Wow, just as I thought of making a rant topic about it, I found it was already a subject. Thanks, Ninja :3
Speaking of the subject now. Were they the ponies? OH YES! My summary.
This comes from a guy whose sister used to bring up pony episodes on YT, while I lied dormant in my two storey bed, taking the higher storey. In front of my lovely 1360x768 monitor, lied that two storey bed. So to speak, because I had nothing to do, and because that's my behaviour usually with YT and other videos overall, and not with a certain toon of all toons, I think I watched "A Canterlot Wedding" and "Equestria Girls". Now, these are two specials. OK. Now, how different are they than most Barbie plots I saw with my sis as well? Yet it seems like the ponies get all the love for some reason.
Very well. Its the viral insanity the internet deals with the ponies that makes me insane.
Every unrelated Doctor Who thread every fortnight, has to have ponies. Every time I open up deviantART, I see a pony whether on my main page or on my friends watch (I unwatch non-friends this way). Every single website has to have the image of a pony. Goddamit why ponies of all characters. And there was the geek week done involving them on YT.
Fine enough, so I decided to complain about how its infesting the internet everywhere like a zombie disease or something like that, and how the community helps me hate it even more. Only thing the community did is basically complain about me complaining.
Worst offender is that Doctor Who thread on SEGA Forums. So now we should put ponies on even threads to unrelated shows? Dammit. I complain again about how its infecting that too, only for them to complain about me even more with their flawed vision. In the end, I got the 24 hour suspension.
Well, there's a much bigger offender. One of my former friends on TTFF, yes, unfriended me cause I didn't listen to one of his flawed technological advice, and also because I kept complaining about darn ponies and iOS. But wait, he always mocked Samsung.
There's another situation where even freaking Valve added a TF2 hat listed as an MLP hat on the author's tumblr. I could not take this move and complained yet again, about how MLP is infestive and even TF2 is falling to it. I met the trolls on the way, the "who cares its a hat" trolls, and also the "grow up and breathe some fresh air" trolls. Little did I meet sane bronies on the way. LITTLE.
Then they come and say "Hey! What you met was the minority! Don't blame the majority for what the minority does!" Very well. If its a minority, then why is it too easy to find, just by well, it finding you? Why can't the good majority you speak of find me by itself? The sane guys are the minority, the trolls are the majority.
I was just almost nearly becoming a closet brony, with no intentions of watching anything in anything, just to keep my chest off of it. Then more immature encounters ended me up being an anti-brony. I could stare at the show while eating breakfast just like I did with any other show that aired during breakfast, as a show for little girls, until the internet asked me to do what was needed to be done.
Using extensions, I blocked pony related keywords on Chrome and Firefox, and will be happy to have a YT keyword hider if I even can find one, and the Equestria Girls file I have on my computer, which I caught myself by the way, had now became write only (will grant you an error if you try to view it.) That because of these above situations, and more encounters that I could list later. Not just that, but I freaking close whatever thing that has a pony the instant it comes up. I would run outside the room if there's too much to close. I simply can't handle it. I still can't forget it either, even by watching anime, a kind of media I once hated (now I only hate Naruto and Conan, and sports anime).
All that writing was simply on the subject of MLP. But I doubt the internet will change anything for me. It will simply shove more ponies on us until it makes me thrive to look for that one forum that is MLP-free.
OOOOOH! This needs attention. It was posted on a Steam thread against that MLP hat. Its now deleted sadly.

This pony play was held at an intersection within my local mall approximently 2 months ago at the end of summer. It was advertised in the newspaper and my little sister took interest in it. My parents asked me to take her and I agreed. Before that I have seen many brony arguments and demands for power over other media but when they are accused of such thing "They are all trolls" or "my fanbase is full of A-holes". I took it.
When I took my sister there, there were no females. Only male teens, or men around 20-30, wearing hoodies with ponies faces on them and fabric wings or horns stuck onto them. A few were holding signs with the MLP FiM title written on it. They were crowded around a stand shouting pony names at the actors setting it up. When I tried to take my sister for a closer look some started swearing at her calling her a "Baby B**ch" and claiming she was the reason bronies looked bad. Many around them cried "its too manly for little girls" and pleeded her to "gtfo". My sister being on the autistic spectrum did not understand what they meant but I knew something was completely wrong. More and more gathered infront of her, a few threw scrunched paper, the rest just watched. After about a minute one jabbed a sign at her forehead and she started crying for my mother. They laughed at her. I felt an extreme hatred for bronies in my mind and picked up my little sister and fled.
