Lessons from bronies: Removing ableist stereotypes is intolerant!
Remember the backlash when an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic portrayed fan-favorite Ditzy/"Derpy" as "humorously" mentally challenged? Well, the concerns were heard, and the voice changed!

Aaaaand now some bronies are crying "ruined FOREVER!". To the tune of "not liking our insensitivity is intolerant!"

So, everyone who can now watch the clip without cringeing, you're harshing someone's squee, and that's terrible.

I'm sorry, my post was harsh (I'm damn pissed at these "people"). It's quite likely there's also a whole lot of gender policing (since, as you said, they are the very people that hate women that don't roll around when a man says so) going on.

I just noticed the transphobia more. I get plenty of the gender essentialism IRL (being gay, so not wanting to fuck a dude often gets pretty nasty stuff), I just mostly felt this was mainly transphobia, with a side dish of all the other shit flung at females daring to defy a brony.

After all, male opinion >>>> female opinion.

Homosexuals... oppress and attack heterosexuals... okay, WHAT.

Apparently, us icky homos are more violent and scary than heteros, who have it so hard with all the evil PC policing going on. Apparently, all heterosexuals are constantly oppressed by that.

Well you're doing a pretty poor job of oppression, I must say. If you want to catch up to how good so very, very many straight men are at oppressing heterosexuals, you're gonna have to put in some overtime. Though I still don't know if you'll ever catch up. I mean, how can you compete with hundreds of years (lowballing it) of straight rich guys oppressing pretty much everyone else? Just catching up to Rick Santorum's gonna take some really concerted effort!

	LOl, that made me laugh, thanks. Needed that in the morning! Santorum really is a good measuring stick, isn't he. Only thing he's good for, really. Even I know about him, and I'm from Euroland. Guess I'll have to start with the overtime then. Maybe I'll oppress some straight dudes while shopping. (Reply to this)(Parent)
