Talk:My Little Pony

Oh God No

And so, it has spread from /co/ to /tg/ and other boards.

Nothing is sacred. Everything is corrupted.

I say delete the page, permaban everyone who edited on it, and we never speak of this again. Biggus Berrus 21:59, 22 October 2011 (BST)

If we delete the page, fags will simply bring it back. The /tg/ way is to cover it in sarcasm. We add fail and heresy tags, and use it as practice for our hilarious writing. AmbullFucker

Youtube links

I think it is HILARIOUS that people keep editing the youtube links to "improve" the character descriptions of the mane 6 core 7 characters of MLP:FiM. --NotBrandX 15:28, 22 October 2011 (BST)

I edited to add in a bit of /TG/ humor and shoehorn in more bluelinks, and also because some of the videos were TL;DR. I'm sure somebody will steamroll my edits in a day or so, and then we'll have a bitter revert war and somebody will get banned. In other words, progress! --Petro

The floggings will continue, until morale improves. -- Jaimas

Fuck This Page

The article was obviously written by a ponyfag who's in denial over the fact that most of /tg/ either hates the show or feels apathetic about it. It has nothing to do with traditional games or anything /tg/ related, it's just there because the world shittiest fanbase can't shut up about their show. --87.54.43.226

Which is why we must rip the piss as much as possible. It is the /tg/ way. AmbullFucker

Indeed. --87.54.43.226

Right then, sarcasm added. Stop deleting the article, it'll simply get re-posted by some bronie. Instead, add more lulz. AmbullFucker

LET'S DO THIS!

Might've accidentally deleted some of your stuff due to starting to revise before you began. ----87.54.43.226

It's all good bro, it's all good. AmbullFucker

Oh for fuck's sake. We've edited the hell out of this article to avoid this kind of bullshit. -- Jaimas

It's never going to be a nice and fair article without getting into an edit-war. Instead, be more cynical about the thing you love, and add more 'jokes'. A funny and sarcastic article is better compromise than frequently having no article at all. If it reads as praise, it'll get rage edited by some knob-jockey. But then you know this, surely, your Jaimas, god of the wiki. AmbullFucker

Your version didn't read as "jokes", it read as a diatribe of hate. It wasn't really funny at all. You can still be funny without being relentlessly negative, and you can still make it clear that MLP is generally poorly received on /tg/ without calling the entire fanbase paedophiles. It's also helpful to be informative, and given that 4chan spawned the whole phenomenon in the first place I think it is a good idea to have a brief overview of the history.

In my personal experience, /tg/'s reaction to pony these days consists of a few people immediately going "PONYSHIT TROLL SAGE REPORT" while everyone else just gets on with their day (but I can hardly claim to be on it all the time, so perhaps sometimes it is worse. I certainly believe it was much worse in the past during the height of the drama). Believe it or not, if someone posts about their pony RPG or whatever they are not intrinsically trying to troll you. They might just like ponies and RPGs, and they are not alone in this. --87.194.31.223 15:17, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Here we go again. Article re-edited with less name calling. I still say we should excise the 'characters list' or possible replace it with /tg/ ponies, if any exist. - AmbullFucker

I don't think any do. I'm not overwhelmingly attached to the characters section either, and I'd probably chuck it in favour of a better overview of the history of the phenomenon. --87.194.31.223 16:20, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I wrote some text. I'm not going to start hacking at the main article with wild abandon because that way darkness and edit wars lie, but people can look at it and maybe we can assemble an article like civilised people. Also observe the results of my compulsive tendency to alliterate wildly whenever I'm discussing ponies. --87.194.31.223 16:39, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Minor revisions, more images. Review. --87.194.31.223 17:52, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I like it, though we should keep the existing gallery. --AmbullFucker

Glad to see ponyrage is still alive and well. You can trim it, but I suspect it will all be re-added by bronies and trolls as long as the popularity endures (took people about two days to shit up my beautiful Matt Ward rewrite). Thats the problem with wikis, the wrong people keep editing them. --Petro 17:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

And fucking Petro made that shit nice, too. --Jaimas 13:04, 18 November 2011

I'd post the gif of the Equestrinatus, but it's just over 4mb. Feelsbadman.jpg Biggus Berrus 23:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Damn, this article got nerfed and streamlined harder than Cruddace's tyranids. while i don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the show, there are all kinds of things wrong with being a brony - and the way i read it, this version of the article directs practically all of the negativity towards them. this is a good thing, as that's where the rage comes from, really. Not sure if it's heresy AND rage tag worthy - i'd drop the former.

still, a better revision, all round. --Kirby2567 00:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with the show, but it's not okay to identify yourself as a fan? Perhaps you should try and remember that by their very nature the most extreme subset of any cult fanbase is the part you will have the most exposure to. You can't tar an entire group with the same brush just because a small part of it wants to have sex with horses, especially when membership is attained by saying "I am X" - the Anonymous movement suffers from the same problem.

At any rate the article is more negative than I'd have liked to make it but apparently it needs to be in order to get people to stop fucking around with it, and also I may have gotten a little carried away with opportunities to alliterate. --87.194.31.223 01:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
