Another Cringe Thread About Bronies in General. (Possibly NSFW)

@Panko Pai  
I felt like I had a stroke reading the title what the fuck

@Panko Pai  
What the heck is starlight cum

Apparently this image is on Derpi for 3 months that is both rated safe and has magical unicorn mayonnaise tag. On DA it was posted like 3 days ago.

Motherf-

@Panko Pai  
I thought it was just badly edited art until I saw the second part. Bitch, what the fuck—

I feel as if bronies on average are less cringe than furries but when bronies do cringe, oh boy they don’t hold back

@Commune  
Yep

Bronies are still a thing?

@Background Pony #19DA  
Surprised?

@Background Pony #19DA  
Yup. Thankfully, it’s mostly filled with sane people now. The crazy ones moved to the furry fandom once the show ended.

@Penguin Dragneel  
We’re mutually better off without the other faction. I wonder if Pokérotica fans are all furries or if they’re separate like bronies (or if they simply lack a cohesive community altogether).

@Penguin Dragneel  
What?

@Penguin Dragneel  

 
That is not true and you know it  
At the very least, they will be back

@Commune  
God I hope not.

@Commune  
In that case, how can we keep them away?

@PUBLIQclopAccountant  
Honestly, I kinda want them to stay
 
I mean, admit it, it’s very entertaining to see them act they way they are

@Commune  
Probably attacking pony life

The last time I attended a science fiction con was in 2016. Cons are already centers for cringe anyway, and I only went to them because a friend of mine, now deceased, bought, sold, and traded assorted skiffy memorabilia in the “Hucksters’ Rooms” at various local cons, and I’d help him pack and unpack, and watch the booth while he stepped away to do con stuff.
 
Now you have some context. The incident that stands out to me of that last con is being set up across an aisle from a woman who was selling books on how to write erotica. Some morbidly obese fellow–if he weighed less than six hundred pounds it was not by much–wearing a fedora and an MLP t-shirt was waving his cane around from his electric mobility scooter. Really. And he was bellowing at her in his outside voice, so that everyone in the room heard every word he said, that he had a medical marijuana card, isn’t that GREAT? and his wife was bi, isn’t that GREAT? and did the lady in the booth want to get high and fool around with him and his wife? I will always be haunted by the “help me” look in her eyes.
 
That was the last con I attended, in part because of that incident, in part because my friend’s health declined seriously after that and he died about a year and a half later, and that was the last con he was ever able to attend.
 
Possibly I am judging harshly based on a single incident, a single experience. I know that if you gather people in one place in sufficient numbers, the Law of Large Numbers says you’re going to see strange things. I know that cons for stamp collectors or fantasy baseball fans always have That Guy. I know. It makes me angry that memories of time spent with a good friend are marred with that individual’s public behavior, though. And I know I shouldn’t take it personally. I know I was just a spectator. But it still enrages me. And four years later I’m still angry enough about it that I think I will never attend a con again, because I think I just might drop dead of a heart attack if I ever cringe that hard again.
 
Maybe I have anger issues. Maybe the problem is me. I don’t know. I know that all the cute cosplayers and all the nerdcore rappers and all the gaming workshops and all the Star Trek merch on Earth could not tempt me to go back.

@Background Pony #9CEE  
That why I never go to con not even brony con

@Background Pony #9CEE  
I’ve been to 10 pony and 3 general cons (including Planet Comicon in KC twice) and have never seen any cringe.

Maybe you aren’t able to recognize cringe when it happens.
