[Arachno-capitalist]

/Animal behaving badly.

[greenkoolayd]

even if that cat could read it would still be as aloof about relaxing in that spot.

I love this. 

[Bobby Isosceles]

I have NO fuck*ng idea.

My Little Pony is... bad and it should feel bad?

My Little Pony is... bad and it should feel bad?

All right, I've done some research and this is what I can seem to gather:

There is a special subculture of Bronies that worship something called a Fluffy Pony. From what I can gather, a Fluffy Pony is an infantile, weak, stupid, "kawaii" version of a My Little Pony, but in practice more like a retarded guinea pig. As they originated on 4chan, they only eat spaghetti. 4chan-style greentext stories are written about their misadventures. There are two camps of Fluffy Ponyists: hugboxers, who make art (I used this term loosely) that involves them being cuddled, and abusefags, who believe they should be horribly abused (thrown against the wall, legs broken, etc). I don't know why Megatron is involved.

These folks are looked down upon by Bronies, which is like saying that furries look down upon juggalos or whatnot.

To sum up, everyone in this autistic sub-sub-sub-subculture is a horrible sociopath and/or nutjob and should be discouraged from breeding.

I browse the worst parts of the Internet so that you don't have to.

I should also point out that as nutty as this is, this is still less aspie than Homestuck.

Hey Bobby, could you please stop using the words autistic and aspie as insults? It was maybe funny the first sixty or seventy times, but now it's just retarded.

I see what you did there!

'preciate it.

People being on the autism spectrum is not a joking thing.

However.

I must admit that Asperger's is a terribly unfortunate name for a disorder and I'll every once in a while have to stifle a giggle at it.

Not because a disability is a laughing matter but because there was just not enough thought put into choosing the name and it makes the little boy in me want to chuckle.

It would be kind of like if there was a horrible cancer and the doctor who discovered it was Polynesian and his name was Dr. Pupukahkah.

It would not be funny that people were dying of a horrible disease but it's still kind of reflexively funny that it is called Pupukahkah's Lymphoma.

Like... maybe, just to not confuse the issue, it should be named after Dr. Pupukahkah's patient Steve Anderson instead. Or his assistant Susan Jones. Or something strictly scientific.

I'm just saying.

We have to consider these things. That is a really unfortunate name for a disability. They should rename it after another person involved with the study of the disease or maybe, like, a famous person who is dealing with it in his or her life or something. Not a doctor with that silly a name.

Well, in my defense, I'm not using autist or aspie as a perjorative. I am actually saying that the people into Fluffy Ponies clearly have an autism spectrum disorder. This is pretty indisputable. It's not like the autism is making them Fluffy Ponyists. Plenty of people with HFA or Asperger's lead Fluffy-free lives.

[jay-ell]

I am certain that this is part of the reason that Asperger Syndrome is being folded into the "Autism Spectrum Disorders" category and done away with as distinct diagnosis in the DSM-V.

Knock it off guys, that stuff is so GAY.

I had a "friend" in high school who took to using "Jewish" as a perjorative. He was...pretty quickly shunned for that.

True, but saying that the majority of Fluffy Ponyists have an ASD taints the rest of the ASD population by association.

Dude, there are like ... a hundred Fluffy Ponyists out there. The majority of math and physics professors have an ASD. That's good! We need Physics. Fluffy Ponies are the dark side of ASD. It's kind of how sickle cell anemia has adaptive benefits in fighting malaria, but the down side is that a subset carries both alleles and gets the full blown condition.

Also, please, let's get back to what really matters here: making fun of Juggalos.
