Black people

[Gordon Freeman]

I understood that, what I didn't understand is what this had to do with anything.

[Darvince]

You are obsessed with bronies and antibronies opposing each other in a pointless battle of internet wills and who can be a bigger asshole.

[Gordon Freeman]

Yes but I didn't mention any such thing in this thread.

Speaking of which Rabid Broniism/Ant-Broniism is quite similar to discriminatory racism as there have been several cases of physical harassment/assault realting to My Little Pony.

I think such people are far worse and much more dangerous to society than e.g. any brony/anti-brony could ever dream of.

Uh... wat

Yes but I didn't mention any such thing in this thread.

I consider people's right to be black, gay, woman, or whatever, a lot more central than people's right not to risk stumbling upon images of ponies when you search for something on Google or argument videos over MLP. I have nothing against bronies, but I think racism is a bigger problem than some movie show, and I just didn't understand how you could make videos about arguments over the show and comments on anti-bronies, and then ask a black person why he cares about racist comments.

The fact that you didn't write it in this thread isn't really relevant, as I suppose your views don't depend on which thread you post in and it was just meant to illustrate that if you can care about anti-bronies it shouldn't be hard to understand the situation with worse things.

[Gordon Freeman]

But you brought them into the thread in a way that looks like I stated that racism and anti-broniism are at the same level

I don't see how I did that. I just pointed out that you exactly seem to be very occupied with anti-bronies, but didn't see why others saw racism as a problem. Something that could be the result if you think racism is less of a problem than anti-bronies, and I intended to point out that I think the exact opposite is the case and that if you can be bothered with anti-bronies, it should be easy to see why racists bother people too.

[Gordon Freeman]

I know it's the opposite, it's just that racism on the internet is meaningless while racism IRL is a problem.

[Bla]

I just find that stance hypocritical if you at the same time comment on anti-bronies.

And I don't agree racism on the internet is meaningless, because people on the internet live in the real world and if their opinions spread on the internet or become acceptable, there'll be more racists irl to cause problems irl or they'll meet less opposition.

I knew you'd say that :-P

The difference is that racists IRL actively discriminate and devalue the lives of people, while anti-bronies have done as much as deface pony murals and whatnot.

Aren't most webracists 8-12 year old children who know jack shit about what they're talking about?

True. Hey, should I animate this discussion? It seems worthy of public notice

That doesn't make it any less hypocritical. As I was trying to say racism, issues about people having a problem with other people's biological features they walk around with everywhere and can't change, is a bigger problem than a cartoon show... It should be rather obvious for reasons I've already stated in my first reply, is it really necessary to dwell in it further?

Sorry but asking me if most online racists are 8-12 years old isn't a valid argument that racism on the internet is meaningless. I'd suggest searching to see it's the case, I doubt it is, but at least I can agree with the second half of your sentence.

True. Hey, should I animate this discussion? It seems worthy of public notice

I don't think it's necessary

Eh thanks I guess kol :b

[Darvince]

You, too, can achieve "mental perfection", if you simply take this piece of advice! Think Before You Post^TM

My post got deleted, I'm assuming for being too mean, but I just have to say that this is a really ignorant post. Comparing anti-brony-ism to racism is like comparing one guy getting shot to a genocide.

no

Explain

[Jorster]

You're kidding, right? You're comparing the fact that maybe 2 people have gotten seriously injured for liking My Little Pony to decades of enslavement, and being denied the right to vote and shit? Bronies are not an opressed minority, just like fat people are not opressed, just like special snowflake poly-trans-rabbit or whatever the fuck are not opressed.

[Gordon Freeman]

I know that, but it's the same root concept. People are being devalued because of one little thing that doesn't matter.

[Jorster]

what. Please explain to me how people are getting devalued in droves just because they like a show. Please explain to me how people are being treated as lesser human beings because they like a goddamn show.

[Gordon Freeman]

Bronies are usually seen as homosexual pedophiles, which, in society, are treated as lesser human beings.

[Jorster]

what

It is a very small minority that thinks that. Comparing anti-brony-ism to racism is legitimately insulting for anyone who has ever been seriously discriminated based on race or ethnicity.
