My Little Pony Fans Discuss the Impending War on Syria (UPDATED with more politigab. imgtxt heavy)

Last edited Sat Aug 31, 2013, 06:47 PM - Edit history (2)

Either that, or Syrian hackers are desperately trying to get the word out to the brony community.

Source: ponychan.net (they seem mostly nice and friendly. not like those others.) (others? what others?) (dunno, I have no idea how I found this!)

*Cough*
Yeah, there are occasional real-life discussions on ponychan. I think It's been a long time since I visited.

You can't even cuss there, sorta. When I became a brony I was on vacation and the hotel we were staying with was in the Deep South and their office censored Youtube and Facebook, etc. for not being "family friendly" enough. DU didn't pass their content restrictions, either. Ponychan was one of the few sites I could access.

And that's how Equestria was made.

I'll go Google it because I don't know what a bronie is. Which is why I asked.

Back from Googling bronies. They seem like fine folks. I support Fandom as a multiverse of wonders, and I'm always surprised by the new fandoms a person finds.

No idea what it means. Probably BS, or ham radio enthusiast stuff.

You know what those ham radio fans are like.

I had no idea there were so many ponies in the world. And just about everypony seems so nice (I guess it's hard to go full-tilt in a flame war when Sparkle Dew is your avatar).

I especially liked the fact that "excessive saliva" is not allowed. I hate it when that happens.

Thank you for pointing it out.
