Puzzles for dummies and an example of why I despise bronies

I'm going to start off with a little bit of bother. This in fact:

It might look like an odd, but it is actually a Rubik's puzzle. "But it looks nothing like a Rubik's puzzle!" You might say. Well, shut the fuck up you interrupting little shit.
I grabbed one from a garage sale because shit, it was $1, and back in the day when I was really into Rubik's style puzzles, I really wanted one, but for some reason they stopped being sold.
I naturally examined it and figured out how the puzzle worked, and after getting one of the coloured balls into its respective blister, realised it had nothing "puzzle-like" about it. It could be called a skill game, but even then, the only skill is patiently bumping the thing when a ball is lodged in the first hole to get it up to the second hole without it falling back into the central chamber, and once it's in the second hole, you need only bump the thing again to settle the central chamber and remove the first hole. The rest of the "puzzle" is shaking the thing to get the first hole to snag a ball and not drop it (this is mostly just down to luck), and hoping that the second hole that you line the ball up with is going to be one of the two that meets the layer of blisters that matches the colour of the ball.
It's apparent that a company that prides itself with carrying the name of one of the most popular puzzles ever made has sunk to making easier spin-offs because people don't know how to use Google. Seriously, there are so many guides for solving a Rubik's cube that it isn't even funny.

On to why I despise bronies.

A friend that I have invited me to play GMod with him, and after accepting his offer I found out that it was a brony server. I naturally questioned why he was playing on a brony server, to which he replied saying that it was a good server that he had played on before, that it was the server that he made the Sanic mech on.
This server has PlayX. Which meant that once again I was having pony crap jammed down my throat with a side of Five Nights at Freddie's thanks to some seriously annoying ragdoll spamming ten year-olds. Though thankfully that wasn't all the time.
However none of this was the real problem, these things could be blocked out. No... It was a player that decided to play there after I had racked up about 50 hours.
This guy was cool. He had knowledge of Expression 2, and he built a big box and covered it with the animated texture that you see on Dr. Kleiner's PC screen at the start of HL2. The one that's a screensaver of stars. When you were in this box, it would look like you were floating in space, and it could get pretty confusing if you removed gravity and sat in a spinning chair. He then got an E2 that created a spherical gravity field. So now we were sitting in chairs, orbiting a fixed point, in a large box that was essentially space. Pretty cool, and the guy who did it was too. I even accepted his friend request.

Though our friendship was not to be when I had to tolerate him and some of the more lewd players enjoying some loud jokes and RP. I unfriended him pretty quickly.

So far I've found that the bronies who proudly wear their associated fandom like a badge of honour are the cancerous ones. They are obnoxious, loud, and will defend their show to the end. The guy who I unfriended even tried to get me to watch an episode before I had to reluctantly tell him that I was an ex brony, not someone that had never seen MLP, and that I cared not for the damn show.
Even then he would ask me why I stopped. I told him that I had simply stopped enjoying it. I was always uncomfortable about others finding out, and watching any of it had to be done in secrecy. I've even had dreams where my parents found out, and would mock me about it while I tried desperately to either close a frozen browser page, or prevent them from seeing the screen.
