lol so tumblr right now
a bunch of fans of a kid’s show freaking out over fans of a kid’s show liking their show
because they’re all gross for liking a kid’s show
-eats popcorn-
no
the problem is how mlp was treated with those said fans and we are fearful that the community will become mucky and extremely toxic for anyone in it
we dont want su to be treated with that same mind set because it has so much representation, good vibes, and important concepts thrown all into one fantastic show
they can enjoy it but dont turn it into the mess that mlp was
but you don’t own the show though
nor do you have any say who’s allowed to be a fan or how they show their fanaticism.
just let people enjoy it however they want to enjoy it, jeeze.
For a show with ‘good vibes’ people sure are being ridiculously hostile over this.
If that’s what the SU fandom is really like? Inseccure and screeching about ‘icky bronies’???
Then I’m sorry but that sounds like an already corrupted fandom that I’d rather not want anything to do with.
So far, this situation has proven the SU fandom to be incredibly immature and over-reactive.
If you don’t see that as ‘toxic’, being closed off and paranoid about people for being a fan of a different show and generalizing them as a whole based on one shitty website that even they tend to disagree with and hate, then I don’t know what to say.
It’s really sad because there was an episode where the blogger and the poser were younger and the blogger was like “why do you care so much about what people think about you?” and the poser was like “You would to if you knew what people thought about you” and the blogger DID know but still did his own thing and ended up being pretty cool but the poser was still a pathetic poser.
Basically, the SU fandom cares way too much about how people will see them to actually enjoy the show and need to grow up.
