Fox News affilliate Insults bronies, calls them freaks.

(the part about bronies starts about 2 minutes in)

It is amazing how little research they obviously did for this story. They obviously that they are morons who are just saying stuff that they think there viewers want to hear. I know it is Fox News and I should expect this crap from them but still.

I have not seen/heard of any people who are on disability for liking MLP. There may be some people who are but if there is it would be an isolated incident. It definitely is not indicative of bronies as a majority.

Are you defending grown men who go on disability because they love my little pony too much to work?

I mean, sure it's fun to hate of Fox news, but all they're saying is that we're paying to support people because they decide that life is too hard and they want to think about cartoon characters instead.

I am not saying that if someone is on disability for liking MLP it is right what I am saying is that I have heard /seen no reports of people doing that. And even if there is every show/subject has people whoa re going to go overboard with it. The main thing is that not every Brony is doing what they are claiming and so we shouldn't all be lumped into one pile and called freaks.

No I am not blowing it out of proportions I am annoyed at them but not outraged. I do find it obvious that they did little to no research before making their story and than they lump a whole group of people that they don't understand into the same category as people whoa re mooching off the government and have no life. To top it off they don't off any sources for their info or anything. The only thing they had was a few pictures off the internet and that was it. As I said I have not heard any stories about someone who quit there job becuase of MLP but even if they did it should be obvious that not all of us are like that and we don't deserve to be dumped into a "you are all lazy slobs and are what is wrong with America" category.

The error here is taking a term that had been coined for a community, and using it to describe another, way more fucked up community.

I like Firefly, but I wouldn't want to be associated with Browncoats, because I'm not obsessive. I'd put the same to MLP, Star Wars... any fandom, honestly. I dislike that if there is an obsessive fanbase with a title, by liking the same thing, you're dumped in with that extreme end of the spectrum. That's what creates the hipster perspective, where they like it before it's cool and then cease to like it.

Even more so when you understand that horses are fertile as one year olds, and only have one ovulation cycle per year, which is tied to the amount of sunlight in a day. So if the ponies wanted their own period, they should have installed additional lighting in their stalls, and simulate spring daylight cycles.

So, aside from bronies enjoying babies, the real problem with the ponies lack of period is very likely related to seasonal affective disorder.

How is a male community that enjoys My Little Pony any different than a male community enjoying football or 40 year old soccer moms lining up at midnight to catch the latest Twilight movie. This world has enough misery. If something brings enjoyment into your life and it doesn't negatively impact anyone else people should STFU. I don't watch My Little Pony but if it's got a good story and interesting characters then kudos to all you bronies out there. And, Fox, aren't you the same channel that runs the monthly "The newest teen craze that could be going on under your roof-teens shoving vodka soaked cotton balls up their keisters to get drunk. Tonight at 11."

It's not like those actually exist.

Now I am not saying that I would ever buy one and yes I think it would is a bit messed up but really is it any more messed up than the ones based off of vampires, Na'vi, etc? Every fan group has there nutcases and I don't think that this really reflects on the MLP: FiM fanbase as a whole.

at least the vampires and na'vi have some sort of human proportion, but no, they are all equally fucked up and those people are equally as weird.

Goddard brought Binet's intelligence test to the U.S. and began applying it to children here. Of course, it was originally written for French children, so the children didn't fare very well. What resulted was a horrible sequence of events that resulted in sterilizing the mentally retarded and essentially closing the gates on 80% of the immigrants coming through Ellis Island because they too could not pass the translated intelligence test. In the course of these events, Goddard invented the word moron to refer to people who scored below a 70 IQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology)

In Newfoundland the word 'fag' is used quite a lot. People from the mainland and other places (other than Britain) took offense.

Thing is, fag doesn't mean here what it means in others places. It means 'foolish' or 'dumb'. It wasn't until these people from outside the province started running commercials and articles and talking to kids about it in school that it started meaning homosexual.

It was then that is became truely derogative and the gay kids in school started getting teased and mocked for something they didn't do: taking away language.

Then the same thing happened to "retarded" shortly after.

It's such a complicated issue. I don't use the word fag...I do say retarded in spite of my better judgement though.

All these years, I have wondered if these 'betterment initiatives' cause more problems then changes.

That reminds of when I moved to London from Maryland, back when I was 15. "Fag" was (and as far as I'm aware, still is) used to refer to cigarettes in the UK, but I didn't know that at first. I was used to it meaning homosexual, which was how it was used in the States.

Imagine my bewilderment when, one day during lunch break, a classmate nudged me and pointed out two other classmates sneaking away to a hidden corner of the schoolyard, "Look at them, they're off to have a fag."

This is a generational thing. The current "foolish or dumb" usage evolved from using it as an insult. IE, you're so gay, being gay is a horrible thing, therefore calling you gay means that you are inferior. It is the same way that retarded developed as a descriptor.

You have to remove dumb and dummy from that list as well. Not trying to start anything, but a lot of these words have questionable origins. Lacking capability to speak = dumb = perceived as unintelligent = descriptor.

Like "moron", cretin and imbecile also derive from terms originally used to describe specific disorders. A cretin suffered from hypothyroidism, and an imbecile was a person with an IQ 26-50.

An idiot is a person who failed to participate in democracy in ancient Greece. It was also used medically to describe a person with an extremely low IQ (0-25).

I think everyone's just trying to say this kid doesn't have this filter yet, and doesn't have the understanding the rest of us do. For him, the etymological root of fag is as obscure as imbecile is to us. No one is saying you should 'take it,' they are saying it is better to adopt the charitible interpretation that he doesn't know, than it is to take offense. Nobody here is going to back up homophobic slurs or play down the fact that such things are used to bash and marginalise gay people.

May 26, 2012#195

phil

*sigh*

Ok, let's just all take a step back and count to ten real quick.

I don't think anyone is trying to justify using "gay" as an insult. Instead, I feel like people are just pouring out that one should not take the random postings of a high schooler with the perceived venom that hurtful words like that invoke. Anyone who says that they never said anything offensive like that as a kid is most likely being less than truthful. Meeting his words with attacks does little to solve the issue and promote a better understanding of one another.

And as Fade pointed out, words always have origins and those origins aren't always nice. If we strip away every word that could he used to cause offense, we won't have any left. Instead it's most likely better for us to realize this and understand that a word only has the power behind it that we allow it to have.

May 26, 2012#196

SeraRelm

Or, as I tend to view it, words, much like the societies which use them, evolve. It's the intent behind a word on which one should focus, not so much the word itself.

May 26, 2012#197

Ravenpoe

I also don't think anyone here is advocating that people go around using gay as an insult. Instead, they're explaining how someone who doesn't know better might not realize why they shouldn't, and that education is important.

Besides, at least you're not a thieving gypsy.

Dude, we're backing you up here in that it's not a good thing to say. What I'm saying is that the person in question did not necessarily mean it as you took it. I'm trying to bring a little calm to the situation. The dialogue may be what keeps him from using it in the future as he may not have realized the seriousness of the pejorative. We have always here been very tolerant of our LGBT brothers and sisters and that's not going to change. But before we go all pitchforks on the guy we need to show him understanding as well. If it turns out he is a homophobe I'll grab a fork and be right there with ya. Until then he's just a high school kid talking like a high school kid.

People are literally trying to justify usage of gay in the pejoritive. They're trotting out all the same tired old arguments that I hear over and over again. "language has evolved, get over it" and "other words used to meant something offensive at one point".

May 26, 2012#212

You note I have not said this once. I am not defending the use of the words in any way, merely pointing out that - for right or wrong - this is how high school kids talk. And since high school kids by and large communicate mostly with other high school kids, he may not know what he's saying has that sort of negative effect on the LGBT community.

Straight up post once in the thread to not use dumb bullshit terms like that, and go on with the thread. I think it's fascinating that people keep on tugging at an issue that obviously Bowie feels strongly about "because he's a high school kid". Especially when there are certain other words and topics that will definitely get your ass warned, banned, etc.

I mean, come on. There are several members on the forum that don't like the word faggot. Is it that hard to scratch it out of your vocabulary without any of this stupid ongoing justification?

SeraRelm

The word gay was adopted.. as in "evolved" though you may hate the term, to mean homosexuals. I don't really understand the anger at it moving on to mean something else entirely. I'm not saying the use of derogatory terms is proper, but it was taken from something else, so what claim do we have on it?

May 26, 2012#219

ElJuski

Sure, I can dig that, but I think all too many people on the internet are being post-modern about it. There's still this awful attitude against male homosexuality that gets propagated because people say its "okay". Gay doesn't just mean lame these days. People call each other, and other things, gay, because there's still a connection that homosexuality is wrong, and therefore, bad.

And for what it's worth, I don't think Halforums is really the place where this etymological evolution really needs to take place. Again, I find it hilarious that people normally so sensitive and angry about people being "mean" can sit around and say, "Oh who cares, get over it" about these slants against homosexuality.

Trust me, I won't lose sleep over it, but it definitely does make me wonder.

Yeah, the words can be used in life, and they can be used for comedy, and they can be used to create provocative dissections of words and how they affect people. It doesn't give a bunch of wiener kids carte-blanche for perpetuating a vicious history.

Because, again, Louis CK wouldn't be walking around Section 8 housing saying, "Hey no, guys, its okay, it really is!"

I don't think people even realize how many times I came close to suicide as a teenager because I came out of the closet and gay was a constant insult thrown at me. So, basically, I don't have to like the "new usage" and I refuse to just let it go.

I'm going to go ahead and walk away for a while.

I know where you're coming from, to an extent Bowie. I know about persecution, however I've never understood letting people get to me with "words". I could sit in a room with people calling me whatever they wanted for hours and I would walk out and have a milkshake and eat some pussy. It wouldn't bother me.

I understand physical bullying but I've never understood the outcry of "We must stop verbal bullying" it's just words. I don't get it.

Don't bother, MindDetective.

Bowielee, I like you, and I value your opinion, I truly do. The way you're coming at this situation though, it's all wrong. You may not like how a language changes over time, but it does. For better or worse, a word only holds as much meaning as a society places in it. Right now, that word, of which you have every right to find offensive in the context you see it, is changing to something else. I believe the people mentioning other words that went through similar changes are only trying to help you, not push you down or stifle you. I'm pretty sure we all want you to be happy (gay :awesome:

) in the original sense of the word.

Side note, cute used to mean keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd. Look at it now.

I don't post the above to be hurtful, because I don't think the entry of gay as a synonym is meant to be so there, but it does convey the many shades of meaning that words have. I also don't condone the use of gay with the above meaning either, simply because there are much, much better words to use and that this particular word does have a lot of baggage with it and that people DO cross the meanings when they use it in this way quite often.

Words do hurt, and they are used senselessly and to bully, but they sometimes carry an intent that is harmless. That said, communication requires two people, the person speaking, using their words to convey their intent, and the person interpreting, who must be considered by the speaker.

Im sure the gay as silly is the light-hearted meaning that is used in I Feel Pretty.

The fact is some people don't know better and then some people simply do not care. The people who do not care don't feel any responsibility towards others for what they say and there isn't much you can do about it. It is probably best just to use words as kindly as possible and yes, disregard those who do not feel the need to.

At this point, we're both being pretty pedantic.

Look, hunker down kids, cause this is going to be a long one.

Anyone who reads these boards with any regularity know that I generally try to keep a level head about things. I try my best to be somewhat impartial and consider all sides in an argument. I'm more than willing to consider other people's side of things. There are very few issues where I flip my shit. This happens to be the one that sends me straight over the deep end.

Shego, I'd like to particularly direct this part to you. Remember a few threads back when I made a generic comment about someone's mother being nice and you flipped your shit and went on a rampage about how much you hate her? That's basically what this whole issue does for me.

There is a LOT of personal baggage that is at play here. On a fully intelectual level, I actually do understand all the arguments, and if I take myself outside myself, I can somewhat understand where many are coming from.

But quite frankly, when I hear that phrase, I feel like all the work I've done my entire life of fighting a system that hates me for merely existing is all for nothing. I don't think many of you understand just how widespread homophobia is. Yes, I know that homophobia is pretty much a misnomer as it's come to mean predudice against gay people, rather than fear of gay people (hey, look at that, I understand word evolution). I see the acceptence of the whole "that's so gay" thing as a direct slap in the face for every single stride I've made in my life. It's not even the phrase itself, it's what it represents. Gay people have gained a hell of a lot of face acceptence in the media and such, but really I see under that veneer sometimes because people don't generally realize I'm gay and talk they way they would with other straight guys with no women around.

Is everybody like that? no. But all this happening every day has a cumulative effect to the point where sometimes, I just want to scream.

So, basically, I'm walking around with this big emotional scab that gets picked at almost every day. And the second someone touches it, I react like someone who's been hurt because I AM someone who's been hurt.

TLDNR version

I realize I've been kind of a dick about this, but I still have reasons for being a dick about this.

Dam(n) dykes, stealin' all the hot girls...

But no, it's possibly a shortened form of morphadike, dialectal garbling of hermaphrodite, or a shortened term for bulldyker* which was used by blacks in the early 1920s meaning "to engage in lesbian activities." Before that, there isn't much mention.

That isn't true though. Burning was never a punishment for gays. It's as much an urban legend as fornication under consent of the king.

May 26, 2012#265

Shegokigo

Bowielee - 1# You got me on the sociopathy, I realize I don't connect with others on how they see the "emotional world", but at the same time, on a logical stand-point, it makes zero sense why anyone should have any kind of power over you with just the sounds that come out of their mouth. I honestly just always wrote it off as "ignorant childish antics" or "they don't mean the term the way they're using it". To say someone ended their life (as has been happening) because of verbal abuse, it just baffles me. Which we already covered so that was basically just a circular logic conversation I had with myself.

2# If you think I was "flipping my shit" when someone talks about mothers you misunderstood, there's zero anger. I honestly bathe in the pleasure knowing that her physical and mental state has plummeted to the depths of nightmare. Why would knowing someone suffer bring me the least bit of anger?

"male homosexual," 1914, Amer.Eng. slang (shortened form fag is from 1921), probably from earlier contemptuous term for "woman" (1590s), especially an old and unpleasant one, in reference to fa**ot (1) "bundle of sticks," as something awkward that has to be carried (cf. baggage "worthless woman," 1590s). It may also be reinforced by Yiddish faygele "homosexual," lit. "little bird." It also may have roots in British public school slang fag "a junior who does certain duties for a senior" (1785), with suggestions of "catamite," from fag (v.). This also was used as a verb.

Bubble181

Just to be annoying: while I can't determine what the intention of the post oh-so-long-ago was, I find it weird so many people here are saying "teenagers talking like teenagers do", "he may not know it's hurtful", etc. Sure, that can happen. But in my experience, a LOT of what teenage boys say IS meant to harm/hurt. It's probably the easiest way to feel superior to someone - push the other one down. Much easier than trying to actually be a better person. The average HALOtard (see what I did there?) may call his buddies "gay" or " fag" ironically, but he'll use it as an intentional attack in other cases. May not realize how bad it is, but still. The difference between calling the guy with the glasses four-eyes or the boy who's a bit more effeminate "gay" (because actual sexual preference doesn't matter in this context) may not be clear for him, but we should be aware.

Pass judgement that I (a 30 something, male) has watched the show, and is telling you that the Brony excuse for it being "good TV" is just an excuse for weirdos to get their jollies off on cartoon ponies. It's not a good show, it's the same caliber as many other kids' shows.

Out of curiosity (and the fact that they just added the show to Netflix streaming) I decided to check out a few episodes. It's a solid show, on par with any of the kid's shows of it's kind like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Danny Phantom, etc... It's a great kids show that I can see why it has an adult appeal as well.

At least it made me laugh, which is more than I can say for most shows on TV.

Out of curiosity (and the fact that they just added the post to my alerts list) I decided to check out a few posts. It's a solid post, on par with any of the kid's posts of it's kind like Mathias' Rant for Imaginary Slights, Gassy Bandit, etc... It's a great kids post that I can see why it has an adult appeal as well.

At least it made me laugh, which is more than I can say for most posts on HF.

I watched the first season just to see what all the hubbub was about. It made me laugh out loud maybe 2-3 times and miss Dexter's Lab and the Powerpuff Girls.

And that was my reaction.

I find myself laughing at it more often than because of its jokes unfortunately. And then I feel bad, because I'm doing MST3k riffing to a children's cartoon.

It's a decent show; not terrible like some of the shit my cousins watch on Disney channel. There are nightmares there that hurt to witness.

So yeah. I watched both seasons I admit. Got some teasing from the woman for it. When she asked why I watched the whole thing, the only reason I could really give was the show felt innocent. To me it was funny without trying too hard, some characters were a bit easy to identify with, and at least to me it didn't stoop to vulgarity for humor. A solid kid's show I would let any kid watch.

May 31, 2012#334

I really don't think anyone has issue with the show. People have issue with the obnoxiousness of nerds hoping to be innocent, ironic, and original by watching a kid's show about ponies.

Once in a while, I think my sexual interests aren't all 100% perfeclty normal. Thank god for the internet to show me just how relatively innocent anything I could imagine masturbating to is, relative to what's out there.

...Seriously, they're drawn ponies. WTF?!

"You have to be open-minded to understand masturbating to horses, sometimes even underaged horses."

Dear lord I can't believe all the things people freely admit to doing. It sounds like most of them were dressed up as a pony so they probably would be the most extreme of the fandom but still.

OKay, so I came back here (god know why), and remembered I hadn't clicked through on Drifter's second link, what with being at work at the time and all.

Guys in horse suits are one thing, actual horses? Come on, people, that's not bronies, that's bestiality plain and simple.

Bronies are pathetic losers. I mean, goddamn. Spanking it to cartoon ponies has to be the ultimate low point in your life. Virgins in their 40's living with their parents have to look at that and go "Eh, could be worse."
