Wait so we do we even bother to call ourselves bronies? If we're apparently just a furry subculture? |
| Anonymous #474560 10 months ago |
I love how furries will retroactively brand something as part of the furry culture so they can feel better about themselves, anyone who likes talking animals is automatically a furry guys! |
| Fuzzy_Logic #474572 10 months ago |

What's with this chocolate rainstorm about FA having a MLPFiM banner as a joke?
Some people need some Element of Laughter injected into their veins |

Shit guys, take a joke. |
| Muffinoffun #474594 10 months ago |
By the way guys I drew this because I found the whining of furfags over the banner to be hilariously hypocritical. |

#474572 Look at the comic you just posted retard, only a complete asshole could not see that the pony community will get lumped in with furries who already have a bad enough reputation online. We know our community is different than the furries but people outside the fandom won't, and we'll automatically be put in the same boat as those sonic fanboys in short, YOU'RE NOT FUCKING HELPING! |

It's al envy.
Seriously guys, it is. I'm a furry, you can take my opinion for what is worth, but let me tell you something: I can go to work, put my Rainbow Dash doll on my monitor, and have a nice normal day without worries. What I can't do, however, is spend time checking out FurAffinity. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't shame me to be a brony. However, it does shame me to be a furry, even on the internet, and many times it has to do with the loudmouths that don't know how to take a joke. |

Is that all? Fears over being lumped in with furries? I can't say that that isn't ridiculous, because it is ridiculous.
Everyone knows that the brony fandom started up on it's own, and has since had everyone get involved in the community - including people who are part of the furry community. If you people are so afraid that the brony community - that is made of members from all backgrounds, nationalities, and ages - being lumped together with a completely different group, then you're really over-reacting. Anybody outside of the fandom can see that the MLP fan community is it's own entire group/subculture. |

You can tell we're not furries because we don't have sex with IRL ponies all that often. |
| Anonymous #474735 10 months ago |
asdf are we still talking about this? Puh-leeze. |
| Zincy #474757 10 months ago |
I'm a furry who tries to avoid FA like the plague. Its a dumping ground for the worst of us (with the occasional decent piece of art buried) and doesn't represent the whole fandom. Every fandom has its bad apples (some of comments here represent ours very well) and shouldn't reflect on the whole. |

@Mattatatta
The problem is that us being lumped in with furries IS a big deal. Furries are internet lepers plain and simple. We could debate whether or not they deserve it (they do) but that's a different topic all together. The point is if bronies become like Sonic fans in the sense that we basically become a furry sub genre than we as a fandom die. Plain and simple. |
| Anonymous #474969 10 months ago |
The most hilarious thing of all is that while some bronies are losing their shit because they don't want to be associated with furries, some furries over on FA are losing their shit because they hate MLP and don't want it all over their site.
It's like twin shitstorms, spiraling around each other in a massive shit pressure system. |
| Anonymous #475159 10 months ago |
Muffinoffun: the Sonic fans brought it on themselves with their crappy recolor OCs. Even if they weren't associated with the furries, they would be shunned. Pray we never walk down that same dark path. |

Hey, if you people don't want to be associated with furries, stop becoming more and more like them. |
| Arandur #477669 10 months ago |
<o o> Huh. Okay, I can see two possible reasons why bronies would not want to be associated with furries (being both, myself, but adamantly eschewing the sexual aspects of both fandoms).
First possibility: because classifying brony as a subset of furry would necessarily equate brony with bestiality, animal fetishism, etc etc. This is demonstrably untrue; bestialists and animal fetishists are certainly a subset of the furry culture (albeit a regrettably large and/or vocal subset), and if we classify brony as also a subset of furry, there's no reason to suppose that brony has any overlap with the sicker parts of the fandom. If we go ahead and check Wikipedia for the Commonly Accepted Definition of furry, we get this: "Furry fandom is a fandom for fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics." That seems, to me, to include brony as a matter of course, whether or not the bronies will admit it. Second possibility: because associating brony with furry will give bronies a bad and shameful reputation. Umm... sorry to say it, guys, but we've already got a bit of that on us, and it's not going to go away. You can either be confident enough in yourself to accept what others think of you and move on, or you can leave the fandom to avoid mockery. ... Or, of course, you can argue about it on the internet. |
| Anonymous #477686 10 months ago |
there are two definitions of the word
one of them refers to people who like something with anthropomorphic animals in it the other is "people in the furry community" I get the feeling that the rampant conflation of the two meanings causes much of the trouble that crops up in these discussions |
