As I said before I really liked the phrase 'love and tolerance', even when people said 'I'm going to love and tolerate the shit of you'. Again, it just felt like hey, this is a good way to combat back against people who hate the fans or the show. You're not saying 'COCKSUCKING MOTHERFUCKER' you're saying, 'okay, I'll tolerate your opinion'.
But rarely anyone follows it. I don't care about the love part, even though the more I go on the more I do love rabid haters and rabid fans because they're a good source of amusement, but really.
Is it that hard to tolerate other people's opinions?
I've seen this against fellow fans and rabid haters. One fan wouldn't stop crowing about his view of a certain character and why his view was right and sensible and if anyone else had a different view their opinions are absolute poppycock.
And of course it always goes to the people who hate on the fandom. Just actually love and tolerate them, guys - it'll make the fandom seem less awful, and the more you scream at the haters the more satisfaction they get.
In that sense, if you also preach 'don't feed the parasprites' actually follow it unless you're capable of trolling them back in a rather amusing manner.
Just follow what you constantly preach if you don't just use it as a meme. Love and tolerate the people who hate the show and hate the fandom; the latter if they're completely unable to see that the whole fandom is not like what they think.
In fact, I've rarely actually gone up to someone and tried to explain to them about the fandoms. That's just for my stamps. The most I've ever said was 'please don't try to bunch us all up into a big ol' group of awful' off my stamps. c:
If it doesn't just make them uncomfortable and cause them to go away, it'll piss them the hell off and you can see them act just like the sort of fans they despise. Either way, it's win-win, right?
You expect me to love and tolerate those on the caliber of brony genocide, or insulting the intelligence of those that were killed in terrorist attacks, or those that are ignorant idiots that don't know what a brony is, yet bash it without knowing what they're really like?
Think of an icon with a small blue-haired anime character... While not necessarily supports genocide, but DOES support getting rid of bronies... And had such an impact that the Brony Security Network had to be created.
(You expect me to love and tolerate WHAT??)
There IS one other sadist I can direct you to... I'm not sure if you'd want to see him.
His icon is a robot/Transformer.
Don't tolerate genocide
But tolerate somewhat different opinions
While not necessarily supports genocide, but DOES support getting rid of bronies...
And had such an impact that the Brony Security Network had to be created.
