There's a "pony creator" game that lets you change the pose and stuff. So maybe you'll find it a little less strange knowing they didn't put hours and hours into that strange concept. They just opened the game and idly played around with it when they were bored. xD It's kinda the same as drawing a character or real person as an an anime character, a Pokemon, genderbent, etc.
No, I don't resent them for that. I know they turn lots of things into a pony. I simply thought it was... strange.
Turning fictional characters into ponies? Alright. I don't really care about it, except if ponifications start getting spammed everywhere. But a turning a real-life object into a pony? An object that exists? That's like ponifying your computer. Or a smartphone.
Well, that's what I think about it. Of course, you might find it not a big deal, but I still think that it's weird.
The next thing you know, they'll start ponifying ponies..
I do agree with you. However, that is exactly why (EXTREME!) bronies are hated by many in the first place: they (The EXTREME bronies!) talk about My Little Pony in the most irrelevant places, ponify the most irrelevant things (I still can't forget how they converted one of my favorite cars, the Mercedes-Benz SLS, into a pony), and simply annoy others by yelling to them if they don't like MLP. But those, luckily, are the vocal minority. The silent majority talks indeed about it in the relevant places (forums, pony videos, etc, etc...) but thanks to the bad apples, ALL of the bronies got a bad reputation.
I repeat, those are only the vocal minority. Not all bronies are like that.
im a bronie and i hate the genaral fanbase of mlp XD most of them ponify everything yet all of them arent all to bad i ponify stuff to but its not like "dis car gotta be pony and dis must be poneh!!!" its more of a bordom thing like "hmm what would this look like as a pony" "ok it sucks"

I would say any fandom is capable of it with certain individuals. All in all fandom's source material is fictional. As in not existing. The extent to how much you allow that fiction to affect you and your actions in the real world, is what makes for bad fandom. I myself, throw out some Charles Bukowski to advertise, cause he's a great writer, and I would have never heard of him, if I had not had a random encounter with an individual that introduced me to his work. So it's there for someone to read my signature or see my avatar and say "I'd like to see what that's all about". It's rarely the source material that causes bad fandom. It the fans of the source material that can keep fiction from reality and start to let it dictate real life decisions and perceptions. There's nothing wrong with fiction, but when people use it as a platform for whatever propaganda they wish to spew out and not just let the material itself be enjoyed, is when fandom goes bad in my opinion.

“We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. ” -- Charles Bukowski
Wrong, wrong, very wrong. I could simply prove you wrong by screaming 'MUSIC FANS', but that would be boring. Therefore, I shall simply demonstrate what's wrong with your sentence by giving an example of a fanbase that I am a part of: auto enthusiasm.
Auto enthusiasm simply means that you are very interested in cars. Many people are auto enthusiasts, and they are even hated by some individuals, the die-hard eco-friendly treehuggers. It even has some minor 'fanfiction', in the form of sketches of non-existent cars and there are Youtube channels that post only car videos. There are also forums to discuss things about cars.
So, if you sum it up, the auto enthusiasm can count as a fanbase. However, contradictory to what you claim, the LaFerrari is just as real as you and me, and so is the 918 Spyder and the P1.
There are more 'fanbases' of existing things. Dog/cat/horse lovers, music fans, art fans (And with 'art' I mean REAL art, made by Rubens, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, etc, etc...), Apple/Samsung/ASUS/Acer fans, etc, etc...
So no, not all fanbases are based on non-existing things.
Fictional or not you can still take any hobby to an unhealthy extreme, which was the more important point, that I guess I should have made clearer. The first few pages of the thread I read were mostly siting fans of fictional entertainment.

Almost every weeaboo. My reason for this? They give up on their own culture for the sake of calling themselves Japanese even if they dont even have a drop of their blood inside of them. I understand that it is okay to like a certain culture and what they have in said culture, and thats great! But dont go worshiping it!!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention there are a few cool weeaboos but most of them are wackos.
Select MLP fans.- I have nothing against bronies, but I wish certain bronies could shut up for 5 seconds.
Minecraft- Vying for some YouTuber's attention, screaming and raging when they lose. I felt like this deserved special attention because of the toxicity of the raging.
Roblox- Need I say more?
Call of Duty- See above
FNAF- I'm fine with the fan art, animations, theories and songs. But the roleplaying? Ugh, please just stop. We don't want to hear about Freddy giggling behind a curtain. Just shut up and post something relevant. Leave the roleplaying for an appropriate time.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move
Yes, welcome to the internet. There are weird things here.

I'll list off a few.
