Reaching Out.
« on: April 17, 2012, 08:07:23 PM »

By relicoven

Greeting from a completely different sphere of life!  I am here on a simple mission, and that is to assess the right wing's true opinion of MLP and its fanbase.  I'm curious because it was called to my attention that last year we were blasted on Fox News.  So now I ask you, how do you feel about it, and is there anything you'd like to know?

Right out of the gate I see.  I have a question for you, how is being a fan of a cartoon different from say, a football fan?  Or say, I dunno, someone who really likes 24?

I'm sure you had a real point to make...

I'm also sorry I missed it.

Maybe if you used actual words and sentences we could help you out.

On edit: what the heck is the MLP?

I would life to refer you to the short sentence in the last post, It pretty much sums up my questions.  To expand, I am surprised at the hate coming out of this side of the political equation and would simply like to know why?

By and large there is a trend of shaming those who are fans of the show.  There are a lot of fans, but there are also a ton of people who seem to take umbrage with the show's popularity. More often than not mentioning your interested in the show draws looks of either incredulity, or laughter followed swiftly by questions about the one's sexuality.  This expands to the digital space as well, there are plenty of people I've talked to who have been harnessed for simply liking a cartoon.  The second thing I came here to explore is if Fox News, a predominately conservative news organization's, slander had any effect on the right wings consensus on the issue.

On the first part of this question, I still don't get it please help me out.

On the second part of this statement... yeah I hate..but it is in return.

Your side (although it may not br you) has plenty of hate to go around.

I've seen every episode from Nightmare Moon to Discord to the present.

I don't consider myself a Brony, but I have friends who are. They are conservative and watch the show with their kids. I babysit sometimes and the kids got me watching.

I still BS'd you for coming across antagonistic when you never needed to. No one here works for FOX. Nor do all conservative share the same tastes/likes and such. You sound like you are trolling.

The show itself is refreshing in that the writing includes the parents as well as the kids. The wholesomeness of the show is not marred by a liberal message. Silly environmental issues are never inserted into it. The theme is pure Americana and the messages are never politically correct. I really cannot see how you align the show with liberalism.

Start over with love and tolerance.

I'm a but upset by that, they are a vocal minority.  I realize now I was being unclear on the first part.  Really though you have answered my question anyways.  Thanks for taking the time to talk this out a bit, i appreciate it.

Harnessed for liking a cartoon.   :rofl:  Sounds kinky

Slander seldom affects the right.  We tend to search out the facts in most cases.  You're barking up the wrong tree, Relic.

Hi5 to BEG for posting my favorite pony, Rarity. She is a CAPITALIST pony. She has her own boutique, designs clothing, and works through the night to make the deadline on commissions.
Rarity is an independent business pony and supports herself. No one ever gave her a handout.

Most of the time we see her, she is WORKING.

I'm sorry if I came across as antagonistic.  I didn't mean to accuse anyone i just wanted to see if it swayed anyone. I don't assume Fox is the be all end all, i just chose it as an example because of its large viewer base.
