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

@bannedmorethan10  
oc on the right looks pretty cute tho

@bannedmorethan10  
I don’t cringe at very much brony activity, but inserting ponies into RL pictures of yourself is one place I draw the line. It’s almost always dumb and edgelord-y and makes the person look like a sperglord.

@NoBronyInParticular  

 
No, it’s not PP.  
It was another person on DA. Coincidentally, her threat was made during the heat of DWM. But she didn’t seem like she had any part in the ruckus.

I can’t believe I used to defend LightningSword on Fimfiction. He’s awful.

@Jarkes  
What and who?

@Jarkes  
I recognize that name. But what exactly did he do.

@Jarkes  
Ok, so i saw one of his blogs talking about the MLP Movie Trailers. This guy got nasty because of a 2 second clip of Starlight’s appearance. And i can tell this is one of guys who can’t accept others opinions because people in the comments section was telling him to cut it out with the Starlight hate. God knows how long he’s been doing it.
 
But you need some balloons from this pity party. Don’t say “Starlight didn’t ruin the show” he’ll take it as a personal attack on him. And he calls people “Soft and Fragile” even though he himself can’t handle opinions. He calls people immature, but he’s the one acting like he can’t take an opinion other than his.
 
And this guy made a follow up blog boo hooing about it. Nobody forced him to like her. No kidding, I read through that entire blog and i seen that no one was forcing him to like Starlight. It was just one big temper tantrum, victim playing, pity party of a blog on his end. His attitude was unwarranted.
 
Also, yeah i know, it seems like he has depression and has a lot to deal with mentally. I get it. But please don’t use it as an excuse to be hostile towards the people who say “enough is enough you’re acting like a child.” I read through that whole journal. Nobody was being hostile towards him about it. This drama was ALL on LighningSword.
 
Don’t even get me started on his blog about “Fame and Misfortune” That was so cringe.

@Jarkes  
So what was the last straw for you when it comes to Lightning Sword?

What is with people in cartoon fandoms and depression?  
It seems like a chronic and universal ailment.

Not exactly cringe.  
But funny.  

@SeraphimDawn  

 
OK, here’s a possible (probable?) explanation: The people who identify the most with cartoons are those in desperate need of escapist fantasy. These are people who don’t want just, say, superheroes or light fantasy like CSI or sitcoms. They want deep fantasy, where it’s clearly an entirely different world, one they can lose themselves in completely. These are people who generally have something in their personal lives that they need to get away from, like abuse or a sad life situation. So they dive into cartoons to get away from it all, but they can never escape the feelings they really have about their real lives.

@SeraphimDawn  
Okay that gave me a good laugh.

@Nightweaver20xx  
You just described me right there

@Nightweaver20xx  
Erm, the Great Depression dude. Cartoons were supposed to uplift the depressed. People should know that by now.

@Ponynstuff320 (Toon-n-crossover  
That’s I suppose tangentially related, but we were discussing current cartoon fandoms and why so many people in them seem depressed.

@Nightweaver20xx  
That’s like saying why black people inevitably like DBZ. It’s like why question it lmao.

Looks like that German guy is going after someone I follow on DA now.

All right, so everyone here can be happy, I’m going to come out and admit I’m part of the cringey part of this fandom. I constantly play the victim and beg people for sympathy, and then I lash out at those trying to help me. It doesn’t make me happy to admit just what a total fucking asshole I’ve been for years now, believe me. I’m being mocked behind my back and I deserve every single bit of it. My art is absolute fucking shit, I’m a lazy fuck who refuses to get a job or a girlfriend, and I constantly expect others to validate me. I AM THE PROBLEM. There, I finally got it all out. I’m sorry that I made everyone’s lives in the fandom that much more miserable because I’ve been around, I really am.

@Nightweaver20xx  
Nightweaver… You are admitting to mistakes yout have made. That’s a huge step up over others I’ve seen. I haven’t seen you harassing anyone or trying to seek attention. Your art is fucking wonderful, you don’t have to get a girlfriend if you want to, and while it’s not quite the time niw, I think you’ll start off good in a small job. I think you’ve been working on those issues of being rude and jerkish to others. You may have to work on it nore, but I think you’re getting better. Finally… don’t worry about others validating you. As long as you keep yourself humble and accept humility and responsibility when faced with a situation, be proud if who you are. Don’t let others dictate who you are as a person.

@Nightweaver20xx  

 
Depression is a hell of a thing, sadly. I can sympathize.

@FrzGT  
I’m not depressed. I’m just sick of being a loser, but now I understand why. And I understand why people are treating me like Chris Chan.

@Nightweaver20xx  
Well you know what, you’re not like him. At least you are aware of it, and I know of you try hard enough that you can change..

@Binkyt11  
I think it’s just better if I don’t say anything in reply to anybody about this. People might misinterpret it as me playing the wounded dove.

@Nightweaver20xx  
I don’t think so. I can see why you’re worried though. I understand.

@Nightweaver20xx  

 
Youre far from Chris Chan, I can assure you.
 
Everyone makes mistakes atleast once in a while.
