I knew this wouldn't go quietly. Although IMO Gawker sucks and the news is amateur, there are a lot of people who go there and read the crap. This obviously doesn't help the brony reputation. http://gawker.com/5871969/hasbro-crushes-dreams-of-grown-men-who-love-my-little-pony?tag=bronies
Well that's an article that paints us badly, even way before the PonyArchive topic. Honestly, The Pirate Bay. Like Hasbro can shut THAT down. That's why losing PonyArchive never bothered me. We can still rip them off YouTube or find a torrent. PonyArchive acted unnecessarily and unjustly. But this is old news now.
I agree, Ponyarchive was very unjust and their message was simply horrible. I wish they would just take it down.
I don't care about the PonyArchive, but I don't like the youtube episodes being taken down. Not that this would not be a problem either if not Itunes and Hubworld were region locked.
Yes, Hubworld and iTunes really need to be unlocked for all regions. And if Hubworld hosted all episodes on their site, that would be even better.
Ron Paul - who the hell? i must love i do love how is this was written XD its just full of awesome lines
It's a really bad article, but it's also not the first. Honestly, how can a news website be so late--unless they're being paid for a such a spiteful article?
Probably being paid. Everyone who posts articles there are complete amateurs who are biased trolls. They don't care about the opinions of anyone else's but their own. Hmmm... sounds like a lot of today's news.
Well you're always going to meet benign people who like to pull people down for their own pleasure. In such circumstances I just laugh at the other person for feeling the need to act in such a way.
Yea, the best thing is to just ignore them. You won't get anywhere yelling at them, that just fuels their fire. Unless you do this haha. Crush them with the truth!
Yeah, PonyArchieve did react immaturely. That much is true (as I see it). That doesn't give the author the right to label bronies as "serious perverts", "chronic virgins", and "cyberbullies." I don't care who you are, that's just not nice. According to her, we "fall somewhere between Ron Paul supporters and furries." On the other hand, we've always had haters like miss Katie Notopoulos (author of said sucky article) on our backs. She's just another in a long line of people who neithdon't accept bronies. There's nothing special about Notopoulos and the Gawker. Guys, all I have to say to our community is that we're better than that. We should take the opportunity to be "the better brony", as it were.
The amount of unprofessionalism..... granted, looking from the outside in to the brony community without background information (like most people) would think that we are weird, taking MLP experience from past generations, and not trying gen4. But a news writer should get the lowdown of everything about the subject. If they just came to check out some of these sites......
After reading the whole article. I can honestly say this is idiotic move on what Ponyachieve did to the Brony Community. I never Heard of this Site, so i don't know really what goes in this site before the shutdown and hearing about it on Equestria Daily. There is the no reason for these guys to pull such a childish stunt like that. It's enough that we get gawked at for the like of this show but this makes us look like heartless people.
I didn't even finish that article, after I finished the 4chan part I was done. Not everyone from 4chan is like that. Also calling all bronies virgin loser nerds. Ha, they don't deserve my time. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
