It's a link to the normal "Heaven On Their Minds" ... I'm sure there's a version which works in Germany elsewhere on Youtube.

But I agree, this fandom has become pretty shitty during the last two month.

Hopefully it will get better, once Season Two begins.

It's really sad.
In April, I was proud to be part of this.
Now I am just ashamed...

We really became the new furries...

I think there's hope for us yet - it's a very creative fandom, and we were much better when the show was actually on the air, but the public perception of us terrifies me. We like a show about cute ponies, but they're going to think it's a sexual fetish, if they don't already. That would shut any declaration that you're "proud to be a Brony" far out from polite society. Thing is, after seeing a lot of what this fandom creates ... I'm not sure the haters would be wrong here.

Pegasi: Seriously, stop thinking as a part of a massive, multipersonal entity... not all the bronies are alike, and you shouldn't care about what the others do >_<

You might be a brony, but in the end you're just Pegasi, a guy who likes the series... if there is people that likes ponies for other reasons you find disfgusting, just ignore them. If you're afraid that people who doesn't know anything about FiM thinks all the Bronies are perverts, that's their problem... that only proves they know NOTHING, and I'm afraid to tell you that this world is filled with lots of ignorants that think bad about things they are not familiar with: videogames, manga, adults watching cartoons, etc U_U

So you wouldn't be bothered if "I'm a Brony" became just as stigmatized as "I'm a pervert," "I'm a furry," "I'm a pedophile?" Does that have anything to do with the show?

Remember how when the show was on the air, the only real flamewars happening were with people wanting to ban pony? Now there's flamewars all over, fighting with each other. See any Nyx picture. People are creating sicker and sicker stuff just for the hell of it. Pinkie Pie is a murderer, Sweetie's a pooping retard and the show is getting warped into a funhouse mirror. Where do we go from here?

This isn't the loving and tolerating fandom about adorable ponies that we theoretically wanted to be.

More to the point, it's very insular and closed-off. It's a fandom that creates great and terrible things, but is also eating itself, and fighting with itself, ignorant of what the outside world would think of what they're doing.

"To hell with anyone who's never watched FiM and thinks we're weird or sick" is not a way to live -- that closes off most of the world, and if South Park did an episode about guys jerking off to a children's show, the quality of the show itself would be moot. And we'd be in big trouble across the internet. And we'd also have it coming.

It's gotten shitty? I was sure it was getting better. People have been calmer, addressing trolls with love and tolerance, or not at all, which of course is troll death. I'm pretty sure most of the public is still unaware of us. Things are all right. Keep calm and carry on.

There's also a difference between "some porn existing of a TV show" and a fandom being defined by porn, which could easily happen. Furries are now largely defined as a sexual fetish, and demonized across most of the internet.

It's also very ironic and goes against the message of the show when you see some of the more demeaning, objectifying stuff, like we can't even look at a regular My Little Pony without turning it into a sexual object of some kind. It's a fairly feminist show starring strong, independent, interesting and complex female characters, and here we are doing the same horrible shit the internet does to everything.

It's so predictably lame and awful, and it would be nice if we could be better than that, especially since the general public has a very different reaction to furry/pony porn than to some dumb Harry Potter fanfic or whatnot.

#436535: Nope, as long as I know what I am I don't care what a bunch of ignorants can think... it simply can't hurt me :)

Thing is, there will ALWAYS be haters. There will always be people who get us wrong, no matter what fandom it is. There will always be people who try to make us look bad.

Instead of being negative, let's see it this way: We are the fandom of a show that holds friendship and love above all else. So that's how we beat them. We love them to hell and back.

We love them, and that's how we win.

Oftentimes, I talk to my parents and friends about FiM. Oftentimes, I try to get them to watch an episode or 2. If they don't like it, I'm cool with that. At least they gave it a try. But when I talk to those same people about bronies, I often mention at somepoint that many are "crazy, and I'm proud to not be nearly as crazy as them"...

This really put my words into great perspective. I KNOW not all bronies are crazy... But I wonder just how crazy we ARE getting? Is this normal? What makes a brony "crazy" anyways? Hmmm... Or am I thinking too far into this? Should I just accept it and ignore all the nasty stuff like I always do? I'm not sure what to do... Can somepony help me figure out some understanding? How do I stay a brony without being a steriotype...?

I could ignore whole shitty part altogether if only not 1 thing. There is difference between being condemned for liking TV show about ponies and being called "fetishist" and "pervert" because some other people are obsessed with pony porn and thus give bad reputation for everyone.

"How do I stay a brony without being a steriotype...?"

Togeyosh: Just by being yourself and not letting what other people may think affect you ;)

I mean, I am a Brony because I watch the series and I truly like them. If I also like other "perspectives" of the series, that's something else, It doesn't form part of what it means to be a Brony. Simple as that :)

I'm added "drama" tags to this, though melodrama would probably be more accurate.

Christ, folks. There are freaking millions of fans of the series and 90% of its propagation has been through the net. There aren't isn't a test to determine if you qualify to term yourself as a brony, the only thing you need to do is recognize that the show can be enjoyed no matter what your age.
EqD is still seen as the primary "brony" site, and it has plenty of content restrictions that let it function as a relatively wholesome public face for the Brony community.
In the meantime, I prefer Ponibooru as the one-stop-shop for all pony related artwork, since it allows both porn and non-porn and filters so people can avoid anything particularly offensive to their sensibilities.
Part of being a brony is recognizing that My Little Pony is something that can be enjoyed by children AND adults, and as an adult, that means I can ALSO enjoy mature adult content. Just because these are strong, independent, interesting, and complex female characters doesn't mean they need to be nuns. Those are characteristics for which I enjoy those characters, and being an adult, I like to see the characters I like deal with other situations as well; ranging from comical to grim to sexual in nature.

Goodness gracious, our precious fandom is not safe from flamewars and rule34, even thought we innocently believed that the magic of ponies will make us one perfect fandom that is above all those things that happen to every single fanbase on the Internet!

Jimmy and Grey... You make great points! And I guess I did feel a little panicked earlier... Okay. I'll continue to be what I always am and enjoy ponies like I always have. This fandom may still be crazy in places... but so is every other fandom. I'm still proud to call myself a brony!

Togeyosh: That's the attitude! :P

We are all Bronies because we like the series, and that's the only thing that should connect all of us towards other people's eyes :P

The rest is up to each individual person and their own personal likes/dislikes. Let's put it this way:

Being a Brony is A.

Enjoying other pony-related stuff is B.

We can be "As" or "A+Bs", but the important thing is that we all have an "A" in common ;)

^ In other words, we're just a typical fandom. Sometimes united, sometimes conflicted, like EVERY fandom. Don't expect bronies to be archangels of the Internet, or something.

I disagree... many people are still friendly love everything but as with everything you have jackasses... you will always have jackasses wherever you go and this fan base is no exception. doesnt really matter what others think about the fanbase as a whole because its to diverse to classify.

It's important to talk about it when you think a friend is doing something wrong. Friends help each other.

But it's also important to remember that they're your friends first, not monsters or morons. Don't demonize people who do things you think are wrong. You'll break your friendship and accomplish nothing towards making things better.

(As for porn? It exists, and what's more, it's existed from the beginning. But just as fewer people drew it or sought it out, fewer people got their knickers in a knot about it when it came up.

I don't know what the right answer is. How the fuck should I know. But the point is that when you encounter someone who does something you think is bad, there's a middle ground between "defend their behavior" and "villify them".)
