What'd they say about ponies?

Obviously they needed to be loved and tolerated.

Or maybe they should just watch an episode.

Show them an awesome episode, if they'll relent to doing so.

Probably not "Lesson Zero", BTW. While bronies love the ep, it seems others don't.

Probably because Twilight Psykle is incredibly creepy.

Dragonshy and Sonic Rainboom are pretty good starter eps, I think.

But what did they say? I'm curious.

I can't really say you should be angry. After all, it's just a show about ponies - it's not like all of us haven't had arguments with our parents about things we like, I suppose.

Still, what did they say? Not trying to pry into personal business, but just out of curiosity. =/

Well..

This is how it started. I was talking to my mom about getting a MLP t-shirt. She said I can't because MLP is for girls and moms who see me will want to keep their kids away. Then she started ranting about how bronies want to (for BZP's sake) do bad things to kids and that they're tricking me. So I was like that's not true and told her about that guy at my church who likes MLP. So she was like yeah whatever it doesn't matter what other people like. Then I just walked out and my dad asked what were we arguing about. So I told him and he said "Look me in the eye" so I did. Then he asked why I would want that. So I told him because I like MLP. Then he started using the bible as a tool against me and told me that I'm letting to world control me. THEN he said I need to get interested in other things. So I was like "There's nothing else to get interested in" and he was like "there's LOTS of things"

Then pretty much said everything he already said and told me I need to start trying to get a job and a car. So I said if I do then I'll go to the stores and buy MLP things. And he was like "God says in his word blah blah blah when I became a man I put away childish things you're not a 9 year old girl do you like Barbie?!"

I don't remember everything, but that's pretty much how it went.

Blast Eurobeat Brony's remixes from your computer as loud as possible.

(I'm not sure how much good it would do actually.)

But yeah, sorry to hear about that, man. If only they knew how manly MLP is.

I have some counter arguments for that, but I'm not sure how much I can say here. Basically, I disagree with their reasons.

Instead, have some C.S. Lewis, because he's cool.

The way I see it, wouldn't an MLP T-shirt be covered with pink and glitter in the first place? I don't think they're sold for boys.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the show, though, except the widespread assumption that it's girly.

@LegoLover: Unofficial ones aren't.

It's just a black shirt with a Vinyl Scratch vector.

Seconded.

But I guess it could have been worse; you could have ended up like that one guy who got kicked out of his house when his parents found ponies on his computer.

What the... Dude. We aren't freakin child... "abusers"

And the Bible? We aren't all homosexuals(like I said in me blog.. READ IT)

I don't think it speaks against MLP anywhere in it.

They're peeved at a show about love and tolerance?

Well... I don't think you should let other people control your personal interests. But on the other hand, I've seen more pony hate in real life than on the internet; wearing a pony-related shirt could open you up to teasing.

Oh man, religious parents with hypocritical morals. What else is new.

@dotcom: +500 points to you, good sir.

Using the Bible to discourage people from watching a show that teaches young people - and reminds old folks - how to be good human beings is kind of lame. =/

I'd say try not to let this incident poison you against ponies or religion.

I'm glad to see that everyone here is being reasonable (at least for the time being), but be very wary of religious discussion, guys. I don't want to have to lock anything.
