I love you.
 
Y'know, even after... how long's it been, 2? 3 years? It's still weird that grown ass men are this attached to a little children's cartoon.
 
This show must be completely awesome and I must not get it for some reason. From what I've seen, it's no better or worse than anything on Nick Jr or PBS Kids.
 
:55 in-

"What is the most sexual attractive part of the pony?"

"The plot."

"The what?"

"The plot."

"What part of the pony is that?"

"The rear end."


Is this why bronies always say they watch it for the "plot"?

that came from this meme pic:

it started pretty early in the shows run, and it just caught on as a huge joke p much.

Jesus christ this is devastating.

edit: I am devastated.

he claims to actually have autism, but i dont know if he really does or not.

have fun.
 
Bronies are interested in one show and its characters, specifically.

Furries enjoy a much wider range of characters, art styles and species.
 
This is a pretty good set of tiers for any fanbase really

It's part of a greater set of tiers for all humanity.

Tier 1 is good people you like.

Tier 2 and 2.5 is people who are okay-to-indifferent-to-don't-like but no good reason for it.

Tier 3 is people who annoy you.

Tier 4 is people you avoid at all costs.

Tier 5 is ohmygodpleasedon'thurtme.
 
What's the difference?

One is interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.

The other enjoys a cartoon about fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.


Obviously there's some crossover, but it is possible to enjoy a theme without being required to enjoy every show that includes those themes, and it's also possible to enjoy a show without having any special attachment to any of it's themes. It's also possible for neither one to revolve around sex.
 
I always figured these 'fans' are doing it to be ironic/troll you know just for shiggles basically.

I honestly think it may have started that way on 4chan back in the day, but then in a weird way it kind of reversed itself along with people not really getting the joke. Mob mentality and pop culture are curious things.
 
Bronies aren't necessarily bad people (not like Republicans are).

But society just isn't ready for them yet.

When we're in post-scarcity with matrix+ quality VR, where people are every goddamn thing under the sun (whatever they feel like been at that particular moment)...

Bronies are going to fit in quite nicely there. People not judging about the shit you like, because no one has the power to disenfranchise you with their conservative attitudes.

But before we get there... we've got a box for grown men that are enamored with a children's cartoon show and its characters.

It's a box that's rightly or wrongly, pretty goddamn close to the one marked pedophiles.

Wait...I don't know if you're defending bronies or if you're saying they're pedophiles...This is a bit confusing. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with judging people for the shit they like and there's nothing wrong with having a conservative attitude.
 
Well, they do look like sad creatures.
