First of all, you don't get yelled at for "hating the show", you get yelled at for pointing out ridiculous flaws in otherwise good episodes. There's a big difference. Second, asking where America is on a poll about food, hating children or wanting a Disney World ride where they show the sweatshops they have are not brony related things. Third, I have yet to here someone on this forum say "love and tolerate".
Way to hop into an unrelated thread so you can use it as an excuse you complain about your problems. You realize that's not helping, not in any way at all? Also: everything the show teaches us? We're talking about a cartoon that was orinlginally designed for children. The morals are extremely simple, sometimes to the point of being easy to disagree with. Anyone with a sense of right and wrong that is more complicated than "GOOD GUYS WIN BAD GUYS LOSE BE NICE TO FRIENDS" probably can find space to agree and disagree with the moral messages of My Little Pony as they see fit. You know, half the time the things you get angry about on here are just our regular members jerking your chain. For them, it's all in good fun, and it's not entirely their fault that you only get angrier and angrier. As you grow more frustrated, the rest of us grow more confused. It's almost as if you don't speak a language that everyone else just sort of inherently gets, or as if you're willfully interpreting the comments of others in the most negative way possible. You start by putting yourself in difficult situations that you handle tactlessly, then finish by becoming progressively angrier until you explode at people in random situations in inappropriate ways. Who isn't following the morals of what show again? Let's face it, man, you need to cool down. Don't take everything so personally. In defense of honesty and accuracy, while I'm not disagreeing with your main point I would like to say that those words have been uttered on this site every so often in the time that I have been a member here. Not that it really matters, but just thought I'd contribute.
Did you ever consider, at any time, that the reason you feel chronically offended by us is not because we are horrible people, but because you are notoriously whiny? (Not that we are not horrible people, at least from time to time, but still...) And it's funny how the "love and tolerance" thing is constantly brought up by people who fail to exhibit these traits themselves. "Oh no! Some people dared to ever so slightly derail my 100% serious, no-nonsense, highly important and not at all random polls with a little banter. Oh woe is me! Curse you all, bronies!" Bla bla bla... Grow up already, will you?
It's a complicated issue like anything else in psychology, but you could probably generalize it down to two primary sources: fear of the unknown, and social pressure to "conform" and to be "valued/respected" members of society. People fear what they don't understand, and it's far easier (and safer) to hate and mock something you don't understand than it is to try to understand it. Additionally, people are under tremendous pressure to feel accepted: whether from themselves, their parents, their "friends," or anyone, really. Or any combination of them. This opens a wide, easy path of hating bronies or any other person who falls outside of what's considered normal in today's society. Hating bronies makes them feel safer and more confident about themselves and their sought-after favorable place in society.
It's probably because men liking girly stuff is wrong and "gay" and being gay is wrong in many peoples eyes. Society likes to be alot harder on men when it comes to "gender roles". Also it might not help with all the "clop" and etc . This does seem very bad in peoples eyes.
