Most people judge and practice a prejudice against bronies in general, thinking they’re all freaks and sexual deviants of a deplorable nature. Bronies know this isn’t true and it’s hurtful to hear such accusations.

((The problem is that there are people in all three of those categories that are genuinely fucked up, terrifyingly dysfunctional individuals. In many cases, these are also some of the most vocal members of those groups. This leads to them being the first impression of those groups that many people see.
I’ll admit, I don’t get foalcon or any other form of under age stuff. To me, it will always look like child porn. It’s porn. Of a character that is a child. It’s always going to weird me out and I am never going to enjoy it. You can have slender, naive characters without them being children. You can have flat chests and hairless bodies (in the non-furry cases of course) without them being under age. I’m a rational person. When I see people turn up their nose at porn of a young looking adult but go nuts for porn of a child, then I’m left to conclude what they are attracted to /is/ the age and not the characteristics that come along with that age.
That said, I know people who are into it that I consider friends and that I enjoy hanging out with and talking to. I don’t consider this to be the same level of fucked up as, say, that one picture that showed up recently of Celestia raping a pregnant Twilight face first into a meat grinder to turn her and the unborn foal into burgers. There definitely are limits. I feel foalcon is on the border. Now foal /rape/? No. That’s way over the border. Rape’s bad enough. Child rape is worse. Foals having sex with adult characters at all is pretty bad too in my view, but that’s /my/ view.
I agree in general though. People are quick to forget that they are or were persecuted too. I do feel there’s a bottom to the well of love and mutual understanding however. I just don’t think foalcon is it. I’ve seen so, so much worse than foalcon for crying out loud… like /damn/ xD ))
I’m pretty much with you on this, but dayum, you’ve seen way worse than I have.
