and we are still doing it over here as well after all these periods of inactivity.

>It's just so weird when I see people leave pony but maintain interesting in several other fandoms at once.
stigma for the most part. For example, you could be a freak in the 90s or 00s and be a fan of video games, leave them and join into a soccer club or the cool group of friends because those trends were more socially acceptable. Of course, many people were stuck with the geek stuff but the stigma was there.

But this will happen with many things really, just that on the internet...well, nothing is obscure anymore and MLP, while not accepted, I would say that if one looks a little bit into it (even the wikipedia article or comments on youtube; whatever that tackles a little bit the matter), anyone can realize that adults follow it...there is not much mystery beyond that. Everyone was caught off guard with gen 4 back in 2010 but I think that, among the internet circles at least, anyone gets surprised by MLP. Besides, trends come and go, one will have to appreciate and take care those who are into it for real and not just for the hype.

>I disagree on G4 being postmodern, but that would be opening up a can of worms that would require some digging on a few Pdfs I saved some years ago.
that´s a pretty bold statement and interesting to read as well. Many shots may be fired if you bring it up but at least, the board would get a little bit spicy with that topic. As long as I find the reasoning defensible and I get where that standpoint comes from, I won´t have a problem with that statement...but still, everything should be put into question,especially for a show which is interpreted according to personal opinions and not scientific interpretations.

>You are not a fish, you're a human from somewhere or a carrot

you know, more than the statement itself, I smiled for a litte while after reading this because I realized that we are both recurrent shitposters on a backwater board that doesn´t follow the label "dead board" in the same way as many people among the chans consider at first glance. It´s pretty funny to think that this board can be like...one entire month inactive and then, in a single night, you get 50-60 posts and end up in the top 10.
