Bias commonly comes into play (I.E. the brony rule, which shows favoritism to bronies and does not allow pony "haters" to speak their minds) and in addition to this, some of the people with higher power tend to be belittling and condescending (to users who break the rules, yes, and I can see justification in that, but that doesn't make the behavior any better than the person's you're scolding). There are so many people who disrespect new users, no matter what they do or say. I'd say we started acting less like a dictatorship and more of a community based on anti-prejudice and equality for all users. You can voice your disposition, but when you start making fun of users for liking it you are crossing the line, Also if the bronies are bashing people who DONT like it then thats what "Vice versa" is for... it isnt favoritism just protection from useless and unsavory bashing from BOTH parties
