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....Point taken. I never got around to that whole Mic and YAC thing. What was that about anyways?
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.
About the dragging thing, idk, it's a personal thing, I should have never said that. But the fact we got a VA who's as highly aware of what goes on in the brony community as much as we do...I can't help but feel a little blamed...Ugh, I'm gonna look away from ponies for a bit...again. It's not that I'm saying "let them speak", but I feel guilty we brought someone that far.
@Shidoshi Well, I joined the herd post season 1(Well, right around the time when "The Best Night Ever" aired) so thanks for bringing that up. I never knew that, however, I was highly aware of the show's existence before that because of my cousins. (Like I didn't mention them before /sarcasm.)
