Just read it.
[8:14:15 PM] joshscorcher: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7MFy6nAyduc#!
[8:19:29 PM] God of Cats: As humbled as I am, I have to maintain my integrity as an asshole and make the obvious...
[8:19:37 PM] God of Cats: So does this mean you're a Bro-*shot*
[8:28:11 PM] joshscorcher: No, I just heard about the Derpy controversy and did a little research.
[8:29:40 PM] God of Cats: Whether it becomes a problem or not, it's still upsetting that people actually reward the animators for their gall and willingness to acknowledge the fanbase with spite and hate mail. From what I read, Derpy's voice actor was sent death threats.
[8:29:54 PM] God of Cats: The same things you got for stating your hatred of Okami =l
[8:33:12 PM] joshscorcher: I am a Christian. I am aware that other Christians are...different, but I still associate myself among them. Because I'm proud of my beliefs. I'm not ashamed. Even though we all view God differently, we all still have the same fundamental belief that God exists, he loves us, wants to be with us, and wants us to spread his teachings of love. Not so different from MLP now that I think about it.
[8:33:57 PM] God of Cats: Kinda scary the similarities.
[8:34:24 PM] joshscorcher: I mean, seriously, Celestia's TOO omniscient.
[8:34:44 PM] joshscorcher: The resemblances are uncanny.
[8:35:43 PM] joshscorcher: So...you willing to give the fanbase another chance?
[8:37:26 PM] God of Cats: Ok, I will profess... I am laughing my ass off right now. It's humbling and touching, I will not deny, but... coming from you, it's also hysterical.
[8:37:43 PM] God of Cats: I mean I appreciate what you're doing, don't take this the wrong way.
[8:38:01 PM] God of Cats: But I can kinda see you thinking in your head, "Yes I'm trying to help you, but don't take this the wrong way. I AM STILL NOT A BRONY!"
[8:38:57 PM] God of Cats: But yeah... it seems MLP, even to its extremities, is like any other fanbase.
[8:39:07 PM] joshscorcher: People aren't perfect.
[8:39:10 PM] God of Cats: Utter idiots that have shown their cruelty, yet also some of the kindest people I've seen as well.
[8:39:20 PM] joshscorcher: MLP isn't perfect.
[8:39:29 PM] joshscorcher: But even I can see the good that it has done.
[8:40:32 PM] God of Cats: I don't profess to people being perfect. I was just acting under impulse... I let my guard down, so it hit me hard. In retrospect, I should've known better. I should've been ready for something like that.
[8:41:02 PM | Edited 8:42:10 PM] joshscorcher: I'm just trying to be a good friend right now. Me defending myself of bronydom comes later. Right now, the heart of the matter is that even we Christians have idiots. A lot of them. I know that.
[8:41:22 PM] joshscorcher: You're still a brony. You just...
[8:41:24 PM] joshscorcher: Get it.
[8:43:05 PM] God of Cats: What might you mean by "get it?"
[8:47:26 PM | Edited 8:51:27 PM] joshscorcher: There's Christians who claim to be Christians...but they don't...get it. They think they understand what it entails to be a Christian, but they don't. Because of that, we have things like Crusades and Westboro Baptist and the stereotype, "Believe what I say or I'll hurt you." Jesus never taught that. He taught love and toleration. Sure, he wasn't afraid to offend people, but even he knew there were problems that had to be fixed, and sugarcoating it wasn't going to cut it.
[8:48:17 PM] joshscorcher: You understand what being a brony is all about. A brony would NEVER do something like that to Tabitha St. Germain. Simply put, THEY AREN'T REAL BRONIES.
[8:50:10 PM] God of Cats: Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. (Now this scene is kind of awkward; someone chose Celine Dion in the Board Game O.o;)
[8:51:33 PM] God of Cats: I mean... it's the same for anything.
[8:52:46 PM] joshscorcher: You just gotta keep an eye out for the people that truly understand. Maybe you're the sensible one that has to be the light in the darkness. Maybe you're the one called to be the example. Think about it.
[8:53:16 PM] God of Cats: That's a scary thought XD If someone like me is the one that has to be an example...
[8:53:50 PM] joshscorcher: As I always say, delivery doesn't matter as long as the point gets across.
[8:54:40 PM] joshscorcher: Show some self-esteem. You're not a bad person.
[8:57:03 PM | Edited 8:57:15 PM] God of Cats: You know how you hate Fluttershy? I kinda remember in your first review when you said you used to be that. Yeah... I sorta am that (minus the fact that I'm not a plot device that conveniently forgets how to be brave every episode)
[8:58:29 PM] joshscorcher: So...you're the embodiment of kindness that is always willing to help a friend in need?
[8:58:58 PM] God of Cats: Ok, also minus the fact where I'm regarded as some sort of perfect girly girl.
[8:59:18 PM] God of Cats: It's the personality aspect.
[8:59:21 PM] joshscorcher: Why are you constantly trying to degrade yourself?
[8:59:32 PM] joshscorcher: It's sad and amusing.
[9:00:04 PM] God of Cats: It's not degrading if it's true. I am shy as hell.
[9:01:31 PM] joshscorcher: And let me elaborate...it's not really FLuttershy I hate, it's more of the cliched archetypical niche she was shoved into. She's Aeris, She's Orohime, She's Hinata. I've seen shy characters done right before. Fluttershy just isn't handled very well.
[9:02:15 PM] God of Cats: Well I'm the one who tolerates. You don't have to worry about me coming at you with a shotgun because you had the nerve to profess contempt.
[9:02:56 PM] God of Cats: But yeah, I'm kind of that in real life. The way I act on the Internet is a lot different. (Though I try to refrain from turning into the sociopathic anonymous bastard.)
[9:03:35 PM] joshscorcher: I'm socially awkward as well.
[9:04:44 PM] God of Cats: Yeah. But I'm getting somewhat better, what with my brother being the exact opposite of me and thus always bringing people around.
[9:05:53 PM] joshscorcher: PEOPLE...*HISSES*
[9:06:17 PM] joshscorcher: So you feeling better?
[9:06:24 PM] God of Cats: A lot actually.
