I'm mostly just a fan of the characters and the character designs, I don't think I've seen an episode of the show or consumed any official media in over 10 years. Do I still count as a fan or no?

>>42356378 (OP)
No

>>42356378 (OP)
The bare minimum is liking the characters, I'd say. Whether you consider yourself a fan or not is completely up to you

>>42356378 (OP)
>the show
Had been shit for longer than it was good. You're fine.

>>42356381
kinda 50/50 really. I like the character designs and the characters themselves, and the community is quite fun, but the show never really caught on for me too much

>>42356378 (OP)
No. You're the reason communities get bloated with tiresome idiots and faggots who ruins it for real fans.

>>42356499
I mean yeah but honestly I don't really talk to other bronies all too often, mostly just spend my time in furry circles.

>>42356378 (OP)
Kill yourself faggot

>>42356789
>I just want to goon and be a faggot alongside other faggots using the character of a show I don't give a shot about and bloat the fandom with tiresome trash.
That's exactly what I was talking about.

That's exactly what I was talking about.

>>42356830
I'm sorry what?
when did you come to the conclusion that it's all hornyposting? cause news flash dipshit I dislike the horny shit as much as you do.

>>42356845
If you're not interested in the show then what you do all day with the characters you like other than spreading your fetishes?

>>42356856
simple; fan art and fan creations. when I said " I don't think I've seen an episode of the show or consumed any official media in over 10 years" that didn't mean any sfw fan-stuff was off-the-table.
..granted, the stuff I watch is the same stuff from when I was a young'in, but still.

>>42356378 (OP)
1/10th of a fan. As in, at least put in some work to watch something or it'll be
>I love [pony]
>what's your favorite [pony] episode?
>oh I don't watch the show
I guess you can discuss character traits, but without getting into the show or even the comics, you kind of have a tertiary view of pony personality.

On a scale of 0-10, 0 being non-fan and 11 being super-autist, you'd be like a 1 or 2.

>>42357202
You know, I really like fan art, but especially i really like fanart that are akin to the show story, situations and perhaps characters actual characterization.
It's way more engaging and interesting and also helps others understand and discover what the show is about and maybe bring more people into watching the show themselves as well.
This is why being an actual fan of the show is way better and even necessary imo than just liking the character design in surface level.
The best contents from fans comes from actual passionate fans and not people like you.

>>42356378 (OP)
I've actually been thinking about this a lot. Especially in terms of horsefuckers from /mlp/. There isn't a definition for what makes you a brony/horsefucker, but I'd say you should have at least watched and enjoyed the show to consider yourself one.

>>42357278
yeah. there is also a surprising amount of cloppers who haven't seen a single episode
i personally didn't even know they were sexualised until months into watching and then thought for some time it was a furry thing

>>42357217
>>42357226
y'know what fair. I did watch it when I was younger but I do agree I should probably interact with it again EVENTUALLY. even if it's just a "seeing how it was back then" vibe.

>>42357266
>The best contents from fans comes from actual passionate fans and not people like you.
why else do I just consume it and not make it? I ain't got any real clue since most of my information is kinda old .-.

nope

>>42356378 (OP)
>I'm back after leaving
>I just jack off the the porn
>I don't watch the show but still come here
Blah. Blah. Blah.

>>42359070
>>I just jack off the the porn
I don't understand how anyone can say this and not be a huge furfag.

Ponies never appealed to me sexually until I watched the show and after years of exposure to pony porn finally broke and gave in (as everyone eventually will - there's just too much pony porn, there's always going to be something that tickles your interest and once you give in you start to realize how silly it is to withhold yourself this enjoyment just for appeasing a society that's never going to know what you fap to anyway).

>>42356378 (OP)
No, you count as a larping piece of shit faggot

>>42359070
see; >>42356845, >>42357202

>>42356378 (OP)
You're basically the average female "fan". "Oh I like the rainbow one."

>>42359517
The ones who have fluttershy as their pfp but if they see a man that likes the show they call them pedophiles

>>42359483
I don't consider myself a furfag, but I was jerking off to ponies along with anthros long before I ever watched the show. Watching the show did make me jerk off to ponies more often though. I think most people would call me a furry but I think the furry label should really only apply to people who participate in the furry fandom. I wouldn't consider someone who jerks off to ponies to be a brony.

>>42359557
Well perhaps. You're definitely somewhat furry-ish, because I personally never fapped to anthro before ponies, and still only fap to it when it's actually of ponies. I agree the worst offense of a furfag is really participating in that cancerous community though, so if you don't do that you're alright.

>>42359554
does that actually happen?

>>42359517
>>42359554
This is why I hate women and believe they shouldn't have rights.

>>42359591
I feel the same, but that is far from the only reason.

>>42359517
yeah, sounds about right honestly.
I did used to watch the show, but the only thing I remember was really liking fluttershy and luna, and those are still my favourite characters.

>>42359582
obviously, they're females

I *kind* of relate to this. I was big into pony from seasons 1-4, fell off the ride, jumped back on when the show ended and watched seasons 5 + 6, however I haven't gone any further and don't feel the need to. i really do just like the community, fanart, etc. ponies are cute. sogreatandpowerful is awesome.

>>42356378 (OP)
>I don't think I've seen an episode of the show or consumed any official media in over 10 years
oh boy you should join the anni stream and join us for the ride.

>>42356381
But liking the characters would require knowing them. How can he without watching the show? Probably from their depictions in the fan content. That makes him fan of the fandom.

>>42359956
for me it's from my childhood, really.

>>42356378 (OP)
At least watch season 1, you don't have to watch the rest because it's all soulless hasbro slop

>>42359940
anni stream’s in October right?
/mlp/con was fun as hell for being a first timer, I still need to download that astral projection panel video and practice mareitation for Celestia.
If the astral panel anon is here, I got a question
>I’m doing the WBTB lucid dreaming method
>stay awake for a hour, watch poni to pass the time
>go back to bed, try to stay conscious and fall asleep
>can definitely feel my body trying to fall asleep, but I never fully transition into sleep, I’m too awake somehow, I keep trying and staying still but nothing happens for what felt like a while, eventually I fall asleep and don’t have any dream from what I recall

necroing this thread because I actually wanna ask now; I remember watching season 1 and season 2, but apparently the show kinda goes downhill past 4 & 5. so what would you guys say is "worth watching" per-se?

>>42360863
Don't actually watch the show and fuck off back to wherever you came from

I fapped on and off to ponies for many years and only finally started watching in January. I have so much regret because this series become my favorite thing ever

>>42360870
so.... reddit? bluesky? idk, y'all are mean for no fuckin reason. I don't really think there's a single positive board.

>>42360863
the show gets better after season 5 due to starlight and trixie

>>42360878
>ya'll
>reddit
>bluesky
Yep. Go the fuck back and maybe kill yourself too.

>>42360886
me? kill myself? life's too short for that, gotta live with my life burning brightly.
also, "go back?" god I wish, but something about this site keeps draggin' me back.

>>42360886
is saying yall bad

The board is nothing but HiE, AiE, EQG, and shitty generals wearing ponies like a skin.
