http://www.movies.com/movie-news/are-bronies-new-hippies-new-documentary-says-they-could-change-world/15594quote:Footage of the Twin Towers aflame on 9/11 is not what I would expect to see in a documentary about Bronies. This growing subculture of teen and adult fans of the cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has never seemed so relevant to anything other than their own odd phenomenon. But in the film A Brony Tale, these misunderstood masses are made out to be something quite special within the context of human history. They're compared to the jazz crowd of the 1920s and to the Beatniks and, most assuredly, to the hippies. They are a response to all the terrorism and war and violence and financial catastrophe of the 21st century.  This. This is the face of the new counter-culture. For fucks sake a bunch of adult men who sexualize cartoon ponies are not going to be some cultural watershed movement. This whole thing seems to be a incestual circle-jerk between 2 wacked out researchers who've made studying bronies their job so of course none of their research is going to say "This is a waste of time its just another internet sexual deviance" This of course is because there is a second Brony documentary within 2 years starring the 2 same researchers touting the brony culture as this era defining movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Brony_Tale  quote:Canadian voice-over artist, Ashleigh Ball, has been the voice of numerous cartoon characters. However, when she was hired as the voice of Applejack and Rainbow Dash on the 4th generation installment of Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, she had no idea she was about to become an internet phenomenon and voice celebrity among a very unique type of fan, the Bronies. Bronies, or "Bro"-"Ponies", are a subculture of teenage and adults, mostly male, fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and adopt the show's themes of kindness, loyalty, generosity, honesty, laughter, friendship, and personal responsibility. A Brony Tale follows Ashleigh into this unknown world, to the 2012 BronyCon – and challenges some deep felt preconceptions.[2][3] The film also includes footage and interviews with Bronies taken at the "Canterlot Gardens" convention held in mid-2012 near Cleveland, Ohio.[4] I think on some level Ball has cracked and the only way to reconcile the hordes of fan mail she gets from 30-year-olds talking about how much they want to gently caress Applejack & Rainbow Dash is to pretend that this is some magical (lol) phenomenon that is going to heal a post 9/11 world and bring a shared utopia upon us. So, the 1920s was the Jazz Age, the 60s was the era of the Hippies, and now the 2010s will be the Brony Epoch.

If the preaching of hippies is at least partly responsible for the generally more peaceful and accepting society we have today, does that mean equine-specific bestiality will be protected by law in the year 2064?

The series has been renewed for 6 more years. It's going to be 2020 before it ends and Hasbro has all the names under legacy trademarks like Optimus Prime and Cobra Commander so they'll never go away. Also beware the Jem and the Holograms movie/anime series.

No because at their core, hippies liked things that were totally reasonable, like peace and free love and smoking lots of weed. They just became annoying about it. Bronies like a children's cartoon show that isn't even very good. So it's pretty difficult to sympathize although I honestly don't give much of a gently caress.

Watched the first couple episodes just to see what all the fuss was about and it just seems very simple, like 5-year-old simple. And not in a way that's secretly hilarious to adults. It's literally a show for 5 year olds.
