Description
This is the first version:Many people talked about the text being too small and I thought it was pretty crowded and scattered (though I still think it was a good first attempt). So to make a better poster, I condensed the crap out of it, both in text and in images to make essentially the same points but with less space, more pictures, and fewer words. I also uploaded a MUCH larger version so you guys can print your own though I DO have it available as prints over at Redbubble:
Buy it here if you like it
POSTER @ REDBUBBLE: [link]
Anyway, I think it turned out really well so what do you think?
EDIT: Cheeseheads are Green Bay Packers fans (football) and the Blue Army are fans of Aerosmith
EDIT2: A lot of people today have commented that they can't believe that anyone would consider KH girly, but it's been more than a decade since it came out so many people forgot or were too young to remember. It's a "Disney Princess" game that uses the word "heart" a lot and has touchy feely "I LOVE YOU MAN" bromance between the main characters. Obviously it's awesome, but I've seen guys who couldn't get past that and wouldn't play the game.

Definitely. There are annoying fans in every fandom to be sure.

Haha...yea ^^'
That's really the only reason I keep my distance now. I commented on this one picture of a shipping picture. Saying I didn't really like mlp shipping, but that it was great art. And got figgin like 20 hate messages...-.-

What about people who always say, "you're a brony you don't have an opinion lol" that always freaking annoys me... >.>

Who could possibly have a more relevant opinion on bronies than bronies? Who knows more about the culture and subject? Basically no one.

Great thing to do nimaru but is it all worth it? With this age of fucking stupidity discrimination and racism, this won't work at all. In these days, the main thing that people want to achieve is to be cool and popular and by cool and popular i mean be like those bastards who try to make you look like a looser (they guys who discriminate you), go in bars and get their fucking ass drunk and fuck a random girl and get her pregnant. Is that cool? No it isn't, that very low. But what can i say, people are stupid these days and don't give a fuck about the important things in life: have adventure, be educated and live your dream of your life (work what you wanna do, not what you are forced to do and achieve many things).
Also, important thing, we fight for brony, transformers (autobots & decepticons), bionicle, armada, star wars, manga, anim, etc., right but we don't get them. How is possible to get them, if the black colored people are discriminated for a working tool and still don't have all right. This also goes for the women. These 2 races as what people call em, don't have right like the rest normal people (by normal i mean the white people with black, brown and blonde colors for their eyes and hair and have male though voice). This isn't fucking Yugoslavia anymore, where people were the same, they were brothers and even if there was anyone with black or yellow skin color, he was still called a brother, but hey smart people like Tito don't live forever, they come and go and stupid screw the whole nation, even the world.
So yeah, world isn't what it used to be, we are now enemies to each other, money corrupts our minds so we may kill a person who was close as a brother to us for a bunch of worthless tool that is made of paper. And the scientists? Hope one comes to be the ruler of the world because they know how much black our future is if we don't do anything about it.

Step one: speak out. Some people are only loud until they're challenged. Some are even willing to see a different point of view... if you take the time to share it.
I should know because at one time, I WAS someone like that. Not racist or sexist or anything, but rude and judgmental of things I didn't understand. But I always listened to other people's points of view.

That's the problem these days... money crisis makes us think only what's the best for us, even if it means sacrificing a friend. All the protests in the world, we should unite against the world leaders and show that the nation isn't a nation without people, it's not important who is on the top and who has the most powerful weapons, the important thing is us.
And man, was i pissed off... wow.
Should i write a book about this?

I myself would wish the porn would go away, only because I'm disgusted by porn in general, but I digress.
This gets right to the point. Awesome man!

The crap anime & manga fans go through all the time with ignorant people. Among THE most annoying assumption we go through is that anything that so much has anime-quse designs to it is automatically porn.
π: 0 β©: 2
That b/c misunderstood between ecchi and hentai. If there were less fanservice then we wouldn't have this problem. Also I disagree withΒ anime & manga fans go through all the time. That usually doesn't happen a lot. WhatΒ otakus deal with everyday are theirΒ ignorant fanboys. You know what I mean. Also with overhype shows.
π: 0 β©: 1
Dammit. It misunderstanding. Wish there was a edit button. Oh I forget what anime & manga fans go through all the time are Dub vs Sub war. That one of biggest problem with community. Also with anime piracy and illegal streaming and the problems with definition of anime.Β

Yes indeed. There are a lot of parallels between anime fans and bronies. Ignorance never changes I suppose.

As Carth Onasi of "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" puts it, "I guess ignorance and stupidity never go out of style."

The closest thing to pony porn which I like is probably Twi's sexy eyes or simply ponies in socks, but nothing further than that. Anyway, that's CLOPPERS not BRONIES anyway...
OUR SITES (example)

Not that I have anything against it but it's bucking weird.

I am indeed a member of that site. So far, I'm going by the name of Hazama.

It's much more of a blur for otakus.
For SFW sites that we go to:
safebooru.org
zerochan.net
This one
The NSFW sites...
pixiv.net(Japan's equivalent of this site, but allows full-on eroge artwork to be uploaded)
danbooru.donmai.us (Streams pixiv artwork directly to the U.S.)
konachan.com (Says R-18 on the front page)
Despite this, the blur I mentioned applies more to fans such as myself.

Awesome! Now I can use this as a rational reason instead of saying that such people are judgemental pricks that should die in a fire. Thanks!

Exactly. Even better, just point people here. It's harder to argue with posters than in person.

I miss Mr. Angry Dude, rest in peace you most civil of haters.
Tis a shame that Faustian quote apparently had to go as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sadly yes. I did make the claim that the show was made for adults and keep the quote in my pocket for when and if someone challenges me on the claim.
π: 0 β©: 1
Some people may still need that quote somewhere visible so to speak. Was this not the whole point of this poster?
Still it serves it's function pretty good as is. Good job, as always.

I'm surprised you didn't talk about people saying that bronies are gay. They say that as if it was an insult. Some bronies (both male and female) are gay, some straight, some bisexual. Being feminine and/or liking "girl stuff" (as if shows are gender-divided) does not make you gay and even if you were, what's the problem with that?
π: 0 β©: 1
You're right about that. I can't remember the reason I didn't cover that specifically, probably just due to lack of room, but that is the sense I was going for with the "Must be murdered part". The reason people get so bent out of shape is because of homophobia for the most part.

There are problems in liking it if you're a girl as well... At least here where I live... If people know you like it, you face the risk of being called a child, immature and even retarded... You can't even like Disney or cartoon things without this risk. It is really annoying and creates such a pressure that makes most people enjoy it in silence to avoid being called such things. I actually took a long time until telling my best friend that I liked MLP. She was surprised by it and said that she couldn't imagine someone like me liking a "silly pony show" until I talked her into watching it (now she loves it). The point is, with all that pressure of "like this, be like that or else you'll be made fun of" can make people insecure. I don't know if in other countries people are used to see adults with shirts or hats of MLP, but here if you do that, people will all stare at you and some will really make fun of you.

Yeah, i made the mistake on time of searching rainbow dash on google images on a school computer and a guy noticed it, called his freind over and made fun of it. At the time, I really wanted to have freinds at school (no one talks to me because i am "weird") so i lied and said I searched something randomly and this came up. I have to hide the fact that i like mlp cause people in my school are kinda jerks. (thats putting it nicely)
π: 0 β©: 1
I know how it is. I never had friends at school and even in college I don't have friends (I have some people I talk to, but not really close). Since I was always made fun of, even nowadays I'm afraid of opening myself too much (people think I'm weird as well).
It would be nice if we lived in a world where, if others don't like the same things you do, they would just respect that and leave you alone, but no. We live in a world where some people will always find a reason to make you feel miserable with no reason but "it is fun".
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, there will always be that one jerk who will be determend to make you miserable. Online it's easier to be yourself becuase if one person is being mean to you, you can just get off the website a while. Mean email? Delete! In real life it's harder, becuase you can't avoid school or your job or so for a while, and if someone says something to you or does something to you it can't be deleted and never looked at again.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I have more friends on the net than in real life (sadly, the only one of my country lives in another state, so sometimes I still feel quite lonely) and hey, you can find LOTS of people on net who happen to LIKE the same things you do. In real life sometimes you have to work/have class with a jerk who will treat you like garbage. I wish I was strong enough to say "hey, screw all that, I like MLP!" and post things about bronies on my fb for example (is not as if I even know someone who can or will be mean to me, but yeah, I'm afraid that it may happen, so go figure).

Number of friends on internet: Stopped counting at 100
Number of friends in real life: 5 of them that i still see.

Internet makes things like this easier. My best friend (the one that lives in another state) I met on net. We have been friends for YEARS. So, friendship on internet DO last.

Definitely true, but I come from the male perspective because I am one
But you're 100% correct. I'm aware that girls do have the problem as well
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm just glad that we have internet, where is far easier to meet other bronies.
In the end, you face the risk of being made fun wether you're a male or a female. A real pain if you ask me... If you like Harry Potter, oh, that's okay, if you like MLP, what the hell, are you a child, and yadda yadda...

Invader Zim porn? I would normally refuse to believe it, but unfortunately I know it exists, somewhere in the fiery and putrid bowels of the Internet.

what scares me most is the idea of zerg porn.

yep I can agree with this seeing as I love Transformers from the 80's and trying to get the toys from that era cause they made them to last. These days toy's don't last as long as they used too
