Says the guy with the pony avatar.

Maybe if I change it we can move on.

You're just as guilty for spurring the topic, intentionally or not. Even if it does come up, why does it provoke you so? Why is it everyone can treat every other obnoxiously overplayed thing on the internet like yesterday's news, but Ponies manage to get under everyone's skin?
|
Because of two things: one, the weird brony culture which Nepsotic is doing a great job exemplifying; and two, the reactionary anti-brony brigade which crawls out of the woodwork and conflates liking MLP with being part of the weird brony culture.

You have control over what you're exposed to on these forums (and on the internet, for that matter) and should you get frustrated to stumble upon a pony-related post, then I reiterate; grow a backbone.
|
The extent to which I have control is limited to avoiding posts I have no desire to see. How do I do this while also reading threads I do want to see, because it’s way too easy for this shit to crop up and a bunch of off-topic crap to appear.

The extent of this pony gravitational pull you refer to with such indignation has been a few avatars and a couple off-hand posts at most. If you want to be part of the solution, change your avatar to something else and stop getting so ass-mad when it's brought up.

It took up
an entire page of I Have Just Seen, we have a bunch of blogposts on the subject, and I’ve lost track of the offhand remarks that get made whether warranted or not.

It's a cartoon that a lot of people on the internet happen to like. It's no fucking different than the kind of shit you see with Sonic or every anime ever made ever.

This statement is absolutely correct. I
like the show itself. But the difference is that on this forum, people don’t go around with Sonic avatars talking about how much they love Sonic in every thread, stirring up arguments as they go. And there’s not a 30-plus-page thread dedicated to Sonic where one user in particular confesses to wanting some hedgehog spine dildos.
