because it's "cool" for people to hate mlp on 4chan
just like it's cool for them to hate /reddit/
or hate "gaymergrills"
or anything else you can think of
give it a year or two, when the next cool thing comes along, people will care less about rule 15

>Sure the site might explode with ponies at first
They don't want to deal that, and the situation is fairly stable at the moment so they have no reason to do it. I think they're waiting for either the hate or the fandom to die down before they repeal it.

Well, for one, threads outside of /vp/ relating to Pokemon are few and far between. You see hentai threads relating to the appropriate boards (/b/, /h/), but that's about it.

/mlp/ is a different story. The reason global 15 exists is because bronies are all fucking insane. The only reason /mlp/ was established was because the flooding across all boards with My Little Pony bullshit was becoming too excessive and constant. If there was ever such a thing as a containment board, that would be it. You can play out your sick pony fantasies there, but the minute you start crossing that boundary and posting ponies outside of its assigned board, you deserve you be banned.

Again, Pokemon ≠ MLP. Though /vp/oreons are all obtuse faggots, they can pretty much control themselves and their posting on the board they had been given. Bronies, even with Global 15 in place, still try posting MLP outside of its assigned board. It would not die down.

>>567043
>Bronies, even with Global 15 in place, still try posting MLP outside of its assigned board.
Could you give some examples?

>>567050
You haven't been on /b/ in the last few years then? Open up the catalog page and you're almost guaranteed to see a few pony threads going (until the mods see them).

With Global 15 removed \b\ for one would become seriously less "random".

>>567050
At this moment? No, I'm not going to go out of my way searching for pony related content.

What I am referring to is anecdotal and personal experiences after the establishment of /mlp/ and Global 15. I have seen, and continue to see pony image macros and discussion every once in a while on the boards I frequent [/ic/,/i/,/vp/,/b/]. The prevalence in pony related material has been especially true in the latter, last time I bothered going there.

If Global 15 were dropped, it would be exploited. And, for all intents and purposes, it would continue to do be a problem for an unspecified period of time afterwards.

>>567056
The one's on /b/ are pretty much hopeless and the best you can do is try to ignore them if you can. Even the /mlp/ crowd hate them with a passion.

>>567058
/b/ makes sense, don't agree with it's presence there, but them being in those other boards is surprising.
How often do they crop up and are they being used in a way that intentionally tries to derail the thread?

I don't see why the current situation requires changing, OP. /co/ has enough problems as it is.
Precure always related.

>>567063
No one said remove /mlp/, /mlp/ is just as fast as /co/ meaning enough people on this site like mlp as much as all the capeshit, autism time and random show combined.

>>567061
It's not like /b/ where it occurs so often, but it happens. Usually image macros, screenshots, and other pony work are posted, and the shit storm takes off from there. The only reason it's as muted as it is across all boards at the moment is because of Global 15. If bronies had free reign to post MLP content on any board without facing persecution and a ban, they would devastate 4chan.

>>567097
>The only reason it's as muted as it is across all boards at the moment is because of Global 15.
The ponies on /s4s/ have almost completly died down. People got bored of posting them fast. And I'd say the only reason people flip out over pony related things is because of global rule 15, if it wasn't there to protect them or give them a pat on the back for derailing threads they wouldn't be as inclined to do it.

>If bronies had free reign to post MLP content on any board without facing persecution and a ban, they would devastate 4chan.
They wouldn't have free reign, they'd be as restricted as everyone else. Global rules 3, 10 and 13 would still apply

>>567097
I'm not so sure the ones on /mlp/ would spill out and suddenly shitpost across the other boards, there's a stigma around posting pony on any other board there, but it would surely be used as an easy trolling tool by everyone else. Like you said, it triggers a shitstorm every time one is posted. You don't have to like the show to download a folder of pony images and abuse them.
Rule 15 is in place, and should stay in place in my opinion, because the users of 4chan can't really handle seeing ponies without throwing a fit over them.

>>567104
>And I'd say the only reason people flip out over pony related things is because of global rule 15,

I wish all other rules were as enforced by the 4chan members. It's undoubtly the most followed rule. Just seeing how people react when it's broken.


Give it time; people, maybe one day people will be tired and we will be allowed to post bright colored ponies.

Honestly, either a year or a half from now, or never. The show's already losing that edge of people obsessed with it, and it may well end up as reaction image territory some time in the future.

On the other hand, 4chan could easily be bitter about this for years to come. I mean, some people are over the furry drama now, but that took a good eight years to happen. It may well just keep fueling its own idiocy.

>>567112
I don't want to post bright colored ponies, what I want is to be able to discuss different VA's, icon packs and skins without having to change my wallpaper before each screenshot so I don't offend people and end up getting banned for it, I want to make a comparative analysis of different shows I watch, I would like discuss Cartoon characters and voice actors without walking on egg shells, I would like to ask for help on an image I'm working on without having to cut the thing in half then splice it back together later over some stupid fucking rule regarding cartoon horse images.

Stop asking for privileges you brony scum. No one likes you. And you know damn well you don't act like people who post pokemon outside of /vp/. Moot made /s4s/ and the first thing that happened was a ponyfag invasion.

Tried that already, threads were nothing but pony spam if someone said something a ponyfucker happened to dislike/disagree with.
You guys are fucking nuts.

You ponyfuckers are almost as bad as furfags. You're lucky you have your own board at all.

>>567035

This 100%

It's among the easiest way for someone to "fit in"

>>566491 (OP)
>When will we stop protecting the overly offended neckbeards who hate mlp with a passion?
Never. That rule is euro-tier nanny state "Don't upset the minorities" mentality. The only, and I mean the ONLY thing it did was give people a green light to shitpost when someone posts a fucking pastel-colored equine.

>>567116
Then, the user have to be blamed, not the rules itself.

You can discuss about the different VA's though. The MLP VA's already dubbed lots of other cartoons.

Why not let each board give its own interpretation of gr15?
Could apply to anything, and say for the "tolerant" boards like /k/, /r9k/,or /an/ could "unban" ponyshit from there boards

>>567185
That's a good idea. Most boards don't really give a shit about it. /b/ and /v/ are just special cases.

>>567190
In that case it should really only apply to the boards that can't handle it and need a rule explicitly preventing it from being posted there. Otherwise it would just invite the pony shitposters to go on a campaign against the specific ones that allowed it.

>>567193
Shitposters don't need mods approval to start posting their pics.

>>567194
>shitpost

This meme has killed 4chan dead.

>>567194
But you have to admit that saying it's allowed on a specific set of boards would put them in the crosshairs. Then again it all would depend on how they handled it. If they payed it no mind then it could work.

>>567185
The only problem with this is the shitposting crowd from /b/. As soon as they see a pony image in the catalog or whatever, it acts like a beacon and they start shitting all over whatever board it's on.

If it wasn't for that lot, global rule #15 wouldn't even need to exist any more. As usual, a few idiots have spoiled it for the legit fans.

>>567198
>But you have to admit that saying it's allowed on a specific set of boards would put them in the crosshairs

Yes, but how much time will they stay here ? They just stay for hours last time they came bac on /mlp/.

>>567200
/tg/ was once able to have a pony thread by dropping a decoy to attract all the shitposters and then had a civil discussion on the setting. Good times.

>>567205
Depends on how much attention they get, but as I said it depends on how the boards react. If they don't feed them attention then it won't be too bad, but otherwise they'll keep coming back for more.

>>566491 (OP)
Pokemon is actually good. Obviously I'm talking about main games, trading card games and manga.

>>567220
To be fair MLP is better.

>>567225
You can't exactly compare the two. Pokemon is about adventure, and MLP is slice of life about solving issues with diplomacy and teamwork.

Or causing small wars by singing terrible songs.

>>567230
Slice of life > Adventure

No one gives a fuck about the show. People hate you faggots. The people that watch it. Rule 15 is just to show that you're quarantined since every one hates you.

stop trying to revoke rule 15, only shitposters want it removed, no reason to post cartoon horses outside the assigned board.

4chan was never meant to be for anyone and every little niche. Furries are banned outside of /b/, lolies are banned outside of /b/ and ponies are banned outside of /mlp/. It's been working like that forever and if you don't like it there are other places on the internet that suit you.

>>567242
I only see shitposters INVOKE it. It's followed as zealously as christians invoke "Don't bugger men" from the bible, ignoring the rest of the old testament.

>>567247
This, I like ponies but there is no need for the, t be posted on other boards
I could argue that people should be allowed to ask for art critique on /ic/ Fandom cosplays on /cgl/ etc but allowing pony reactions is just gonna end badly. shitposters will post them and more shitposters will get mad at them and trapped in the middle will be people who don't care and just wanna talk about board topic, regardless of pony

There are already enough places on the internet to shit up with your pony-fucking retardation. You got your OWN FUCKING BOARD on 4chan, something that no other show or game in the world can claim, and yet you entitled cunts still feel that you deserve more?

fucking gas yourselves and save us the trouble. this is why people hate bronies; not because the show itself is all that terrible - it's mediocre at worst - but because idiots like you pollute the internet with your sperging and MAKE people hate it when they wouldn't have given a fuck either way originally.

>>567257

irrational rage like yours is way more disturbing than mlp fans.

and here's a tip: the third season is not living up to expectations, so if people like you could calm down, the issue will probably die out on its own.

It's because of people like you that we get a 4chan board for one single show. We never asked for this.

> but because idiots like you pollute the internet with your sperging

Who is sperging here about a question ? There is no need to be upset because of that.

>>567262
>just yesterday I saw one spamming /q/ with pony pic spam

The /b/read has no relations with the /mlp/ crowd. It's so easy to download pics to piss off people.

When the mods/janitors are regularly 404ing the threads on /b/ (and they have been recently) the pony shitposters are almost non existant. That particular community seems pretty much dead.

Once that lot are gotten rid of, I can't really see the occasional pony reaction pic doing much harm.

I hasten to add that I have no interest in MLP but I've taken the time to get to know a few 'bronies' online when the whole thing kicked off a few years ago and the vast majority of them are fine.

Like I said earlier, a few bad apples have fucked it up for the whole fandom, especially on 4chan.

I understand that you're eager to shitpost ponies everywhere, but that's not gonna happen.

>>567265
>Like I said earlier, a few bad apples have fucked it up for the whole fandom, especially on 4chan.
Sad isn't it? It's not like they care that we're following the rules in /mlp/. All they can see are the few /b/read shitposters outside and we're lumped in with the rest of them.

It's like this: Some boards are kinda stupid and people will ALWAYS respond to ponies, if only to get fanny fractured about it. It was the easiest thing in the world to troll with and no one ever learned over the course of several years. So it had to be banned. Not so much because it itself was the issue, but because if there wasn't any kind of intervention this would just go on and on.

Basically

>Ponies = kinder eggs
>/v/ and /b/ = stupid kids that kept chocking on them

But if you ever try to point this out or explain it, you'll inevitably get responses like >>567279
and >>567257
and everything here >>567245

Because obviously THESE are the mature posters who don't shit up boards or fed the problem for two years.

>>567284
>It's not like they care that we're following the rules in /mlp/.

They also didn't care the same situation was on /co/, thus /mlp/ happened.

No, I remember when the MLP fad started, and ponies were literally everywhere, roleplaying on /b/, posting furry porn, spamming reaction images in threads they didn't like, etc. It was fucking terrible. The current system works and doesn't need changing. If I wanted to make a Pokemon thread, i'd go to /vp/, if I wanted to have start a furry thread I'd go to /b/ (not that I would want to do that) and if anyone would want to post about ponies it should obviously be on /mlp/.

I do agree that it's a bit stupid to have to change your wallpaper or whatever in those post your desktop threads though.

>>567302
I read the pic and died a little inside. I will never get that part of me back. My head ... my head is full of fuck.

I've tried to turn a blind eye and just disregard this thing so that I could at least remain objective. I think that pic, the message within it, has stripped me of a chunk of objectivity that I'm not sure will ever return.

My god ...

>>567306
This is the type of stuff /mlp/ makes a sport of laughing at and ridiculing. As much as the rest of 4chan would like to think that's the way we act, doing something like that would get you crucified there.

>>567302
But that's the thing, there's a LOT of cross board stuff. Anime reaction images are very common across all boards and people get almost as mad at them. Ponies is just a different flavor of the same thing that's always happened, but it was unfair that it out of all things was singled out and segregated from everything else. It cements it's status as a shit posting subject forever when it would have been just another passing fad.

And its only allowed on a singular board, an entire board devoted to a single cartoon that doesnt have enough content to have a board so its mostly garbage filler, image dumps and pointless generals. It does far more bad then good then to people who actually want to talk about the show and stuff, because its created this shit posting ghetto of a board. /mlp/ and rule 15 are in direct conflict with rule 6, but you dont care because the problem has been swept under the rug for you, so as far as you concerned its working.

The worst thing though its that moot took sides on this by catering to the worst, lowest common denominator, newfags and shit posters on /v/ and /b/

>>567136
This is so not true

>>567311
If it's just reaction images, why not just use a non pony one? Does it really have to be a pony reaction image? Does r15 need lifting just so people can post pony reaction images instead of the many other options, when everyone knows full well it will just start a shitstorm?

Like I previously said, the current system is working fine, just use non pony reaction images to avoid any possible problems and discuss ponies on their designated board.

I really don't see the problem.

>>567315
But with that reasoning you can just ban and forbidden any kind of reaction image if people shit post enough. It's unfairly targeting one subject for no other reason then to keep stupid from shitting their pants over it and then say oh its fine theres still other stuff you can use.

I'm not saying change the current system. Its been too long to go back now and honestly it would just be more trouble then its worth. I just want to point out how completely unfair the whole situation is and has been from the start.

>>567284
Yeah, I agree with you but as long as there's that group on /b/ you're pretty much stuck in /mlp/.

The occasional pony pic gets posted on /an/, generally because a lot of new users don't know the rules and as long as it's a legit thread the pic tends not to cause any problems.

We do get the occasional pony shitposter but they're mostly ignored.

>>567318
>I agree with you but as long as there's that group on /b/ you're pretty much stuck in /mlp/.

4chan should be dictated by a small group of /b/ shit posters.

>>567316
>I just want to point out how completely unfair the whole situation is and has been from the start.

Thats great because it has never been done before. Not in one of the past 19596 threads about the same subject on /q/. *slow clap*

>>567318
>We do get the occasional pony shitposter but they're mostly ignored.
If only the rest of the site was as smart as /an/ users

>>567316
Yes but most other reaction images haven't come from something which has caused such a huge impact on this site. And as much as it shouldn't be the case, ponies do generally either attract shitposters or cause general upset when they're posted.

I'm not saying it's fair, but it does help the problem.

>>567320
Sorry, I mean shouldn't

The people causing the problems should not be the ones being catered to on this site.

>>567321
And I would stop bringing it up if it we're for people shit posting in this thread with giant hate boners, trying to spin their own version of history where they were in the right by fighting the pony menace as legion instead of derailing threads because they don't know when they getting trolled because its wearing a pony mask. They came out on top over this whole ordeal, so they act like they won something and were rewarded.

And seeing /mlp/ on any given day, they kinda did.

>>567325
But where does it end?

With a few coordinated friends and dynamic IPs, the same thing could happen again with anything. This whole situation should be a lesson on how NOT to handle a situation, not the go to plan.

>>567323
Unfortunately, like a lot of small boards, we've been getting hit by a load of obviously underage kids from /b/ or facebook or whatever but the core users are pretty mature.

Anyway, I think all anyone can do is report the shitposters whenever you see them. As I said earlier in the thread, the /b/read community seems to be on life support at the moment and maybe you legit fans might get treated a bit more leniently by the 4chan 'hivemind' in the future.

>>567329
>trying to spin their own version of history where they were in the right by fighting the pony menace as legion instead of derailing threads because they don't know when they getting trolled because its wearing a pony mask


Why do you think they're convincing anyone? Only a fool cannot see that /b/read crowd causes problems *enter statement that has been said 1000 times here* and there is no helping them or convincing the hate filled fools otherwise.

>>567340
Because not calling these same people out for acting stupid and letting them carry on is exactly what cause this problem in the first place.

>>567343
Yea because there is not even a bigger possibility of it backfiring severely and causing counter desired effect.We're talking about people whos entire 4chan experience derives from /b/ and /v/ to the point where they think all 4chan should be /b/ and /v/. They cannot be helped, i wouldn't bother with that,

>>567348
I understand that. But /mlp/ and rule 15 only exist because THEY made a mountain out of a molehill. They're still free to shit post and be just as off topic as they have been, while the ponyfags that had always been following the rules now have to deal with tulpa shit, fluffy pony, contentless image dumps and other unproductive shit on an board that was unwanted and unhelpful. They got retarded and pongfags got punished. Ever trying to bring it up just invites trolling and always falls on deaf ears from the mods.

This is complete horseshit.

>>567343
Coming in here and being all
>HURR PERSECUTION
Doesn't really set us all in the best light does it

>>567365
What else can I do but bitch on /q/ about an unfair situation?

Spamming and trolling with ponies is already covered under the existing rules. Anything else is fucking retarded to get worked up over.
For christ's sake it's a cartoon for three year old girls, people shouldn't react like this to it.

People who want to get rid of rule 15 are just like people who want to get rid of captcha. They're too new or too stupid to remember why they were implemented and what kind of shape the whole site was in immediately leading up to it.

You're right, in a perfect world, neither should exist. But that obviously is not the case.

There's really no reason MLP shouldn't be just one of dozens of other cartoons no one outside /co/ cares about. But the horsefuckers did this to themselves. The reason Pokemon and other images are for the most part tolerated on other boards is because those people didn't behave like the horsefuckers did and shit up the entire site. (Seriously, it was like a failed attempt at a forced meme gone terribly awry.)

never because people don't enjoy ponyfags shitting up threads.

Ask yourself this, in a discussion, when is there any reason at all to post about MLP or use MLP images when the discussion has nothing to do with MLP? Never. Yes some people do it with anime, that isn't fine either but you know what, 4chan was made to be an english 2chan. Hell, if you don't have ads blocked, look at them, look at the banner. You are on a weaboo site. I'm not saying it's alright but it's part of the culture. Personally I'd rather people not use anime images where they do not belong (ie boards such as /ck/)

Avatarfagging is against tue rules and reaction images are for /b/tards.

This is about board quality, the same reason many boards don't allow NSFW images, they don't have a place in many boards. If you want your own MLP based imageboard, go to ponychan or whatever it's called.

Just be thankful moot lets you guys even post mlp on 4chan at all. Things could be a lot worse for you guys.

>But the horsefuckers did this to themselves
Thats the thing, they didn't. When pony first kicked off on 4chan, people used the reactions like they would normally. because it was bright colourful ponies, people got mad at that shit. After people started getting pissy at it, the /co/ general imposed its own set of rules, as in, not rules set forward by moot or mods, to try and keep all pony stuff in the general, we hated when people spammed pony everywhere too. and amazingly those people comprised of the /b/read and shitposters. Unfortunately because 4chan has the collective IQ of a brain damaged child, we got lumped in with them as well, which has been the case ever since
>>567496

Let me make one thing clear to you goddamned pony fuckers.

Your presence on 4chan is a fucking privilige, the only reason that moot gave you faggots your own board is to stop the relentless shit spamming.

You people are pathetic, you have a cult over a television show meant for little girls, you are a disgace and you have no right to call yourselves "men".

You are nothing but societal shitstain.

I personally would like to see every one of you faggots perma-banned, your faggotry should never be tolerated.

Pic related, this is how pathetic horsefuckers are

You blew your chance when the show first started airing, maybe if you bronies weren't so zealous about this shit people wouldn't hate you so much.
You dug your grave, go lay in it.

>>567613
Sounds like the entire point of this shitty thread horsefucker. Now take my advice and get out.

Liking My Little Pony is a mental disease. Bronies ARE NOT CAPABLE of posting any other pictures beside pony pictures. If you wanna see how bad 4chan would be without this rule, look at KYM. Everything, no matter how unrelated to ponies, has many pony renditions.

But the point of this site is to discuss things, it was never meant to be a /b/ culture circle-jerk no matter how many boards you fucked up with it. How in the fuck are people supposed to discuss shows when you keep banning them because they go against the ethos of /b/? least of all the only good show to come from the west since the early 90's, you leave us with what? Adventure Time? Regular show? more fucking cape shit?

Ponies are probably one of the biggest problems 4chan has ever had. It was supposed to be a fucking joke at first, but then people who mistook just casually liking the show for really loving it spilled in and projectile vomited spaghetti all over 4chan.

The subject itself doesn't matter; these people could have gotten obsessed with anything from the color of their socks to breakfast cereals, it's how they treated the subject that is so fucking offensive. Similar to how dubs just pop up unwanted in threads and hijack them, ponies did the same thing. In 2007 Touhou often did the same thing on /a/, being a very disruptive presence overall... and right off the bat in 2008, /jp/ was made to shunt Touhou over to.

It's just the way things are dealt with; if there are topics consistently derailing entire boards then they tend to get removed.

>>567640

Fuck off with /s4s/ you fucking retard. Its purpose was to siphon off shit posting from other boards, i.e for faggots to stop posting dubs threads in /sp/ or /fit/

You ignore the evidence that pony fuckers spammed the boards independently, and steps had to be taken to control the problem

MLP is better than the other crappy western shows spewn out nowadays

Bronies why do you bother? Just fuck off. Not a single board on 4chan wants you around.

Brony's are just a completely different beast than every single other fandom.

Post a picture of a pony and suddenly everyone goes fucking apeshit posting more and more, not funny reaction gifs, not hilarious screengrabs. Just... pictures of ponies.

Then theres the fact that no matter what's being discussed, somehow they'll try and incorporate mlp into the discussion no matter how irrelevant.

You people seem to be both the cause and solution of these problems you have, are you trying to give Anime the MLP treatment by acting like an obnoxious cunt with Anime Avatars I wonder? Do you have a folder for ponies and furries too?

>>567675
Rule 15 shouldn't prohibit you from discussing other cartoons, or anything else for that matter.

If you are that obsessed with ponies that you literally cannot talk about completely different shows or do completely different things without bringing them up, then that shows -not- how fucked up rule 15 is, but rather how fucked up you yourself are, for your utter and complete lack of self-control, and an inability to cope with the concept that actually most of 4chan does not at all give a shit about ponies (other than contempt for its fandom), and is completely fine with not talking about them at all.

>>567686
What part of
>discussion that envelops more cartoons than 1
did you fail to grasp? I can discuss all cartoons individually, but discussing cartoons in general or comparing different cartoons is an issue.

>>567681
You're thinking about this way too hard brony scum.

>>566491 (OP)

Friends, 4channers, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to explain Rule 15, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with MLP. The noble Bronies
Hath told you MLP is respectable:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Rule 15 answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Bronies and the rest -
For Bronies are honourable men;
So are they all, all honourable men -
Come I to speak in Rule 15's discussion.

I will present to you all the reason for Rule 15 and the segregation of MLP.

I ask that you clear your mind of all preconceptions and judgments until you hear me out, and keep this in mind: I have only ever watched 1 episode, and only half way through.

Back when MLP first became popular, I was a /co/mrade. People made fun of the threads for MLP like any other show intended for little girls that /co/mrades watched. It is true that it is, actually, a good show. Hasbro Studios put a lot of money into the productive value for MLP: FIM and put Lauren Faust in charge of its first season. Faust is a veteran in the industry and wanted to create a show for young girls which helped them form solid identities separate from the stereotypical princess narratives. People are different, meaning they all ought to be understood, cherished, and accepted for their strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect. Not only did she want to direct her own show, but she also wanted to provide good role models for children. On top of this, they got pretty good voice talent for the show and art direction. Is it animated in flash? Yes, but this is a debate that still goes on at /co/. Does it create hellspawns like Johnny Test? Yeah, but Flash also allows cartoons to be more cheaply produced than traditional animation and gives more people a chance.

This discussion on Flash is a digression, so let me return to MLP and Rule 15 (which will continue in the next post).

Yeah but furries aren't common enough anymore to be a real problem, they seem to have all fucked off or became bronys, and at least with weeaboos you at least have a bit of variety going on. Sure they swerve everything into a discussion about anime and japan but at least that's a broad subject. It's still annoying but at least you've got Anime A with kickass sword fights seeping into one thread, Anime B with horribly written creepy romances into another and anime C D E F G and H creeping into everything else.

Bronys are so remarkably specific yet broad in numbers that everything just becomes "PONIES! PONIES! PONIES!" non fucking stop, it's exhausting.

I heard a great thing about swearing a while back that applies in this situation. " "Fuck" is a perfectly acceptable word, but so is "Dragon" and nobody needs to use the word "Dragon" 200 times a day." I forget who said that, but he deliberately chose somebody never shutting up about a fictional animal as the paragon of ridiculous to construct his strawman. That's what bronys are. Walking literal strawmen.

>>567694
I don't think I am, if you don't like weeaboos why do you have so many weeaboo pictures? why are you spamming them and why are you complaining that they're being spammed?

>>567694
I've seen that exact picture about 13 times this year in /q/ alone.
you don't have many images do you, spammer.
> b-brony scum boo hoo ;_;
lovin' it.

>>567696
I don't know what you are on about.
people want to enjoy something, no saturation.
although your post did remind me of a real world brony, and their /v/ spammer replicas.

>>567695

My point above is that MLP is not trash. Some very significant talent went into its production; not only did Hasbro dump a shitload of money, but they hired veterans in the industry (Lauren Faust, Chris Savino, Charlotte Fullerton) on top of it. The art is actually very detailed and the animation, despite being in Flash, is solid. To me, it's not hard to understand why the show was appealing.

However, as time went on, the fandom got larger and, frankly, stranger. You will always have some weird fetishism on the Internet surrounding some fandom (Fairly Oddparents, Ben 10, Gravity Falls; fuck, even Rugrats and Hey Arnold ad infinitum). You will always have rabid fans. However, because the MLP fans were under so much criticism (considering the content of the show and its intended demographic), they became extremely defensive while the fanbase became larger (which, I assume, was partially due to its appeal to individuality and friendship as well as Bronies trying to justify their interest).

As this occurred, you began to get MLP fans and trolls CONSTANTLY going back and forth. Then you had large numbers of people, who had never even seen MLP, who were jumping into the fray to simply troll and cause mayhem.

On /co/ and /b/, there were times when the entire front page was just pony threads caused by trolls, counter-trolls, rabid fans, and so on. Fans just wanted a place to discuss the show, even if they were being weird (if any of you enter a general thread on /co/, you WILL inevitably run into weird feitsh shit), but the constant trolling and counter-trolling got completely out of hand.

It was decided that, to prevent the explosive topic from ever causing a problem again, /mlp/ ought to be created and all pony content relegated there. Bronies proved, time and time again (on both 4chan and other communities) that they could not be civil and trolls could not leave them alone.

So, we have /mlp/ and Rule 15.

To all the bronys who just want to have normal discussions about the show, fair play to you mad respect, but tough shit.

I'm sure if Michael Schumacher were allowed drive with no speed limit he'd be weaving in and out of traffic gracefully pulling slick power slides and whatnot. But we're not going to remove speed limits for the Michael's of the world, we're keeping them in place for the millions of dumbfucks who'd just crash into everything.

>>567712

> Bronies proved, time and time again (on both 4chan and other communities) that they could not be civil
stuck to one thread in /co/ after the initial shitdown.
annnd... that's it really. /v/ got trolled by people who hated ponies grabbing ponies off of /rs/ and spamming them, oh the irony.
it isn't a matter of not being civil, it's a matter of not being able to do anything about trolls.

>>567691
That's the thing, it actually isn't an issue here, because MLP is such an unusual niche out of the usual cartoons that interest the usual /co/ crowd, that you objectively have to go out of your way to lump it into a discussion, unless that discussion is something extremely, extremely generic such as "name recent popular cartoons", in which, chances are no one will give a shit unless you try to hijack the whole thread.

Power Puff Girls is the only other niche that naturally pulls some comparisons/discussions to MLP, however, that show is so rarely discussed on /co/ that it is practically irrelevant, not to mention a ridiculously niche excuse to yank rule 15.

What MLP is actually more similar to, is anime / little girl anime, yet bronies tend to be devoid of serious (as in past English dubs) knowledge of that for making comparisons, so, they don't make those connections. Not to mention, /a/ and its mods also fucking hate bronies out of instinct, so rules or not, that cross-pollination is not gonna happen in any real capacity and thus also not worth questioning rule 15 over.

>>567723
why not just limit it to 2 pony images a thread then.
prevents satuation and ciclejerking / trolling.
maybe even ban it from /a/ and /v/.
there, another problem solved.

>>567728
Please tell me you aren't being serious?

>>567718

No, they did not. Whether it was pony fans or solely trolls and counter-trolls, I personally witnessed days on end of multiple pony threads on the front page. What ended up happening is that you had entire threads of people who weren't fans and just posted away to be idiots and draw ire from the boards.

It's impossible to tell who's being serious or not, so they just created Rule 15 and /mlp/. I couldn't post it in my last post because of character limits, but Bronies were also really obnoxious and aggressive on gaming communities as well. GMOD, for example, suffered a serious drop in the quality of the community as new and old players would use any moment to play MLP sounds, talk about MLP, raucously argue with others about MLP, and generally be a nuisance.

>>567729
why not. it solves several problems.

>>567728
Why bother making a rule like "You CANNOT post pony images UNLESS less than two have already been posted, BUT on /a/ and /v/ never"? The current situation of "DON'T do it" works just fine.

>>567731
confimed for not knowing jack fucking shit.
/co/ stuck to one thread after the initial shit hit the fan, the MLP general. sometimes two threads were made, which were promptly deleted by the maker if occurred.
outside bronies have nothing and no connections to this topic, and are frowned upon here for their tendancy to be obnoxious shit covering autists that infect other things with pony.

>>567734
because one allows people to enjoy things while preventing saturation and trolling.
the other basically gives trolls and retards what they are after.
...you aren't one of those are you, because this rule requires little effort in changing.

>I personally witnessed days on end of multiple pony threads on the front page
I personally witnessed days on end of ANTI-pony threads on the front page. Once I saw six offtopic anti-pony threads on the front page of /v/. There were more anti-pony threads than vidya threads.
Now we know that both the pony spam and the complaints were being posted by the same group of organised shitposters. There is no reason for Rule 15 to exist anymore.

>>567743
No rule requires effort in changing. You just alter some text. The question is "would it help anything?"

The only thing I can possibly imagine being improved by this rule is the situation in which somebody wants to post a reaction image and only has pony images that fit. It can't be for discussion purpose, because your proposed amendment wouldn't change that. That is such an edge case and requires so little effort to work around that it's not really even worth discussing.

>>567731
>Whether it was pony fans or solely trolls and counter-trolls
It was mainly trolls. I don't think that someone who actual liked the show would making several threads bashing it. The ponyfags used thread markers to try keep to one thread but no one can control everyone in a fandom. Meanwhile 3-4 pony hate threads were being made that filled up faster than the damn MLPG. After the incident in Feb, the mods made the one thread at a time rule which stop both fans and the trolls from making multiple thread for or against ponies. That how it was for about a year before /mlp/ and rule 15 was made which was mainly because of /b/ and /v/ getting trolling so heavily with ponies.

>>567757

I'm not trying to put all the blame on the ponyfags. I accept that the shitposters fucked everything up. However, since most of 4chan has such a strong reaction to MLP at this point, a reversal of the rule would probably see a return of the shitposters.

>>567755
Yes, I know. These faggots are just trying to start board fights between /mlp/ and other boards (and they're unfortunately succeeding).

I don't know what the fuck their grudge against 4chan is but they seem to be linked to the /b/ furries.

>>567763
I have come to the conclusion that until moot can get a proper ban system, ponies are not going to be worth the effort and burden on the mods, as about 6 or so trolls and retards fly out of their dens with their asses on fire and tears on their eyes as they spam pony images 24/7 until it is broken again.
4chan doesn't want these spammers and trolls, but there is nothing they can do about it until they can stop them jumping the fence everytime they get banned and coming straight back to shit it up again.

It almost did, last time, when it first started. The horsefuckers thought it would epic funny to try to turn the whole site into one big pony shrine, and ruin it for everyone else who didn't want to join in on their epic may-may. That's why rule 15 was instituted in the first place.

There's no reason to post ponyshit outside of /mlp/ though, the rule was added to discourage the raging autist denizens from infecting every other board.

It wasn't always a rule you know, it was a reaction to people posting stupid ponyshit where it doesn't belong. As far as /vp/ not having its own global rule they've proven that they don't really need it because they keep their shit on the right board, not plaguing every board on the entire site for months like ponyfags.

Prove to me how anything pony related belongs anywhere outside of their designated board. This is like saying posting pictures of shit belongs anywhere just because you enjoy it.

>man, a lot of fucking stupid people today. I wish you weren't fucking stupid enough to validate the troll spammers.

I don't really care who is/was responsible for ponyshit everywhere, the rule is there because it needs to be and it seems to work well enough so I see absolutely no reason to change it, only a few autists (i.e: you) care about having the rule removed so that you can post stupid ponyshit everywhere for no valid reason.

yes, because most people are neutral unless it is a problem, which it has been turned into be retards and spammers.
prove to me how anything vidya related belongs outside of it's designated board.
> I don't really care who is/was responsible for ponyshit everywhere, the rule is there because it needs to be and it seems to work well enough so I see absolutely no reason to change it, only a few autists (i.e: you) care about having the rule removed so that you can post stupid ponyshit everywhere for no valid reason.
newsflash, autistic retard. tons of people enjoy ponies, and the posting of it does not immediately mean spamming it, if your puny autistic mind can comprehend that.
> there's no need to change the rule despite people wanting to and it prohibits people enjoying things
jesus christ, what an idiot.
autistic people cannot comprehend the feelings of others.
the more you know.

>>567959
actually autistic people can comprehend the feelings of others. but they dont themselves feel empathy.
>implying all bronies are autistic and all autistics are bronies

>>567939
And a rule was made against raids. To my knowledge, calling for raids is still against the rules.

And few forced memes make it out of their originating board. I've rarely seen RMS posted outside /g/. And while Aku no Potato threads were shitting up /a/ recently, I don't recall seeing them elsewhere on the site. It was the sheer magnitude of the MLP shitstorm that earned the horsefuckers the hatred. (And the fact that they were subsequently rewarded for their faggotry with their very own board probably doesn't help aleviate the bitterness, either.)

>>566491 (OP)
as much as I hate the entire ironic MLP culture I have to say I agree with your logic... I think basically you're just gonna have to accept that 4chan isn't for ponies because the people that matter seem to disagree with you.

Personally I'm glad that we force it all into /mlp/ right now even though I admit that it's not really fair

>>567960
meh. the bright colours would probably attract autistic people, but to say that everybody who watches the show is autistic would be completely stupid.

>>567965
> because the people that matter seem to disagree with you.
buuuuuz.
not many people disagree, it's just the matter that they will autisticly spam and troll. these people shit their pants over pony, and moot cannot ban them, they just ban avoid.

>>567929
>>567861
If I were to create a /ic/ thread requesting help on modeling or drawing, if that drawing or model referenced Ponies at all, My Little Pony could not be mentioned.

If I were to create a /co/ thread to discuss the use and misuse of Flash animation in Western media, My Little Pony, a critically acclaimed show that successfully uses it, could not be mentioned.

If I were to create a /co/ thread to discuss the HUB's steadily growing ratings, My Little Pony, its most popular original series, could not be mentioned.

If someone on /mu/ were to ask me what my favorite musical composition was, I could say it was Beethoven's 5th. I could say it was the theme for Meow Mix. I could say it was One Direction's latest hit. I could not say Art of the Dress.

I'm not saying /mlp/ should be deleted nor am I saying all discussion of it should be delegated to elsewhere. But if a thread or a comment has a topic that would require the discussion to mention ponies, shouldn't an exception be made?

Otherwise, all of these completely valid threads and comments are limited.

>>567969
I don't think /co/ is willing to touch anything pony related ever again and you should know this already if you were there during pony generals.

>>567968
yeah... i thought the whole thing started as an experiment in shitposting tbh. i even admit i posted ponies on /b/ for a little while but I guess I never really "got" it. I thought it was just a troll but apparently people really love this shit...

Makes sense though. If they're really gonna be so persistent about spamming it then you should have a place for it so it doesn't just drown out all the other stuff that makes 4chan fun.

Still isn't fair. But then again, who cares? I like it that way. Fuck ponies, lol.

I think rule #15 is very prone to backfiring.

Like >>567969 said, if it's a small comment that's relevant to the topic, nobody really cares. But every so often, there's someone who reacts:

>WTF PIC HAS BRONY T-SHIRT IN BACKGROUND. TAKE YOUR FAGGOT SHIT TO >>>/mlp/ LUL

So instead of pony shitposting, you get derail shitposting. Not that I'm against the rule, mind you; It is definitely necessary to have. But this shit becomes just as bad.

>>567969
Actually, MLP has been brought up quite frequently when flash animation is the topic, and sometimes in other places too. No pictures, of course, but my point is that I have seen civil discourse about it.

As it is right now there's pretty much no way /mlp/ or rule 15 can go away in my opinion.

This thread is proof enough that the few people from /b/read that shitpost across 4chan are the public face of ponies here and the ones on /mlp/ are lumped in with them as a consequence despite the fact that they follow the rules and keep to themselves. That rule has also demonized ponies to the point that even if it were repealed I doubt they would ever be treated like an average subject here. More times then not, someone somewhere is going to get their panties into a twist over them regardless of their context or relevance to the topic at hand.

>>567998
> you fail to realize nobody gives a shit. the whole "ponies R bad 4ever" thing doesn't work, because normal people here know about the bullshit that happened.
this only acts as an excuse for keeping ponies off and is so invalid.
the main threat are the spammers and retards that are actively agaist ponies.
get a better ban system, fix the trolls for good, that's the only realistic way.

I'm still interested in the appeal of the show. I watched the first episode and found it a bit boring, but whatever. Each to his/her own, I guess.

>>568033

Pretty much ever pony related thread on /q/ proves rule 15 and /mlp/ exist solely because of people shit posting and derailing everything just to attack something they don't like. over 90% of all the posts in it will be something along the lines of >>567929
>>567670
>>567669
>>567623
>>567619


This thread is by no means unique. Its happened before and it will happen again. Imagine if these people were correct and the only people who actually posted in these threads were just brony circkle jerks. The threads wouldn't get a quarter as big and die much faster. That's why rule 15 exists, because this idiotic need to fight some stupid internet war as legion against the autistic manchild shit becomes this self sustaining shit storm. This thread is proof of concept in action.

My problem with rule 15 is it doesnt address this problem, but merely hide a symptom just so these people will shut the fuck up. It's like getting mad that you keep stubbing your toe on furniture in your house and solving the problem by throwing out all the chairs instead of just looking where you are going.

>>568051
They had to restore order somehow when the situation was spinning out of control at the peak of the pony spam and this is how they chose to do it. One can only hope they learned from this and can pick a better way to deal with an occurrence like this in the future.

>>568053
I sure as shit hope so.

Rule 15 is incredibly unfair and /mlp/ is a shit hole because there's simply not enough to talk about to justify having a board. I wouldn't wish this sort of response on something I hated.

And Ironic because I remember back when /q/ first came to be I saw people petitioning for the exact same thing for other shit they don't like, like Gravity Falls and Littlest Pet Shop.

>>568058
>I saw people petitioning for the exact same thing for other shit they don't like, like Gravity Falls and Littlest Pet Shop.
Wasn't that just one dude samefagging across 4 or 5 threads?

MLP has a horrible fanbase that attracts cancer. Pokemon is completely harmless neckbeards who spend all day building their EV stats.

>>566491 (OP)
>When will this rule be removed? Pokemon have their own board yet they aren't banned outside of /vp/.

When was the last time Pokemon was used as an instrument for shitposting?

>>568061
Yeah probably, using the same images, but with the colors reversed and stuff. I'm just saying I'm glad he never gained any traction on that.

4chan needs another /mlp/ and rule 15 like it needs another /b/

I swear every time I visit /q/ you /mlp/ cunts are whining about something. Do you fail to realize that the entire purpose of creating /mlp/ was to remove pony content from other boards? Removing global rule 15 defeats the entire purpose. You have rule 15 AND /mlp/ or NEITHER.

End of line.

MLP is only used outside /mlp/ for shitposting. It doesn't belong anywhere else because it has no relevance to the subject of any other board. The only people who can't accept this are those who want to shitpost without any consequences.

>>568075
what about /co/

>>568079
MLP is way too big for /co/. It would drown everything else out.

>>568079
why not allow discussion of it on /co/ then, but keep /mlp/.

>>568094

Because no one on /co/ wants it.

What's so hard about staying in your designated board?

>>568094
Why would you want to break apart a board like that? All actual discussion of the show is in one convenient place. Like I said, the only people who want MLP outside of /mlp/ are shitposters.

>>568096
that right there is some godamn bullshit.
it was wanted enough to have a 24/7 general.
it is a cartoon enjoyed by people here, and it is godamned annoying when the mentioning of it triggers a retards autism.
why do you give a shit about it being in /co/?
>>568098
no, it is entertaining to compare and look at the things when universal threads come around such as easter eggs in cartoons.
> Like I said, the only people who want MLP outside of /mlp/ are shitposters.
fucking stupid. some people actually like the show you know.

>>568075
>cosplay
>porn
>vidya

It is related to others boards. Keep making assumptions, I'm sure it'll work.

>>568099
>it is a cartoon enjoyed by people here
It is a cartoon enjoyed by people who use /mlp/. If someone from /co/ wants to talk about MLP, it's literally one click away.
>why do you give a shit about it being in /co/
Because the only people in /co/ who want it already use /mlp/ for it.
>some people actually like the show you know
There's an entire board dedicated to its discussion. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.
>>568102
If MLP were allowed on those boards they would be flooded with ponies. It's just too large of a topic to put it on every board. Only shitposters want MLP outside /mlp/.

>>568111
you fail to realise that this isn't about moving the entire ponies. the current section makes it difficult to discuss a cartoon in /co/.
also, your reasons seem to be along the lines of "why not"? because it is awkward and annoying.
> Only shitposters want MLP outside /mlp/.
are you fucking stupid, I will now correct you. it makes related threads awkward, and people who enjoy things like to post it. you seem to think posting = spam. please stop that stupidity this instant.
also, that logic is flawed. the shitposters and trolls actually want to get MLP destroyed.

You horsefuckers are truly unbelievable, you know that? You've got your own board for fuck's sake! In case the signifigance of that is lost on you, just take a quck look through /q/. Half the threads on this board are people bitching about the lack of, or begging for the addition of one board or another. Heck, I could probably think of one or two I wouldn't mind having myself. But most of us will never see the addition of our desired niche boards.

You, on the other hand, have a board of your very own. And what's worse, you were given it as a direct result of you shitting up all the other ones. You acted like a bunch of asshats, and you were actually rewarded for it with your own board!

Persecution? Unfairness? Bullshit! You're the recipiants of favoritism and special treatment almost unheard of in the history of this site. And it's still not enough for you?

And to add further insult to injury, you have the nerve to blame it on the rest of us, as if it's our fault and there's something wrong with us for not welcoming your asinine behavior with open arms.

Why can't you special little snowflakes just fuck off to your own special little board and leave the rest of us in peace?

>>568117
> You, on the other hand, have a board of your very own. And what's worse, you were given it as a direct result of you shitting up all the other ones.

There is nothing preventing you from posting other things related to MLP in /mlp/. If you think a discussion on another board could be connected to MLP, repost it in /mlp/. If we wanted to talk about MLP, we'd go to the board specifically designated for it.

This is an arbitrary limit you are placing on yourself. Please read Rule 1 of /mlp/. If it's MLP-related, you can find a thread to put it in. Stop being lazy. Not every image needs its own thread.

Yeah, because that doesn't happen with weeaboos, furries, or any other internet subculture. Don't put MLP on a pedestal.
