@vcgriffin "via talks on My Little Pony fetishists" I don't think I even need to continue reading

@redenchilada that's how reading the guardian works I guess

@redenchilada But it gets so much worse! Within this community, having sex with a real person, in real life, is seen as a negative – and not “clopping” is a form of heresy.

@vcgriffin Oh my FrankerZing god they actually think /mlp/ is serious about anything?

@redenchilada And then they get into Dagorhir, insult the hell out of the participants for not being "manly," and then grip about how it's so sad that they are being so stereotypically manly? I can't even figure it out.

@scribus I didn't even read that part lmao. The article's just so misinformed on so many levels.
-
@redenchilada I skimmed it; it never got good. It only got more evident that they went in with preconceived notions and warped their data and interpretations to fit the results they wanted.
