And yes, I agree...In THAT way, it shot itself in the foot. Unfortunately. It's just that the fact of the matter is that people DO need to know that &quot;cloppers&quot; and &quot;perverts&quot; (I'm not mixing the two because I don't think they're the same at all, obviously) are a very small faction of the overall fandom and you need not judge somebody by those aspects of the fandom alone. I would think that, back when this &quot;doc&quot; was first started, and even now, a lot of people judged a self-proclaimed &quot;brony&quot; as a perverted loser. And indeed, people have judged me that way, completely unfairly. Many people have, even those I've done thousands of dollars in business with. I have had to clarify myself endlessly. This video offers a means to show those who would doubt you exactly why they should stfu."}
