The day I give up emotion is the day I die. I used to want to get rid of emotions about 3 years ago, but I like feeling things. In the words of setzer. *clear throat* "Screw Male stereotypes".
That's why I love this community so much, I get to be emotionally free, without being assumed I'm gay. It could almost. (sob) make me CRY! (cries hysterically) In Happiness!
...I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I'm married to a Beautiful wife, and I have a kid on the way. So that makes me gay? Yeah, makes sense.
I like how a single, nondescript photo is supposed to be the basis of a fandom that likely exceeds a million followers.
well, I wanted to make special topic about it, but this topic seems like suitable topic to use this (in this post) as argument. just 2 days ago, I was talking with pixel about one show on Nova Tv called Provjereno (Researched). It usually has very good articles about various topics, and they always research both sides of story and if possible there is scientific research about it. anyway, yesterday, on the show, there was article about curiosity. Questioning why grown ups aren't curious as children. It all came down to fear and stress. Grown ups are mostly too afraid to come out of standard guidelines and standards so they don't look bad in society, even is society doesn't really care. Furthermore, they have researched grown up person brain and children brain, and found out that that childish curiosity and liking of nice things is in all of us, but children don't have that stress/fear hormone which grown ups have. But, in grown ups, if people are BRAVE enough, their curiosity side can overpower their fear side. I think that's what actually happened to all grown up bronies. They made test by putting pink-purple wardrobe on middle of street, and some grown up people were brave enough to stand out from crowd and look inside. They were people of various age , gender and looks. Also, statistics say that people who let their inter child free are usually more intelligent and happier in life. link on article: http://novatv.hr/clanak/provjereno/test-koliko-smo-znatizeljni.html (sry, but article is on Croatian)
for some reason i have never before been treated in such a manner and idk why maybe its because most of my friends and family have faith that ill stay myself and never change. which is surprising to me cause i live in one of those areas where people are really ignorant but it really makes me wonder why some people have to judge others on sexuality just because they enjoy a show that preaches peace and that makes me sad
I'm very much reminded of this this picture and timeless by your summary. In any case, I always find it odd how the individual acts much differently than society itself. If alone, I'm positive there would have been much more people willing to open up the cupboard. Yet, once people form the "collective" known as society, obviously that changes. I took psychology in high school about seven years ago but never got an answer to this question. People will often bash what they do behind closed doors to conform to the standards society has. From a very young age, I was prone to high levels of stress. I was getting migraines in fifth grade and for the longest time, my parents couldn't figure out why. This persisted through grade school as I was pretty self conscious until a few years ago. I can't pinpoint when or why it happened but I simply stopped caring about other people's opinions about me. My family and friends know who I am and that's enough for me. Now before this post seems off-topic, I was going somewhere with it. The internet emulates society in a much more harsh condition due to anonymity and therefore lack on consequence. The irony here is someone can bash you for liking something "society" says you shouldn't but if they were in fact doing something like this in an open, public setting, they'd be ridiculed probably more than the person they were getting on. TL;DR version, we all like different things and we all detest different things. Unless something is effecting you directly, there's no real point in bashing on it. There is also no real point to in offering multiple rebuttals to people who aren't going to listen. It's just best to move on. To each his own. Also, semi TL;DR fail.
Agreed, with the C.S. Lewis quote /)^3^(\ But yes, the individual often acts much differently when in public/society... it can be quite annoying, to have all the standards and stereotypes imposed upon you. Still, nice to see that worked out for you, not caring what most people's opinions are... it means that I'm taking the right approach here ^_^ I'll admit to have been... somewhat a troll before though. But only for Twilight (no, NOT Twilight Sparkle, the movies that is) But I was a classy one. And yes, I watched the movie first... I didn't know what it was about before watching other than "popular", and "vampires".
if being wimpy and femine makes me gay,then i dont care,and as ill tell everyone BAKING IS MANLY GODAMMIT! and its not gardenng its farming when your in charge of the school veggie plot
Nothing wrong with trolling if used for good. There is almost nothing more satisfying than ticking a troll off. I also refuse to comment on Twilight. Not my cup of tea. Anne Rice's work is REAL vampires. Actually, just saying, the best cooks and bakers are actually probably men. I actually cook, sew and garden myself. If it's something you enjoy, who cares. I love cooking and gardening (not able to where we live now). I learned sewing because I'm rough on clothing. Just remember, haters gonna hate.
(Woah, lots of activity while I slept. ) I guess I would probably refer to myself as a troll, myself. When I think of a troll, I don't think of the typical thing that most people today seem to think of, which is just someone saying stupid things for a reaction. I consider a true troll to be a person who can undermine another's beliefs and opinions, and make them generally feel cynical and bad about themselves, their beliefs, or anything. I used to do it quite a bit, without making myself appear as an idiot to others. :S The people there generally seem to try to be trolls, but use rather pathetic methods. While I'm pretty sure that the person I was talking to generally disliked ponies, I highly doubt that he could be ignorant enough to actually believe that over-generalizations and stereotypes would apply to everyone, or any of his other points, which leads me to believe that he didn't have any from the start. Most people prefer to ignore them, which is probably the good thing to do. I, though, like to fight with them. I don't try to make them change their beliefs, but rather try to make them regret trying to harm one's self-esteem for having them. My best friend on the site refuses to acknowledge his interests in any way, because he's been lead to believe that having them is bad. I think that's absolutely HORRIBLE. His personality that he shows, and so hopefully not, he has, is extremely stunted and he is reluctant to give opinion or anything other than cynicism. It makes me pretty sad. But yeah, I think that's basically everything I had to say for now. :33
I'm pretty sure this show makes everyone gay in the literal, not slang, sense. I find that to be a great thing.
@OP Post. >Stage 1, then all the way to Stage 5. Anyways, as for that link to the image we all look different, it's not like we all look alike. I mean look at the forum for example. It's so diverse, we have people from all over Europe, to the US, and even Brazil! [Size=-2]P.S: MLP is not gay, only the people who say the word gay are gay. :derpe:[/Size]
Y'know, I didn't expect to enjoy this thread, but with Naikado's smart handling of the failtroll, not to mention Dan's comments (), I'd just like to say: everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg Very good points. We sure are a diverse community. [size=-2]Must...resist urge...to put...this...in my...signature...[/size]
I really can't imagine how a troll could be so good that he could bother me when I'm not even responding to him. Yeah, maybe some trolls are just so "professional" they could say hurtfull things without appearing as a troll... but hey, let them think whatever they like. It doesn't get to me much. And if they want to take my silence for a victory, I hope they enjoy it. I'm not one for conflict-situations. Not IRL, and especially not on the internets. I understand some of you might enjoy trolling a troll, but it's not my thing. Except for the ones among us who are, in fact, gay. :derpe:
I have nothing against trolls. It's people getting their lulz. I have something against trolls that get the wrong people mad. In other words, non-trolls. Result? I have the most fun trolling the trolls. Trolling people who are not trolls is bad, mkay? :hypocriteface:
