dittybopper: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

NO IT ISN'T!

antidisestablishmentarianism: totally left out Derpy Hooves.

Wait. Stop the truck. Important Question:

Is there -actually- a character called "Derpy Hooves"?

Until this moment, I had no interest in the show, but I do admit that the various .jpgs can be funny. I had assumed that they, along with "Derpy Hooves" were snark-fueled creations of Fark/the webbernets, extrapolating from the show.

If there is -actually- a "Derpy Hooves," I may have to sit down and try to watch a few episodes.

And if the various .jpgs are also representative of the actual show, I am clearly missing out on something.

What the hell is it with people worrying about what someone else is doing? I could give a rat's ass what you watch, what you read, who you sleep with or who you marry. Honestly people. Getting worked up because SOMEONE ELSE is doing something you don't approve of.

Yeah yeah, welcome to Fark/the US.

Breitbart dies and yet his festering zombie anus continues to pucker and shower us with fecal nuggets of maggot-ridden derp, lovingly dropped directly into the mouths of a waiting Drew and his Modmins to passionately chew up and try to spit into our mouths like some Whiskey soaked, welfare decrying, food stamp collecting, trailer slut-Hillbilly Mama bird trying to feed her baby tax right-offs.

Holy crap, these guys are scared of EVERYTHING.


On second thought, it isn't too surprising. If something promotes being tolerant, or just acting like a decent human being, then naturally these guys would be against it.

Well, the origin story is in one of the early episodes of season 1 the animators messed up the eyes of one of the extras in the scene but didn't fix it because her face wouldn't be noticeable behind another character. Well, they changed the blocking of the extras and forgot to fix the eyes so the internet latched onto this wonky looking pony and dubber her Derpy. After the popularity she had gotten a few sight gags but was never addressed by name or had lines. Then this season not only is she referred to specifically as Derpy by one of the lead characters but she finally talks too.

I think having her say lines ruined it a little but I still think it's hilarious that they ran with the joke.

"All the while, as these pathetic sissies giggle like school girls over magic unicorns that spray rainbows from their horns, real men - and women - who have put aside the temptation to retreat into a frivolous fantasy world are tromping through the wilds of Afghanistan."

from the TFA....

I am not a Bronie, i am just bronie tolerant. One of my best friends is a Bronie, and he's in afghanistan right now fighting for my god damned freedom. He can believe in friendship, and sparkles and magic and whatever else it takes for him to keep hope in that godless hellhole. I couldn't read past that point, it's just frivilous hatespewing to do nothing but spread this hateful message that "OMG SOMEONE IS DIFFERENT, WE SHOULD HATE IT."

There are Bronies, and probably guys with far weirder interests in our service right now. We should show them enough god damned respect to not give a fark what they care about. Nor should we diminish the heroism of their work by trying to compare it to a fanclub over a children's cartoon.

Stay Strong Tony, you will be coming home soon man. We believe in you.

You mean that people who are outside the intended audience for a well-made, well-written, well-acted, and well-though-out show can be fans of said show? Well, color me shocked.

The hate, the rage, the utter contempt this guy has over people who enjoy a cartoon... god damn, that is some special kind of self-righteous assholery. Not to mention his belief that Bronies do nothing BUT idolize MLP (though that idiotic tactic is used for everything), and his utterly retarded "Compare these men to the ones killing and being killed in WAR!! (that is completely pointless and unnecessary on our side, not saying anything against the troops themselves)" buffoonery.

The entire "You can't be a MAN unless you do the stereotypical MANLY things!" mindset needs to die, and soon.

Yeah, the second season was where fans got to play "Where's Waldo?" with Derpy.

And, there was the scene you mention that now survives only on the internet and the one DVD release the show has had.

lol, the thesis statement of the article:

If these losers want to waste their lives lingering in a childhood fugue state, Hollywood has every right to serve them up more of the same cultural slop and pocket the cash proceeds. But it shouldn't.

So Hollywood's choice is an unexpected windfall of happy customers vs. this guy's tacit approval? LOL.

That read like an Onion article. I really couldn't tell whether it was serious or not. Even the writer's picture looks like it was clipped from some 1950s newspaper. Only thing missing is some Freudian slips about his latent homosexuality. Though, his obsession with being manly tells me he spends most of his time googling for "XXX hairy bears bdsm" at work.

Jake Havechek: With all due respect to fine upstanding homosexuals the world over, MLP is farking gay.

My program ended and my DVR dropped back onto TV so I ended up catching most of the last 30 or so minutes of the show this past weekend (season finale, I think I read). I had been mildly curious about it, since I really enjoyed the PPG and had read in a number of Fark threads that it has similar appeal.

It's not nearly on the same level IMHO, but it wasn't completely insipid, either. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but I'd leave it on in the background while I'm online. Easy to follow, clean, good voice acting.

I think what ruined it was giving her a voice that sounded like a child with Down's Syndrome then blaming the internet for the fallout.

As someone who is a political conservative and a Brony, that article is a freaking joke. Once again BigHollywood proves that it is the embarrassing sibling of the Breitbart family. They apparently couldn't even be bothered to use a correct picture. I wonder how they'd react to the story of the Brony Marine who's life was saved by the My Little Pony figure in his pocket that deflected some shrapnel. It'd probably make their heads explode.
 
2012-04-26 01:21:48 PM
At least the comments section of that article is mostly positive and calling the writer out on his idiocy.

CygnusDarius: ... What the fark did I just read?.

An article by a "man" so insecure of his own self-image that he's apparently "terrified" and "horrified" by the fact that other men get a laugh out of a kid's show.

The only "pussy" I see is the author. "The perceived value of your self-image compromises the perceived value of my self-image, so I must protest against increasing the perceived value of your self-image by belittling it, thus reinforcing my self-image's perceived value."

Lighten up, Francis.

BigJournalism and BigGovernment have had some good articles and have done some newsbreaking investigative reports, BigHollywood is a complete waste of space. It is a prime example of why hardcore social cons just piss me off. Of course I haven't regularly visited the site since it's most recent relaunch because it's just become a graphic laden mess, so maybe they've farked the whole site by now.

I've never understood using homosexuality as a slur here. Fark is one of the most gay-friendly sites outside the GLBTOMGWTFBBQ community I've ever seen. Do you honestly think anyone here is insulted by your comments? Outside of being offended that you're such a douchebag, that is.

You think gender was the problem? The first voice sounds "retarded" to me in the most stereotypical sense, especially when combined with her behavior. The voice actor's opinion is irrelevant. The internet's transient definition of "Derpy" is irrelevent; it was a term of endearment from the fans in this context. The voice director, episode director or producers should have put the kibosh on the voice choice from the start. If they gave the character a normal voice, Derpy would have been a hit and she could have kept the name and the googly eyes.
 
2012-04-26 01:33:18 PM
Only cartoons a real conservative would watch:

He-Man, because, clearly, the title is about He-Men.

The Evel Knievel animated series, because he was the living embodiment of the American Flag.

Rambo: The Force of Freedom (duh!)

and, errr, the Hillbilly Bears, because that encompasses the remnants of who remains in the republican party?
