Description
Comments have been disabled due to some people finding it appropriate to act rude and/or negative, when this stamp is clearly implying being nice and positive.This is something that's been bothering me since I joined the MLP community... I've noticed that a lot of fans, and people who call themselves bronies, can be quite mean and judgmental of others. Especially to other fans of the show they just don't like for one reason or another. That isn't what MLP is about... it's about friendship, it's in the title for crying out loud! I got to thinking about this when listening to "Let the Rainbow Remind You" and how it's about strong their friendships are.
I think some of us really need lo listen to a lot of the lessons at the end of each episode and take them to heart. All of us are fans of the show, so why bicker and criticize over nonsense like shipping, character design, or even just "best pony"? So someone made an OC you think is ugly, so someone hates your favourite pony, so what? We've all got different opinions and tastes, and we should be accepting of that. Why split the fandom into pieces like this?
We should never judge others for any reason, and we should all treat each other with respect. Being kind isn't hard to do, especially when just typing on the computer! I don't know about others, but I personally, after watching the show through a couple of times, REALLY started listening to the lessons, some of the songs, and other things they learned, and I've taken them all to heart. I don't like hurting people's feelings, I don't like being rude, and I just want to be happy all the time! I'm sure others can agree with that.
Please, if you're really a fan of the show, always keep in mind; Friendship is Magic!

That's why I think MLP should end this generation and come back in another decade or so. The bronies have become so rabid and spiteful over the show itself AND its own fandom that they forget what MLP was, is, and always will be about: Friendship and kindness. It started that way, but now its become so skewered that there is NO hope left.

There is PLENTY of hope left! It's the people that act poorly and think negatively that just need to realize that they're misrepresenting the show's intentions. But the supporters far outweigh the ones who spread hate, for sure! The only reason there are people that act up is because they can hide behind their computers and remain anonymous. In person, at places like conventions, everyone is kind and gets along with each other, no matter their interests or appearance. That's such a fantastic feeling to be at a place like that and see everyone being happy and friendly. The "internet tough guys" in person almost never are how they act online, which is pretty dumb...

Outweighs? Sorry, but the ones who act poorly and misrepresent the shows intentions definitely outweigh the good by sheer numbers alone. The only reason people act like that in conventions is because 1: They are around like minded people and 2: They'll get their asses booted from the con if they don't abide by the rules.
Remember save derpy? The canterlot wedding? Twilight becoming an alicorn? Princess Molestia and Pinkiepony? EQUESTRIA GIRLS?! I'm sorry but the shitstorms that ensued during those cannot just be overlooked and brushed aside because some bronies think they represent the goodness in society with all their "love" and "kindness".

I'm sorry but, you're being extremely negative which is contributing to the problem. =\ Staying positive makes a big difference in the world...

Negativity doesn't always equal bad. I'm just looking at the problem through a more realistic angle, therefore I can get a more firm grasp on what the problem is, therefore I can try to eliminate the problem most efficiently.

I've noticed a lot of the whole judgement thing as well, some members of the fandom can be exceptionally rude

It's a shame that people act that way over a show that is literally to teach children the importance of being kind to others, accepting differences, and never to inappropriately judge others. =\

I agree with everything in this stamp. It's just too bad that there are ignorant rabid haters that generalizing every single MLP fan as retards and inhuman and they even give the sane haters a bad reputation...

I don't know why as a community we can't just all be accepting of each other, it's really NOT that hard. Here's how you do it: Just don't be mean! It's not difficult to ignore things or be nice, especially on the internet, because nobody is forcing you to look at any webpage and nobody is forcing you to make comments. What is the point of making someone feel down about themselves on purpose? I thought we as people learn not to do that in like pre-school. =\

Says the person with bloodΒ all overΒ her profile page. It all starts with the individual, and you seem pretty messed up yourself.

Hobbies and behavior are TWO things.... -_- You never heard that?? How you can judge a person by her / his profile page /or hobbies?!

Says the person who has a weird ass fetish of seeing cartoon characters crossdressing. Do you even fap to that? Go out for once in your life and do something else, you shameless asshole.

I'd say those who are really messed up are those who just can't accept other people. You're a perfect example of that, congrats. You're today's biggest asshole.

Seriously, look in the mirror and think you have Β right to judge anyone weirdo.

Says the person who stereotype people who like gore. Just because I like gore doesn't mean I'm "messed up".

Since I joined the community, it seems like there's been a disconnect from the show's lessons. Not with everyone, of course, but many people are more critical and less invested in the community's success than in the early days. I think now that the brony fandom is "a thing" people don't feel like they need to actively work to make it better. No one is perfect and not everyone is going to get along all the time, but I think it's important to remember what it is that makes our community special and try to put those ideals into practice as best we can. So yea, I like this.Β

Yes, exactly! Sure we don't all have to get along and be best friends, but we certainly don't have to go out of our way to be mean to one another. I see some people saying that what makes this a bad fandom is "all of those terrible OC's" but that isn't what's making it bad. It's the people saying it's bad and telling people their characters are terrible! If they just left alone the OC's they don't like, then it would be fine. Don't look at things you don't like, and let everyone do their own things to make themselves happy.
I think that if someone comes across an OC they don't like, instead of criticizing it, they should leave it alone, and go be productive and design something that they do like.

Every fandom I know of supposedly has the same problem. If you don't go looking for OCs you probably aren't going to see that many, except for the really popular ones which are usually kinda cool. So again, I think you're absolutely right. It's all about having a god attitude and not worrying about little things.

That's exactly why people complain about the Sonic fandom, too. And yeah definitely! People make way too big of a deal over a silly drawings of colourful cartoon horses. XD
