You know, when this first came to light, I thought it was a joke.

Poe's law states:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing.

The core of Poe's law is that a parody of something extreme by nature becomes impossible to differentiate from sincere extremism. A corollary of Poe's law is the reverse phenomenon: sincere fundamentalist beliefs being mistaken for a parody of that belief


Now, I'm a fan of wrestling. Not near as much as I used to be, but I still pine for the old days. After awhile, I noticed a disturbing trend. Everybody on the message boards had Ponys for avatars. Their names all changed from the usual bullshit to things like "Pinky Pie" and "Rainbow Dash". Some of these assholes, in a complete state of sexual confusion and utter loneliness started mixing their wrestling enthusiasm with their MLP (abbreviating it makes me slightly less angry) entusiasm.


It's like peanut butter and fucking chocolate!!!!

So, it had to be a joke, right? NO. No it wasn't. This was a real fucking thing, and the outreach of these miserably misguided morons went far,far beyond the world of wrestling. Name one fucking thing and there's at least 100 neckbearded lonely fucking virgins mixing it up with MLP.

Now, anyone who feels they are distanced from this, take a stroll around the net. All I typed into google image was "my" and what was the first result? My Little FUCKING Pony. And people wonder why the world is shit?
