Hey guys, OP here. I haven’t been paying attention to this thread for a long time now, but I recently decided to check it out again, and I can’t say I like the direction it’s been going over the past few years. It seems like half the discussion has become nihilistic ranting about how “this fandom is awful now” or “bronies are horrible people”, while the other half has become people taking things too seriously and immaturely arguing with each other, ironically turning the thread into the very thing it’s supposed to be against. With the latter going on for the past several pages now, and being politically-charged at that, I have a feeling the thread’s going to get locked soon if I don’t do something about it. Therefore, I have added new rules to the original post. Please read them before you decide to post here. If you don’t follow the rules, I will report you to a staff member.

Perhaps it was an op from the RDN (no, the other RDN)’s master baiter contest or a channer. Since it’s a background pony beating a dead horse in both threads, it’s a 50/50 shot of it being an outsider to both boorus. The staff here have been known to tell off registered users who stir shit while using the BP checkbox before.

The new rules against this should clean up this thread immensely. Yes, it’ll slow down activity here, but it’ll also mean that notifications about new posts in this thread will be for actual cringe (or drama, like there’s a difference anymore these days). Getting a notification for “this fandom has a serious gatekeeping problem” with no further links or citations wastes everyone’s attention. I wanted to popcorn-munch and/or rubberneck.
See you all when the next page of Fix is uploaded and attracts 200 comments within an hour.

Ok, putting aside the fact that you randomly attacked me for whatever reason, you do realize that talking about the cringe within this fandom is bound to involve politics at some point, right?
It’s basically inescapable when it comes to this type of discussion, and what you’re doing here is basically just being a gatekeeper.

Gatekeeping is necessary to keep threads on-topic. Unlike the infinitely-nested threads of Reddit, linear topics on Philomena boorus (and classic phpBB forums) need to be tended so that responses to an off-hand comment (or troll) don’t choke out on-topic conversation.
Of course, politics are highly likely to appear in a thread about cringe. However, there is a major difference between posting a link in this thread captioned “hey look at this comic where the author goes on a rant that would make Ayn Rand proud” and a background pony then responding to that post with their claims of superhuman hearing that allow them to decode the dog whistles in that rant therefore making it more or less cringy than the OP claimed. The first scenario points out that a political screed in the middle of a clop comic is cringe AF without requiring you to read the screed, while the second is an attempt to litigate the cringiness based on the contents of the message and, as @Background Pony #4166 said, “is boring AF”.

can we put the political talk to rest now please?
Going on for pages talking/arguing about politics is how the last brony cringe thread got locked and i don’t think people want a repeat.
We already have a politics thread if people want to talk about politics in the fandom

I always thought its lockdown had less to do with politics, and more the fact that the last few pages were just bashing Tara Strong.
Because personal opinions on her recent actions aside, it really had nothing to do with the thread as a whole.

It’s not just your specific fetish with weirdos. In the realm of piss pics, you’ll find plenty of registered users begging the artist for diaper and fart edits. Unlike the hoof fetishists you encountered, none of them have yet taken the initiative to make their own unauthorized edits.

Jesus I did not expect the thread to get a little crazy. Looks like it’s under control now.
