Lara White Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I don't see ponies only in CoT, but yes. BZPower tends to be better in containing the actual discussion of ponies to blogs and CoT than other forums.It's just that ponies seem to have exploded over the period of time when I've been on those other forums, which has thus engendered my dislike. Keep your stuff where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraHau Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 OK... Ponies aren't manly, and neither is pink. If man watches show with pink ponies and then shoves it in the faces of people who don't care about said show, man will get laughed off the face of the earth. Man will lose his man-card, and the respect of his peers, in all likelihood.Also, I have a rocket launcher, so any counter arguments are invalid.I want to know who it was who decided that pink equals feminine. If a guy wears a pink shirt does that make him feminine?Also, yes, some people do shove it down the throats of others but that doesn't mean they get laughed off "the face of the Earth" and turn into hermits just because they liked a show with pink ponies about friendship. Oh, and then he loses all his respect. Brilliant.Oh, and please do fire your supposed rocket launcher. Tell me how that denies my argument.disclaimer: I only skimmed this topic so I don't know if anyone else has responded to this astonishing piece of "logic", but if anyone has please forgive me.Like I said before, try an experiment: Go wear a pink shirt every day for the next 2 months, especially near your male friends. See what happens.And the rocket launcher thing... That was a joke (a meme, in fact) to lighten up the post a little - apparently it didn't work.

GAY AS HECK Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Like I said before, try an experiment: Go wear a pink shirt every day for the next 2 months, especially near your male friends. See what happens.Well that all depends on what kinds of friends you've got. If they're in any way decent human beings, then they shouldn't care in the slightest. If they're anything like you, then I suppose it's time to get new friends. Quote G A Y A S H E C K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Actually most dudes will think pink is a little girly.

Alyska Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think pink actually looks good on some blokes. And, as someone said before, up until World War II, blue was considered a feminine coulour, and pink was for boys (look at all the early Disney heroines- Alice, Belle, Cinderella, etc all wear blue).Hey, I don't mean to spam, but am I the only one who gets a "Free SteamCard" pop-up whenever I click anything on this forum's page?

Darcsyde Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 MLP isn't really a meme, I think. Maybe we've gotten into memes in BZP's abscense, but I guess it's more of "Oh, BZP's gone.

Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) I'm slightly extremely disturbed by the MLP presence. I don't hate it, but it does make me inexplicably sick that men watch this.I agree expect that I am VERY VERY extremely disturbed and I hate it. It's a show made for girls.

I want to be able to go to a few places on the web without seeing PONIESPONIESPONIESPONIES. All things in moderation, please.About the Clancy/BT crossover, I'm referring to certain other sites whose bronies seem to be hurting their cause simply because they can't keep their ponies to themselves sometimes. Most of the members, even the ones who are normally accepting of men liking things commonly seen as feminine, have really started to rage against the pony phenomenon because its members won't shut up about how awesome ponies are. It's reached the point where I don't care about the show anymore--it's the fandom I have a problem with.And to anyone who says you can't append forums to a blog...Uh... who said that?No one.
