Like all it takes to surpass that point is a couple minecraft videos and recording yourself screaming like a girl while playing [scary game of the month]. Also hippies do suck but they at least did cool things like drugs in a park and listening to music. All bronies do is become youtube celebs and bitch about feminism.

Das Boo posted:Her job requires her to interview a lot of voice actors and she often winds up befriending them. I think the story was that she reblogged a picture of a pony with its head on a skewer from on the her VA friends. It was attributed to her by Bronies, who started spamming her with death threats and poo poo. Then when she was chatting up said VA at a con, she excused herself to the bathroom and was promptly sucker-punched by a man in a Rainbow Dash wig. As far as I know, she still has to get admins on her social media sites to shut down the accounts of her Brony stalkers. And this is why Bronies could climb for a hundred years and not even reach the boots of the most self-absorbed and self-righteous hippie. At least hippies ostentatiously want to make the world better.

So after years of mocking bronies I decided to look at an episode of mlp online to see what it was that they saw in it. and now im a brony  lol no. It was a boring badly animated show for small boring children and all I gained from it is a deeper distaste for the weird "adults" who enjoy it

Pedo and pony loving aside, bronies also have zero concept of 'no one but other bronies like MLP poo poo'. They inject pony bullshit and pony reaction gifs into everyday, normal conversation and then are SHOCKED when all of us are loving annoyed. Know your goddamned audience!

She'll watch MLP just as easily as any other poo poo on netflix. Except with MLP I cringe a little because of all the pedophiles that watch.

According to Nielsen, the 2-5 and 6-11 demographics make up the majority of MLP watchers. Most bronies watch the show online, though, so they could be the real majority. I do know that the girls I babysit love the show and the toys. What's crazy is the number of bronies I've seen that believe the show caters primarily to them and not the demographics it was designed for. (News flash: it doesn't.)

Frankenstyle posted:Darkon is a good one about larpers, with a twist. It's actually made by larpers to show how awesome they are, but they couldn't pull it off so you keep seeing trough the cracks into how they're deeply sad people who ignore their kids and let 'em go hungry so they can afford new nerf bats and poo poo. i have a bunch of friends who recently got into larping. they started out as all 'haha, we're better than all these other nerds, let's smack them with foam bats' and now they go away for LARP weekends and have gross nerd orgies and talk about nothing else and literally do nothing else. and, yeah, if they had kids, i bet they'd do that. thing is, these were generally well-adjusted guys until they started it.

Jesus loving christ dude...  Leaving the fat weirdo virgin poopsockers to their own devices is a horrible idea. Its a perfect example of "slippery slope". First its weirdo cartoon poo poo and next its something much worse. I think its a group that could easily turn into predators.

A grad student I knew a couple years ago was really into MLP. When I went into his office his shelves were full of magical girl rayearth DVDs and other little girl animes. He now teaches in Japan. Based on a sample size of 1, I think MLP appeals to the same sort of person as little girl animes, except it's in english and when it first started didn't already have a strong internet stigma built up. Of course bronies quickly built a much stronger stigma but by then it was too late.

i haven't seen it for a while now, but i've always sort of liked spongebob. it probably had a lot to do with excessive marijuana consumption, though. are there, i don't know, spongies or something? i've only masturbated to it a few times though so i don't think that counts

Panfilo posted:Ok so maybe I'm getting old but I'm still shaking my head and trying to understand what the gently caress is up with Bronies: Also, MLP has existed since the 1980s, but it wasn't until this specific new iteration that suddenly legions of adult men are obsessed with it. It's mostly due to the prevalence of the internet as a rallying point for like minded fans and the obsession with sexualizing cartoon characters. Given its a cartoon show with an all female cast (more or less) and the ponies are now more anthropomorphized then their previous shows it was inevitable that the internet would get a hold of it and turn it into something weird.

No, bronies aren't special or new. Every five years or so there's a new 'counter culture' of grown men who love a kiddy show and make porn of it and act like it's the first time this has ever been done before. What was the last one? Lucky star? Lazy town? Ichigo mashimaro? and before that Cardcaptor Sakura, it goes on and on... All the way back to the days when Tiny Toons was whispered around newsgroups as the example of how fans should keep a low profile now that show creators can go online as see who's watching their show and what they're 'getting' from watching it. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tiny+toon+adventure&defid=796584 http://unpromisedone.blogspot.fr/2012/11/meet-dennis-quozl-falk-man-who-got-tiny.html Bronies are just the latest iteration of pedophilic manchildren to latch on to a 'girls' show, corrupt it, revel in the taboo then call themselves victims of bullying. Humbert Humbert has a boo boo because people ~just don't understand~ his love of nymphettes and his purity of heart. He is a poet, merely expressing his soul. How dare people condemn him. See you in five years with whatever new cartoon the next gen latch on to.
