Have you ever cringed openly at a person revealing their powerlevel?

>>30210864
nope. its very satisfying to be around confident individuals who know what they like and dont let judgment stop them.

ill always remain in the shadows, but they have my silent admiration.

>>30210877
Same t b h. Though I couldn't help but cringe at this one dude who had Rainbow colored hair (i live in a conservative area, so ko, it wasn't a normal thing) and three tiny clip on plushies attached to his backpack, as well as various pins attached to his coat.
I mean, there's confidence, and then there's autism

Sounds like you have confidence issues OP.

>>30210864
>Princess Cadence
>best pony
That triggers me more than anything.

>>30210914
its a fine line.

>>30210864
Not really, I wish I was confident enough to buy pony related things in public. One of those generic fandom shops in my town has a plushie of my favourite pony, and I just can't bring myself to buy it.

Shame is a normal feeling when you obsess over shows for 4 year old girls as a grown ass man

It is your mind telling you you should do something better with your life

>>30210864
Why are they selling pony toys at a gas station?

>>30210963
Hi Lee

>>30210971
because gas stations like money

>>30210971
I'm not sure, it's one of those chain ones that does all kinds of MTO stuff and for some reason they sell Cadence, Celestia and Luna toys at the counter

>>30210985
Can't blame Lee for not having grown up

>>30210997
Are they any good? All the official Luna merch sucks, except for the Funko vinyl toy.

>>30211004
I mean they're pretty generic, like you could buy them anywhere. But the fact that they have them there is weird

You know, that when you cringe at someone, you actually cringe at what you recongnize of yourself in him, only multiplied to unbearable [for you] levels.

>>30210944
>plushie... can't bring myself to buy it.

Ask if they can hold it for you until December.
When they say "no" - buy it right away.
Ask for it to be gift-wrapped, and with a label with its content "so you dont forget".

>>30210864
That actually sounds fairly normal. People say stuff like that when they buy things all the time. If it was anything other than a pony it'd seem less cringey to you.

>>30212333
>inb4 they actually let him put it on layaway

I never really understood the "muh powerlevel" thing of /mlp/.
You guys do realize no one gives a fuck? The only time people will give a fuck about your hobbies is when _you_ show them _you_ give a fuck about it.

>>30210864
That seems pretty innocuous. Most people really don't care if you're part of a weird subculture as long as you're not obnoxious about it, and "I like x" is a pretty benign comment.

Plus, cringing at things is kind of silly. If someone is doing something odd, getting embarrassed for them doesn't do any good really. I mean, speaking from personal experience, most of the vicarious embarrassment I've felt has been from imagining what other people are thinking.

(Sorry if this post is really incoherent. It's early, and I'm kind of tired).

>>30212333
It's not that I don't want people to know it's for me, it's that I don't want to be seen buying it at all. I know it's stupid, but I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a social autist.

Maybe I should just get one off Ebay or something.

>>30212369
the part that bothers people is its a show for girls, not that its for kids. no one blinks when you say you like pokemon even though its a show for a similar demographic of boys. funny that this is the sort of thing faust was looking to put a stop to. boys and girls should be able to enjoy whatever shows they want.

OOOOH WHAT A WORLD
I just want to buy my ponies man

>>30212536
>need
Or, you just buy the thing.

>>30212535
Yeah there's literally no reason why boy shouldn't buy dildos and girls should buy fleshlights amiright XD? #girlpower #feminism #mlkjr

>>30212560
but what about my reputation Anon
what if someone sees me
what if the cashier posts it on facebook

>>30212567
>He has no problems in buying fleshlights in person
>Too embarrassed to buy a dildo
You have a fucked up sense of shame, anon.

>>30212567
Boys DO buy dildos, but girls are literally unable to use fleshlights. Are you terminally retarded?

>>30212572
>but what about my reputation Anon
You don't have one
>what if someone sees me
They won't give a fuck
>what if the cashier posts it on facebook
No one will give a fuck

>>30212369
If the cashier didn't ask you anything about it, and you say something to that effect, it's still cringe because it sounds like damage control.

>>30212320
Nice armchair psychology

I can see how "second hand embarassment" means you transfer assumptions about your own feelings upon another person, but that doesn't mean you share their specific kind of autism, it just means you're acquainted to, for example, the uncomfortable feeling of comitting a social faux pas, as is everybody on the planet

there's a point where you may not be embarassed for somebody else, you might legitimately just be embarassed by them, as in, they behave so terrible, the mere fact you're in any sort of relationship has an effect on your reputation

If I bring a friend to a family gettogether and he starts striking up conversations about his favourite rape hentai with my grandparents (and I swear to god I'm not making this one up), "embarassment" doesn't even really describe the utter feeling of dread in my stomach cause I'm fucking getting second hand disowned here

>>30212578
now, now, Anon, boys don't buy dildos, only girls(male) do.
get your facts right nigga

>>30210963
Shame is a normal feeling when you obsess over grown ass men obsessing over a show for 4 year old girls.

It is your mind telling you you should do something better with your life.

>>30212642
>It is your mind telling you you should do something better with your life.

Well, mine, and that of pretty much everybody else

>>30212648
Perhaps it's time to reconsider your life choices, for example, your choice to continue living.

Then you went home and blogged about it on /mlp/ and pulled your pud to pony porn. You're so much better than him.

>>30212698
nobody says we are. but let's say we were all in love with poot, and we were to bring poot plushes out to public restaurants, parks etc. most people will be like... you know, bothered? that's the autism/normie difference.

>>30212532
get your niece to buy it with you, say it's for her, then sneak into her home and steal it.

>>30213003
What the fuck is poot?

>>30212698
Well what the hell else are we gonna talk about here?

>>30213027
Poot. ?

Extroverted nerds who don't know their own power levels are the worst. They are the ones who cackle in laughter while eating lunch in the cafeteria while watching fanmade pony videos on their phones.

Not even fucking joking, I'm just sitting there in the college caff, eating my lunch, and the nerds next table over are bothering EVERYONE with their obnoxiousness. They might as well have been the anime fans back in high-school who wore Naruto headbands to school.

>>30210864
I had someone in one of my classes openly showing everyone pony memes on his phone and had pins all over his backpack. Surprisingly no one said anything but I was tempted to tell him that there was a time and a place for these sorts of things.

>>30214778

Same.

I mean, just having pins is no big deal, or even a shirt.

>>30210864
>I had a guy in front of me at a gas station buy a Princess Cadence toy and say she was best pony to the cashier
>Candyass
>best anything
>not the most obvious "buy our toys" character with otherwise no purpose to exist whatsoever

This guy should off himself already. Or maybe he likes her for the porn. This is the only area where Candyass truly shines. After all, she IS the alicorn of love.

>>30210864
>do you cringe at people who tell the truth?
Nope.
Sounds like you have a guilty conscience, OP.

>>30210929
it is probably because it is true

>>30212620
Nice armchair psychology.
The cringe was due to feelings of strong sexual attraction. The guy in front of him was confident enough to shamelessly buy a pony toy and that was all it takes to get his juices flowing. Really it stems from him being sexually repressed. The fact that this guy had such extreme confidence AND a love for pastel ponies was what finally opened the gates to ultimate sexual fulfillment and pleasure. Assuming he didn't jump on the man in the parking lot and give up his virginity to him, he probably went home and masturbated furiously. It's typical of people with his condition.

Hes right you know. That's cadence's only relevant meme here anymore, and it has almost nothing to do with what little personality she has. I love the porn of her though.

not anymore. now her daughter has one as well.

>>30218103
Celestia has a nephew though: Blueblood.
Without any further data on their family tree or marriage status, Occam's razor dictates that the most likely parent for this nephew is Luna, as she is Celestia's only canon sibling, meaning the fewest assumptions are required to come to that conclusion. Cadence is simply the first to bear an alicorn child.
We already know that ponies can conceive children not of their species, or at least, Earth ponies can (inb4 cuck jokes), so it is not an takes fewer assumptions to to believe that Luna could conceive a non-alicorn child than to believe that she could not conceive a non-alicorn. She is part mudhorse. There is also proof that alicorns can in fact conceive, per Cadence. Thus, it is not an assumption to believe that the other three alicorns can conceive as well, contrary to the headcanon that the Celestia and Luna are sterile. Additionally, we know that, contrary to popular headcanon, Celestia and Luna were not born as alicorns, thanks to Celestia's choice words about there never having been an alicorn birth before, meaning that it takes fewer assumptions to reach the conclusion that there are no significant fundamental biological differences between Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight, apart perhaps from what species they originally were, which is irrelevant since they become a mix of all three.
In other words, you're wrong, anon.

>>30218157
Blueblood doesn't share no blood with Celestia
he's not a real nephew, he's just the descendant of the nobility from that windigo episode.
So, no, Celestia and luna are thousands of years old and still didn't conceive = infertile
Cadence is not even 30 and is ready to pump a second one out

No, I usually buy pony stuff online because of convenience, the exception is McDonalds toys in which I enjoy going to my local McDs and eating some food for nostalgic reasons

I always go in, ask for the girl Happy Meal while alone, and eat it in store.
Maybe I'm an edgy faggot for this but I enjoy whenever I get odd looks for it, I hate everyone from my home town and don't look like a stereotypical brony so I guess maybe that's why I don't feel embarrassed, but I don't mind being "that guy" for a few moments to some small town fucking losers
