They all look the way I expected. Fedoras, haircuts from the 90's, arms bent in strange ways/strange gestures, plaid shirts, thick-glasses.
 
Brony purchases 100 McDonald apple pies to construct fortress for stuffed pony

whoa.
 
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.

I'm not really defending or judging them. Just noting that while they ultimately do little harm, the modern world is simply too conservative to accept them fully. At best they'll be a curio of the times, at worst, they're just a step or two above child rapists.


As for nothing wrong with judging; nothing wrong until that judgement starts to entail social/financial/etc ostracization. I mean, moving the context from an area that is pretty easy to reject on an intuitive emotional basis (like Bronies), to one where you know it's not problematic in its harmfulness (and thus there is no merit to negative judgement for it), but is often negatively judged anyway - like homosexuality... you can quickly understand why judgementalism can be a problematic social trait - because it runs independently of actual rights and wrongs, in favour of stating and fortfying (without justification) feelings of emotional disgust.
 
No surprise whatsoever that none of them look like they've been inside a gym before.
Most people haven't been inside of a gym before.
The fuck is wrong with ya'll? These dudes are just living their lives and have gained friendship with each other thanks to My Little Pony. Why is that a big deal? Why should anyone be mocked for a hobby that's harmless I'm sure some of you are going to act the same way come Sunday when the Wii U is released. But that's different because it's you and not them, right? You'd think people posting on an internet message board about fucking video games and other "geeky" topics would have a little more respect to those that get ridiculed for hobbies and personal likes that aren't necessarily popular with the mainstream and get made fun of constantly. Christ, this boils my blood. Ya'll should know better.

Then again, I don't even know why I'm surprised. It happens in Console Wars, DC vs Marvel, Star Wars vs Star Trek, ect... Now, it's happening with these bronies. "Geeky" people are always looking to put another group down to look superior. Fucking dumb.
This post is true and right, but I still can't help being weirded out by MLP and its neckbearded spawn.
 
Man, you're so lucky you're a robot drone thing I haven't researched yet. Else I'd run you out into plasma fire like I run Unknown every three days.
I'm working on it! Admitting you have a problem is the first step and all that. It's especially dumb since I'm an anime nerd and we catch a lot of the same flak.

Also gief moar updates plx
 
just actually watched this video...

got to the end... it jump cuts to the fortress....

and its Luna.

WHAT THE FUCK.

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK.

HOW IS IT NOT APPLEJACK!?!?!??!?!?!

YOU BUY ONE HUNDRED APPLE PIES FOR YOUR PONY AND ITS NOT EVEN APPLEJACK??!??!?!

FUCK YOU.

This has me dying of laughter
 
How much do 100 pies cost? The average GAFfer uses more to buy games each month that they don't play or a new piece of keyboard that makes them "a batter gamer", just sayin.
 
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.
I wasn't sure if I liked this post as I read it.... but the last line sold me.

It's in the video. $97.01
And holy shit at that Happy Meal video. I've never seen anything so cringe-worthy, and that's saying a lot.

He bought pies to make a fort out of the boxes for his plush pony.

One hundred of them.

Read that out loud.
 
I saw this play castle at the dollar store that you can color with crayons and is made of cardboard that probably would've made a much better castle for Princess Luna.

Under one hundred bucks. Read that aloud. Then visit the geek gaf thread where people buy realistic batman dolls for five times the price of this pie monument and report back.
 
He paid money for a hat made out of code.

He pretends to be an elf with a bunch of his friends every Saturday.

He still watches cartoons from Japan, even though he's 25.

He spends his free time on the internet talking about video games.

Honestly, I could do this all day.

About time someone comes and puts things in perspective on neogaf.

Buying a hundred pies to build a fort for a toy pony is worse though. Plus you've got to consider all that wasted food.

Go and try and sell those pies for $100 bucks again.

People can spend money on whatever they want and I have no issues with it myself, but that's a bad comparison. You can resell collectibles to others. You can't resell 100 pies after buying them and he's not going to be able to eat them all.
 
I wonder if pie guy will post a video of his ant problem later.

Yep. I'm not saying the guy is a bit loony, but quite harmless and not that different from other nerd enthusiasts.
 
The bronies i know are over the age of 23 play card games, are single, and live with their parents. I invited them over to a super bowl party i had last year and they sat at the poker table we had set up and played some card game with street fighter characters.

If you deal with them one on one they are good guys but in a group they are a bag of dicks.

Did you know if they liked football beforehand?
