#shotsfired on Fort Tumblr, as the Confederate Equestrian States have seceded from the fandom, in an effort to create a new fandom, unaffiliated with the Bronies. Confurriate General "Stonewall" Pawsmilk captured Fort Tumblr 9 hours ago with an army of over 3000 notes, enough to take the tiny segment of the Brony nation with it. Word eventually reached fandom headquarters in Washington EQD via telegraph.
President Sethisto Lincoln has responded to the secession by stating that "A fandom divided against itself cannot stand", shortly before returning to playing League of Legends and letting his Generals handle the rest.
The State of GCC was among the revolting separatists, joined by the State of CatFoodMcFly, noting
that the "New Fandom" made from pieces of the old, was a "super idea" and promising to "bring the porn".
Notorious alcoholic General Ulysses S. Capper of the founding colonies of /b/ and /co/ has begun marching brony troops into the Tumblr states to enforce the "Emancipation of Clopulation", in which President Sethisto has ordered all of the pornography in the rebelling states to be freed and returned to the fandom.
Rumor has it that the Brony Army is promising "40 upvotes and a mule" to every clop-artist that volunteers to fight the rebel cause.
Meanwhile, more and more rebels join the separatist's cause, citing that they don't like the way some groups are behaving, and despite their behavior isn't being directly imposed upon them, they still feel threatened by it, and believe they would be better off on their own.
The Separatists, with their newly elected Confederate president
Journalists and leaders throughout the fandom have criticized the separatist's actions as being fruitless and childish, as there are no true borders between fans, and the community could never support such a disharmonious relationship. Battle cries of "Deaths to the Separatists" have been heard throughout the community.
Still others point out that the idea is just flat-out stupid.
Many citizens of the rebelling nations do not personally wish to secede from the fandom, but will fight only to fit in with their home community.
Analysts predict a victory for the Brony nation over the separatists, due to their overwhelming resources and abundance of logic supplies.
The fact that toxic has rather arbitrary meaning is all that needs to be said. This is remarkbly dumb,this is all something to make people feel good about themselves when "brony" was just a silly term as shorthand term for saying you were a fan of the show.
ReplyDeleteAlso Props for the Civil war references.
I can't tell if they're serious, they know the south lost the war right?
DeleteHistory shall repeats itself
DeleteAnon @22:20
DeleteTHE SEPARATISTS SHALL FALL!!!
1.How are cloppers anything like slaves?
Delete2.The cloppers can take all the clopfics they need, I don't want them.
3. FUCK YEAH APPLEJACK.
inb4 no one outside the fandom cares
ReplyDeleteinb4 the people you're avoiding will join the "new" fandom anyway
inb4 new new fandom is created
inb4 new new new fandom is created
I wish to bludgeon the asses of anybody who dares join said "new fandom".
DeleteWell, no, but people are almost certainly going to troll the living fuck out of them.
DeleteThis hiatus is going to be fun.
I agree ^^ Want some popcorn?
DeleteHell, I'm in the fandom, and I don't care!
DeleteI like the idea of a new fandom, there I said it, what are you going to do, troll me hack me, beat me up?
DeleteTry it, somehow I don't think you actually can.
inb4 I hate you Anonymous guy
ReplyDeleteinb4 fedoras
This fandom doesn't wear fedoras, they wear Trilbys. Fedoras are actually cool.
DeleteI don't know which is worse, the fact that I actually know what the difference between a Trilby and a Fedora is, or the fact I'm actually care enough about it to say the anon ahead of me is right, and that the vast majority of the internet is wrong.
Delete...
Probably the first one, though.
A trilby is a type of fedora you fucktards.
DeleteBoth are still hideously fugly hats. Rara knows what's what. We be rockin' tricorns for twilicorn!
DeleteA trilby is NOT a type of fedora. Indiana Jones wears a fedora. Trilbys are lame
DeleteTrilbys and Fedoras are mainstream... I wear Stetsons .3.
DeleteWhat ever happened to the ball cap?
DeleteI don't wear hats.
DeleteFEZZES ARE COOL! THE WHOVIANS JOIN THE BATTLE!
DeleteThis is pretty stupid, but I've been wrong before.
ReplyDeleteIt could get stupider.
tfw this sounds too similar to the parody name from that Bob's Burgers episode.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should start calling them Equesticles from now on. Seems appropriate.
DeleteSeriously. Amazing work Ren.
DeleteLol that's exactly what I thought of when I read this too. Plus, this is one of the stupidest things I've heard. Ever. Why the hell do you need to change the name? Its still the same fandom, no matter what its called. We share a common interest in ponies, and if there isn't a dividing difference between equestrians and bronies, then... What the hell. Why not just make another name for bronies. Call it "Clopfags." and another named "Lyra holes." and another named "Octavians" (for musicians.)
DeleteReminds me of the "Trekkies" "Trekkers" non-issue. they both like Star Trek so who cares about the difference?
DeleteSee Burned Furs of the Furry Fandom you guys are catching up fast.
ReplyDeleteAll I see is tumblr being buttfuck retarded as usual.
ReplyDeleteDid someone say fandom war?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYzRbdHvb3s
How about we now call ourselves horsefuckers? That's genderneutral.
ReplyDeleteSee, that's what these people don't understand, the toxic part of the fandom already did the splitting off, they are now the horsefuckers.
DeleteWe bronies are still the same as ever.
> calling horsefuckers "toxic"
DeleteGo back to EqD.
> calling horsefuckers normal
DeleteGo back to your dark corner of the internet
(fyi all other bronies are awesome, I am NOT attacking the fandom pleasedon'thateme)
10/10 would history again
ReplyDeleteThis is it. It's here. This is the culmination of all the bullshit recently. We have reached the top of the ride and can see the entire park.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so fucking stupid.
Welcome to summer. Please leave your common sense and your waifu dakimakura at the door.
DeleteSome people would have you think that the toxic part of the fandom, the bronies, NEVER go anywhere without their waifu dakimakura.
DeleteI really hate tumblr. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteLet me introduce you to my new, three shades of dark red & black alicorn OC with bright green eyes: Total War!
ReplyDeleteI humbly offer my poor quality clop drawing skills to the cause. Direct my fire, commander.
ReplyDeleteAdd horsecocks and crotchboobs to the pony mouthpiece images.
DeleteTHERE IS FAR TOO MUCH FUCKING PORN. Porn is basically the one bad thing about being a brony,it's clopppers and rabid bronies, not haters that are destroying this fandom. I love the content and music as much as the next brony but I can't miss a chance to escape the label "horsefucker". VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
DeleteLet us use the heat of our atomic love to melt the special snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteYes, and then we shall salt the earth as the Romans did Carthage so that no fan shall bear witness again the spaghetti to be told of in stories for generations to come.
DeleteA rebellion in the fandom?
ReplyDeleteDiscord_-_I'm_gonna_need_more_popcorn.mp4
Derp"mum i'm not longer a brony! i'm an equestrian!"
ReplyDeleteMum"what's that?"
Derp"uh it's basically the same thing without porn"
Mum"how long do you think it'll be before there is porn of it?"
Derp"not long"
Mum"what's the point?"
Derp"uh...... I'M AN INDIVIDUAL I DO WHAT I WANT"
Utterly pointless it's like "we're doing something different, by doing the exact same thing everyone else is doing!"
"we're doing something different, by doing the exact same thing everyone else is doing!"
DeleteWell isn't that just super meta.
Exactly. This whole idea is completely stupid. Is this just a group of Non-Cloppers? They don't have to "leave" the fandom for that reason!
DeleteThis isn't the dumbest thing to come out of the fandom, but it's a competitor. You gotta love Tumblr sometimes. They're just so precious.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HeZtFH1Trg
ReplyDeletealright, good luck with that, person-who-put-it-together.
ReplyDeleteOh great... I can't wait for this to be over.
ReplyDelete"Why not use 'Equrstrians'?" Because that word already has a definition :-/
ReplyDeleteWhile I can see why people may want a more gender-neutral word, this mostly just strikes me as rampant hipster-ism.
Seriously, people? Season 4 just ended 3 weeks ago and we already need to manufacture some kind of controversy to pass the time? No fandom is ever going to be perfect, and we bronies are no exception. The "separatists" do seem to have some good ideas - i.e. gender neutrality and minimizing the role that hardcore clop plays in the mainstream image of the fandom - but these are things we should be (and, I think, have been) striving towards as a GROUP.
ReplyDeleteHow about saying something like: "Hey, maybe we could use 'Equestrians' as a new gender neutral term for bronies/pegasisters! Also, let's try to be a better fandom in these specific ways!"
Instead of: "We don't want to be associated with you toxic people anymore! Let's make our own fandom - without blackjack or hookers!"
*sigh* What is wrong with this fandom? We started out as a few trolls on 4chan and now were starting a Civil War? I thought there would be better things to come up with before Season 5 started. Come on guys.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with all this "gender neutrality" crap? Most of the Pegasisters call themselves Bronies anyway. And the whole thing about changing the stereotype "Brony" from being a clopper to just a fan of the show will never work. THE WORLD THINK'S WERE WEIRD ENOUGH ANYWAY FOR WATCHING AN 8-YEARS OLD'S TV SHOW. NO AMOUNT OF CONVINCING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT.
On one hand, the idea is stupid beyond reason. On another, this was fun to read. Part of me worried this would actually become a thing (let's face it, a majority of idiots exist) but the logical side of me thought "Let the kids try and watch them fail. Sure bronies will look even dumber to the outside world all summer, but the problem will dissolve itself."
ReplyDeleteYou can't stop toxicity by moving away. As long as there are people, there will be negativity. No group is an exception.
History tells us of a time when buttfuck retarded people did not think ill of a term used to signify being in a fandom. History tells us of a time when all fans would agree to disagree about Best Princess and Best Pony. History also tells us of a time when friendship was true magic. History is in the past. Now we stand here today, facing a tragic event to add to history, as everypony picks sides and turns against age old friends. "Unite or die" ~ Benjamin Frankhoof
ReplyDelete"Equestrian" is a term used to describe a professional horse rider/obsessed horse lover. I think this would cause confusion and, if a new fandom is to be started, it should defiantly be called something else.
ReplyDeleteHow about Equesticles?
DeleteThis is just stupid there is no reason for a "new fandom". and some how i get the feeling its the non cloppers trying to distance them selves from the "perverted cloppers". i think this is gunna die out quickly
ReplyDeleteThis is the most idiotic and unnecessary thing that I've ever heard of. It's just a kids show! This whole fandom doesn't need a "civil war"! What happened to love and tolerate? I understand that some bronies want to not relate themselves to the cloppers and those people ; but if that's all that you want, then just don't pay attention to it. Basically, this defiantly wont last very long.
ReplyDelete"cloppers" are not the problem. its the holier than thou "non-cloppers" who try to police everything they see as "harmful"
DeleteThis definitely makes no sense: there is already another term for the toxic part of the fandom (cloppers), and the term brony is gender neutral because: the term came from /b/ pony, and even if it was bro+pony there is a rule in the Bro Code (search through it, I don't remember which one) that the word bro is gender neutral.There is no need to divide the fandom.
ReplyDeletethe cloppers? really? thats what you think is the toxic part? not the judgmental douche bags like you?
DeleteWell. Kinda, yeah. *sounds judgy and douchy, but there you have it*
Delete^^^ And people like this is why we can't have nice things.
DeleteIt's not judgemental if you have good reasons to back you up
Delete(wow, I sound so much like a hater)
This doesn't change anything, you'll still find the so called "toxic" things your trying to get away from on the internet it wont go away.
ReplyDeleteJust say you watch the show don't make a whole new fandom, you can just say you don't relate to the things you don't want to be included with, and don't pay attention to it, stop being stupid people seriously.
it literally stays "ill bring the porn." what are they running from?
DeleteDEATH TO THE SEPARATISTS!
ReplyDeleteYou know, every fandom has different communities. The focus and people on one site is different from another. No reason to call it a new fandom, just a new community. Come on guys, love and tolerate.
ReplyDeleteCome on, guys, what's this show and fandom about? It's about love and tolerance. You have to tolerate some things other bronies do, you don't have to split up from them. And what about Rainbow Dash's element? It's loyalty. What has this show been teaching us? Why did this fandom even exist? And if you cannot truly love and tolerate then you are not a true fan of the show.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Seriously?!
ReplyDelete...Seriously.
This happened to the furries back in the 90s. History is repeating itself. Didn't work out then. Why would it work now?
ReplyDeleteReally? you're gonna compare bronies and furries? is this what the fandom has become?
Deletethen I guess it's to to go...
BACK TO THE CLOSET!
People seem to make the show difficult enough to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou know damn well what's going to happen to that mule.
ReplyDeleteThe Empire will not stand for such treason! Stamp the rebels out!
ReplyDeletei feal like it's just annother branch of the communauté
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what is going on with the "eqeustirans", because they appear to have the seem values that the bronies do. And how is the brony community (of which I am apart of) toxic? Yes, I know there is gory art and stories and pornagraphic art and stories, but every fandom has that. What makes the mlp fandom any different?
ReplyDeleteIn oher fandoms, porn creators and sick fanfic writers are a minority, they are not well known. In the brony fandom, they are so accpeted that most outsiders see all bronies as sick horsefuckers. I know a lot of people will say "ZOMG, we have a right to clop you can't judge us!!!" and if you are like that, fine. Have your weird twisted fantasies about having sex with or brutally murdering non-existent cartoon horses. Just keep it on your side of the internet don't spread the stigma onto bronies who just want to analyse, make music or watch the show in peace.I know I sound judgemental, but yeah, furries and cloppers creep me out and if that stopped, this fandom would get a lot more respect.
Delete(prepares for imminent rage of rabid bronies)
Like the picture said it, Dakota North and South... Every bronies are different so why would you fight for get the same thing on both sides?...
ReplyDeleteFor one I tried changing the Brony name to Equestrian (Didn't work one bit considering I didn't know at the time that there was already a definition: Equestrians are people who race and caretake horses). 2) Other people will not view us any different if we change our name they will still think of us that way. 3) And if your that butthurt over clop thinking its one of the main contributers you may be more shallow than thought cause no matter what fandom there will still be R34. 4) In accordance with #3 and any other form of art in the fandom you should accept everypony for who they are otherwise your just trying to destroy the fandom by taking away one of the messages (even by doing this your taking away the main 2 messages we mean to spread as a fandom) we are supposed to share, what gave this fandom meaning and to why its lasted for as long as it has been when you take that out your just being a hypocrite and not loving (THAT WILL DESTROY A FANDOM)
