Ok, I know not many Ponies want to hear this but do all of you it as fond of Ghost as much as I am? If anypony doesn't know who he is, he's a capitalist that runs an online radio show about capitalism and is targeted by A LOT of trolls. So, is the dislike shared in this lovely community? Just wondering.
I don't know this guy, but I would say on behalf of most of the people here that hatred doesn't exist in our lives any more. Sure, disagreeing with someone or disliking someone is still a common occurrence, but hate (for me) just doesn't come into my mind any more. And I'm so glad MLP has done that for me.
You really don't know what he's done. And I don't have any hatred left but if I did, it would be with this guy.
I never hate haters. Hate + Hate = More hate Should Ghost realise the community he hates loves him, he'll either become overwhelmed with joy and love us back, or continue hating us. Nothing to lose, all to gain. Listening to Ghost does make the latter more likely, but hey, it's not the brony way to hate.
Ok, ok. I do regret saying hate. I know a good brony should never hate someone under any circumstances. I apologize. So I hope everypony realizes that I have no hate for Ghost, I just strongly disagree with his ideas. Sorry!
The only reason anyone even listens to him is because of the constant trolling he gets. Besides, hating him's not the brony way.
That was a pretty interesting conversation. It great to see bronies thinking that way. I don't know who this guy is. So I don't know what to think of him. I wonder though, although this is slightly off topic. what would a brony say they think of someone or philosophy who is pure evil. As in they have none of the 5 elements in their heart and spend their lives actively trying to promote misery, suffering, pain and discord. Their may not be enough love & tolerance to go around for that, even for me.
> Pic related: Click on image for larger version. Yes, I know who Ghost is. I accidentally found out about him when I did a YouTube search to see if there were any videos that mentioned bronies. Unfortunately, several of the results were from this guy's radio show. I'm not too crazy about this guy. I'm not even sure how any real capitalists can take him seriously with some of the stuff he says. He claims that he's not racist, which I think is a joke. He has a game called "Guess The Minority." Yeah, not racist. I don't think so, buddy. He also makes sexist remarks and apparently has a hatred toward Canada. He also likes to make homophobic remarks quite often. He claims he's none of these things. Let's say he's telling the truth. If he is, I find his taste in humor to be appalling to say the least. At first when I learned he was constantly being trolled I originally felt bad for the guy, but then I realized how he conducts his "business" on his little radio show. Now I don't feel so bad for him. Every once in a while I'll listen in. I don't listen to the entire broadcast because it's not something that interests me. Usually I'll listen to old broadcasts and skip right to the Radio Graffiti segment. Supposedly bronies call up his show, but I don't believe that. The individuals trolling Ghost with brony-related memes, clips, quotes, etc. are probably just using that for the lulz. I don't think real bronies would do that. I know I wouldn't do it, but I don't mind listening to see what the trolls are using from MLP:FIM. I've heard clips from "Winter Wrap Up," "Giggle at The Ghostly," the MLP introduction, "Equestria Girls," I think I even heard some fan-made material on there. I also hear things like, "Fluttershy is my waifu," "Pinkie Pie is best pony" (which is true, but still...), "Rainbow Dash is best pony," as well as hearing "20% cooler." Someone used the MLP:FIM soundboard before with Fluttershy's "You're going to LOVE me!" and Pinkie Pie's, "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!" There was even a guy that called up recently and was singing Pinkie Pie's "Pony Pokey," but Ghost didn't understand it and retorted with some Asian racist remark, which made no sense and made him (Ghost, not the caller) look like a fool. Anyway, he definitely doesn't think too highly of us. He essentially calls us feminine homosexual males, just in a manner that's not nearly as eloquent or professional. Y'know, pretty much the typical response of any other ignorant hater. So, if you're easily offended by remarks like I've described, I do not recommend listening in to this broadcast. I, on the other hand, can't even take him seriously, so I find it hilarious. Yeah, I'll tolerate him, but I will not love or even like him. Sorry, never gonna happen.
That is exactly my reasoning for not liking him. Sometimes I do get offended by other people but like you, I have learned to laugh at this guy and to just shrug it off. You pretty much said what I was thinking. Thanks! And for the record, I don't hate anypony! I wrote the first post out of anger and I'm so sorry! Thanks, ePONYmous
Being the cynic I am, I still hope that one day humanity stops being petty and we can pull our collective heads together before we have one of those breaking events that blows society apart again. But there will always be people who hate no matter what happens. We have these people on both sides of the fence both "good" and "evil". If we could all live and be content while we can, less fighting would ensue. Ghost is one of those fueling the hate bus in the opposite direction. Or, if people took the stance I do, I think we'd all be happier. I could care less what someone thinks about me. I'm always going to be doing something someone doesn't like and once I came to terms with it, I figured I may as well be doing something that I like in the process. Even if this happens, you'll have at least someone else like Ghost doing what he does. I'll like a show originally targeted to young girls all I want. There's so much there someone I'm sure of won't like. I'll be proud to know I'm not flowing in the same direction as society has tried to conform me to. I'm secure enough with myself to be able to disregard the rantings of someone who judges someone based on interests and beliefs instead of actions.
@Epon The modern bigot has themselves completely convinced they are sensible. Few people actually want to be taboo, and racism and sexism are definitely taboo terms, so quite often these people have to work mental gymnastics to make their ideas flow with the moral norm - in this manner they convince themselves that they're not actually racist and the like to make themselves feel better about themselves and the ideas they hold.
