my six year old niece asked me what bronies were today. She was listening to the Equestria Girls song (The Katy Perry parody one) and she was asking why Pinkie said “Bronies hang out too!” So I told her that bronies were older guys who watch MLP. Her face practically lit up. “Really?!” “Yup,” I…

i like how this conveniently ignores all the rape jokes, porn, and the fact that a lot of those plushies are made for the express purpose of fucking them

conveniently? why would a six year old even need to know about that stuff? furthermore, yeah there are some fucked up plushies, but 99.99% percent of them aren’t even like that. So yeah, why don’t we tell the six year old about a loud minority in a large and diverse fanbase and make it seem like that minority is the whole. or lets tell the six year old about rape because bronies are evil! the last thing I need is for her to become some frothing at the mouth SJW activist!

I like how this ignorant, frothing faux feminist is trying to force the “rape culture” that is more a creation of their own overactive imagination than anything observable to any outside viewer into the life of A LITTLE GIRL.

Unlike any of these “feminists” that are the reason feminism has such a bad name as a movement, I’m actually immersed in the fandom, and as a woman, I have never experienced any of the alleged “misogyny” and “rape culture” they try so pathetically hard to project onto a single fan base.  They also cling desperately to this bogus idea that anyone is, in any way, “stealing” the show from it’s “intended audience”, while failing to take into account that the woman responsible for the entire franchise even existing (Bonnie Zacherle) has stated that she had originally developed My Little Pony as a series that both boys and girls could enjoy.  It was Hasbro that focused the marketing strictly to girls.  And, of course, they flail around helplessly and either spew vulgarities, or just take to repeating themselves like a broken record when it is clearly laid out for them that their claims are a gigantic, steaming load of bullshit.

The statement that anything approaching even 1% of all pony plushies are made for sexual reasons is utter bullshit.  I have seen a whopping TWO in the entire time that I’ve been part of this fan base, and one of them was the infamous Lyra plush that apparently no one remembers that literally EVERYONE made fun of, and thought it was completely fucking absurd.  I guess people kind of forgot that happened, since it doesn’t agree with their version of reality where males watching a cartoon was somehow setting the progress of women in society back by centuries.

Meanwhile, I hear nothing from any of these rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, piss-poor excuses for “activists” about rape as a topic anywhere else.  Not in any other fan bases, on any other sites, or even concerning anyone outside of Tumblr.  To top it off, they actually fucking try to negate the good done by this fan base, while they themselves fail to donate even ONE FUCKING CENT towards helping anyone other than THEMSELVES.

I openly welcome freelovefuture to read anything contained in this tag, though I doubt she would bother to, as the default response of the tumblr “feminist” is to ignore anything that discredits them in favor of monotonously droning on about how said people are “trash”, “disgusting”, or are automatically that ubiquitous “cishet white male” that’s apparently responsible for everything wrong with the world, even when they screw up the wings on their eyeliner.  Oh, and let’s not forget that they also include a healthy portion of body shaming by insinuating that every last member of an extremely large, diverse fan base shares the exact same obese body type, facial hair grooming habits, and the same taste in headwear. 

I have never once seen a single one of these people provide anything valid and unbiased to lend credibility to their claims.  Instead, we receive bogus stories about four year olds that - despite not even being old enough to comprehend the nature of (and thus be “traumatized by”) sexual interactions - were left at a computer unattended, and stumbled upon pony porn.  Do we even have to fucking get into the fact of a four year old even being able to operate a computer to the extent of using search engines, and spelling words correctly to do so?  Not to mention that a four year old shouldn’t be left unattended online in the first place.  Fuck, a four year old shouldn’t be left unattended ANYWHERE.

To make matters worse, when people in the fan base put forth genuine effort to make sure that mature content is not able to be found accidentally, they then move the goal post, crying that the fandom is trying to “hide how bad they are”.  It literally does not matter what the fan base does in the eyes of these people, because they will constantly keep pushing that goal post as far to the edges of eternity as they have to, just so they can have an excuse to keep belittling others just for that little shot in the arm of “superiority”.  Safe Search Wrap Up has been doing an amazing job clearing out Google’s Safe Search of anything that not only shouldn’t show up when searching for ponies, but for multiple fandoms.  They are actually putting forth an effort to do something worthwhile, while these so-called “feminists” continue to do nothing more than inflate each others’ egos, and act self-righteous about accomplishing absolutely nothing.

All the while, no one bats an eyelash when even deviantArt is literally crawling with fetish porn that hasn’t been properly labeled.  Don’t believe me?  Go search for literally any fucking cartoon.  What’s worse is that, half the time, these same people are themselves drawing sexualized content for cartoon fandoms (which, by the way, even includes Pinkiepony).  Even more hilarious is that a lot of these people genuinely don’t seem to realize that a very large chunk of the artists producing mature MLP content are women.  They then have the unmitigated gall to claim that women don’t do this in male-dominated fandoms, in spite of the fact that the fan base for a popular first-person-shooter about mercenaries fighting over land ownership is practically dominated by women, with it’s very own image board, and even naked player models, and naked models for use in Garry’s Mod, and Source Filmmaker.  I defy any of these “feminists” to search for anything related to Team Fortress 2, and not stumble upon truckloads of gay porn.

It is high fucking time that these people pull their heads out of their asses, and finally see the daylight.  How many kids have to be bullied before these people think to themselves, “Hey, maybe I shouldn’t be perpetuating negative stereotypes of other people, or reinforcing obsolete gender roles”?

What the fuck is it going to take before people fucking realize that enjoying a cartoon (whether they expected to or not) does not magically mold a person into someone else’s charicature?  There is no difference between the people you find in a fan base, and the people you encounter all around you on a daily basis.  Any random sampling of people, from anywhere in the entire fucking world, is going to contain a few people that aren’t exactly the most pleasant motherfuckers on the planet.  No matter where you look, you will still find racists.  You will still find bigotry.  That random sampling could come from your school, your neighborhood, or even a church - it wouldn’t fucking matter.  People are people, no matter where you go.  However, any group of people is still made up of individual thinking, feeling human beings, no matter how hard you try to scream at the moon that any of them are “all the same”.

Anyone that has to strip the humanity from other people to see them as anything other than people are the worst kind of people there are.

I always hate to just reblog Tena’s stuff but she always says it so much better than I can
