Quote: "I dont know about furries because i was never interested in that stuff but my guess is, furries think bronies are annoying because unlike bronies, furries aren nearly as much "in your face" about it as bronies, I do think furrie fandom is weird and i am guessing furries realize that and dont share it with the outside world, Being an MLP fan, i have a hard time resisting sharing the magic of friendship with people."
Yeah I think every 'fandom' or whatever you want to call this will have certain people who try to shove said fandom 'down your throat' and if you don't instantly like it they'll freak out
The bad thing is that those people and also the haters will make up most of the 'image' the people from the outside have of that fandom... but whatever, haters gonna hate. I'm not trying to convert bronies or bombard them with MLP content, so they can't complain.[/quote]

I also suspect that MLP FIM are a conspiracy, The cartoon was drawn out and animated to psychologically appeal to teenagers-adults on a subconios level completley zombyfying this particular age group. I myself am a little afraid as i dont remember getting so obsessed over something as much as i obsess over MLP. And its strange that MLP FIM apperaed right around the time when worldwide anti government protests started happening and the youth that suddenley became politically active and involved in occupy wallstreet and such, all of a sudden dropped their interest in politics and started obsessing over ponies (myself being an example). Of course this conflicts with another conspiracy theory involving the HAARP project, but maybe not, Maybe the obsession with ponies is infact a result of HAARP project. "
... what? xD
I think while FiM is a well produced, solid show it's mainly the brony fandom which makes people stay. Maybe people are tired of politics and other things, and need something to escape into (I'm there myself). But it's not that the show is a 'conspiracy' for triggering that... people choose to get into it, and inspire eachother instead of hating/trolling or whatever. The parts of the fandom I've seen are pretty amazing in that there's no aggression or destructive criticism, and that's what I like about this.

That's what i meant! I mean, all artistic media can inspire or touch you, but that all this was born through FiM, and 4chan of all things... it's pretty amazing, isn't it?
Quote: "Ugh, I just feel like leaving the fandom now, anyway. Everything seems the same now. Same mediocre rap dominating the music, same artists taking the headline spots, same cookie cutter narratives for stories.
Quality aside, the repetition is doing my head in. I haven't visited eDaily since I completed Allegrezza. I just don't care about this fandom anymore, there's nothing to strive for a do that hasn't already been done, parodied, tributed to, fanarted, fan musiced, remixed, and plain-up copied...
I mean, I'm quitting writing soon anyway. I just haven't bothered keeping up with the show nor the fans lately. I just find it so hard to enjoy what bronydom's making now. "
That's a shame... but you been here much longer than I have, for example. I can see how it can get to you. I'm only here since 3-4 month now, and I'm still enjoying it
But people move on. You can't do this forever, that'd be very strange to say the least... So, CG, will you stop writing pony after the commissions? Or what did you mean by that... I'm still hoping you were just having a bad day, I'd love to atleast see Gumdrops & Heartstrings continued... but whatever you feel like is the best for you, well it's your decision. I hope everything works out for you and Dan
