Nope, it's healthier than anime.

as much as I know all hope is lost for ending....
at least,I try to enjoy it at full
so much time spent that there's no point in leaving now
and even when you think is the worst part of the fandom and the show,despite all the odds,it's still more interesting than any other cartoon series or fandom

>>29693020
No, because without it, I would've never met my waifu Dashie.

This.

Sometimes it hurt, and this season wasn't easy for me. But every time I see her, every time I see her smile, I think that all the bad moments aren't important, because the only thing that matters is how happy she makes me, and I wouldn't have that if I hadn't joined the ride.

I love this pony, I will never regret getting to know her.

Yeah, a bit. Then again, I realized what I was getting into. We all hoped that the show wouldn't be another zombie, but we all knew in our hearts that it was going to be.
>>
>>29693020
No. It came in at the right point in my life to where I didn't feel so bad after changing schools and feeling like I had no friends. Of course that changed by the time I got out but was still able to find those weirdos new the beginning to help me through the tough times of being made fun of by others and to jut tell them to fuck off and let me enjoy what I want to in peace. No lie it feels like a long time ago but I wish it weren't that way for the ponies because sometimes it really does feel like the community is falling apart when it really doesn't have much reason to. We have more content than ever seen before and the fanbase is as strong as ever know the band wagoners are off the ride. This websites has a ton of pessimist that think their worlds are like everyone else's when in reality when somebody has a bad outlook on one thing they drag the rest of the community down with them.

I'll never forget this odd stage of my existence though. No regrets.

Yes because originally I was suppose to be in it for only 20 days.
But apparently shitposting on messageboards is really addictive, I've only joined /co/ in 2010.

If it was up to me I'd have as secret elite group which is specifically made to embarass and show how incapable and retarded the brony fanbase is. "Look how easy that was, only a retard wouldn't be able to do it".
>>
>>29693020
Nope, 4-5 years and its been great all the way through
>>
>>29693020
No, it wouldn't have changed anything that I couldn't change today if I wanted to, I only got positive things from it. Except the clopping, maybe.

The thing is, I still watch the show, and it still makes me smile.
I'm happier because of colorful pastel ponies.
Thanks, Lauren Faust.

The show?
No. I was in a teen angst rut and felt only hatred for all of life and existence in the universe. I was on Coldsteel the Hedgehog levels of edginess. Then, one day when I was at a friend's house, he had Smile Smile Smile playing on his computer on Dailymotion. Hearing the sound of Pinkie Pie's pure love and optimism flipped a switch in me and I threw out all hatred. In that moment, only love was in my heart. The concept of watching a 22-minute toy commercial is ridiculous, but it saved my life. Pic related is what I saw in the moment my life changed.

The fandom?
Nah. You guys are crazy, but I love you none the less. If I was capable of your levels of autism, I would probably waifu Pinkie for the reason above, but a guy's gotta survive, and I do that by appeasing the normies.

>>
>>29694789
The rate at which content disappears is relatively low, especially with people archiving shit as they do in the current year. Hence, all that's required to have more content than ever before is to keep a continuous production of content at the same - low - rate as that of the disappearance of content, and then to add one piece. My point still stands.
>>
>>29694747
But anon, she's not real.
I would probably end up with more sadness than happiness living a life that I know is a lie.
I could cheat on her, but no one would be truly betrayed.
I could badmouth her and neglect her, but there would be no one to whom I would need to prove my love again.
I could love her dearly and think about her every day, but who would be loved?
Why do it if there is no purpose, if there are no consequences? What is the point of that kind of life?

>>
>>29694839
Jealous of what, exactly?
>>29694861
What's the practical difference between loving your waifu and having a long-distance relationship? Ultimately, the person you love is only your perception of the physical person; this is especially true of lovers long-distance due to the fact that physical pointers towards personality aren't present. If you were to cheat on a long-distance lover, they'd likely never find out; you might feel as if you have betrayed them but really all you've done in betray your own morals and thus yourself. If you have a solid moral structure, I posit there's no difference between such a lover and a waifu, or at least any difference is negligible in practice. Also
>I would ... waifu Pinkie
That's not how it works; just like you don't choose to fall in love with someone in the real world you don't choose to fall in love with your waifu.
>>
>>29694783
But it still holds true. N/SFW art is still going strong along with some react content. Music and PMVs have been the ones to really make a decline.

>>29694919
>Jealous of what, exactly?
I don't know, you tell me why you're mad that some random oldfriend likes the show.
>>
>>29694936
I'm not, I just think it's edgy to say that the only reason that you didn't kill yourself was a show for little girls and a bunch of faggots. I don't think you understand the concept of envy.
>>
>>29694934
He didn't say more content creation than ever, he said more content than ever. If all the content we have now were permanently preserved and none more were created, until a fag discovers the preserved collection and decides to add to it in 10 years, 100 years, or any period of time from now, there would be more content than there ever had been before.
>>
>>29694947
Nothing edgy about that. I'm sure plenty of people around here will become an hero when the show ends and the board is deleted.

I think you're salty because you're not happy, and you have nothing better to do than telling people happier than you on an Internet Imageboard to kill themselves.
>>

>I'm sure plenty of people around here will become an hero when the show ends

Okay friendo
Also, in reply to your conjecture; I'm sufficiently happy, and not salty, though I suppose saying that won't convince you. But no, I don't have anything better to do right now. At least I have enough going for me that I won't kill myself over a TV show, though.
Nice dubs, by the way.
>>
>>29693020
Ever since I joined the ride, I have spiraled into maladjusted autism.

I am on the autism spectrum and had to take classes in early adolescence to learn how to interact socially, but on a personal level, I refused to let the neuroatypicality define me and over the next several years analytically and otherwise garnered well-adjusted social behavior. I had many friends, dated, could court attractive women into accelerated intimacy, and so on.

Ever since I joined the ride a few years ago, my latent autism—although I still reject the label—rapidly and consummately manifested as massive social inhibition and maladjustment to the point that on several occasions even people on this board have asked if I am clinically autistic.

The ride transformed me from a well-adjusted, normal individual into one of the most maladjusted persons on this board.

Joining the ride was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
>>
>>29693020
Yes.
Show's shit
Comic's shit
EQG went from bad, to decent, to shit

If it werent for some threads here, elsewhere, and the porn in general, I would have been done with pony by now.
>>
>>29695035
>I would have been done with pony by now.
Keep telling yourself that.
>>
>>29693020
No.
My life would have been shit in some other way and I would have blamed it on that instead.
To be able to focus the shittyness in my life on a stupid cartoon feels good in a way.
>>
>>29695016
Right, and I'm supposed to believe that.
You go live your perfectly well-adjusted non-salty life, then.

>At least I have enough going for me that I won't kill myself over a TV show, though.
Yes, you're clearly better than the other anonymous 4chan users watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, because they have depression and feel shitty about themselves, whereas you tell them to off themselves while feeling smugly superior.

Oh, and nice singles.
>>
I'd never find 4chan, and I would still get boners in public from looking at filthy disgusting human women, so no. Overall I find it stupid to wonder over alternate versions of myself, Max Payne said it best.

"Vlad was right. There are no choices, nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "why me?" and "what if?". When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions." - Max Payne
>>
>>29693020
Nope, thanks to this wild ride I found a lot of great artists whose content I still enjoy even if though they don't do pony anymore. It also opened me up to the world of animation outside of anime. Also learned to be a somewhat better artist while on the ride.
>>
>>29695055
I never said perfectly adjusted, friend, just not so unstable that I'd kill myself over a TV show. Nor am I any better than the average poster; I just find it edgy for people to say they would have killed themselves without something as inconsequential as MLP when ultimately they probably wouldn't have, especially when something so inconsequential supposedly saved them from the brink of it.
Also, nice dubs again.

I can, because its true.
I have other things to occupy myself with if I really had enough, but I just happen to enjoy the potential of the FiM world enough to hang on.

Seeing it squandered in official media and picked up by others in interesting and meaningful ways is really all that keeps me here.

>How do you know if it never happened
Because Ive done just that with another series that I lost interest in after a few years, even if they've kept going and have some form of fandom, I've completely disassociated myself from them after it/its fandom became uninteresting to me for multiple reasons?

I really havent checked back on those since, and I dont feel a need to, honestly.

You can form as much conjecture as you'd like, but truly, I know myself well enough to see myself doing that should the FiM world's potential ever stop being fascinating.
>>
>>29695154
I'm not the one being offended, you are. I'm fine with being called a cum-guzzling retardd[sic].
You can call me a moron, and I'm fine with that.
Now kill yourself and remove your stupidity from the gene pool.
>>
>>29695139
Too bad for you, I don't need to kill myself because I find joy on these ponies. The same joy I couldn't find in a world filter with scum like you. I know, and I knew for years, that nothing would change if I killed myself right now or if I had killed myself years ago. But I can guarantee that the world would be better for everyone else if you killed yourself.

Not really. I mostly watch for the show's innocent, cute nature. It reminds me of a time when a man didn't have to prove himself to a pair of shoes by getting on his knees and offering diamonds. I refuse to be overly scrupulous about the show. I just want to see cute poners in a cool universe.. I like all seasons of mlp. I like eqg as well. I'm not a die-hard fan by any means, but I've seen every episode, movie, and short. I clop maybe 10% of the time. The only fan site i go on is this one. I'm not autistic enough to not have any other hobbies/interests

Nope. I would have been a furfag if it wasnt for pone.
NOTE: it is debatable if pone is furfag or not but I'm talking neon dragon cocks on a doggo with bat wings furfag autism here. and pone isnt that level of furfag.

/mlp/ even has a name for me. They call me Lector, or more recently, Vector.

>I'm really curious about that, what did they teach you exactly?
I do not remember the details, but it was more or less a synergy of small talk, social cues, white lies, appropriate topics of conversation, and duration of monologue of niche obsessive interest. The format was a combination of group exercises and individual conversations with a specialist. At the time I did not even know it was for ASD or bother wondering why I was attending classes in a hospital or why one of the organizers would talk to me about things; I was floating in my own world. For me, one of the most instructive aspects was seeing how other "students" behaved and interacted in ways I recognized to be undesirable, successfully recognizing analogues of their social behavior in myself, and consciously deciding to work on them using the tools they provided. Years later, I realized it was for autism.

Discussing this stresses me. I have never told anyone I am on the autism spectrum disorder because I reject the label and distinction as defining me in any way. However, it apparently remains evident to people familiar with the neuroatypicality; my former girlfriend said it was clear from the moment she met me. I am incapable of understanding how, for if I were, I wouldn't be on the autism spectrum in the first place.
>>
>>29696332
>I was floating in my own world
Wow, that hits pretty close to home.
I feel like I was just drifting through mindlessly when I was young. Maybe I'm on the spectrum too!

I was deployed in Iraq when the ride started. I only watched hardcore edgelord shows full of violence and tragedy in my teens, but living sleep deprived on an Iraqi oil refinery put me in a phase in which all I wanted was saccharin escapsim. My job was to provide internet wherever I was, so I was able to access MLP and it kept me going, and that remained the case for a couple years.

Nowadays, I sometimes think that if I'd dropped the show I might have made more progress with one or two projects of mine, and definitely wonder where the cash I spent on MLP merch might have gone instead. I don't think I'll ever get off the ride at this point, but I have no doubt that I'd be worse off if I'd never gotten on the ride to begin with.

The whole point is that ASD is normal too, and it is the kind of fissiparous disaggregation as yours of neurotypicality as normalcy from whatever other labels we brand that I so detest. It is useful clinically; beyond that, it is venomous.

It's really not. The hint is in the "SD". You are not normal. You are a broken subhuman. But why are you so ashamed of that?

We can argue semantics, but it statistically isn't the norm, anon.

I disagree that it disaggregation to recognize that, I'm not putting anyone in a separate box.
Rather, it's part of personality and what makes people who they are, you might as well not be ashamed of that.

The thing is I don't think you're fucking broken, and if people think less of you for a label they're making a mistake, but by avoiding the label it looks like you're trying to avoid the truth.

Of course I cannot deny the diagnosis, but I will never volunteer it nor let it intrinsically define me to myself as anything less than normal—if I am not normal, it is for who I am and chose to be. This thread was the only time I volunteered it even anonymously, and while it was contextually reasonable in addressing OP, I sincerely regret it.

I sincerely apologize for that then.
But even then "normal" isn't all that it's cracked up to be, if it even means anything.
I'd much rather be who I am and content in what I do than obsess over labels and what random people might call me.

Just like gays aren't normal in the sense that they aren't a majority, and even though it's also a label they have that some people use as an slur, it's just part of who they are and that doesn't make them worse or better than anyone.

In exactly the same way, the autism spectrum is only an insult if that's what you take it to be.
>>
>>29694919
>any difference is negligible in practice
I thoroughly disagree. When you're young and love means feelings and romance, it may feel the same, but loving a real person means that two people are happy at first, followed by however many children you bring into the world. Sure it's easier to have a waifu than a wife, since you can never be betrayed by a figment of imagination, but if you find the right person, a relationship with another human being is more rewarding.

Another thing is that having a waifu appears to me to basically be a personalized religion or sorts. Don't get me wrong, I have tremendous respect for people who find reason in life by making it in the form of loving a waifu whether it is to give themselves reasons to better themselves or just to cope with loneliness or depression. I don't know where you stand on spirituality, but if I'm going to dedicate my life to a being whose presence influences me when I allow it to do so, I must choose God, who may or may not be real as far as I can tell, over a pony character, who I know was fabricated. Out of curiosity, where do waifufags stand on theism and religion? My assumption is that mostly atheists populate this board, but if there is an argument to be made for both serving God and loving one's waifu, I would like to hear it.

>you don't choose to fall in love with someone
I'm not speaking of falling in love, that's a matter of being infatuated with someone. I speak of loving someone, a commitment by which one actively chooses to care about someone and put the wellbeing of the other above that of oneself.

At times. Especially now because I've finally realized that the show was already flushed down the toilet with jim miller and co. It scares me that when I go to my local pone convention, I see the large amount of shills for these degenerates and the show. The VA's are ok, except for peter new, who somehow still gets invitations. Then I've also noticed how cancerous "fandumb celebrities" are, like KP or purple tranny. Dusty Katt seems alright, though I've not had a goo conversation with him yet, but maybe you guys can redpill me on anything you know. It's become a shitshow of gooey, sticky autismbux. The only thing I can enjoy now is the local convention, nothing else. Have things really gotten this bad?

I joined just after s2 ended. I feel like I just caught the tip of the curve, and it all went down from there. It was amazing the first few months, and pone made me happy in a way I haven't been able to replicate since. I don't think the fandom's dying, things have been pretty stable since the end of s5.

Nope. The show, books, /mlp/, and even some of the comics have been somethings I wouldn't want to have gone without experiencing. It's had its bumps for sure, but the ride has been a wonderful thing for me.
>>
For almost six goddamn years I was the typical anti-brony. For six years I kept myself normal (no anime or other cartoons either, and I still don't watch those). But then in fall 2016 I decided it would be a -great- idea to watch some MLP episodes and laugh at faggots who could watch some girl show garbage. I have never made a worse decision in my entire life. Four or five episodes was all it took to get me to watch the rest of the season and the rest of the show. Fuck you Faust, and fuck you /mlp/ I want to be normal again. If I could get off this ride this very moment, I would without any regrets aside from not doing it sooner.

Of course, nobody knows how much of a faggot I am now. Not two days ago a relatively close friend told me he was a brony. I laughed and called him a faggot. God help me if I ever spill my spaghetti and someone finds out.

Oh god no, never.
Back in June 2011 right before I found & got on the ride, I was starting to think of killing myself.
(Granted, it was a few days before the end of grade 7) Maybe every kid feels this way at some point, but I can't imagine where'd I be without it.
The earlyish days of the fandom of "love & tolerance" gave me hope. Lifted me out of a bit of a depression. Everything was just so bright & cheerful. Became part of my very soul.
I will NEVER leave Lauren Faust's wild ride.

Only sometimes, and that's only because of the sadness that comes when I realize how much this fandom has changed, and how much I missed. 2014 was the year I joined and probably the worst year I could have. Any later and I probably would have seen what was happening in this fandom and not have joined, any sooner and I would've been able to have enjoyed the end of the fandom's heydays.

Thanks, anon. That's meaningful.

A few years ago when my girlfriend and I were visiting her exceptionally curt cousin, he once asked, "Hey [name], why are you so socially awkward?", to which my girlfriend interjected, "Because he's autistic." I had never told her anything. I had almost forgotten about the whole thing because I'm just myself. But here I was thrust into that there is something "wrong" with me that is obvious to everyone but which, due to what is wrong with me, I am incapable of understanding. It's like some joke that everyone is in on except me, and part of the joke is that I can't tell what it is beyond that it is who I am.

I know that when people in life describe me as autistic or politely ask on this board if I'm clinically autistic, it's not an insult, but this is why it still hurts a lot and why I don't think about it.

That is how I talk. In person, it is concomitant with a stunted, unnatural inflectional pattern.

And yes, I oppose the term autism intrinsically because I think the term should be reserved for those for whom it is debilitating—moderate to severe autism. This is why I instead use ASD.

>>29693020
This Anon sure does. >>29699862

>>29701463
To clarify, of course I can identify some aspects of distinction: hyper-linguism, syntax structure, my inflectional and kinesthetic idiosyncracies, endemic faux pas I retrospectively recognize and learn from, and so on. However, even when I artificially temper what I can to avoid even anonymous identification—for instance, simplifying syntax and artificially working around my vocabulary—it often does not work. This is the sense in which I cannot recognize how: if I could, I would be able to.

As he imagines himself with her, he strips away everything from his life, because every aspect of his life is sadness. But now he has ended it, perhaps has taken the pills, and there is release from it all.

>all ther eis to do, all there is to want, all ther eis to need, is soimply to pick her up in a hug and nuzzle her seoft hair. rub her heavenly soft ear. ther'es nothing else.

There’s nothing else because the world is misery aside from her. Any thing from the world would sully this solace. The only thing to do as the pills kick in is to hug her. This is the only happiness he can imagine.

Nope. I'm new to the ride, started watching in late 2016. It's a really nice, saccharine show, a guilty pleasure. But I do kinda regret broadcasting that fact to all of my internet friends and acquaintances.

I was fascinated (and kinda revulsed) by the brony community years before actually giving the show a chance. Now that I'm rapidly growing closer to it, I can't help but feel like I'm being tricked. I mean, the show is great, the ideals of friendship and tolerance are charming and good to get a refresher on, but it's ultimately a franchise owned by a huge corporation that wants to sell me toys and other merchandise. I imagine there is a fine line between enjoying the show in a healthy way, and getting too attached to Equestria. I might be crossing it right now by breaking my self-imposed rule of not interacting with the fandom.

Honestly...... fucking same.

Joined in 2012 when the board first opened. I'm in college now. Like fuck.

Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad ones. But this board man... It's... It's comforting.

Having experienced both a waifu and a long-distance relationship, the two are very different, primarily due to the ability to communicate. A waifu can't give you her opinions on your life and you can't talk with her about hers. That factor alone has a huge impact.

Have you considered that not thinking about it may be exactly why you don't know how to cope? There's a fact you're consciously aware of, but you choose not to factor it into your reasoning. If you draw the wrong conclusions as a result it shouldn't be a surprise.

Speaking as someone who's on the autism spectrum, the worst thing you can do for yourself is deny what you have. Chances are you have some exceptional gifts to go with your weaknesses, but in order to live well, you're going to need to admit the existence of both. I've seen you spend a lot of time on this board pretending that your approach to things is ordinary and rational when it is extremely bizarre. It's driven many a thread into the ground. This stubbornness and denial is going to get you into trouble- more than it has already.

Wisdom is to know yourself. Look at your own nature as a tool, not a handicap. It's not going to be good for everything. Once you see it clearly, figuring out how to use it is infinitely easier.

Yeah. I have a little brother who is over 15 years younger than me. He watches a lot of cartoons, and while occasionally watching them with him, I caught a few moments of MLP. That's how I got the idea to start watching ponies this late.

Gravity Falls and Star Butterfly are both pretty neat, too.

The only times I regret it is when I try to do something creative, especially writing. I just never want to separate what I do from ponies; anything else feels boring to write about.

But that's a minor thing. I love the show and the fandom's been too much fun for me to ever regret.

I grew up on the ride, got into the show around the beginning of season 2 and now it's heading into season 7, and I'm turning 19 soon. It's a part of me at this point.

I know that feeling.

MLP is one hell of a drug. Compared to the sheer variety of ideas available and the fandom's obsession with exploring every possibility, most other works of fiction feel shallow by comparison.

The show doesn't hold on its own all that held it together was desperate manchildren That's why we have these fags that don't watch but still want to belong.
>>
>>29709975
I don't regard it as a toy commercial because I have never bought any merchandise, but I can understand why someone might buy a few things, and buying a few things does not make a toy commercial. However, buying merchandise in hoards like that anon is just throwing money at Hasbro for toys, and to continue to throw money at Hasbro despite no longer watching the show is just the ultimate irony.

Not even once. This ride was one of the best things that happened to me, nothing will ever be the same when it's over.
Nothing to regret but a lot of joy and good times, and some of the finest escapism that ever helped me through depression

I stopped watching the show I believe part way through season 4 maybe (not sure)? Joined at the end of the second season. I'm pretty sure it's been two years since I completely left "the fandom"

On the negative side, it generated so much cringe in my life. One minor example is one of my friends finding my pony sketches and me begging him to not tell anyone. That's minor. Another is that I used to have conversations with RD on a regular basis (not really of course) while just walking around, asking for advice. I once prayed to her to give me strength. I actually have read so much fucking fanfiction I can't even express how many words. At least 5,000,000, but I'm just playing it safe. It was probably much much more. I read the big ones - i.e Fallout Equestria, Background Pony, End of Ponies, Austraeoh (which I'm almost inspired to keep up with the series). I actually fucked up my eyes by reading as much as I did.

On the plus side, it made me really happy, and was something that I was passionate about. I wrote fanfics, drew (real bad) fanart, bought merch, found a niche (kind of) on mlpchan when that was still a thing. Also, I fucking. Love. RD. Still, to this day.

The RDs in this thread may have inspired me to catch up with the show. Also, despite all this, I'm a newfag (have only been here a few time) to /mlp/ so sorry if I come off as an idiot.
>>
Meh I still like the show and am in the fandom since I consider myself a fan. Were I not a fan, I would not still be watching. Or is the fandom different in this case?

Good job, anon. Shrine's excellent. Is it signed by Libman herself?

>>29693020
Nope, but I do regret letting my guard down when I met a mlp goer irl

Not really. Anything that made me look like doofus in front of my peers would have happened with or without pony, hell it had been happening my whole life, so it didn't make a difference. I managed to keep the spaghetti to a minimum for the most part anyways, at least until senior year of high school. By that point I had cemented a reputation as a don't give a fuck weirdo who is actually pretty cool somehow, so no one cared.
I've had intermittent periods of very nasty depression since I was very young, so having something nice to retreat into whenever I needed it probably helped in the long term.

Don't watch season 6. Not all of it was shit, Dash had some great moments, but most of us Dashfags agree on it being the worst season for her by a huge margin. If you stopped watching the show years ago, I wouldn't recommend you coming back.

I'd be a raging hardcore gamer if this community didn't appear to distract me from that life, so hell no, never. Pony gave me the motivation to work on my art skills too, which may very well lead to being my profession one day. I'd be lost without pone.
