I think "an outlet for pedophilia" is a pretty rational rebuttal.

It's come up before, so I'm prepared this time!

quote:

Ellie works for a media-based company wherein her usual job is being flown all over the US, attending cons and interviewing the VAs. She’s a cool, friendly little Latina lady and as a result, keeps in contact with a lot of the folks she interviews. One actress posted a picture of a MLP character (a head on a pike, I believe) and what I think happened was, it showed up on Ellie’s feed. She mighta clicked like for it or something. Either way, the image was attributed to Ellie. And the harassment flooded in like a little Dutch boy had lost a finger. She was swamped with hate mail, angry posts and even death threats. She contacted site administrators multiple times and would have their accounts banned, but of course they’d rereg and continue harassing her. Some posts would inform the others of which con she would be attending next and encourage the rest to follow her there.

Well, at one con (and I think this was in California), she was hanging out with the VA who started it all. The VA was naturally dumbfounded and explained she just thought the picture was funny. Ellie understood and was just as confused about the mess as the VA. Ellie then excused herself to the bathroom and went along her merry way. Now, like I said, she’s a small woman. Probably tops off at 5’1”, thereabouts. Just before she reaches the bathroom, she hears someone sharply call out to her. She turns around and something just… happens. There’s a brief flash, she realizes she’s on the ground and there’s a man in a purple shirt and brightly colored wig rushing from the scene while everyone stands around wondering what just happened. She’s helped up, asked if she’s alright and can feel blood dribbling down her face from her newly busted lip.

She returns to the VA’s table and the VA asks what happened. Ellie explains, and the VA gets royally pissed off. She writes some very pointed posts and was even willing to mention it at a panel, but Ellie begs her not to as she’s embarrassed enough about the ordeal. The incident is cited as a victory by her digital harassers and while the fervor died down after that, she was getting angry emails as recently as this year.

So that’s the story of how a friend was punched by a Brony. If it seems confusing, it is. I read what I just wrote and am confused by it. Weird poo poo. Confusing poo poo. lovely poo poo.

And then I made a comic about it:

United forever in friendship and magic,
Our mighty kingdom will ever endure.
The Great Land of Equestria will live through the ages.
The dream of everypony their fortress secure.

Long live our Equestria motherland,
Built by the pony's mighty hoof.
Long live everypony, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by Luna.
Long may our rainbow flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all ponies to see.

Through days dark and stormy where Great Celestia lead us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of friendship above
And Twilight Sparkle our leader with faith in the ponies,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love.

I'm no horse expert, but I'm 90% sure their legs don't bend that way. I get real upset when I see bad art with horse legs bent the wrong way, because all I see is a horse with a broken leg that's gonna get put down.

Holy poo poo some of you are disgusting. You think you're better than a brony? You're below slime

So wait, are you or are you not a pedophile?

I'm really surprised at all the people defending bronies itt. In past brony threads it was predicted that bronies would be accepted one day. And I guess that day is upon us.

But gently caress pedophiles. I don't believe every brony is a pedophile, obviously. But I guarantee there's something weird going on in all of our brains. Big woop really.

The worst I've done is peg my boyfriend while wearing a pony shirt.

Me too. Bronies are a fandom and, like every fandom, they exist along a spectrum of weirdness that runs from the harmless and mundane to the batshit insane. If every fandom were judged by its worst elements, Bronies wouldn't even be in the top ten.
