i'm guessing it's a jab at the juvenile content and aesthetics of metal bands, or how they're perceived anyway, focusing especially on their histrionic material and delivery that's perhaps more suited to the grosser tastes of teenagers (who insist Linkin Park's Crawling has more complexity and nuance than the whole of western animation other music and plebs just don't get this)

between hair metal and death metal bands, you run the whole gamut of shonen jump fashion tips for young men while typical subject matter in other sub-genres sometimes include dragons and fantasy book allusions, fedora-tipping ballads to Sagan and hot takes on phil 101 concepts to really seize the trenchcoat wearing market by the balls

Don't forget 'I read a newspaper for the first time the world is bleak and dead and the man is eeeeviiiil'

I don't really think there's anything wrong with liking anime or SU or even MLP. What's weird is making that a large part of your identity.

If you're a creepy gently caress, that's a totally separate quality that might be correlated to liking MLP, but I still don't feel like making fun of someone for watching the show. If they're worth making fun of then they'll give me something specific to work with.

There is a distinction between the fans and the weird fans but i think liking stuff like that still says something about you. If you like steven universe for example I think there is maybe a 5% chance we're going to get along, and that is contingent on you never trying to talk to me about the show.

The poo poo/quality ratio of music in the country and rap genres is roughly the same as music in other genres. Saying you listen to "uh anything but country and rap" just lets me know that you listen to anime and video game soundtracks.

I don't think it's a coincidence that these two genres are the ones most closely associated with specific stereotypes and those two genres being the most commonly written off ones.

:agreed:

If there were no such thing as mlp there might not be bronies per se but there'd still be the kind of people who fall nose deep into obsession doing some other dumb thing. It's not really damning of the normal fans that these weirdos also exist in their group imuo.

I do, however, think that the creepier fans do lay bare the worst parts of their favorite franchise or whatever - for example extremely left/right autocratics sometimes get real deep into certain science fictions because there's something in those properties that appeals to those sorts and then attracts them in numbers. I don't really criticize people just for their tastes alone, but I can sometimes be critical of the actual franchise for catering to strange tastes. Sometimes a show really does earn the neckbeard of its fanbase when it makes sure to include cheesecake or whatever.

The animation technique of South Park is subtly sublime, and it should be questioned why that format is not employed more often compared to the current trend of 3D animation.

Frozen is by far the worst movie Disney has ever been involved in and is the only one I've seen that I was so displeased with it I turned it off within 20 minutes.
