  1. Title: Bronies and non-bronies, read this.
  2.  
  3. Okay everybody, listen up, I'm not typing this for no reason.
  4.  
  5. I've about had it with the MLP fanbase that's decided to reside on the Blockland forums. There are a few of you who aren't bad and keep the like of the show to yourself, but a lot of you are just fucking ridiculous, you know that?
  6.  
  7. Point #1: The Two MLP Topics
  8. I've mentioned this several times, and I'll mention it several more times. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen out of it all. The first topic had 999 pages, and the second one is nearing almost 250. Do some quick math, and that's 1249 pages. The first topic had 14,973 posts, while the second has 3,712 at the time of typing this. That's a total of 18,685 posts. Now, you're asking me what the big deal about this is probably. The issue is this: there is not that much to fucking talk about. I mean seriously, not even Portal 2 has that much to talk about, weighing in at 322 pages with 4,815 posts at the time of typing this. Do you see what's wrong here? A show with currently 26 episodes aired according to Wikipedia does not need 1249 pages. Compare that to a highly popular anime, and you'll notice that there just isn't that much to talk about. It gets up to maybe 10-20 pages at most before it ends up dying, but somehow you manage to create over 1249 pages over a TV show, featuring bright blue and pink ponies, meant for little girls. It's really not necessary. What's even worse about this is that there has been supposed “Rule 34” posted in the MLP topic. Now, I do understand that this isn't the general fanbase, but to the people who post that stuff and actually enjoy pictures like that: you are the fucking worst type of furry (yes that crosses the border of furfagism) out there and should therefore kill yourself immediately.

  10. Point #2: Avatars
  11. This is one of the biggest issues I have with the MLP fanbase here as well. Now, wait. Before you go at me saying “BUT YOU BLOCK THEM WITH ADBLOCK SO IT'S NOT ANNOYING!!!11!”, I'll tell you that I try to keep them blocked, but the problem is on the fanbase side. They decide that they need to change their avatar every friggin' day to reflect that they like the show, and some of them even flip out and start deliberately changing their avatar to the same picture every 5 minutes once they find out that someone somewhere is blocking their avatar from showing up on their computer. Now you're probably going to be all like “IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT YOU BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME IMAGE!”, well, it does. When you upload a new avatar to SMF, it uploads it in the form of an attachment with a unique identification number. So, every time you upload the same avatar, the old copy gets erased off of the database and is replaced with the new one, circumventing any people who might've used Adblock to prevent their avatars from showing up. I also know people are going to be all like “WELL JUST DEAL WITH IT”, but let me give you an example as to why it's so difficult to do so: Let's say multiple people become a fan of this ridiculously obese guy who barely wears any clothing. There are normal people who would just rather not see this obese guy and his equally-obese friends in avatar form, and would therefore block it. However, they decide that they want to change their avatar every other day to reflect their fandom of this obese guy, as others figure out that their obese-guy avatars are getting blocked by others, so they decide to start changing theirs to the same avatar every five minutes. Same issue with MLP. I (and multiple other people as well) don't want to see your MLP avatars because we dislike it, and you keep trying to circumvent our Adblock filters. It gets ridiculously annoying ridiculously fast, and we shouldn't have to do it every friggin' couple of hours.

  13. Point #3: Friendship Isn't Magic, You Dumb Fucks
  14. This is quite hypocritical of most of the MLP fanbase. They watch a show that clearly states “Friendship is Magic”, and yet they're some of the biggest asses out on the forum today. Changing avatars, posting pictures of MLP outside of the MLP topic (albeit this happens rarely, but it does happen), and continuing to be an ass to everybody who wants to not have to look at something from a show directed at 10 year old girls. That's not friendship, that is, yet again, being an ass.

  16. Point #4: Why Here?
  17. This is what I don't get either. Most of the MLP fanbase on these forums are posting on a forum meant for the game Blockland. While I understand that a few of the fans have actually bought the game, there are those that literally signed up just for the MLP topic, seriously. So, how much sense does that make? The Blockland Forums isn't the “MLP fanbase”, it's the Blockland Forums. Treat it that way. Plus, there are literally other places you could go to post all you want about your love for MLP, it doesn't take much effort to find at all, and this really isn't the best place for you guys, much like how this isn't the best place for fans of anime, which is why I barely post about anime-related stuff here. I do it somewhere else that's actually meant for it. What I'm also saying is, if you were to migrate to a forum that was actually meant for MLP fandom, nobody would bother you, nobody would bother us, and we'd all move on with our lives peacefully.

  19. Conclusion
  20. I've just about had it with the Blockland Forums turning into the “MLP fanbase”. Out of the total time that I've been here (6 years), I've seen a lot of idiocy, been part of the idiocy, and am even an idiot still to this day, but this has topped any of that idiocy by hundreds of miles. While I really wish Badspot or one of the forum moderators would step in and do something about this already, they haven't, and I think it's about time they did already, seeing as how I bet it's not making them too happy either. This has been going on for too long, it's time for it to stop.
  21.  
  22. That's all I have to say. If you've actually bothered to read this and will try to stop being an idiot, props to you.
