Click Reply to view Anonymous 06/02/12(Sat)15:07 No.2319971 "F-----" is a term of endearment here on 4chan. Why do you think we call drawfags and writefags that? At the same time it's self-demeaning humor, which in certain amounts is very healthy for a community Anonymous 06/02/12(Sat)15:07 No.2319975 4chan has a history of using the suffix -f-- in a non-insulting context. If you'd been here very long at all, you'd already know this Therefore, ponyfag comes to refer to the fans of the show who want to distance themselves from the kind of autists who get involved with the "brony stereotype, being attracted to that word and it's connotations of acceptance and not-social-retardedness Also, 4chan fanbases, while having their flaws, tend to be atleast slightly less childish and more cynical than most other fanbases, which appeals to people who want to feel more 'mature' than bronies So yes, hipsterism has something to do with it. But it's mostly 4chan refusing to indulge in outright public humiliation Anonymous 06/02/12(Sat)15:08 No.2319998 2319975 >hipsterism has something to do with it No, Hipsterism has EVERYTHING to do with it In reality, Ponyfag is just a brony who frequents /mlp/ and 4chan in general Anonymous 06/02/12(Sat)15:15 No.2320086 Ok, so if someone who enjoy's MLP comes up to me and asks if Im a brony, I'm not going to say "No, I'm a ponyfag". That just makes me look stupid Anonymous 06/02/12(Sat)15:15 No.2320093 >being insulted by the word f----- It's a word, and especially on 4chan you just identify yourself as "_fag

I love how 'cynicism' is equated to 'maturity.'
As if only a naive child could believe in humans treating each other with respect.
A healthy dose of cynicism is good for keeping you from being duped and manipulated, but too much makes you a pariah unable to trust or talk to anyone.
It's called balance and moderation, people.

@Fifths
Actually, he's always claimed that (at least back to a few months ago when he started all this crap).
He said he likes the show but hates the fans.
How he posted this from beyond the proverbial grave is beyond me though…
