Most people don't make threads on the forums just to ask what others think of them. Besides I can't say I've ever seen him make a post I found particularly mature.
And ftr there are plenty of people that still look at gamers in just a negative light as you look at bronies. If I play a computer games then I must be an anti-social troll living in my parents basement working at mcdonalds right? Your just assuming the worse of another fandom which makes you look completely ignorant in turn. I have to admit I absolutely hate when people try and give bullshit explanations as towards why people enjoy the things they do even when its obvious they have never actually bothered to think about it.
Anyways sorry for going OT, I'll make this my last unrelated post.
Haha, you call me ignorant then say "Anyway, this is my last unrelated post"? That's a bit cheap, young lady.
Here's a little Derpy type post...
First of all, I didn't actually say that adult MLP fans are all anti-social and unfulfilled. What I said was, "I wonder". Why do you hate it when people make observations? You've just told me that Derpy posted a thread asking what people think of him. Maybe the poor little guy has some self esteem issues, and being part of the cult of MLP helps him take his mind off it, makes him feel part of something bigger, gives him purpose. And instead of helping him, all you want to do is call him out for it. You should be ashamed of yourself, young lady.
Second of all, I don't think you can compare gaming to MLP. A more fitting comparison would maybe be people who enjoy video games vs people who enjoy TV shows. These days, most people can appreciate games. You even get the odd pensioner who enjoys the Wii.
