Bronies and equality rant

I often come across hate for variety of things:
Homosexuals, AfroAmericans, people with disability.. etc. 
I talked about most of those before (and I'm planning on talking more in the future) but this particular rant is about Bronies.
Bronies are people of any age who like the fandom My Little Pony: Friendship is magic or so called MLP.
They can be of either gender (Bronies or Pegasisters even though females prefer the term Bronies as well).
I personally, don't watch the show but I support it with all my heart. The show is about friendship, love and happiness and there's nothing wrong with that. I doesn't matter that it's a cartoon or that it was first made for young girls. I really don't think any type of entertainment should be labelled specifically for girls or for boys.
Because if we're planning to start labeling everything either pink or blue then we might as well go back a century where women belonged only in the kitchen, making food for their husbands aka owners and raising kids while they were out making money and bringing home the bacon. Would this mean that I shouldn't have watched all the parts of Rocky or Rambo? Because they were made for hardcore men and men only? Hell, there's a love story even in rocky, maybe that was only put in there for the rare women who had the permission to watch it.
This is just another type of discrimination and I'm sorry for bringing it up again but I can't ignore it.
...
The world isn't black and white. The world isn't split into the good people who lead perfect lives and carry on to have perfect kids while they fight the bad people who only want all the worst for the world.
There are shades of gray. People have flaws, people aren't perfect. Some people are homophobic because they were molested by a person of the same sex but they donate to charity whenever they can. Some people have treated their families badly because their parents treated them badly and now they are regretting it. Some people are the world's most famous surgeons helping all kinds of people but are terrified of little people because of who-knows-what. People aren't split into the good guys and the bad guys.
...
Another thing, when somebody mentions a Brony he/she immediately thinks of a gay person. Most commonly, a gay guy. This is a stereotype. Just because he watches the MLP doesn't mean he is gay. Just because he dresses well and takes care of his hygiene doesn't mean he is gay. Just because he acts a bit feminine, doesn't mean he is gay. We actually talked about something similar in my Ethics class in school (my professor is amazing, I praise her). 
...
Many people don't know the difference between gender and sex.
Sex - biological difference between men and women. 
Sex can be either Male or Female.
Gender - aspects of masculinity and femininity that are not biological but cultural. Learned through socialisation.
Let's take me for an example. My sex is female, I feel like a female, I am a female but, my gender is masculine. I am a tomboy. That doesn't mean I want to BE a man, that doesn't mean I want to dress like a man. That doesn't mean I'm a lesbian. That means that I identify myself as a masculine woman. I don't like make up, dresses nor anything else along those lines. Just because I prefer a hoodie over a skirt, does not mean I am a transgender woman either. It's just who I am. It's my personality. It is me.
It's the same with feminine guys. I know a couple of feminine guys and they aren't all homosexual. If they were it wouldn't be a big deal but you get the point.
...
Another thing (I know I'm sorry.. I have to stop and go study).
I need to clear something up.
I googled the word 'Bronies' and the first result was a page called Urban Dictionary - a quite useful thing sometimes, and I read through the explanations of the word Bronies. I googled that because I wanted to acquire more information about them. Most of the results were a bit offensive and contained only subjective opinions on Bronies which wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I smoothly ignored all the offensive ones until I read something.. disturbing.

The term used to describe the fan community(usually of the older group, males and females) of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Brony A: "Dude, just finished watching the first season from MLP:FiM!"
Brony B: "Cool! So who do you think is the best pony?"
Brony A mentions the pony they think is best.
Brony B Agrees and exclaims: "Brohoof!"
The bronies brohoof, similar to a high five.
^ Example of a normal and objective description of Bronies.

------
Bronies simply means people who are of an older age group and like to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There is nothing particularly exciting about this, but they make a big deal out of it.
^ Example of a subjective description of Bronies. Also I disagree with the 'older age group' part. As far as I know 11 year olds use the term as well.

-----

Then I came across this wonderfully written description.
Bronies: Teenage to young-adult, mostly male, fans of the animated cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." The term is often accepted as gender-neutral, and many female fans prefer "brony" over the not-so-popular "pegasister."

We have an awful lot of negative stereotypes that mostly aren't true. Not all of us are into R34. Not all of us are homosexual. And not all of us are furries; our fandom is, in my opinion, completely separate from furries.

We have a ton of talented artists, musicians, and authors that make our fandom so special. The fanbase is constantly growing and spreading it's hard to avoid if you're an avid Internet user. Will everyone appreciate this? Hell, no. Is it necessary to bash the fandom because it? Absolutely not.

Before you bash and call us "faggots," check out the show for yourself.

(By the way, Fluttershy is best pony. Your argument is invalid.)
Brony: Hey guys, have you seen the show "My Little Pony?"
Friend 1: No, but it sounds so gay.

Friend 2: It's all over the internet! And it's so stupid! I haven't even watched it, but I know bronies are all faggots.
Brony: Here, let me pull up one of the episodes on my iPhone.
^This person broke new ground and explained it perfectly.
----

Lonely male virgins between the ages of 15 and 55 who watch the girls' cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" either because it's cute and stupid like most things that lonely virgins fall in love with, or because they can flaunt their knowledge of the show to attract 8 year old girls to their mothers' basements for rape and cupcakes (except without the cupcakes).
Tim: "Hell yeah, man! New episode of My Little Pony!"
Jim: "Bro-hoof!"
Tim: "Yeah man, we are such bronies!"
Jim: "Forever alone...
^This person actually compared Bronies to rapists.. which is simply sick on it's own. Sick.
----

Older fans of the animated cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" These people, self entitled "Bronies" enjoy watching My little pony, while fisting their Male lovers asshole, and licking their only excrement. Needless to say, Majority of them Are autistic, and or homosexual.
Bronie 1: Hey Bronie, want to fist my asshole and lick my shit? 
Bronie 2: Yeah, but only if you lick my balls. HURRDURRR 
-Typical Bronies.
^
This was the most offensive one in my opinion.
Why don't we analyse it?
A) Bronies don't have to be in the older range of age.
B) Fisting their male lovers assholes has nothing to do with MLP nor consuming feces.
C) They don't have to be autistic nor homosexuals, another stereotype thought it has been proven that some autistic kids have improved their sociological skills while watching MLP, so it's a plus.
D) The example of typical conversation between two Bronies is complete bullshit. As I've said before, Bronies don't have to be homosexual but there's another thing that has been bothering me more.
Why do all (most) homophobic people think that homosexual men like eating feces? That is down right disgusting. They are mixing up homosexuals and coprophiles! Homosexuals have sexual and romantic relationships with the same sex. Homosexual men have sexual intercourse by inserting their own penis into the anus of another man and doing other things which I shall not mention right now. Coprophiles are people who consume feces. For god's sake people, know the difference!

Okay, I got a bit carried away there..
My point is, don't judge people on what they watch or like. I have a few friends who are bronies and they are pretty cool. I support them all the way. 
I personally am not a fan of Twilight but I have many awesome friends who are. I try my best to respect Twilight and treat as simply another fandom. 
I can't imagine someone insulting me because I like Harry Potter. Because of a such small information, somebody hating on me?
Can you?

Noise rant

It has come to my attention lately, that most people find birds singing very annoying.
Especially when they sing in mornings or at dawn which causes people to awake from slumber, grunt in anger and then not be able to fall asleep again, however hard they try. Sounds familiar? Hah, well I wouldn't know personally. :) I just really like the sound of birds singing, it's quite peaceful and calming to me. Just that feeling of waking up (on a Saturday or any day without an alarm), satisfyingly stretching and hearing cheerful tweets coming from the outside. It makes my day. It makes me smile. You know?
Same thing for crickets! Oh god, I love me some crickets.. That moment when you're camping and the mixture of crickets, wind and rustling leaves outside the tent combines into a perfect calming sound.
And don't even get me started on rain and storms! Birds singing, crickets, wind and leaves COMBINED aren't as awesome as the soft sound of rain falling and thunder storms.
That feeling of just lying in bed, the cool and fresh scent of rain in the air flowing from the window, calming and soothing rhythm of heavy rain drops splattering across the ground and others, sliding down the windows with an occasional thunder bolt soaring through the sky with a loud bang.
It calms me down instantly. It makes me feel utterly safe and sound. Also makes me sleepy.. :) Perfect in the evenings.
I guess I should mention I am a very heavy sleeper aka I sleep like a log. Rarely anything wakes me.
Seriously, don't believe me? I live next to a fire fighters station. They start their sirens while they are still in front of the building and it's bloody loud, trust me but for me personally, I don't notice it.. How do I not notice an ear-splitting, high pitched siren? Well, after living next to it for 15 years, you kinda get used to it. :)
It's so weird when my friends visit and cover their ears while the truck passes by (if the windows are opened, it's quite loud, if not it's not that bad) and I just look at them in confusion before I realise and laugh.
Also my  room is next to the elevator (I live in a building, obviously) and I completely block out the sound.. xD Not to mention the traffic in front of my house. One of the main and busiest streets is in front of my building and the daily noise of trams, cars and buses.. Huh.

So after writing this huge chunk of text.. now what? I don't fully feel satisfied with this post..
I didn't make any jokes which most likely resulted in you not being amused with this post and of course, disinterested. You might have associated with this post but that's a slim chance.
So, seriously, now what?

Scrubs ftw!

Wicked dreams?

I'm wasn't sure if you would be interested in reading this kind of a post but here it goes.
I swear I don't take drugs!

What I dreamed last night (morning).

The dream started out with me living in this small house (just two rooms but with a back door and surprisingly a TV). It all seemed like kind of a game, it reminded me of Minecraft (the storyline; hiding in a house, in daylight I could go out but at night I put chairs in front of the doors because they kept opening at night - creepy!). At one point a cat or a dog wandered over and we became buddies. Anyway, occasionally I would get instructions from some mysterious people and I had to do them.. At one point, they (mysterious people) told me to go to the back of the house and I discovered that the house actually had another floor, few more rooms etc (It just appeared, don't ask how). Then I had some kind of a flashback in which I was trick or treating through that hallways leading to the new rooms in Harry Potter costumes, and I distinctly remember  getting the only candy from a guy dressed as Ron - 2 round yellow coloured candies and one 1 orange. I was happy for the yellow ones (lemon flavour, yay!). When the flashback was over I moved my stuff to another room which had a bigger bed and was more enclosed and I felt safer there. A couple of days later, a girl joined me. She just appeared and I invited her in and etc. It's funny because at that point, she seemed like Ginny but then later she changed into one of my real life friends.. Some time passed and then one day..
*dramatic music*
The mysterious people told us one morning that we had three hours to prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse and as soon as I heard I ran out of the house and I started fetching big rocks because my plan was to build a fort around the house, right? Guess what she did. After 2.5 hours of me fetching huge rocks, she entered the house and started driving it like a car. I'm not really sure what happened there, but at that point, it all made sense. Anyway there was a car and inside was our whole house but it had shrunken a bit. And she even put all the rocks INSIDE the house which I actually commented on because it didn't make sense to make how is she planning on escaping zombies in a car-house if  it needs to be light and fast, not filled with very heavy rocks.
"We will hit the Zombies with the rocks, silly." She said matter-of-factly. I thought she was going mad but I just went with it. Anyway, we started driving through an unfamiliar city. Two minutes into the drive, she stops the car and invites 3-5 random people on the street into the car.
The people were: Sam from Glee (random much?)
                           a short haired girl who looked much like Nellie from Glee Project
                           David Tennant/Callum Blue
                           one more girl and boy which I can't remember

To be honest, he looked more like Callum..














So we took them in and started driving on the highway and there were a couple of rows of cars in front of us. Right then I asked my friend (let's call her Katy) does she know where's she going, how does she know is she going in the right way etc. She waved her hand dismissively at me, with a total chilled face expression and says
'I know what I'm doing.' I shrug my shoulders and 5 seconds later the rows of cars in front of us abruptly stop.
Want to guess why they stopped? Hah! Perhaps it was the rows of zombies in cars and on motorcycles  behind a thick red line waiting for the start. (Zombies seem actually quite nice here, politely waiting and everything..) So, Katy, instead of stepping on the breaks, turning around and getting the hell out of there, keeps on driving straight through the rows of zombie cars, bikes and motorcycles. (I guess by this time, our car-house transformed into a self-powered car-house-bike since it could fit in between cars very easily.) So, like idiots, we started zooming past the zombies straight into Zombie town (and the apocalypse started by then). Katy got tired driving so I took over (and then the self-powered car-house-bike transformed into a... transformer?  Because it could jump, climb things and run). While I jumped from one roof to another, the people in the transformer thing were throwing rocks on occasional zombies attacking us. After a while we ended up in a familiar place (weekend cottage) and I started fighting my zombie neighbours which was.. interesting. After climbing up the electric pole to avoid a few raging elderly ladies, I woke up.
And here I am. Writing about my weird dream and making you think I'm going mad.
I hope you enjoyed this.. I guess.
Oh god.. why.

Glee - comparing season 1 and season 4

I was going to write a political post on Barack Obama and his victory but I changed my mind in the last minute. This post is going to be about Glee. It's kind of funny, actually, since I've never written about anything related to Glee before, at all. How curious..

Since most of my readers (3/5 people) don't watch Glee I will have explain the whole history Glee for them to understand... or you could just simply skip this post. Right? Though I'll remind everyone else how it went.

Comparing Season 1 and Season 4
Season 1

Rachel - lonely and left out pretty freshman girl with a loads of musical talent and an amazing voice tries out for the Glee Club
Finn - Jock who doesn't want to sing (but has a great voice) because he will get teased and he doesn't want to look like a dork but he ends up doing that anyway
Quinn - bitchy cheerleader, practically owns the school, sings
Puck - Jock who bullies nerds but ends up being one of the nerds, violent and troubled teen but ends up being better towards the end, probably slept with every girl in school, badass
Kurt - adorable but lonely flamboyant guy, amazing voice, bullied, best friends with Rachel

Plot: Rachel likes Finn, Finn is dating Quinn but kinda like Rachel. They sing a duet together and fall in love, Finn breaks up with Quinn and him and Rachel are all perfect and awesome and whatever for the rest of the season. Though keep in mind the love triangle kept mixing up for 3 full seasons and then Puck came in and knocked up Quinn and 100 more things happened..

Season 4 (keep in mind Kurt, Rachel, Finn and Quinn graduated and they're gone)
Marley aka new Rachel - lonely and left out pretty freshman girl with loads blah blah, tries out for Glee club
Kitty aka new Quinn - bitchy cheerleader, practically own the school, sings, the only difference between them is that Quinn radically changed over the course of years and she's very sweet now even though we don't see her anymore
Wade/Unique aka new Kurt - adorable but lonely flamboyant guy (well actually, Wade identifies himself as a female so transgender), amazing voice (both of them can sing VERY high), bullied, best friends with Marley aka new Rachel.
This is where it gets tricky because there a couple of options for Finn.
There's Jake (Puck's half brother who's more like new Puck but is in love with Marley but in a relationship with Kitty (so the same situation as 3 season before, a love triangle) BUT Kitty and Jake broke up and then Ryder came along who actually reminds me of Sam. Ryder is a kind of a loner who's on the football team but actually sucks at it and in the latest episode he auditioned for a musical and glee club (grease), anyway he got the part with Marley etc Ryder also seems a bit goofy and a bit stupid but in an adorable way, just like Sam is. So Marley and Sam are friends and Jake wants to be friends *cough* more *cough* with Marley while Kitty is still a self absorbed bitch. Yay!

In conclusion:
Marley = Rachel
Wade/Unique = Kurt
Kitty = Quinn
Ryder = Sam or Finn
Jake = Puck or Finn

See a pattern here?

Also, Wade reminds me a bit of Mercedes (drama queen, diva). Kurt + Mercedes = Unique. O_O





In extra conclusion:
I feel like Ryan Murphy (and his writers team) are recycling old ideas and can't think of something fresh. I liked the whole spin off with Kurt and Rachel in New York but everything pretty much stayed the same in McKinley High. We need something new, interesting and most importantly original!
And don't even get me started on Klaine.. That's a topic for a whole another post and I'm off to edit out a new Drarry HP fanfic chapter because a certain Netherlands fangirl is very anxious to read it ;)

G'night.

2012 Presidential Candidates - my opinion

Hey there readers :)
I'm in a very good mood right now (listening to fabulous jazz) so why not ruin it by talking about Mitt Romney? Hahah, well I don't want to ruin my mood on purpose but this is a topic I've been wanting to talk about for a good while.
As you may or may not know, the big election is in 4 days for the president of the United States.
We have many candidates running for president but I will only mention the two main ones.
We have: Barack Obama - current president of the USA
                                         - supports marriage equality, equality among men and women and other races
                                         - he actually cares for people with less wealth
                                         - unfortunately, he hasn't been the best president (Obamacare was a failure..), America and the rest of the world is in depth but having Mitt Romney as the president won't really change that. Whoever is in charge will have a tough time dealing with this. I've seen Obama take more action to try and fix the problems than anyone else. That's all that matters.

               Mitt Romney - He is very much known for his hate against the LGBTQ community. I have posted many articles here, with him expressing disgust and disrespect for people of other sexual orientations.. which is absolutely horrifying. He has also been degrading to women and never fully expressed his opinion on equality among men and women. I think it was in the 1st or 2nd debate when he was asked how would he react on discrimination of women which is going on in the USA right now (paying women less money for the same job as men) and you know what he did? He answered with an anecdote, barely mentioning the issue at hand without a conclusion. Outrageous. I highly recommend for you to read this article..
http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/mitt-romney-was-a-high-school-gay-bashing-bully/politics/2012/05/10/39307
To sum it up, he attacked a student in high school because he was a homosexual. Well technically, the boy didn't even come out then, he only wore his hair over side of his face which resulted Romney into thinking he might be gay and he physically tackled the boy down and cut off his hair. Do you really want that kind of a person running whole United States? Sure about that?



For more information on Romney, please see this article.
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/16-reasons-why-mitt-romney-would-be-a-really-really-bad-president

As for the rest of the candidates.. I don't know much about them. I only heard Gary Johnson wants to legalize weed.. and that's about it. xD

Now regarding Obama once more.. I understand he messed some things up pretty hard and I'm not an expert nor living in America. I'm not aware half of the things Obama did or didn't do but I do know one thing. He cares for equality. Equality among all of us. That's what matters to me.

Let us all remember what Obama did for the LGBTQ community.

  • Signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, expanding federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by gender, sexual orientation or gender identity. 
  • Signed the Affordable Care Act of 2010, a comprehensive overhaul of America’s health care system that will hold insurance companies accountable, lower health care costs, guarantee greater patient choice, and enhance the quality of care for all Americans; LGBT Americans are disproportionately uninsured, and this law will provide access to affordable coverage and protection from insurance companies that deny coverage for pre-exisLting conditions. 
  • Lifted the discriminatory ban on entry to the United States based on HIV status 
  • Ordered the Department of Health and Human Services to guarantee medical decision making and visitation rights to LGBT couples 
  • Expanded the Family Medical Leave Act to ensure that LGBT parents and partners can take leave from work to care for their child, parent, or spouse—a right afforded to any other family." 
  • Repelled the 'Don't ask, don't tell' law in the military.
