Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Thanotos Omega  
then that makes it better (editted the comment).

I can’t help but feel that people draw more attention to when people say rude things to LGBT pics than when other ones involving race, religion/beliefs, or the like are given the same amount of syay, and I can’t help but feel that there’s a bit of hypocrisy with it.

@Meanlucario  
Does this have anything to do with the recent Pride pics here?

@ice1517  
No, but the lengthy chat people had about it in some of the fourms do. Also, isn’t it the end of June? Is Pride Month late or early?

@Meanlucario  
Well it was relevant to what was happening. We had pics of LGBT stuff that were getting a lot of hate and people were speaking out against the hate.
 
And a lot of people here also don’t like it when someone makes racist comments or comments insulting religion either, its just that LGBT things are more likely to get shit on (not helping with all the things that have happend to LGBT people over the past few years like the Orlando shooting or Chechnya making concentration camps for LGBT people, or Russia having laws that allow them to post anti-gay propaganda)

@ice1517  
Wasn’t the guy that shot up Orlando also gay, and that his other choice was Disneyland (or World, I forget which), so I don’t think that one really count.

@Meanlucario  
The guy was married to a woman, his family said that he got angry when he saw a gay couple kiss in the streets, and the police said the FBI had no persuasive evidence that he was gay.
 
And it was still an attack on LGBT people either way.

@ice1517  
I heard that her was something under the LGBT umbrella, and I just assumed that it was gay. Also, that doesn’t explain why he considered Disneyworld as another spot to shoot up.

@Meanlucario  
There were multiple reports that he did not like gay people, and posts on his social media saying that he was going to get revenge on America for the Drone strikes, and he probably thought that attacking a gay nightclub during a month dedicated to gay people would have a bigger impact then getting a theme park, and it seems to fit with what those close to him said about him not liking gays.

@Background Pony #86BF  
Yikes.
 
As little as I can stand some of his more ideological posts, read Rule 0.

@NotYourAverageLurker  
A lot of us here have users we don’t like, but its common sense to not name them in public, because it against rule 0.

People need to stop making it so that emotion and logic are somehow are incompatible, that a person must either follow one or the other instead of using both and creating a balance. Which is more reasonable.

@EquestrianScholar  
I mean, emotion is also derived from logic, in a sense.

@Background Pony #86BF  
How ironic. You won’t be missed, either.

@Derpy Whooves  
Appropriate

@Derpy Whooves
 
Ban evader?

@Jarkes  
No, just someone with a rapidly growing list of bans, who was temporarily between bans.

I like the idea of Cinematic Universes, but the Mummy is a bad example of it.

@Meanlucario  
Good thing Kong: Skull Island came out then

@fobone  
I still feel that the Monster CM they’re going for is going to be dumb.

@Meanlucario  
It looks fine so far.  
Not any different from any other Godzilla era canon really, especially the heisei era

@fobone  
Maybe it’s mostly The Mummy that soured me on them. It looked bad and stupid from the trailers alone.

@Meanlucario  
Fair enough.  
I don’t have any interest in it myself, which is a shame. We haven’t had a genuine horror mummy movie is quite some time.
 
I would’ve loved to have seen that, but evidently that’s not what happened.

Despite the recently increasing number of anons suggesting the tinkering if not full repealing of 4chan’s 15th rule (“All pony/brony threads, images, Flashes, and avatars belong on /mlp/”), I don’t think that will work for the same 2 reasons that those anons tend to use to credit the idea; it has been too long and /mlp/ shouldn’t have been made in the first place.
 
First history:  
FIM came out in October 10th 2010 and after the fandom on 4chan became so exceedingly large and with their own distinct culture and their was widespread shitposting from both sides about it while mlp posts were being made all over the site not just it’s appropriate board /co/ (comics and cartoons). This prompted the creation of /mlp/ during February 2012, before season 2 even ended in April that same year.
 
An now for the arguments:  
MLP has been around for 7 years and /mlp/ 5. Much to the surprise of the then 4chan owner Moot, MLP ending up living far far longer than the anons of the time, fans and otherwise, ever expected and with comics, EQG, and a movie it expanded out far further too. If we were back in say 2013 or 2014 and /mlp/ was disbanded or wasn’t made back in 2012 then it would be fine after the initial shitstorm since the 4chan of the modern day eventually came accustomed to big fandoms sprouting (well outside of pol’s overstepping)without cause as much as a scuffle (though there still will be scuffles). But it is [Current year] now. The rule has been around for 5 years and has been so cemented into the status quo that’s actually gotten a resurgence of the rule’s defenders and their rivals nipping at each others heels. Not to mention that after all this time a sudden or even a drip feed style administration of pone would excite shitposting far larger than the one that birth /mlp/ the first place and with a repeat response comes the repeat solution “just make /mlp/ again”. It’s a bubble too large to pop without massive backlash and chaos from all sides; one that I doubt the mods can or even would take on the chin and ride out the storm until the post-/mlp/ 4chan culture settled. It’s not like the likes of /l/,/sm/ (Lolikon and Shotakon) and /g/ (guro), boards that only lived for less than 2 years, a /mlp/ rule repeal has basically become one of 4chan’s boogeymen.
