Yes that's why I'm asking. Two completely different demographics there.

And isn't this thread for everything not productive?

Well red when you put it that way it sounds like kids will stop watching once they see a grown man watching it. I wasn't trying to put it that way but whatever floats your boat i guess.

Ceri what did this have to do with anime?

@chaos I know but i still don't like it

Touhou is also hate-able but people can be more attracted to lolis than ponies. Just general acceptance. Think about it, Touhou has the same level of obnoxiousness that MLP has.

Are you referring to the series themselves, or their fans? Because I honestly don't see either series to be 'obnoxious'. When it comes to the fans, yes there are some notorious people out there. But when you think about it, what fanbase doesn't have a few bad apples? There are a lot of fans that give a series a bad name, but one shouldn't have to be afraid to express themselves on how they like something without people giving them a critical eye for it.

MOBILE ADDON Fans mainly. I don't really think a franchise itself can be obnoxious. Yea no one should be afraid to express themselves but then again no one should poke bears with sticks and complain of the results.


Personally, I don't know much about Touhou or MLP. I have played a few games from the former, one being a really fun fighting game, the other being a Megaman fangame, and the last being a sort of Metroidvania type of one. I'm a bit interested in the series as a whole, but never enough to really explore the full depths of it. Meanwhile, I've only watched about a single episode of MLP. I will give credit where credit is due; it was kinda humorous and I had a good laugh at its silliness. However, I couldn't get attached to the characters or setting; it just didn't appeal to me. So that was as deep as I ever stepped into it.

I can see why someone would like Touhou and/or MLP, male or female. Saying it's "just for (little) girls" just makes it feel like someone's afraid of catching cooties or something. And judging a franchise by its fanbase feels rather simpleminded, as well.  
ADDON: No one says it should JUST be for girls but when it is CLEARLY not your demographic one shouldn't ruin it for everyone else and thats what happened there

I read your post several times and still couldn't figure out your reason for why it was wrong. I'm not sure if I'm being extremely absent minded at this point and am missing something right in front of me or what.


Umm you could have just ignored it?

I asked because you seemed to bring it up as a reason for why people should not like MLP or something along those lines (that's how I interpreted it, correct me if I'm wrong), but then didn't want to state the specifics. Which to me is basically like saying "this is bad but I won't say why" and I really dislike it when people do that. Also I'm not sure how you want me to find out if you barely gave any info to start from.

I'll drop it though for the sake of the thread.

But.. I did say why on the sake of reason. You weren't paying attention to the rest of what I was saying.

I like Touhou and I'd probably like MLP too. I also think it's impressive that the fans have done a lot of cool stuff with it

My only beef with MLP (that isn't even directly related to the show itself) is with bronies since usually they're unsettling older men that try and turn mlp into some sort of "MEN CAN LIKE PINK TOO!!! I CAN WATCH THIS SHOW WITHOUT RISKING MY MASCULINITY!! the famous "im not gay!!! just cus i like ponies DOES NOT mean im gay!! gross!!""-esque sorta thing. they also butcher the show with stuff like gross porn (like ok sure there's gross porn of everything but with bronies it's gotten to the point where kids may end up finding even if its just a simple google search of a character).

Actually to me I  acknowledge rule 34 to exist but I still hate it. I don't know about everyone else. I still think you shouldn't call yourself a brony if you just like the show.

Touhou is also hate-able but people can be more attracted to lolis than ponies. Just general acceptance. Think about it, Touhou has the same level of obnoxiousness that MLP has.

Did i look like I wanted to share? I wouldn't say such for no reason Kap
Then don't bring it up? I'm not sure why you would mention it in such a way and then withhold the specifics.

Why would that be the only thing you focus on? If you are so curious find out for yourself. :ugeek:

seeing your avatar and that rather rude post is actually pretty funny

Your definition of rude sure is... vast. Really why would you ask a person to share what they clearly said they won't share?

Uh, last I checked, February was filled with love and pink hearts and valentines and shyness. I vaguely remember Black History (No offense to everyone, I really mean that. I just haven't paid attention to it since I'm in my room most of the time, so I never hear about it.), but I don't remember it being in February.

 yea wasn't that January for Black history?

Why exact people continue to hate on MLP I've watched an episode, and it's really not that bad. The voice acting grates after a while, but I found it kinda adorable, and I plan on watching the rest of it. I won't follow i fanatically and plaster it all over my room, but it's enjoyable.

Are people really that angry at something so...harmless?


mostly because MLP is one of the worse rabbid  fanbases now. First of all, MLP is for little girls, now I know what you are thinking "BUT WHATS WRONG WITH THAT?" one thing is wrong with that but i won't touch on it. You will not bevlieve how many people think "famlies" apply to "single men". You wanna like the show without being a mindless fan? Never call yourself a brony.

@Finitezero IMO when you had just the derpy avatar I was gonna bear it... Then you went for shipping. I dunno, you should probably know when you are walking into a lions den with that stuff. In fact i thought getting people to hate you because of that WAS the reason you had those avatars.
