There is a reason they call it fisti(cuffs)
 
I warn you, I have seen a few scraps in my day and I’ve fought the worst.

@cwiis
 
Things like that do go to teach…
 
And I’m reminded of it…

@BarryFromMars  
cool

Appearances don’t tell everything. On 25/July/2014 a guy opened a door for my Dad despite my mis-judgment of him which I didn’t say out loud.

Having gone to lots comic book, sci-fi/fantasy, furry and brony conventions, fen/fannish folks are as varied as humanity itself. Not everyone is going to be a looker. Frankly, the older you get the more one realizes it doesn’t matter. Like what you like.

@cwiis
 
That was the Tequila talking.

@Aponty  
Borny is a dinosaur from out imagination.

@Aponty  
are you in defense of those who judge others they’ve never met for liking a show they’ve never watched?
 
@Zennistrad  
what’s more unsightly is that any of us would distance ourselves from others on this same ride for falling short of being a pack of good looking male models dressed by fashion labels.
 
our image may be why we get so much shit, but how seriously can we take those who think someone is worth mockery or contempt for being ugly? or fat? or having a neckbeard? or wearing a certain hat?  
sure i’d also feel perturbed when someone thinks they know me because they know a stereotype, and the offense i’d take is little more than being called jack instead of john.  
my problem isn’t with our image, but with those who’d even believe the things people tell others about us without even getting to know us .
 
what is a fandom supposed to look like anyways?

@Pendejo  
engage me in fisticuffs, rapscallion

Think bronies are punks? Fight me! We’ll see who’s the punk.

Yeah, most of these people are awkward-looking highschoolers or college students. I looked the same way, and so did you.
 
That guy on the right tho… “pay attention to me!”

@Background Pony #7956
 
Call it shallow if you must, but there really is no denying that a lot of us are overly self-conscious about our image.

@Pendejo  
It’s less judging children and more judging whoever captioned this thing

how old is this picture though

They’re all just kids!
 
Quit judging children.

@Background Pony #7956  
who said anything about shame
 
it’s just that it’s damn stupid to integrate a fandom label into your personal identity
 
and that goes for anything
 
 
stamp collector pride 4LYFE WOOOOOOO

@Aponty  
enjoy your self-shame if it makes you feel safe from being shamed by someone else, maybe it’ll appease those who relentlessly give us grief

@Zennistrad
 
@cwiis  
shallowly?

Are we choosing our champions right now?

Like this  

OMG you guys, there are men who like ponies! Isn’t that WACKY?! Doesn’t that SHOCK YOU?!
 
Guys?
 
Hello?

It just kind of looks awkward, and we don’t really like that stereotype.
