There's nothing wrong with loving a chatactor in fiction.. it's what great writers do, make a personality so alluring that the reader (or viewer) wishes for them to be alive and there. I was the same way with Prince Diamond in Sailor Moon (wwaayyy back in the dark ages of 1994). Nothing wrong with boys watching MLP:FIM either. My s/o and my 13 year old son watch it and enjoy their adventures.
I have big issues with people hiding behind the freedom of speech line. They don't know what it means. It doesn't mean say whatever you want whenever you want to, it means you can vocalize your disagreement with something and not get arrested or killed for it. Because way back when, when said thing became apart of countries constitutions and bills of rights, people didn't have the rights to openly disagree with laws and rulers edicts. I don't know if people today are purposfully misunderstanding it, or are grossly uneducated about the subject, but it is what it is.
You don't let the trolls of the internet get to you  it is not what Ms. Fluttershy would want. |
Thank you very much. I had to have my mother read these comments for me to check whether they were kind or not, because I was too much of a coward to read them myself. I was afraid parts of my post would spark anger, especially the "I don't like freedom of speech" part and my fear of people who don't like the show.
It's gotten to the point where I've had to socially cut myself off from people who aren't bronies and have nothing to do with them. Take the Nostalgia Critic, for example. I used to be a fan of his videos, but when he started making fun of the show e.g. his Cat in the Hat review, I felt hurt and stopped watching his videos entirely. I know they are just jokes, but they still hurt. I miss the Nostalgia Critic, but I just can't watch his videos anymore. I'm not mentally strong enough to deal with people disliking anything that I like, and I hate myself for that. It's a serious problem I have, and I hope I can get help in the future.
Also, I feel guilty for feeling attracted to other girls and women. It's like I'm psuedo-religious and believe being attracted to anybody other than your significant other is wrong. I don't act on these attractions and I hope I never will, but I still feel horribly guilty and ashamed of myself for feeling this way.
I think that's enough for now. I also apologize for how long my first post was and me not warning anybody beforehand. One last question left: am I to blame for my depression, or not?
