Bronies as a community aren't really united in many ways other that all of us liking the show. We've had flame war after flame war, which is half the reason I stay off of Ponychan and /mlp/. We have infighting all the time. Mic's whole thing with Y@C comes to mind, as does the whole 'Should human Twilight be portrayed as black' thing. Bronies can just as bad as the rest of the internet we all came from, they just hide it better. I also don't really think R63 and Humanizer's are a problem; they're different sure, but rarely a problem. R34 is something every fandom has, they just really try to hide it. And I don't wan't to 'put a stop' to anything. Limiting creative expression doesn't help anyone.
We may stand united, but with such infighting, it's gonna tear the basis of this fandom to utter Flame War, and boom, the fandom is gone. The Rule 34's, 63's, Humanizers (like me.), Transgenders, etc, etc, they love the shows as much as we do, but how they express it...is just completely unorthodox.
Seriously though, this has got to stop. Or else we're gonna end up dragging another innocent VA down with us. Could be Liberman, Lancie, Fraust, Bell, Oliver...Who knows.[/COLOR]
I don't think we've really dragged Tara down anywhere. She makes a valid point; John Jesco, Braeburned, Slugbox, and their fans probably should not be the people we have talking to the mainstream media (again, Stern barely qualifies).
I've seen tons of people leave the fandom due to infighting, and I'm not a fan of it. Bronies can go on about L&T all they want, but seriously, we aren't all that great at is on a whole. We just end up making ourselves look bad. If you don't like something, just say 'it's not for me' and move on.
