@ponybis I know that feeling. I've been on the internet since I was 11. Began roleplaying at 12, first physical relations rp that same year...Still a minor for another year and a few months.
-
@ponybis I believe that is what is called 'innocence'. I've learned that it merely takes time to be corrupted, so just wait a couple years.
-
@doctorwhooffanatic @madflavors Thanks :D @ponybis It's listed on my vid :P Oh well
-
@ponybis Well, in this particular community, considering that there are some really young fans who really haven't had any exposure to anything remotely like that - and really *shouldn't* because they're frankly not mentally ready for it. But even for those who wouldn't be Scarred For Life or whatever, I still wouldn't recommend reading Cupcakes, just because it honestly doesn't have any redeeming qualities aside from being totally over-the-top disgusting. It's something that people make occasional references to, and you don't need to read it in order to get those references. It's really not remarkable writing.
-
@ponybis Sorry, don't know anything about GameFAQs, so I can't really extrapolate anything from that.
-
@ponybis Also: "stumbling" on it and actually *liking* it are totally separate things. In the ~15 years that I've been online I have seen a heck of a lot of disturbing things, but that doesn't mean I seek them out or even like them. Gore porn and the like still disgusts me.
-
@ponybis I wouldn't say grimdark, more so cynical. At least, that is my experience - when I got into the Internet initially, I was exposed to the more political and philosophical side of life. A little exposure is all it takes really to make a kid cynical; I couldn't tell you how I was prior to a certain part of the Internet I commoned, but I can certainly tell you that it made me cynical to a T.
-
@ponybis Silly, yes, because it basically comes down to "most people I associate with online are disturbed" versus "most people I associate with online are not". I don't want to draw hasty conclusions, but I would imagine that you tend to be introduced to one site via another you already visit, and if you start off with some place like 4chan then of course you'll wander off into some pretty dark corners.
-
@ponybis in regards to the comment I agree. anyone who use the internet will stumble across a little taste of everything that it has to offer.
-
@ponybis Those very sites are essentially the definition of "web 2.0". By using that specific term you're explicitly bringing those sites into the discussion, not excluding them.
-
@acceleratinguniverse I know this. The 4chan universe is full of disgusting people. I'm disagreeing with @ponybis's assertion that every "2.0" site is like that.
-
@ponybis yeah as soon as I saw that it was text, I hit the back button. I just don't read fanfics or anything. they just always suck.
-
@ponybis That's okay. I don't care anymore.

@ponybis If you would like the much better, but unpostable due to not meeting the "Rainiest day in ponyville" or Trixie requirements, story, here it is: http://nvrrmbr.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3fce0e
-
@ponybis Yep, yours is better. I can assure you that.
-
@ponybis You're the one who made the original statement, so the burden of proof is on you.
-
@ponybis Just being on the internet doesn't immediately make you a twisted deviant. That's something that has to be sought out.
-
@ponybis For the contest one: http://nvrrmbr.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3f3uwd
-
@ponybis What are you thinking of writing? :o
-
@ponybis Did you read mine? Did you hate it? I know you did. Even I hated my story.
-
@ponybis HOLY.
-
