postcrusade-mod worries me.

He’s 17 and is already buying into the misogynist ideas of bronies and drawing child pornography.

2 years ago, I was 15 and proud to call myself a brony. Everyone who was all about the ponies called themselves that on DeviantArt, and tons of other places. It was literally just a pet name for a person in the fandom. And it still holds true today.

Except here. On Tumblr.

Excuse me for being a little skeptical of the seriousness of whatever the hell is happening on this walled-in website. I’m just so used to “brony” just being a dumb name, and since there’s so little drama OUTSIDE of it. OUTSIDE of Tumblr, people are still being introduced to the fandom, given greetings and shown around the big sites and blogs and making friends. Just like the fandom, and many others, has always done!

That’s it! I’m not pandering to assholes or denying any malpractice! I’m just pointing out a little factoid!

Jesus Christ, I know you’re a little worried, but please just ease up a bit! I’m not slowly converting into some fuck with no respect towards women. When have I ever implied that?!

As for that child porn comment, well, I’m not even gonna argue ‘cause I bet you’ve heard the same old argument and have rejected them.

But just in case: Fake horses DOES NOT EQUAL real and abused children. I absolutely HATE sexual abuse and rape and would never even THINK about drawing something like that!

Bottom line is, don’t fucking worry about me. I’m not going to the dark side.
