Remember how we have said numerous times in the past that adding clothing to a pony can work sexually stimulating when put in the correct context, simply because ponies don't usually wear clothing. I think this comic hits the nail on the head with a f*cking Mjolnir.

@Dan (below me)

True, but the funny thing is that this is the common reaction with bronies. Add clothing and you suddenly have wingboners everywhere.

On the contrary, they're BOTH pretty saucy, if you ask me. Did you notice that most of the time, when an artist draws lingerie on a pony, they also tend to be in a suggestive position anyway? And besides, underwear reminds us of what's beneath the detail level, after all.

"Friendship is Magic loses to Penguins of Madagascar On Daytime Emmy Awards for Best Original Song."

SERIOUSLY?!?!

We lost to the FUCKING PENGUINS?!

I swear to every God available, if we get snubbed next year, I will go on some sort of rampage. They can't possible deny "Smile Smile Smile" or "This Day" an award.

>Award worthy songs.
>Not mentioning Rarity songs.

Anyone seen this?

Yeah, I remember that from a long time ago!
I love her reaction when they crash!
Same animator as this:

@Religion:

I think it's a bit more complicated than a few paragraphs can explain, at least while being accurate.

IRL, I'm agnostic in the sense that I don't care, because I believe in the part of Christianity that implies Jesus loves anybody that acts as he would. That's part of my family's influence, I guess. I also tend to find a lot of the Christians I know and have met over the years think the same way, and that they don't really mind if you're not Christian if you act kind.

But, then we have the internet, with its anonymity and ability to shout louder than RL. This leads not only to the atheists there being more open about their religious stance, but also leads them to be more vocal about it. That is, they're more likely to admit they're atheist, and they're more likely to talk about it. This is made more severe in that the very loud extreme minority of Christianity is somewhat easy to find on the internet, because they tend to be the ones that talk about it most often.

I tend to find the Christians that people say are retarded are extremely rare. By that, I mean I've never met one IRL. This can't be accurately represented on the internet, where religion is a bad thing to bring up. Many Christians realize that, and respectfully avoid sparking a debate, whereas the 'other' Christians jump on the opportunity, painting others in a bad light.

As for why atheists are more common on the internet, I think it's a mix of anonymity, the general attitude of the internet, a hive-mind, and some amount of disdain for the aforementioned 'other' Christians. The anonymity leads more people to be open about their religious standpoint, so you have more people openly admitting they are atheists. The general attitude of the internet has proven to be generally less conservative, more scientific, more logical, and less faithful to a religion. This is due in part to the hive-mind, where religion has grown as something to insult on many sites with less-than-average moral standards, such as 4chan.

The internet also has a lot of teenagers and college students, who tend to be the rebellious types that don't want to submit to authority. One massive authority in life is religion, so it seems simple for a younger person to rebel against it.

@Popper:

Really?

Celestia looks beautiful in humanized art (bring up Joseco and I will kick you in the head) and she isn't a soul-sucking succubus from a hive of monsters.

Just sayin'. Just Super Saiyan.

@Random:

I think we all know the cause, what with leaving stuff to the imagination.

I still find it odd how pics with ponies in clothing got downvoted. THEY'RE MAKING IT LESS SAUCY, YOU FOOLS!

Before I go to work, why do bronies (or many people within Web culture) dislike religion so much? One, the comparison of bronies from EqD who aren’t affiliated with a religion with those in the US population who aren’t affiliated with a religion. There is a huge difference with bronies having a majority (over 50% between Atheists and Agnostics) of those and Americans only having 7% of those not affiliated with a faith.

Two, anecdotally, I find people on the Internet to be much more strongly opposed to faith. I haven’t run across many Atheists IRL who speak so poorly of religion. They simply don’t believe religion offers what they need in terms of life meaning or philosophy.

For the first point, I think most of us agree that a lack of religion isn't a unique trait of the brony community, but can actually be explained by a lack of religion across the internet in general. I can think of a few reasons for this:

• Most people who use the internet for things like 4chan, reddit, memes or fandoms are of a fairly young age, and atheism is much more commonly found in teenagers or people in college than in older people. I think that's because religion had much more influence in Western culture while the older generations were growing up, and because atheism was despised even more than than it is currently. Recent cultural trends have diminished both of these factors, so today's youth is more likely to question their beliefs and deconvert.
• The internet does not consist entirely of Americans. While the US is still heavily influenced by Christianity, the UK and (to my knowledge) most of Western Europe has recently become very secular. As we Europeans also participate in internet culture, we increase the amount of atheism found throughout the internet. Apparently only around a third of people in the UK actually believe in a god.
• This one's a little controversial, but I can back it up with statistics, so bear with me here. People who spend a lot of time using the internet are more likely to be intelligent, and more intelligent people are less likely to be religious. This page shows a graph of IQ versus religiosity by country, and you'll see that the US is actually an anomaly in that it's both smart and religious.

The ideals of the brony community may also contribute to this somewhat. Bronies are mostly young adult males who watch a show intended for little girls, so we don't exactly fit in with mainstream society. We're all capable of rejecting an idea accepted by millions for the sake of our enjoyment, so maybe we have a higher tendency to reject other ideals in society, religion included.

For the second point, I refer you to the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory:

The internet seems to bring out the bad in a lot of people, and people who would normally be very reserved may suddenly become abusive once given anonymity. The internet allows people to reveal their true thoughts on such issues without consequence, while if you tried something like that IRL you'd look like a total dick. Some religious people can be very uptight, and are very easily offended by even the slightest suggestion that you disagree with their faith, so atheists are less likely to show their true colours in public. I know this because I do it myself. I'm nowhere near as tolerant as my friends think I am, but if I told them my true thoughts on some of their religious beliefs they'd probably stop talking to me.

@Verbose

You're right in that we overdid the TF2 chatter. I set up a chat sometime later, but even the whole "that was fun" ordeal was uncalled for. At the very least, add an image or something to your post. I don't want the thread to get locked.

And with regards to the religion thing, BSoD and Algernon nailed it. The internet in general is just against religion.

Though I wonder where you've seen this anti-religious sentiment from bronies. I'm a Christian myself, and I have never seen any brony speak against religion during my time in the fandom. Granted, I usually stay away from threads and sites where religious flamewars are bound to begin.

I think it’s obvious we overdid it a bit. If there’s not already some kind of steam group or something where we can coordinate those sorts of things more freely, someone should probably get on that.

We do.

I have no idea if it's still used or not though. It also has former members of the thread on it as well. I'm not a member myself because, as I've said, I prefer to keep my "broniness" hidden.

@Ponies with clothes

This has been said numerous times, but it's because the ponies are always naked. By adding clothes, it is adding the suggestion that they are hiding genitalia.

Now that I've added to thread, I'll go out of the way and say that I enjoyed our TF2 match thoroughly. It lagged quite a bit, but I was exceptionally happy that I could finally play something other than medic (btw, DeadParrot is an excellent one at that). It frustrates me to no end how much I've played that class solely because someone needs to and no one else will.

Also, the people not from the thread were quite enjoyable to play with as well.

That is all.

Pop quiz time!

Here's a hint: "none of the above" is not an answer.

I KNEW IT. I FOUND A CHARRED RARITY BLIND BAG AMONG THE ASHES OF THE LAST SPY I BURNED.

Muffins wrote:

Same here, to a degree.
I have never 'come out of the stable' as it were to anyone that I know in real life, though I haven't exactly been actively hiding it either.
I haven't ever felt a compulsion to bring it up myself, but my Steam avatar and spray are Scootaloos, my laptop's background in all pony all the time, and I am always on these sites.
I find it hard to believe that none of my friends of family has seen any of this, yet they have never said anything about it.
I'm not sure if this means that they're fine with it or if nobody gives a crap about what I do.
Then again, all my activity has been relatively subtle up to this point.
Let's see what happens when my plushies show up soon…

Anyone else have any fun real life stories of broniness?

@TF2
Thanks for the medic praise.
I've always been better at team support than actual fighting for whatever reason.
People really underestimate the value of a medic that knows what they're doing.

@Best pony

@DeadParrot: I am not worthy of your great Medic skills, master. Teach me your ways.

@Hiding that I'm a brony: Everyone that I know already knows that I'm a brony, and that's because I'm already a social outcast in my town. I also don't really care what people think about me.

@Humanized ponies: I quite enjoy humanization's. I've also noticed that not a lot of bronies like them. I don't really get why people don't like them. To each man his own.

Admit it, Pyro. You want this so badly.

@Nightmare:

He ain't the only one.

Pretty sure that and "Find a Pet" were the ones that lost.

What? That's ridiculous, I don't have any sort of wingboner right now:

Arg, I give. I lied.

@Nightmare
Meanwhile, at P-O-P-P-E-R-F-E-T-T control center:

Spock: I find the theory that Pyro would like that to be quite logical.

I'm going to get out of here before I start liking any of this…

This been posted yet.

…Kind of want to see one of those with Gabe and "Episode 3" now.

It's a damn shame that MLP lost. It would have been okay if the series it lost seemed a tad more credible, but I'm not sure why it did so to… Penguins… it's such a stale show…

Also, any speculations on Season 3? (Other than Baloney's teasing)

Religion, eh?

I'll preface this by saying I'm an agnostic, but believe that most religions are complete bunk. In other words, I'm open to the idea of the divine, but think most of the existing "theories" on the subject are bullshit.

If you ask me, religions are just convenient, ready-made world-view packages. That, in and of itself, is not a bad thing by any means. After all, the world (and by extension, the universe) is an incredibly complicated place and trying to understand the full complexity of its vastness is not something most minds are equipped for, so it helps to have something to fill out the gaps in understanding. Unfortunately, in our mad lust for knowledge, we've resorted to oversimplification and downright fabrication to fulfill our insatiable curiosity.

See, most religions started out small and simple. Some wise words and a few inspirational figures, that sort of thing. Then said figures passed on, and their followers spread the words they spoke. Unfortunately, few people have perfect memory, so all of those things are distorted as they pass form mouth to mouth. The problem is further compounded by the fact that in the past, documentation wasn't commonplace and what little there was could be lost so very easily, due to one thing or another. And so, this large-scale game of chinese whispers goes on until someone finally decides to gather a full compendium of the teachings. Unfortunately, the task is often far too great for the scope and span of a single man, so there is yet further distortion as there is a great deal of confusion and disagreement on the source material and its intentions. It doesn't help much that most are inclined to use such an opportunity to drive their own ambitions forward.

So when that holy tome is finally assembled, very little of the source material remains intact and is buried under massive amounts of fluff, which is often extremely self-contradictory and inconsistent. Of course, the authors never include any sort of list of reference (as that would require a tome of its own, and be an impossibility besides), instead opting for something like "these words are directly from (the) god(s)".

You'll notice I've worked from the standpoint that religions have no divine inspiration. Well, that's not entirely true, I've worked from the standpoint that the people who assembled the teachings had no divine inspiration. Perhaps the original prophets did, but they too were simple mortals in the end, despite what the myths surrounding them say, and had no hand in the final draft. And many along the long line had motives of their own, twisting the words to suit their needs, so there is nothing that can be trusted. And, of course, there is the problem of knowing which inspiration is "divine" and which is "mundane". Who's to say the prophet speaks with the voice of the lord? Who's to say the ones believing him are misguided? Who's to say the doubters are wrong?

And the troubled conception of a holy tome is not the only problem here. Once it has the book(s) as a focal point, the religion becomes a monolithic institution which seeks to preserve and, usually, spread the teachings at any cost. Unfortunately, we humans can't be trusted to perform such acts admirably. Those who guard the teachings will find it tempting to put their own spin on it, knowing their words carry much weight, and those who spread the teachings will find it tempting to offer the unbelievers two choices: join or die. And, of course, even the believers themselves cannot maintain only one interpretation of the teachings for long. Eventually, the differences grow too great and a schism occurs, shattering one institution into many, which are rarely amicable towards each other.

It may seem that I'm very opposed to religion. Well, that would mostly be true, but not because I dislike the idea of belief, I simply have a problem with many of the teachings and the institutions that perpetuate them. To put it another way, it's fine if you believe that some metaphysical being watches over you, but if you believe people of a certain type have no right to live, I hope you won't have a problem with the next sound you hear being the thump of your severed cranium hitting the floor. Yes, I realize that's highly hypocritical of me, but I've always been a fan of poetic justice.

There's also the fact that I believe religion no longer serves it's intended purpose, i.e. to explain the unexplainable. Or, at the very least, better alternatives now exist, with various ideologies and the scientific method gaining popularity. We only cling to our old beliefs because we are taught to do so by the monolithic temples and preachers that still hold sway in many matters they should never even have had influence over to begin with. And, as with any cornered beast, they do their damnedest to regain the upper hand, pressuring their followers to believe harder and shun all who reject their ideas.

So what's the relevance of this spiel of mine to the bronies' stance? Well, not much, really, since folks here pretty much said all there is to that. Just thought I'd provide my own musings on the subject, since I've done some thinking on it. And hell, I just spent a good couple of hours writing this, might as well post it.

Oh, and the various possibly-existing deities? This here song neatly encapsulates up my views on them.

Because she won JJ's "Which button should I make next" poll. Pity he isn't making too many.
Dammit, there goes my chances of getting one.

HEY KIDS, YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!

"Adventure Time?"

…Close, but no cigar.

It's time for the third installment of Takashi's pony parodies!

But this time we're doing it a little bit differently.

Hey look, another one popped up!

-5 bits = a long romantic kiss
-Chrysalis is there…
-MFW:

@Pyro:

Best evil?

@Connor:

I'd use the bits to buy a large rock and mug Blueblood with it. With the money I acquire from that, I will buy all of those booths and the company running them. I will then switch it over to hugs from kisses, and then wait for the profits to roll in…

I know this has probably been posted here, but I'm gonna do it again cause it's a damn good video.

Hey, I'm on the forums from now on. How about that.

Also, here's a thing.

Since it's animated by the same person who brought us "Two Best Sisters Play", there are several nods to Celestia and Luna throughout the video. And one Derpy cameo.

Did I mention I love this fandom? 'Cuz I love this fandom!

@Lasers

Because I totally know you meant to say "best pony". I knew you'd come around.

@bits for kisses deal

I'd most likely spend any and all bits that came into my possession this way instead.

@Bronies and religion.
I would provide my opinion, but sadly I find this a very touchy and personal subject. Let's just say that it holds very intimate memories. I also wish not to get on such subjects. I'm here to discuss ponies (among other things) not insert my personal view on religion, the world, and my perspective of such things as it alone would fill up an entire page.

@Kissing booth.
I said it once, I said it again. 'Tavi all the way. I deserve a round of applause for my devotion.

Thank you, doll.

@Takashi.O
Someone needs to record that. Big time.

@pheonix
I agree wholeheartedly with that post. Necessity is the mother of invention, after all. They really don't need use for many modern things such as vehicles because they are bloody ponies. They have magic, why would they need electricity? If they do, then the dam is explained, or it could be explained with the reservoir mentioned by someone else. They have trains that run on coal since they also do need ways to transport ponies and items through large distances as well.

@Ponies evolved from humans theory
Since this is Faust's creation we're talking about, what if Equestria came from the charred remains of what was left over from Aku? As explained from this image
WAIT A MINUTE!

WHAT IF THAT SAMURAI JACK MOVIE PROMISED SO LONG AGO IS BEING DELAYED SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO CONNECT IT WITH FIM IN SOME WAY!?!
…A man can dream, eh?

@Kissing booth discussion

Seriously people? I'm not going to say that's disgusting because they're horses, but they're horses, also known as the filthiest animals on the planet. And to my knowledge, none of them brush their teeth, so who knows what micro-bacteria is lurking in their oral crevices?

Furthermore, their coats could be riddled with fleas and other such atrocities, so I wouldn't even give a kiss on the cheek.

And I especially wouldn't give a kiss on the hoof. Horses are known to walk through their own fecal matter.

I know I've mentioned many times before that I dislike most humanizations, but this:

This is freaking awesome.

@Explosive Lasers the Element of Slapping
(sorry, don't visit these forums very often)

"If we act like the type of crowd that goes to Bronycons is something to be ashamed of, I’m afraid there is no way to make ourselves look like respectable human beings…
Opinions?"

well im terribly sorry but with all due respect to these people, they are unkept, are not taking care of their outer apearance at all, have incredibly strange beliefs (fortune cookie guy for example) and completely disregard social norms.

while social norms are not mendatory, completly throwing them out the window is outrahous and uncceptble.
people who do that are usually centered around themselves and have no care for other people's thoughts and/or feelings.

this kind of behavior is terribly unhealthy and dare i saw – shameful…

that's my opinion. scociety have social standards for a RESON

@Electric Muffins
Unclean teeth? I beg to differ…

As if anyone else could be more evil, cute, and awesome, all at the same time than Diamond Tiara. Chrysalis is a worthy villain, but no substitute for your daily dose of Vitamin Spoiled Bitch.

@Connor

CAN'T SEE ANYTHING MY EYES IT BURNS

Is that Photo Finish, Fancy Pants, and the Mayor at the same booth?

Talking about clean teeth and not mentioning Ponyville's resident dentist?
Wha?

Though, any species that uses its mouth for holding tools and changing dirty diapers ain't for kissin'.

Which is why I choose Trixie.
Unicorns don't carry things in their mouths. It's far too uncouth.

"Hey!"

"Are you callin' us Earth ponies 'uncouth?' Why I oughta sho-"

"Heh heh… Oops…"

@muffins
Filthiest animal on the planet? No way, not even close. They eat a diet of grasses and nothing else. They might not brush, but they have far less dental problems than humans or other meat eaters because they don't have to deal with rotting flesh between their teeth. Sweaty horses actually smell ok, the same cant be said for sweaty people. They really aren't that dirty. I do agree though that I wouldn't kiss them, but just because they are a different species, not because of cleanliness, hell, I give mouth to mouth to newborn lambs if needed

It's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. My little brother is both manic depressive and severely autistic- so believe me, I know the importance of "social norms."

Most bronies are regular, amiable people. A bunch of folks in 20% Cooler T-shirts or Cosplay or whatever is not outrageous nor is it unacceptable. It's who we are. Are there a few folks in our fandom that have a few mental issues to work out? Yes. my brother is an example of that. That does not mean we need to feel ashamed of our fandom. We just need to be tolerant and understanding of them.

Btw, I've been seeing a lot of these recently:

What's with that?

@Electric Muffins

It's this meme

Edit:
Thanks for the help El Slinker!

You got one extra http on that address, bro.
Anyway. Congratulations Australia! you can now play Mature games uncensored!

And then I lost all faith in the image gallery.

@The Bend Over thing:

It's an inside joke for the gallery originating from one of the images of the meme posted above that said 'Sex?' at the top, followed by responses that fit each character. Except Rarity, who just had 'Bend over' as her response. This was ridiculed in another one of the images that said 'Wanna be friends?' at the top, to which the characters responded normally.

Except Rarity…

Who just had 'Bend over' as her response.

So, since then (it was a day ago, I think) people have been making jokes about it, like the posted pictures.

Edit: You guys are taking this thing way too seriously. The original meme post was a joke in itself, and the 'Wanna be friends?' one was making further fun of it. It's not serious it all, it's just making fun of something that was made to poke fun at Rarity.

Yeah, not too ecstatic about that…meme, either.
Seems too over-the-top for me, and I've never been one for suggested rape or molestation (which is why I am certainly not a big fan of Molestia).
But figuring it's the internet, of course something like that's gonna spread.

GOD DAMN IT!!!
WHY SO MANY CHOICES!!!
I got to liquidate this thing down.
Okay my choices is between Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.
Must…choose….think…Think…THINK….THINK!...THINK!!!…. THINK!!! …. THINK!!! ….

Pinkie Pie would be a great kisser I mean she is a party animal so I am assuming she must know how to at least kiss a stallion. But Fluttershy's might be more calm and gentle.

Fluttershy possible would be scared off just by seeing some one coming to her though… However it would be awesome because she is like my waifu… But Pinkie Pie is my waifu as well..

COMPROMISE POWERS, ACTIVATE!!!

Kiss on forehead from Pinkie Pie. Then kissing Fluttershy's cheek. All that adds up to 5 bits.

FuckYeah.jpeg

First: Dat grammar. Dear lord, dat grammar.

Second: That's just plain rude. There is no nicer way to bring it, but you're just being mean and rude.

well im terribly sorry but with all due respect to these people, they are unkept, are not taking care of their outer apearance at all, have incredibly strange beliefs (fortune cookie guy for example) and completely disregard social norms.

What you're basically saying here is that everyone who goes to a bronycon is unclean filth who will never be accepted in society. Dude, you're being a huge d*ck here. I can go into details here on why this is incorrect, but the context in your post is just so plain wrong and contains so much generalising, it's not even funny anymore. I'm not even going to counter-argument you, the flaws should be more than obvious.

while social norms are not mendatory, completly throwing them out the window is outrahous and uncceptble.

True. But no one ever said the bronies in question have completely abandoned their social norms. You're just jumping to conclusions here.

people who do that are usually centered around themselves and have no care for other people’s thoughts and/or feelings.

And what makes you think that if I might ask? There are plenty of people out there who wouldn't go as "normal" by social standards. But does that make them social outcasts who should be avoided at all cost? No, and fuck you if you think so. You don't know those people, what gives you the right to think that they should be kept away from society?

And last of all, why is your description as "normal" really the socially accepted normal human being? What is socially acceptable is different everywhere. In the Netherlands, gay marriage is legally allowed. In certain middle eastern countries, being gay gets you the death penalty. What is socially acceptable in both countries varies a lot as you can see. Certain African tribes have fashion tastes that people in modern countries would like to avoid at all costs. But to them, it's completely normal. To them, our fashion tastes are something they would like to avoid.

This also applies to those bronies. Who cares that they are different? It doesn't make them less human. You might see them as social outcasts, but to them things like that are completely normal.

I know that you have asperger syndrome Jolly Jew, so I hoped at least you would understand a bit on how it would be to be socially different like some of the people you are describing (even though in different ways). But it seems I was mistaking miserably.

Calm down everyone…
