  1. Sorry for the rant, but... why does the simple act of enjoying a children's television show offend some people so deeply? I have friends that not only oppose me and my local brony friends, not only try to block us out of their Facebook news feeds and stop us from talking about the show around them, but actively try to "fix" us, both in private and in public, in ways both subtle and overt. It's really starting to get to me, and the fact that it's all over my enjoyment of a television show really just astounds me. I know this is nothing special or foreign to all of you, but still. Just... ugh.

    2. @thaius There are a lot of people who have a hard time accepting things which don't fit into their image of normal. Just look around at the countries, organisations and people who are still trying to "fix" gay people, for example. Humans may be technologically advanced, but mentally some of us still seem to be living in the stone age.

      2. @omni Yeah, I know... I just wish that knowledge actually made it easier to deal with. Having people who used to be good friends turn on you for such stupid reasons isn't fun.

    3. @thaius People like to waste their time on things that don't matter because dealing with real problems is too hard.
