It's been like 4 years since watching this show and I'm still impressed to this day about how far the show is getting. I never would've thought it'd make it randomly in a superbowl commercial (as short as it was), etc. :-D

It makes sense that Goons are more sensitive to TF2 than watching the Superbowl. :smirk:

:smirk: Maybe they couldn't find any real Colts fans for that part.


Don't make me come over there. :glare:

Funnily enough though, Peyton moved from the Colts to the Broncos. Clearly someone has a horse affinity, maybe he likes the show too.

I imagine it came down to the fact that the Colts' horseshoe wasn't as jarring-looking on the ponies as the Bronco's stylized horse-head would have been.

Are you guys serious? I think I counted 14 posts or so that were anti-pony and that somehow becomes a big deal? "Oh no, people don't like something I like and they say it. How can this be?!" Just get over it.

I found a quote from the thread I think is pretty cute, but I'm sure someone who likes ponies even more than I do will object to it:
a goon who probably hates things you like, clearly a literal satan wrote:"ma lee puddy" as my niece would put it!

I for one think there's nothing wrong with riffing on SA's known "ponies are evil, ban everyone who posts them" policy, because it's frankly ridiculous. Of course looking at a few posts and poking fun at them is pretty petty, but so are the at least half a dozen or so threads and many many posts on SA mocking bronies. :pinkieshrug:

You are free to disagree, but your passiveagressive tone is uncalled for.

It feels like when Hasbro was ask to submit the part it was months before the super bowl so they had no idea who would be playing so they went with one they liked the most.

No, what's ridiculous is that it's somehow our business what goes on on another forum. I agree that it is petty to mock people on the internet, but frankly it's awful people mocking awful people, and that thing goes both ways. If you want to roll in the mud, go ahead and roll in the mud. But don't claim that your mud is somehow better than the mud those other swine are rotating in.

Or possibly the team that they thought would fit MLP the most, which in this case, was The Colts.

I guess that's simply this forums' SA roots showing again. Quite a few people that frequent Round Stable also frequent SA, maybe even more than this place, and therefor see these things much more easily.

I don't think I'm some magically better person. There is no superiority warranted here, and if people think there is, they should read the discussions we had in DPC about the issues with the ivory tower mentality. I fully acknowledge I'm just some random fart on the internet who thinks it's pretty mockworthy that people get their knickers in a twist over a second of pony footage during an ad. I didn't see anyone here saying that everyone on SA is awful, though, and yes, I do take offense to being called an awful person just for doing something petty once in a while. Again, you are absolutely and seriously allowed to find this kind of mockery stupid, but I take issue with the blanket satement of "get over yourself" and "You are awful people".

And no one's saying that they're "awful people" anyway. We're just having a little bit of fun at their over reaction to a short amount of footage...I know it's wrong to do that sometimes but it's amusing to see. I don't think I'm any better than them for laughing at it but it's funny.

There's only 14 posts because the 2 pages of the thread had like ~14 posters in it or something, you'd probably get more trafficy pony hate if you bring up MLP in any of the popular GBS threads (which does happen from time to time, to about the same response but more numerous).

To be clear, I don't think anyone is saying it's a big deal or really making it a big deal. We are just pointing out a minor thing, the same way the guys in the thread are pointing out a minor thing they don't approve of (ie Ponies in a commercial). I don't think its wrong of them to dislike something and point out that they don't, so why is it then wrong to have fun with that when we too are being harmless about it?

We're not all decrying SA. Some of us still go there and we can see that even in those posts not everyone there cared at all about the MLP hate train either. Like come on, if you can't see that there's some funny hyperbole to laugh at in, "oh fuck my little pony we're all gonna die", regardless if you like MLP or not, maybe you need to lighten up a bit as well and realize that it's not specifically people disliking MLP that makes us focus on this here.

I can't speak for everyone, but FWIW I'm not trying to swing mud at them as if I think I or TRS is specifically superior to SA, so you should probably dispel that thought. Someone is free to look at my posts where I get mad at stuff like Hurricane Fluttershy and call me stupid and I can't really argue against that. I'd rather be in a place where we can acknowledge our own flaws and be considerate of the flaws of others than try and make this place some Ivory tower where we pretend everything in the world is hunky-dory.

And of those posts, none of them were more than a single sentence, and most of them I'm sure were done with a hint of facetiousness. I wouldn't call anything in that thread "rage".

Also, this site will always be ponygoons to me. It was where I could go to talk about ponies with goons. I spend a hell of a lot more time there than here. Heck, if not because of Something Awful, I wouldn't have learned about ponies nearly as quickly as I did.

I think we owe it to the culture of Something Awful to have the rules that we have here that keep this forum free of creepiness and shipping drama. Mostly why this is the only pony site I visit.

My post wasn't meant to attack or vilify anyone (and I apologize if it came off that way). I was just poking a bit of fun at how - for a lot of folks - even the mere mention of MLP and its adult fans is a sore subject.

I have no connections to SA, although I know a lot of people here do. So I'm sorry for anything disparaging about my post.

I've been reading SA since 2000 and been a member since 2001, back when accounts were still free. I used to attend weekly goon meetups in Boston and Los Angeles, and I still keep in touch with many friends I met through those meetups. I still read and post in the forums a lot, although I'm pretty much limited to two subforums now. SAS is the only sports forum on the internet where they actually crack down on raging homophobic sports fans, of which there is no shortage of on the rest of internet. I also met my boyfriend in the LGBT thread on SA. We've been together for 5 and a half years now, and we bought a home together last year. And let's not forget that without SA, The Round Stable wouldn't exist. So I really appreciate SA and all it's done for me.

That said, the stuff with bronies is pretty much the exact same thing that happened with furries back in the day. There's a mob mentality that borders on obsession. They literally had a Furry Concentration Camp where known furries would be slapped with a yellow star of David as their av and could only post in that specific forum. It took a decade for them to realize that furries are harmless, so they needed something else to band together and mock. Then bronies came along and filled that void. Make an account on SA, try posting anything about ponies that isn't mocking it, and see what happens. Any mention of ponies in a positive light will result in a shitstorm of angry posts, followed by an immediate ban. It's their forum, so they can run it however they want, but it's still stupid and childish that multicolored ponies gracing their screen for even fractions of a second would cause such a sudden and violent reaction.

SA on the whole doesn't actually give a shit anymore.

Yea if you come in with a fresh account going 'no actually guys this is why MLP is great' for no reason you'll probably get trolled to oblivion but that's mainly because the 90% of goons that don't give a shit are pissed off that you just opened a door for the 10% that still do to run around screaming.

Yeah, but lets not act like there aren't a lot of Bronies out there doing things that deserve to be mocked. Sure, there's a raging flame against Bronies, but Bronies are giving them LOTS of fuel. Hell, I find a lot of the Brony mockery that goes on in Something Awful even more funny because I do like the show. It gives me a perspective of "Yeah, I like the show, but thank god I'm not like those people." Some may say I'm being an elitist, but whatever. I'm perfectly happy liking the show for what it is and getting a laugh at people who take it way too seriously. If that makes me a bad person, so be it. :pinkieshrug:

Of course there are a lot of people on SA that overreact to bronies. But there's overreaction to a lot of stuff on the internet. It's the freakin internet. And Something Awful was founded around making fun of weirdos on the internet. That's just what it does. Banning Ponies from PYF threads outside the Weird Fanart Thread was a necessary step, because Brony Goons were flooding damn near every thread with pony pictures. It had to be done.

I guess what I'm saying it don't take people's negative reactions to ponies personally. It's okay to be self depreciating. I'll be 30 years old when the next season of ponies starts and I'll be watching. I'm not ashamed that I'll be a man in his 30s watching My Little Pony, but dammit, the fact that that's a reality about my life is hilarious, and I'm gonna laugh about it. :-P

I created that image macro and have used it several times on SA, but I never got banned for it.

There was definitely a TRS member who posted the Spitfire macro in the PYF macro thread and got banned for it. I thought it was shotgunbadger, but I guess I was wrong. I'm sure someone here knows who it was, though.

At the political cartoons thread, somebody linked to the politoons thread I started here (because Ted Rall linked it on his blog). The guy who posted it didn't realize I was the one who started it until somebody pointed out that he "accidentally doxxed me" (My SA username is "Mister Beeg"; I was still "Mr. Big" here at the time).

Remarkably, nobody gave a shit, and was pretty much forgotten later.

Honestly, the forums are generally pretty good. It's just goons in general like to get overly hung up over certain things that they decide are bad, and somehow FiM became one of those things. :pinkieshrug:
