Okay here's a random thought: how cool if there was a pony version of The Stanley Parable?

Pinkie would have a field day if she was the narrator or subject.

So my internet killed itself for awhile, so I made this as an apology to everypony here.

Ok I was just really really really bored, but take it anyways.

Spoiler

It made me happy anyways.

What started off as a modest goal of $20000 (that was met in like just 2 days too)

http://www.kickstart...the-documentary

Ended with a whopping $322022!! Holy fucking shit this fandom never ceases to surprise me. And just the fact that 6 people actually gave $10000...god damn. Well with over 16 times more money than they'd originally planned I imagine that this will be some pretty high quality shit. I wonder exactly what they will show in it. I trust that the staff know what they're doing, John De Lancie, Tara Strong, Lauren Faust and whoever else.

I watched a few minutes of it and I cringed to be honest, I don't know why I did either.


EDIT: Okay now I know why, this video will probably do more harm than good, maybe the real "Brony" documentary will show the fan base in a better light but it would probably just lead to more backlash.

I can't really be bothered to watch the entire thing... Worst I saw were a few stereotypical nerds here and there and a couple of parts that kinda creeped me out like the guy singing at the beginning... Does it get worse as it goes on?

Yeah I think that is it as well, I am really glad I don't get too obsessed with things like I used or that I am more self-concious about it, nowadays.

Yes the guy at the end is pretty.... defensive.

I do get obsessed, but I wont really proclaim my love for anything I just enjoy it like I would anything else I love. Admittedly, My Little Pony's probably the most obsessive I've ever gotten in a fanbase, but I don't really let it blind me from anything else that I enjoy.

Like I said before, whenever I use the term "obsession," it's different than what it usually means. I would call it a mood for (Whatever i'm a fan of) than a true obsession.

I just wish more people would treat it for what it is... a damn good TV show and nothing more. And my friend wonders why I never want to go to conventions (of any kind) with him.

[King Sombrero]

Personally I'll wait for the real 1/3 million dollar documentary. That dislike bar isn't looking very attractive and it seems that even the fandom is backlashing too in the comments. I can't be bothered to sit through more of what may be like BPH or the mcdonald's unboxing(at least he apologized) what goes on here? It seems like a typical convention of insanity...

That is it, but people seem to go way beyond that, basing nearlyall their other interests around it. Not just in this fandom but others there is a funny quote from the movie Seven that reminds me of these kinds of people.

"I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you can help me out, yeah? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how fucking crazy I really am!"? Yeah. Do you guys do that?".

The part of that video that frightened me the most was the part that showed the voice actors. I have a ton of respect for them and even more now watching them being able to interact with those people and do it happily and with a smile. I realize it's something that goes with the territory of being a part of something with a huge fan base, but I'd just love to hear some of their (the voice actors) conversations with each other AFTER the conventions.

The good news is that the video probably does show the minority of the fan base, as crazy as it is. I still remember that one convention video where a fan drew a picture of Celestia for her voice actress, Nicole Oliver and how overjoyed she was by receiving it and even gave the guy a hug. Now that's what I like to see from the fan base.

Well, to be fair, MLP is a toy franchise that has a really damn good TV show to go along with it now; there's definitely something fun and addictive about collecting various figurines, cards, and other pieces of merchandise related to the things that interest you (I would be lying if I said I didn't have a small MLP collection right now). There's also some fun to be had in going to events related to your interests, however if the conventions don't suit your fancy then you don't have to go.

However, the world is filled with crazies, and some of them are bound to be interested in the things that interest you whether it be sports, movies, toys, cartoons, etc. It's like an unwritten law of life at this point
