Description

Derpibooru, can I just tell you something? Do you know how many horrible things I’ve seen since I became a fan of the show we all love? Do you know the cynicism and ironically belligerent behavior that I’ve seen certain areas of the fandom devolve into?
 
Do you know you’re the only pony-centric place I’ve been to that is actually good?
 
Derpibooru, I just want to say my thanks. Thanks for convincing me to look on the bright side of the fandom, and ignore the things that turned so many others into cynics. Thank you for convincing me there’s some sense and level-headedness left in this fandom, and that there’s a group of people who can laugh things off instead of being overcome by drama. Thank you for having a community that knows what is important and why we are all here: for the ponies.
 
So thank you, Derpibooru and everyone on it. You restored my faith in this fandom.
 
tl;dr You guys aren’t that bad.

Yea, that was a great troll man. You’ll be good enough to hang with me and Sido sooner or later! Also thanks for reminding me about that. Every time my connection blows a gasket I forget wtf I was doing the previous day. Aye, the pains of living in a place where alcohol is a controlled substance. :{

I agree ItsThinking, it’s why I generally like delving into comments instead of just browsing the place for the pictures alone. I lurve u guise.
 
Maybe I should hop into the IRC sometime instead of being some drive-by commenter.

I will agree with this. After the debacle that I kinda caused with the Twilight Race pics, I found that the majority of Derpibooru were pretty cool people, and that even if they had strong opinions that didn’t mean they were trolls. The one moment I remembered that showed this to be true was in one post someone was quite upset that another poster would imply that there isn’t room to discuss race and discrimination. Can you even imagine something getting there on another site? On Youtube no one would get past ‘your[sic] racist’ and ‘whatever nig’… or something like that. On other sites there would be a shitfest long before that and everything would be a huge flame war or everything would be modded to the point where no one knew anything happened.
 
So, I agree. Thank you, Derpibooru.

I think it’s a result of our being more self-aware than most other sites. We see drama and annoying trends rise and fall through images, and thus are less prone to falling into such habits ourselves.

I don’t think so, like I said we have some people complaining about many thing but I rarely seen any ¨you suck for thinking or be that¨ in the comment.
 
The only few we had are usually in upload from exterior source specialized in drama by background ponies or a few notoriously know trolls members.

@Takuto_Shindou
 
That’s because YT appeals to the lowest common denominator: the silly, small minded individual who is “normal.” In other words, it tries to appeal to everyone, so it just gets a mish mash of mediocrity and a lowered level of connectivity.
 
As far as I know, the more vocal-ish people have this united sense of being pony fans but also interested with the stories and discussions that range from mundane to insightful. I don’t deny this site irritates me or bores me at times, but the people make this generally worthwhile. Especially the ones I hold pretty close (or as close as individuals can be thru the internet).
