Acynder Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 http://www.reddit.co...for_the_ponies/......Where's the sense in all of this? Frankly is it even possible to kick out a 15 year old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitehawke Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 From what some users on Ponibooru said, this is a copy pasta of a different "supposedly made-up" story (except the subject matter is the parent finding out their child is gay).That being said, I don't know if this story is actually true or not.

Xiee Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I could understand if it was something like porn but getting kicked out of the house because of MLP? Seriously? I've heard of some moms or dads at least grounding the kids for life but kicking them out of the house? Wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Mint Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 hi hiI wouldn't be able to tell if this specifically was legit, but I've personally known people who've lived with abusive parents, so I know that something like this is not outside the realm of reality.

Tenkan Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's terrible.There's only one thing that always causes these to happen, and that's lack of communication.Once there's a lack of communication, there's room for speculation. After that comes misconception and misunderstanding. With misunderstanding, there's disagreement. When there is disagreement in the house, there's going to be friction all the time. That's when things get heated up and ugly.It's really sad these things happen. That's why we should all learn to keep good communication between our family and friends, so that we could all learn to find a beauty in differences, rather than find differences some sort of a burden.

Armony Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Last I checked, it's kind of illegal to just kick a minor out of their home like that. I really feel sorry for the poor brony if this actually did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCTwilightSparkle Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Jeez, if his parents are that crazy maybe he's better off out of the house. Time to call the CPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherquill Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I would believe it, but it's this comment that makes me hesitant.it actually isn't illegal, the police say that "it's her house and i have to abide by her rules, and she can do any means outside of child abuse" or something along those lines at leastNo honest police officer would say that, and of course throwing a 15 year old kid out is illegal.

Dunes Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I've been active at my university's gay-straight alliance, and there are people there who were kicked out when they were underage (either permanently or just for a few months). A couple were disowned. My cousin moved out of my aunt's house when she was seventeen because her mother kept sending her her to religious counseling after she came out.So it's possible, and considering the whole "boys liking girly things is SHAMEFUL" attitude that most people are so well-trained to believe, his parents might have equated "likes girly ponies" with "he is a homosexual/pervert" (and, for some folks, those might as well be the same thing).But, yeah, I don't know if I swallow the idea of the police saying she's within her rights to kick him out, assuming that's what was said. But I'm not sure of the legality of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel sorry for the poor brony if this actually did happen.Right, it is illegal to kick out a minor unless they are "legally" an adult. I assume that the kid has not been emancipated (made a legal adult through the court) and since he is under 18, he is not a "legal" adult.Nevertheless, I do not feel this is a legitimate story.

I can easily see such a story generated from rumors and hear-say to just someone plain making it up, so be careful about assuming any of it is true.

kal413 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 While I still think this is not real, the fact that people would do stuff like this is irritating. This is beyond MLP.Why do must we make other's lives miserable just because they believe something else, or have different preferences. Are we that insecure about ourselves? Sometimes humanity just astounds me in the way that it can bring itself down so low. Stuff like this is definitely what contributes to that. It's your own flesh and blood, for crying out loud. At the very least leave them alone.Sometimes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apolline Allura Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 It wouldn't be as drastic as exile, but I don't take well to the idea of my brony status being public. I only reserve that knowledge for my best friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWilliam Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I heard about it a few weeks ago from a screenshot on memebase. It makes me feel dead inside that a parent would be so ignorant, and so harsh, legitimate or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
