Response to Deep · 3:14pm Mar 8th, 2021
This was originally going to be an isolated response to Deep's comment in my last blog, but it just kept getting longer and longer, and I eventually decided to make it a separate blog post. Because plenty of people have the same idea he does. "Defy their opinions and stick around! We love you!" And it's true, you do love me. I love you too. So that's why it's best to explain it further. Deep, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm singling you out. Think of it like you're the spokesperson for a lot of my followers.
Deep probably speaks for a lot of you when he says:
Despite our differences, I actually don't want you to leave.
For one, your memes are hilarious
Also, I do enjoy your presence here. You're not afraid to speak your mind, even though you know most people here will bash you. I respect that. Don't let your attackers win by you leaving the site. Rub it in their faces by staying regardless of their attacks. Continue to attack them back.
Anything but the coward's way out of leaving.
"Don't leave the site! Stay here in this cesspit and argue with people online, and then you'll win!" Come on, man. If I really don't care about what people say, if it won't make a difference to me if they call me a racist, sexist bigot, then I don't care about staying here. Nothing I can do will result in them seeing me any other way; they've already decided I'm a bigot.
Even if I make blogs, slideshows, and share detailed videos explaining why systemic racism doesn't exist, or why gender and sex are the same, or why the nuclear family is the best family ever and everything else is a perversion--even if I presented mountains and mountains of proof, data, or scientifically sound arguments, nothing I say will make that much if an impact. Either people will say, "Oh, that darn Brady, with his hot takes! Glad to see he's doing well!" and move along, or they'll call me a bigot and argue with me, or they'll somehow say the science I used is invalid. Imagine trying to calm down a BLM rally with a PowerPoint presentation on why systemic racism doesn't exist. They'll just kill you.
I will sway no one to my side, to think the way I do, because of facts and logic. Here's some much-needed facts and logic: people are not rational beings. They're emotional beings. I've watched a lot of Star Trek. Literally nothing I can do here will make a difference. Not for you, not for me, and not for any of the degenerates out there. You don't even really like me all that much; you just think I have balls for simply being here and going against the flow. The 5% of normal people on this website aren't actually going to think I'm outstanding or stunning for just sticking around on a site full of polygamists, incestual furries, and mentally unstable pedophiles just to spite them. The 5% of normal people are just my friends, or if they aren't, they would get along well with me.
And I'm really not scared about what these "people" can say. They can't even call me a faggot because they think it's insensitive. They don't even know if I'm an actual bigot; it's just an arbitrary label they use to describe anyone who doesn't agree with the progressive movement. Nowadays, the words racist, sexist, and bigot have lost all meaning. They are all just synonyms for "Shut up." Actual racists are probably having a field day; they blend in perfectly with the crowd. The mob will never be appeased by you taking a knee or making an apology; that's your mistake. Never kneel! I'm not going to be scared of them more than I'm scared of violating my own principles. That doesn't mean sticking around them, though. I'm playing on enemy turf, playing by their rules. I lose the moment I stay. Besides, all I feel relegated to nowadays is as an attraction for my followers to peek in and be entertained by my hot takes. I'm a curiosity, a Conservative.
True, not caring about the opinions of degenerates means I can make normal statements they think are inflammatory and then turn my notifications off without fear of losing my status among them. But at the same time, I'm not going to prove them wrong or stick it to 'em just by staying in this spot of weakness. If anything, it just corrodes me more and more. What have I to gain by staying here? Owning a retard here and there? Meanwhile, I'm not watching the show or interested in the news as much as a brony should be. So why am I here?
If an alcoholic is trying to recover, he's not going to visit the bars he used to frequent. If I want to seriously get out of this rut, I need to distance myself from the website. These people write so much porn, it isn't even funny. It's dangerous. The longer I stay here, the worse my condition gets. If I continue in my path, this cycle will never end.
The coward's way out is to submit to them and stay around them as a whipped dog, a king's clown, to speak my mind and then get shoved aside. The real defiant option, to really stand up to them, is to leave everything trying me down here, give up my favorite sins, and make a real life for myself. So what if they rejoice when I'm gone? They're the ones stuck on a MLP fanfiction website. Would you call staying in a pool of pee rational defiance? No, you'd want to get out. Only fools would stay in. To really defy the pool would be to never come there again.
Good luck to you.
I hope that, one day, you’ll understand that the world doesn’t fit in neat boxes and that trying to make it so is an impossible destructive endeavor.

As if I didn't already.
Good luck, if you want to keep in touch here's my Yahoo mail. wrightshane28@yahoo.com
I know we won't be able to talk about brony stuff, but maybe some similar interests.

I'll be sad to see you go, but if you wish to leave, that's your choice. Fare thee well, and may the winds blow in your favour.

Goodbye friend, you were one of the last voice of reason this site.

I mean, I'm not gone yet. But after I finish my story, I'm outta here.
If you ever want to talk to me or follow me, please...don’t be afraid to contact me on YouTube.
Oh, no worries. Though when I first saw the title of this blog, I thought it was going to be a long rant against me
Agreed, unfortunately. (Though what does Star Trek have to do with this haha?)
That said, I do want to say that whenever I post an opinion similar to yours on here, I tend to get a much more positive response than you (ironic since I often like getting downvotes). I 100% believe that how you say things is more of a reason for people having an issue with you than what you say. Which really does speak to how emotional people are.
Just randomly thinking: Would you rather me like you and not respect you? Or me respect you for your guts and not like you? This line just caught my interest.
Polygamy is the original relationship style for kings haha. One queen + a harem on the side. I thought a tradtionalist like you be on board with polygamy like I am
Considering how much this site seems to drain you emotionally, I do now agree with your decision to leave. It was just hard for me to see this at first because I treat the online world as a joke and thus am not emotionally affected by it. But most people on this site--and on the internet in general--are getting emotionally wrecked by the endless nonsense and negativity on the web.
So if you feel that your emotional state requires you to leave this site, then yeah, you should leave it. That said, I do have one warning: The people who get emotionally wrecked by the internet have emotional problems to begin with. The internet just worsens them, but it's not the root cause.
As someone I'm familiar with once put it: No one who is emotionally stable has ever gotten mad on the internet.
He's obviously exaggerating, but the point does stand. Most of this site uses it as an escape from their real life and to get a sense of community... Which really does speak to their real life issues. But that is why even if everyone on here left this site, nearly all of them would continue to have emotional problems in the future, both online and offline. And I say this knowing full well how much of a dick I sound like.
Fair enough, and a point I do now agree with. I do want you to respond to my post, since I enjoy the fact that you know how to write long, thought-out posts (even if I often don't agree with the content of those posts).
It will be sorrowful not seeing your meme posts, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't more or less quit the fandom because of the degeneracy that runs rampant in the fandom. Alas, it is what it is.

A lot of Star Trek episodes deal with the essence of humanity. Vulcans and androids contrasting with humans and all that.
Yeah, I think so too. The tone of the written word is vital to communication. I've seen as much from others who think the same as me.
It's nice to see someone who understands it. Plenty of people disagree with me. That much I've gotten used to; I often count on it. It's a surprise to find one that understands me while disagreeing with me. It's like a well-written villain. I'll never appease everyone; I'd count on being an antagonist in a lot of people's personal stories the same way you're an antagonist in others. Everyone is an antagonist to someone else. But at least antagonists are proactive.

I found this video recently and I immediately thought of your situation.
