    I'm sure that most of you are already aware, but John DeLancie had announced that he would be making a Brony Documentary to help ease the misconceptions and stereotypes the media and news has put onto us.

    The documentary now has its own official page, with an introduction video by DeLancie himself. To say the least, I'm extremely excited and looking forward to this documentary. Perhaps this will finally be the proper recognition we deserve.

    Thanks for the well thought out post. I appreciate it. Go troll some more on your other threads.

    wait a second. You posted this in response to me calling it a good thing. Now you call it bad.

    What logic are you using?

    I'm pretty sure that it'll be a good documentary that looks at bronies with an open mind. If it makes us look bad (which I'm sure it won't) then we can just ignore it, like we do with every other futile attempt to try and attack this fandom.

    Anyway, I am looking forward to this.

    Sorry to stop you when you're on a roll, but no-one gives a flying feather about anyone's "ignorance". If you want to complain, can you please take it somewhere else instead of derailing a perfectly innocent thread?

    If that is what you meant they I apologize, but with your other threads it seemed like you might have been trolling.

    I wonder how much of the general non-brony population will even watch it. Hmmm....still, it sounds interesting.

    I've actually been thinking about that. Considering the large fan following of DeLancie, especially with Star Trek fans, perhaps them seeing him starring in the brony documentary will spark their attention to watch it. And in turn, give people better insight on our fandom. (maybe even turning a few haters into bronies along the way). :smile:

    Although remember that people said they'd delete Steam when Gabe Newell announced his love for ponies. But those were just stubborn haters. I'm sure the Star Trek fandom will be more open minded.

    I actually never heard about that. That's very foolish that people would delete Steam over that... But what makes this different is that (I think) people from the Star Trek fandom know that John DeLancie played Discord and are aware of the conventions he attends (including brony conventions). Brony questions are often asked at Star Trek conventions too. Our fandoms actually intertwine quite often.

    a good trolling is good for the soul
    and brings fire to the posters.

    If the fire doesn't become blind rage. genius is born.

    but ya i've watched pretty much every single documentary on bronies out there. Now the purpose of this to to denounce the nay saying of bronies.

    I question the following(its in my nature ppl, I question/challenge the gods and inquisition is their bane. begin getting use to it)

    will this be a documentary or propaganda much like the nay saying?

    Honestly I don't care that much, regardless of how bronies get viewed by others I'm still going to enjoy everything about it.

    But I can see trolls and haters jumping on it trying to "break it down" and make it look wrong(if that makes any sense)

    If I happen to stumble onto it, I'll give it a watch.

    How about you all stop whining/griping/fighting and just reply to the OP?
    Thanks.

    If you have a problem with a user, report him and ignore him. He wins if you address him.

    I look forward to this documentary!

    This ought to be interesting. Sort of our version of "The People Vs. George Lucas" perhaps. Except that the message isn't so such "George Lucas, you changed my life!" but more "I'm having a blast! More people should come do this!". I'd definitely watch it.

    I hope Mr de Lancie has a ball of Pinkie-worthy proportions.

    This seems like it's going to be a theater-grade documentary, and even if it doesn't, it's going on Blu-Ray. This'll probably do what it's supposed to, and it should hopefully give the general public a more open, positive view of the fandom.

    I can't wait. It'll be nice to have someone as influential as him helping our image.

    It's actually along the lines of "any publicity is good publicity" and the meaning of that phrase doesn't even apply here.
