligent response would have a 50/50 chance of getting replies calling you a "faggot". Just let them make fools of themselves.

Best part about using logic and intelligence on the internet:

When people call you a 'fag' because of your logic, you feel better.

Considering that most of the opposition to us liking ponies are the same ten-year-old idiots who troll Xbox Live...

I think we're good

Oddly enough YouTube of all places is rather indifferent/benevolent to the show. Probably due to a lack of Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black but it's something.

Seconded.

This is an pretty awesome fandom, considering its origins.

Here's the way I see it:

Justin Beiber fans are screaming pre-teen girls who are suffering from hormonal stress and need an outlet.

Friendship is Magic fans are across the board, ranging from seven year old girls, to the periphery demographic of... well us. Our vocalization doesn't come from 'lolomgsquee'. It comes from a love of genuinely-good cartoons, some sugar-coated aesops, and clop-fiction.

Y Ou do the math

Though we could do without the clopfiction...

Youtube comments for the show are kind of non-horrible. I like that.

Quick question:

At what point should I give my ED submission up for a lost cause?

It took a bit more than 3 days before my WWU Twilight photos were posted. From my very brief e-mail interaction and a few comments in posts from staff on the site, it looks like things are scheduled and slotted to go with their "30 mins between posts" rule (it would probably be incredibly chaotic otherwise). I have noticed that some stuff gets on faster, though, so my guess is higher priority goes to stuff with multiple references and from submitters whom are already known. Fanfiction will probably also depend on prereader availability.

That makes sense.

I just don't wanna be waiting all summer, then getting an e-mail saying that it was rejected three days after I submitted.

I just had the stupidest yet awesomest idea ever. OK not really. But it's so stupid it's awesome. Or maybe... Crazy Awesome? I dunno.

Anyway, my idea was a PMV for Team Dai-Gurren's theme song. Specifically, this version.

#6618 kegisak Thu, 9th Jun '11 3:15:50 PM

It seems to vary a lot, I guess based on how busy the pre-readers are at the time? The first two I submitted got admitted or rejected within about a day, but the most recent one I sent in has been sat on for three or four days now.

#6619 STK Thu, 9th Jun '11 3:25:07 PM

Wait wait wait, so the site has curators? In that case how the bloody hell did Cupcakes make it through?

#6620 Mio Thu, 9th Jun '11 3:31:09 PM

People demanded it and they caved in.

Its legendary status pretty much guaranteed the ED post.

Plus, they didn't always. Back in the older, slower days, it was just Sethisto alone, and he didn't always have time to check everything. So if there were a lot of requests to put something up, he just tossed it on without checking. It lead to more than few outcries, which is why he has pre-readers now.

Cupcakes! Oh god, i can't unread what i just read.

#6624 STK Thu, 9th Jun '11 4:11:26 PM

I could write something real sweet and heartwarming and at the same time gutbustingly funny about Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie to reverse the Cupcakeness. Not shipping though. Never been in a healthy relationship (don't ask) so I have zero experience in them.

#6625 Neko LLX Thu, 9th Jun '11 4:33:05 PM from Soviet America from Soviet America

to late, thanks to Cupcakes i've peeled back the venere of Ponyville ans seen the less savory tropes.

Black Pony Dies First, dystopia, Infered Holocost....

Now I just need to find the trope for the blade runner esk upper age limit, maybe Pinky Pie was right, every pony has a number, that's why there is only 2 adults in Ponyville.
