Comment Expired Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Memes exist because people are instinctively drawn to copying things and spreading them rather than doing their own thing. Hence why this exists. Quote Tumblr: Where facts and logic go to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezon shall Return Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I know Omishade, but that generally is the strongest argument that they could offer agaist MLP, and even that is rather weak. Particularly since most people here are not creepy old guys and most bronies here are probably teenagers. Though I myself find little harm in it, after all I could see why some guys might like it for the good animation and voice acting and watch it not because they are weird but because it does have sort teen element in it. However, I personally don’t care to watch it. Although, it would be just like watching the Power Puff Girls, which I had in the past or Kim Possible only more pink and "magical".

Phovos Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 My eyes are rolling at the pony discussion in this thread. Anyway, yes, memes have suddenly got a stronger influence because BZP hasn't been here to create it's own internal memes and in-jokes. Quote Click here to read The Bohrok-Kal's Ramblings!

Lewa0111 Nuva Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I did notice that most of the old BZP memes have mostly vanished. (No sign of connor/KATSF quotes, "92% of..." signatures, PBZPs, or "Matoro died to..." posts yet, thank goodness)! But yes, the pony thing is...odd.

Alyska Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 My closing argument can be found by looking up my video "War on the Bronies".War now? Seriously? But... just... why? The bronies of BZPower, as far as I can tell, have done nothing to you. In fact, throughout all this time you've been bashing them, they have shown you an inhuman amount of tolerance and patience. That's what bronies do. But I've got bad news for you, bub. I ain't a brony. I'm all out of patience and tolerance. I have had it with your offensive, sexist, immature attitude and I'm considering reporting you. Quote 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosthands Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 My closing argument can be found by looking up my video "War on the Bronies". OK, that video was going a bit far. I personally dislike the whole pony thing, and seeing the pictures everywhere does annoy me, and I can't pretend I understand the enthusiasm for it. But if that's how people want to express themselves, then I have absolutely nothing against them. Let's not forget that we are on a forum for the discussion of a brand of collectible action-figures. Granted, they are undoubtedly the most imaginative ever made, and have an incredibly deep storyline, and I LOVE them, but a lot of people won't see it that way. To them, we may look just as sad as the "bronies" do to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektris Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The only thing that I find wrong with this is that some of the "bronies" are taking it too far. If you begin insinuating that people are "wrong" for not liking MLP or not being interested, then you've just become the exact thing you're fighting against. And I've seen a little bit of that here on BZP. I'm down with you liking what you want, but there's no need to shove it in the faces of others who just aren't interested (and some of the really obnoxious signatures and whatnot are shoving it in our faces...). That said, yes, the most vocal of those that are anti-"bronie" are also going way too far. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Bambi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 From what I've seen these 'Bronies' don't actually watch the show much. My opinion about them I can't say here, because it'd no doubt turn into a flame war. Hopefully this fad dies out soon, though.Everyone I know watches it a lot.

-Blank- Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I do go extreme and over the top because I dont censore myself and I express my opinions in full force. Go ahead and report me. If I'm banned then at least I go down speaking my mind. There is a lack of anti Brony voice here so that's why I speak out.

Deep-Freeze Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Another brony debate, I see. Been there. Done that. Multiple times. Nothing new here. People will argue about anything, I guess. On topic, I do miss a lot of the in-jokes of old, but I suppose more will crop up as the forum gears start turning again. BZP has only been back online for a few days so we can't expect forum-wide jokes to show up for a while. New, BZP material, anyways. Reddit's years-old recycled garbage doesn't count.
