Explain Like a Sir (see description)

I find almost everything on FJ funny, and I enjoy ponies, but even before did, I never understood all the hate, so could someone explain?

See, it goes like this: we aren't forced to sit through rape, murder, ... or the holocaust on nearly every post. However, you fabulous fillies tend to shove this shit that we don't like down our throats (which is somewhat ironic when you consider that your motto is something along the lines of "love and tolerance").

I can't explain it, but i find it shocking and disgusting.
Kind of like a pile of shit on your bed.

Okay I can explain some of the reasons I do not like the show and get annoyed at the volume of content on this site but I myself don't think that is enough to use the word hate.

So onto the reasons why when I tried the three random episodes of season one back in the day I found I disliked the show.

1) The over the top femininty of the show as a whole. It's just waaaay too feminine, not the same style of feminine of the older versions obviously as times have changed, but still feminine.

2) I did not see humour or character growth. It could be down to the fact I saw 3 random episodes but there was nothing different about any of the characters from the first time I saw them to the last time I saw them.

3) The episode plots were weak for me and there was no real mention of a series plot holding any of the episodes together in even the slightest fashion as far as I could see.

4) A little to no male character list for me to connect with. Also I am putting the characters themselves being all girl archetypes/stereotypes into here as well as tbh that really threw me off. It felt like it was a "Oh hello female number (insert number here)" situation.

5) The guddamn singing! D: XD

On to why I am annoyed with the volume of pony posts on this site.
It's because the majority to about 85-90% of the posts require one to have intimate knowledge of the show to even get the joke or even appreciate the post and that particular kind of content belongs on a brony site, not here. Other kinds of pony content that others can find funny are welcome to be posted in my eyes. I haven't seen a post that has mad me crack a smile or anything from them, even their "feel" posts are ineffective at raising and sort of reaction from me. :P

And there we go I hope that helped you out. Any more questions then please contact me and if I give you any answers that others find helpful then pass them along.

I see your point sir :) But i can say something more.... 1.I am watching MLP for about month...I was quite sad person but since i am watching the show I am smiling so often :D again and again sweet smiles :D And too ponies made me correct my grades :) they made my stop my addiction to PC games :) And showed values of life to me and I am grateful for that :D At first when i was trying to watch the show i have beat first 2 episodes easily...but then on 3 ep. I heard rainbow dash talking about wonderbolts and stuff she desire...Suddenly I realized that i have no desire! I was really ashamed of yourself and pissed off that how dare they judge me...I was trying to beat 3 episode 4 times till i dealt with it... I was trying because pony memes and community was just great! So then i joined flamewars vs haters :) .... Fun times,back that time it was not so hardcore...Some time later i calmed down and enjoyed brony stuff and forgotten about flamewars...I would post some MLP content but i can not log in and i can not find the way to fix it...About the annoying fabulous fillies...yeah i saw these guys on internet and you can believe us that we are ashamed for them...maybe they will calm down too.But yes,some people have problem,and they are trying to fix it from the cover of fabulous fillies...I really hate when someone post comment that he do not like MLP and then he gets red toenail clippings...but you know i used to do this even without reading its like defense system against insults by haters...but if he do not curse MLP and just refers his opinion...then there is no problem!MLP brought me where I never thought I would end...reading the stories,fanfics...maybe later book too :D I like you haters because you making us stronger...so you better deal with it because you are going to e loved and tolerated...

Please don't refer to me as a hater as I am not a hater.
I used to be one in like october last year and a month or two after it but I am not any more.
I simply do not like the show and find the annoying/ obnoxious/ asshole fabulous fillies in the brony community annoying.

Also personally the "love and tolerate" shtick is really old and now more annoying than intended so please if you have to say something along those lines please just say tolerated okay? Drop the love part. I have never felt that so I hate that word.

Also I am a sad person, all the time, I can't remember the last time I was happy or had a happy thought and MLP does nothing for me at all. It's not a fix for everyone but it was for you. It's good that it was for you but it doesn't change my opinion of what I saw based on another person's experiences.

Also this line;
" I was really ashamed of yourself and pissed off that how dare they judge me..."
Was that meant to read as;
" I was really ashamed at myself and pissed off, how dare they judge me..."

If not then why are you ashamed of me for not finding anything that has so far been posted by the brony community here good?
Just confusing is all.

Yep a bit confusing person :) ... Thanks that you gave a look on my comment...As I see you gonna find your way by yourself so good luck!
PS:I did not referred you as hater,in fact your comment was very polite...not as haters :)
User avatar #13 to #12 - maddyness (02/07/2012) [-]
You are extremely confusing.
I would ask that you find an English speaking person to check your comments as right now they make little sense. XD

I have no idea to what "way" you are referring to, I have my way and I am not looking for another, if it's in regards to this show. The show needs to change a lot for me to even consider retrying it.

Well you said "you haters" when replying to me so it was a spelling error and a misunderstanding.

the loads of pony content is way too much on this site, i say this as a brony, you are right on the points, you can call me gay but i sure know i am not.
User avatar #8 to #5 - maddyness (02/06/2012) [-]
Indeed there are way too many posts of that variety to determine which are those for fans only and which are attempts to be funny for everyone.

Why would I say that you're gay from knowing nothing about you?
The show itself is overly feminine, sure, but that;s not grounds to call you gay.
If the show was gay porn and I saw you with a cock up tour arse then I would be able to. XD
User avatar #7 to #5 - herecomesjohnny (02/06/2012) [-]
maybe you don't know you're gay? Freud explicitly associates the equus, the horse, to male phallic representations, that is how modern psychology explains prepubescent girls' fascination with horses. Attraction to horses may very well be a derivative also for homosexuality. But then again, don't feel offended, in Freud's eyes if you weren't gay you wanted to bang your mother, so..........

Ponies are OK. fabulous fillies are not. Because rape, incest, poop, porn, holocaust, racism etc. PLUS ponies Are the most vile thing ever.
