You're stating that Duardo is being a hypocrite fro breaking the rules.
It may have very well offended someone, but all I'm seeing in this thread are the only people he could have insulted. Don't you think it's better to get an opinion from both sides?I guess you could technically say that there are opinions from both sides, considering the fact that Murdur is not a brony. I don't know what "other side" there would be. Honestly, if you haven't watched the show, you shouldn't really have an opinion.
Below is a post of mine that I posted on a radio station's website when they had a segment targeting bronies.
It was promptly deleted by moderators and I received no responses.
Hey, you guys remember this broadcast?

Yeah, I'm a real brony here. I challenge you to watch three episodes of My Little Pony (Winter Wrap Up, Sonic Rainboom, and The Cutie Mark Chronicles), all of which I will provide links to below:

After rewatching every episode, I have concluded that Party of One is the best episode to show non-bronies.

Just to get one thing straight, MLP: Friendship is magic is nothing like the generations you knew. I can bet that less than 1% of the current bronies like the previous MLP generations. I, for one, think that the old generations flat-out suck, but that's my opinion. Friendship is Magic, generation 4, is something completely different.
Here's the reason as to why I like the show so much. The main ponies are portrayed very similarly to girls in their 20s. They're all well into their own careers and seems to have gone through the necessary channels (Twilight being the understudy of the ruler of the land, Dash having gone to flight school); they're all young enough to still have insecurities in themselves (Fluttershy's low confidence, everyone's fear of Zecora and the unknown) but old enough to not get caught up in hormones, drama, vapidity, etc. It strikes the perfect chord for good characterization and leaves enough room for each ponies character flaw to show right next to their defining traits.
Just look at the animation, such as how their manes bounce when they walk. I can assure you that no other animated television show pays this much attention to detail, not only in the show, but to their audience, as you learned through the song that you played on your station, Equestria Girls.
Just look at the following picture of Lauren Faust, the director of the show, interacting with her fans...

And even the animators themselves...

There are countless other examples of the MLP team's involvement with the brony community, too many to list, and I think that is one of the reasons that so many people like My Little Pony; they actually care about their fans and listen to what they have to say.

If you can watch these three videos and still support the biased hate-speech that you spew on your radio shows, then you are entitled to your opinion, but you should have a more open mind about what is going on around you, rather than stereotyping shows just because you want to feel cool or protect your masculinity.
Good day to you sir.

It's a meme.Hell. No. I am just going to assume that you came into this thread randomly, have not read any of the posts, and know nothing about MLP.
It will go away. It's simple.In time maybe, but not soon.
In 2 months, no one will care about this at all. This is where you are horribly, horribly, horribly wrong. Just look at websites like this. That's the type of fandom that EVERY community should aspire to be. Additionally, with the release of season 2 this fall, the brony hype will only be bigger than ever.
