I heard the word 'turned on' and got the wrong idea... Or I think I got what he was implying.
They're focusing on just one bit of the fandom. One bit that makes anyone go 'ew, that's horrible, I hate bronies'. They briefly went over that bronies like the show for its art, etc, etc, but they're trying to start a shitstorm here. Rule 34, clopping, plot, 'sweet pony ass'.
"Oh, it gets crazier. Stick with this."
Yeah, and fuck you, because you're interested in this. There's weird people in every fandom that think the characters are hot. And heck, somewhere on the internet we've all seen that sick Scooby-Doo or Kim Possible or whatever kid's show tickles your fancy sorta porn. It's sick and horrible, not many people like it.
It's also disgusting how they're laughing. This guy's talking about being called a terrorist randomly, and suddenly there's this manical laughter. I mean, come on. Argh.
"And a bunch of other random stuff" "What other strange things had he gotten into?"
"The fuck is he talkin' about."
"Waste of time."
"I'm afraid to watch my little ponies now."
And my last quote,
"We're not all cloppers."
This is all negative and stupid, and I hate this Howard Stern guy. I don't know who he is, but he doesn't deserve to be on this radio show or whatever the fuck he's on. According to Wikipedia, he says he's 'The Kind of All Media'.
Ever heard of the internet, Howie? No? Fuck you then.

Guys, Howard Stern is fameous for being a troll, so don't get mad. I more enjoyed laughing at his ignorance more than anything else, its like a clown pretending not to see the pie being thrown at his face, its really funny, and acting surprised when it hits. I'm sure he knows full well thats the extreme cases, but its not as entertaining for his fans if they just tried to understand it, than it is to mock it.

He was mostly known as a "shock jock" DJ type person, just being as offensive as possible to get attention.
Think of him like theonion, he's just satire. But he's not as funny as the onion. He's really old now, way past his prime.

As much as it may annoy you, some people do see us as a laughing stock, a great way to stop this is just to laugh along!
People will usually respect and like you more if you do that than if you just get pissed
I know this stuff herpy, but it is so INFURIATING to know that people are agreeing with him. It's just unfair that he should be aloud to spout this without a single hold-up, just to increase the prejudice we already face. Maybe if we had some way of getting to the people who agree with this, and show them what we are REALLY about, but that is easier said than done. I find it hard to laugh along when people compare us to gays. Not because I have things against gays, not at all, but it blows the issue WAY out of proportion.

How do you know those were 'actual' bronies? It's more likely that these were people that were specifically hired to say those responses.Even if he's famous for being a troll, what's his audience going to think? The responses from real bronies at bronycon just make bronies look really bad. Really really bad.

From eqd:
"Bronycon Press Release:
BronyCon has heard your concerns about the Howard Stern Show's portrayal of the fandom. We have determined that the show conducted all interviews outside of the venue, off of BronyCon grounds. While it's unfortunate that these folks decided to come out and act in such an unprofessional manner, we feel it is best to shrug off the typical reaction and instead focus on those press outlets that gave our community a fair story.

And I still consider brony a subset of furries.
For those that are not furries and don't remeber this, here's one neat example of the clean vs dirty fighting that went on. http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Burned_Furs
But it was an winnable battle, so the lesson I got from it is in MLP the cloppers are here to stay, and the media will always just point their cameras and microphones at them, and there's nothing we can do about it.

The brony trademark line is "Love and tolerate", correct? Howard Stern targets the already slightly discriminated subcategory of bronies; cloppers. By doing so and putting down bronies as a whole, this causes the non-clopper bronies to react like this: "not all bronies are cloppers" or "only the gross bronies clop" etc.
This is not how we should react. By saying 'not all bronies are cloppers' after Howard suggests 'cloppers are sad, sick people', we are not defending cloppers but we are pretty much saying 'we're not all bad'. This suggests we're saying cloppers are the bad ones.
To each his own, right? Love and tolerate. Howard liked babysitter porn, SO WHAT? I will not judge him for his fetishes, and people, especially bronies, should not judge cloppers for theirs.
Cloppers aren't sick people. I defend them since one of my good friends is one, and after explaining to me everything I understood him. Well, please keep reading and understand them:
We love MLP, am I right? The cute faces, the precious giggles and expressions, the adorable voices (thanks Ashleigh; Tara!)... Now, a sub-section of us get aroused by this happy attitude that ponies have; the cute faces and remarks, whatever it is! Quite accurately, most of the attraction is due to mental aspects of the ponies and not physical aspects (this mental-attraction is called sapiosexuality, and is a pro!).
Honestly, with the ponies being ponies and all... What physical attributes might even be appealing or differentiate them from regular porn besides mental aspects? Plus they don't even have breasts, so the only reason one would clop to them over regular porn would be their personality and mental aspects. Their physical cuteness and perfectness adds to this obviously... But come on, everyone would hug a Twilight making a cute face.
Since ponies are asexual and all, it's understandable that R34 and cloppers would add the "necessary" parts to these ponies which would make them possible or "eligible" to clop to. They need to have physical attributes that can at least support them even though their mental attributes are what really shine.
Do not let Howard turn us bronies on ourselves. If you are a fan of MLP, you are a brony. I don't care what other things you do!
I hope I explained cloppers to everyone, as I hate seeing them being misunderstood and discriminated against by bronies especially just to make regular bronies look that much better. Sapiosexuality fuels clopping, and that trait is a very good attribute to have (sapiosexuality)! So if anything, cloppers should be loved with equality to regular bronies.
If you've read this far, spread my message! If not, the tl;dr is below ;(
Tl;dr: Don't let Howard turn us on ourselves. Cloppers are sapiosexual which is good, not sick or demented. Love and tolerate. All bronies are one.
P.S: Tara Strong tweeted she loved cloppers too. Direct quote: "Not that I don't love you <3!".

Do you see how this translates? This is why I believe we should treat cloppers with equality and not hate. Many bronies hate them because they've caused people to generalize, but come on guys, what is our saying? Love and tolerate. To each his own. If we don't accept cloppers then how can we rightfully expect society to accept us bronies?

No offense, but you really misunderstood me. Like what Ratty said, Bronies are commonly stereotyped as cloppers when most don't even think about it, and furries aren't usually sexual at all. Both are just judged by misconceptive media who think all of them are sexual.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's not 20%. 10 at most. I agree with Rapid, I do tolerate cloppers but I dont like how the media portrays all of us as them. I don't hate on cloppers, but I don't like them either.

Sadly the reaction to this video also brings out another point which is a larger part of the problem as a whole.
We take ourselves to seriously, honestly guys I don't know about you but we are not a "movement" we are not something people need to be "converted" to.
Love and Tolerance is complete bull and we need to stop forcing down everyone's throat.
We put too much faith into this show that we are becoming almost irrational zealots. This is a show about cartoon ponies, it has its good bits and it has flaws. It is not some kind of almighty reckoning that will usher in the golden age or something.
There has been better and more developed cartoon shows in the past which MLP can hardly live up to. We really need to focus and put things into perspective.
Just enjoy it for what it is, and don't worry about what other people think.
Que sera sera.

The Ursa Minor would have made the wreckage of Ponyville Town Hall its nest, Discord AND Nightmare Moon would be ruling together in darkness as well as chaos, and then given birth to Queen Chrysalis and the first changeling. Rarity would be a slave to the diamond dogs, and Equestria's entire economy would be controlled from the shadows by Flim and Flam in a shady, cider based operation.

First of all, love and tolerance DOES have an indirect relationship with FiM. Bronies are an easy and I mean EASY target to hate on. Hence the motto 'love and tolerate' was put into play to combat the haters in a mature fashion.
Spiffington's post was, in my opinion, confused. Without a conflict, how do you expect a cartoon to be created? Discord and Changelings have absolutely nothing to do with our motto's.
To regard the previous page...: What do you mean "force love and tolerance down their throats"? That's an enormously contradictory thing to say. Love and tolerance is about tolerating the haters, and love is in there to tell us not to hate. I agree with whoever said its a great motto to live by. Also, it's certainly not "complete bullcrap" as someone kindly guessed, it is a mature and smart move which will save time and get the haters off your back.
FaffleMaster is also one of the few who know their stuff. As Mark Twain said, "Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you to their level and beat you by experience".

This means exactly what you are doing with this post. Implying "love and tolerate" should be the motto of everyone in the fandom, saying that it is "our number 1 rule", that it is that it was in some way "put in place". Disagreeing viciously with anyone who doesn't share that opinion. Insidiously splitting the community up into "Bronies" who "love and tolerate" and "haters" who don't. That sort of thing. It's the language of blinkered zealotry and is extremely offputting both to fellow members of the fandom and outside observers.What do you mean "force love and tolerance down their throats"?

I never viciously replied, I don't know where you got that from. Also, you are making things up. I never said anything about HAVING to follow by love and tolerance, I encouraged it and defended it. You need to re-read my post and notice how not once did I say "it's our motto", rather I said "it's a great motto to have".
I also never said that anyone who doesn't go by that motto is a hater. I said it's a great motto to have to combat haters (people who hate on us for liking mlp).
I apologize you couldn't reply without bending my words to fit your post's accusations, but I suggest you thoroughly read my post next time.

Quite the contrary, Stern & Co. are not stupid. Their job is to provoke and get a reaction, and entertain those who aren't being victimised. He's done enough research to do that effectively and is really quite clever. He knows what makes an audience tick.While Howard Stern made me angry due to his ignorance, I couldn't hate him for long. Stupidity is a useless thing to hate.
It's the people that believe him unquestioningly that you might call stupid, but those folks are just looking for some light-hearted entertainment.

This is what I meant by viscious replies. Perhaps viscious was too harsh a word, but they read like personal attacks to me:
Directly saying another member is part of the problem.You're an example of how Howard is turning bronies on ourselves.
Obvious sarcasm, implying the person who made the statement was being unkind. Which they weren't.Also, it's certainly not "complete bullcrap" as someone kindly guessed, it is a mature and smart move which will save time and get the haters off your back.
Implying that the rest of the people in this thread don't know their stuff and are idiots. That's the ad hominem attack I mentioned earlier.FaffleMaster is also one of the few who know their stuff. As Mark Twain said, "Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you to their level and beat you by experience".
And then you continued when I called you out on it:
Implyiing that I make things up and that I said something I never did.Also, you are making things up. I never said anything about HAVING to follow by love and tolerance, I encouraged it and defended it.
Passive agressive, implying I didn't read your posts and that my accusations are unfounded.I apologize you couldn't reply without bending my words to fit your post's accusations, but I suggest you thoroughly read my post next time.
And this is all because of a difference of opinion about a fandom saying!
I honestly liked your oringal post in this thread, but this discussion of love and tolerance has become rather uncivil. Hopefully you can understand my objections to your posts more clearly now (if not my objection to your strong opinions regarding your motto).

Posting nasty stuff about you all? I'm just standing up for my opinion. I'm not cursing, not name-calling, and below I prove that I didn't even "ad hominem" anyone. I never even added adjectives to my inquiries like you did. Ex: "Viciously, blinkered zealority, offputting". In fact, the only slightly personal attack I did was the last quote you quoted, and that was just sarcasm.
The first quote was from my post about cloppers... I'm not sure how that's supposed to fit into our "love and tolerance" argument. And yes, that brony was a great example of how we were turning on ourselves. I don't see how pointing that out offended you so much, but don't expect me to generalize everything because that will cause people to reply thinking "oh that's not me, better ignore that". Think Londom Bridge, 1616 =P)
Yes, thank you for pointing out that it was sarcasm (like this is). And yes, saying something someone's defending is "complete bullcrap" is unkind and pretty immature. Just disagree, don't attack someone's thoughts directly.
No, Verdana, I was replying to Howard Stern. I was agreeing with Faffle by saying he knew his stuff, and then throwing in Mark Twain's quote. Faffle was replying to Howard Stern, and by saying "don't argue with an idiot" I meant Howard Stern. Honestly I can't see how you mixed that up, but I have a strong feeling it was because you've yet again tried to mold my words into what you want them to say.
You said, in quote, "Implying 'love and tolerate' should be the motto of everyone in the fandom". So yeah, you did say that. And furthermore, you were making things up since you falsely accused me of implying the above quote.
Honestly I don't see why you're analyzing this as opposed to displaying your counter-argument, but I'll regard this anyway. It was sarcastic, not passive aggressive. If it was passive-aggressive, I don't see it as terribly offensive. And yes, your reply to my previous post made it seem like you hadn't read half my post.
It isn't exactly about a difference of opinion. I wouldn't have gotten sarcastic those two times if I hadn't had been called "vicious, off-putting and nasty". Seriously, for people who are just cruising along posts and not reading the argument, they would get a bad impression on anyone who's called that (so, me).
I'm glad you liked it! That post was much more fun to write then these, and I can accept that you have a differing opinion if you can accept mine. Honestly I wasn't even prepared for someone to retort about my mentioning 'love and tolerance', I would have rather stayed on the first topic I addressed.
Hopefully no hard feelings.

Sure, I didn't understand you were talking about Howard Stern with your Mark Twain quote, so sorry to have jumped to conclusions there, it wasn't clear to me in context that you weren't talkling about the other posters you had just been disagreeing with earlier in you post.Hopefully no hard feelings.
I still feel you're misrepresnting me saying I was making something up, you calling love and tolerance our number one rule does imply to me that you think everyone should follow it, and you must admit you've defended that position quite zealously (as anyone would be able to see reading the last few pages of this thread). I personally disagree, but it is your opinion! Saying you didn't imply that seems disingenuous.
Anyhow, lets try and move on.

he wouldn't know talent if it bit him on the ass.
You're not giving him credit, he judges America's Got Talent. But you're right. Really all this has done is make us talk about cloppers and how they are terrible/aren't terrible. It might have a good outcome, but really I think that now we can just say Howard Stern's a jerk and then leave it at that.

I gave up on America's Got Talent even before he started judging, Shannon and Pierce are good judges but they go through judge 3's faster than Hogwarts goes through Defense against the Dark Arts teachers. Stern dosn't deserve much more attention from me Shock Jocks aren't that interesting.You're not giving him credit, he judges America's Got Talent. But you're right.

I cannot express my anger for you. So I'll do my best to type coherently. I speak on behalf of the brony community. I'm sure you've recieved hundreds (if not thousands) of emails from my fellow bronies about your misinformed and ridiculous comments on bronies from this little number (!), but let me just go ahead and reiterate what I'm sure they've all told you.
ONE: We are not all cloppers. While there are some in the community who do partake in this (which is their own choice I guess, even though personally I think it's pretty deviant and weird), it is certainly not what makes someone a brony. Someone who clops is likely satisfying their own fetishes or what have you, and are just using the MLP fan community as an outlet for that. Which, again, I'm not opposed to, but personally I don't partake in it. And personally, I'm more of a brony than anyone I know. By the way, if you only ask questions about MASTURBATION and SEX, you're going to get answers about MASTURBATION and SEX. Why didn't you ask about what we stand for, or something more worthwhile?
TWO: Would you please ask a brony what they believe the brony community stands for? Because not once, NOT ONCE, did you ask anyone at the con what they think that is. Well you're in luck, cause I'm going to tell you. Bronies make up an interlocked community of people looking out for each other. Our motto is: Love and Tolerance. The best way to deal with senseless haters like you? Love and tolerate them. No matter who a given person is, they are always welcomed into the brony community, and are loved and tolerated. There is NOTHING deviant about firmly believing in the gospel of love and tolerance this show preaches.
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting the slander that you created into this world. Because of what you've done, you've may well have silenced many who have embraced the show, making them believe that they are somehow misguided and even wrong for enjoying the show and it's message. How would you feel if the 28 year old you interviewed who suffered from depression heard the interview online later, and what you were saying about bronies (and him, a fellow brony)? What if the brony community was the only thing keeping him anchored to this world? What if maybe, just maybe, this show and it's community was actually helping him through a serious clinical disorder that was pushing him to commit self harm on himself? Maybe even suicide? Did you ever consider that maybe that's why he took the time to travel all the way out to bronycon? To be with a community of unconditional love and acceptance, who would perhaps help him through his very dark times? No, of course you didn't. Or else you wouldn't have slammed every single brony the way you did.
I've heard about you from my father and other people I know. UNIVERSALLY, I've only heard negative things about you. When I did hear those things, I always disregarded them. After hearing this twisted, messed up interpretation on something so close to my heart, I know I'll never take you seriously for the rest of my life. I am a very accepting and peaceful person, and I literally never get angry at people. When I do, I usually keep to myself and let it simmer down privately. I cannot do this with you. You are the most insensitive, unconsidering, misinformed man I've ever heard in any type of media, and the fact that you have your own radio program and are allowed to throw the garbage you call programming into the world is, frankly, astonishing. For the rest of my life, I will always associate the name Howard Stern and the Howard Stern Show with illegitimacy, misinterpretation, ruthlessness, cruelty, and jerks, like you.
However, as a brony, I would like you to know that I tolerate the fact that you will always be spewing filth into the world, and there's not much I can do about it, other than offer you this message in hopes that you will reconsider your ways. It's not too late, of course (it's never too late), to take back what you said, but I can't see you doing that. Not you.
I'm a 17 year old male, by the way, and I was at the last bronycon and will be attending the next one. Please look for me there. I'll have some choice words for your fucking interview, and I'll defend myself and my fellow bronies against whatever misinformed question you throw at me."
I emailed this to robert stern upon finishing the video.

1) Mr.stern has been doing this for years, he is a shock jock, and this kind of response is what he was looking for,
2) The interviews here were NOT recorded at bronycon, nor was there evidence that they were even real bronies.
3) This show has no official gospel.
4) If you went to your father and friends about him, you would have known that he basically feeds off of rage.
I'm not against you, but it's these kinds of reactions that keeps him going, and don't be surprised if this and several other emails become part if a new segment about brony butthurt. Once again, I am not against you. But it's being quiet that will shut him up.
Oh, and of COURSE he isn't going to ask questions that makes us look good, when he is out to piss us off.

He's doing a "negative report on bronies". Don't expect to find positivism or anything "for" us in a negative report. I'm as ticked off about what he did as you are though, Eighth.

Fair enough, I actually hadn't heard that he was like that from the people I've talked to but it does make sense. I've literally never been that angry at anyone before, especially since becoming a brony, and I just needed to say what I had to say. What's done is done, I guess. I seriously can't stand him. What a douche.
