I dont see how bronies are different from anime fans or video game fans.

Is that how people see me when I told them I watch anime??!?!?!!

Suddenly the isolation made sense......



Edit:All the time I laughed at the bronies, that's how other sees me too T_T........ Thank you bronies, THANK YOU!

Spoiler

still not going to quit

 

[cajunator]

Didn't you like Saikano?

Oh yes.
Sometimes I also like horrifically depressing things too.

 

[alfredofroylan]

who wears Brony shirts in public?

I have this one, it looks good, it remainds me the Sleeping Forest from FF VII.

 

[butter_stick]

:lol

 

[Tornado Condor]

I like Amir0x but sheesh, he got a little too carried away here.

 

[metalslimer]

Uh....is this the first time Ami has been banned post mod? Wow....

 

[PastorOfMuppets]

Is there any particular reason why My Little Pony doesn't have a big fanbase of the people it's targeted towards - that is little girls?

 

[markot]

Are they actually into the series or is this like some meta joke thing?

They get creeped out by the other fans.

Im sure that fanbase also exists, but little girls dont hang out on the internet posting all day and making pony remixes.

They have, but little girls don't go to conventions, they don't spent hundreds of dollars in toys, they don't argue on Internet boards and they rarely do cosplay... but when they do cosplay they rock.

Yes they are actually into it, if by it you mean the show.

By all ratings, Friendship is Magic is actually doing fairly well in the target audience.

 

[ElyrionX]

If I were to base my impressions of the show's fanbase on my readings on GAF, I'd think that the show has no adult female fans. Does it? Assuming that these female fans do exist, what do they think of the brony label given that it is quite obviously gender-specific?

 

[Aselith]

This is where Valve will announce Half-Life 3

 

[jerry1594]

Uh....is this the first time Ami has been banned post mod? Wow....

Not at all. It doesn't mean much. He's a GAF darling and this is more like a way to ease any potential bad feels with people he disagrees with.

If you were to base your impressions of anything's fanbase on your readings of GAF, you'd think it has no adult female fans.

 

[Uchip]

no problem with the show or people (men) that watch it.
when they try and make it cool or perverse then im going to ask them to take a retrospective look at themselves

why is there so many tf2 brony videos?!

 

[Poyunch]

Rainbow Dash, motherfuckers. I used to watch MLP. First Season was fun but I stopped after the Second Season's first episode. I don't think I gave it a fair shake because I hated the pilot episodes too. The fanbase can get a bit crazy though so I'm not upset I stopped associating myself with it. Plus Party of One was basically a perfect episode so I feel like I've seen enough.

 

[Tomat]

I come back to see amirox banned... Man what the hell did I miss? This thread got weirder

 

[Jinfash]

I heard Amir0x got banned here so I came to see. It's trending on twitter.

Edit: by Odin it's true!

Shut up you introverted manchild.

Even though you are a manchild it's okay, so embrace being rarity with open arms.

Does news of bannings really become a hot topic? Thats pretty unbelievable.

 

[Jinfash]

When it's as ironic as "Amir0x taken down by ponies" it does!

 

[Aselith]

Probably not any banning but Amirox is quite unpopular judging by youtube comments from videos that get linked from Gaf.

Are we sure that he got banned for this thread though? I didn't see anything banworthy in his last few posts.

 

[Tomat]

I dont see how bronies are different from anime fans or video game fans.

Anime and video games aren't inerently kids shows. There are different games for different audiences.

Remember, they crucified Jesus, too.

Amir0x
Banned

Man MLP fans are like the Wu-Tang Clan of introverted man-children, nothing to fuck wit.

Protect ya goddamn neck!

whatever helps you sleep at night

I'm not going to lie and say they either medium is I incredibly mature, but isn't MLP aimed directly at children? There are definitely some games and anime that are not aimed at children.

 

[pje122]

What an embarrassing thread... especially Xzeon.
Ami, I'm pouring one out for you tonite. Keep it real.

 

[cajunator]

I sleep during the daaaaaaayyyyy

oh wow
I was sure that there was no way my post could be taken seriously
but there you go :S

yes its aimed at children
young children.
I can watch something like Gravity Falls without feeling like im too old for it
MLP always had this nagging feeling of "shouldnt you be doing something else with your life"

 

[Acerac]

The creator of the show went out of her way to make it accessible to all ages.

Let me ask you, are you one of those people who thinks that Nintendo games are solely for kids?

Thread title change required.

I can't tell with you, I don't talk to you very often

Now I feel bad

The creator of the show went out of her way to make it accessible to all ages.

No I do not think that about Nintendo games. I do still think they MLP is primarily aimed at children.

 

[Crash Station]

Oh yes, yes there're a lot of animes worse than Lucky Star.

You suck, Green Green is hilarious!

 

[-COOLIO-]

the truth is that not everyone in this earth is going to be talented socially. many people are introverts.

there are introverts who are talented and seductive conversationalists. the classic james bond character could be considered introverted.

 

[Kusagari]

I wish Ami wasn't banned.

I want to hear what he thinks of Aunt Tits.

 

[Crash Station]

i'll give you a primer

Games ->

1. Animal Crossing
2. Heavy Rain

Movies ->

1. Pluto Nash
2. Sucker Punch

Books ->

1. Sword of Truth
2. Twilight

Animation ->

1. My Little Pony
2. Lucky Star

I know you're banned, but I like 3 of those things. I guess you'll never let me be your friend

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

The first server I joined after downloading TF2 was a MLP server.

There are no words.

 

[Acerac]

No I do not think that about Nintendo games. I do still think they MLP is primarily aimed at children.

Fair enough. Would you take the word of the creator that she was sick of all the horribly inane shows that were targeted at young girls and that she set out to make MLP:FiM different? Yes it is for young girls... and young boys... and their siblings and parents... and whoever the heck else wants to watch it.

I can prolly dig up the quote if you'd like.

 

[Devolution]

Did Ami get banned in here? Hahaha.

 

[Uchip]

Would you take the word of the creator that she was sick of all the horribly inane shows that were targeted at young girls and that she set out to make MLP:FiM different?

honestly, the word of the creator doesn't mean much
shes not going to speak ill of her fanbase and hasbro probably had a gun to her back!

 

[cajunator]

You suck, Green Green is hilarious!

Its worth 7$ of entertainment.

 

[AlexBasch]

Why do I picture this as Adebayor with a Black Ops face and the angry gunner mob with Neogaf orbs as faces.


Anyway, saving for future use.

 

[railGUN]

The target audience is little girls. If grown men want to watch this, and call themselves "bronies", fine, weird, but to each their own. But I don't honestly believe the creators expected the subculture that formed.

 

[Crash Station]

Its worth 7$ of entertainment.

That's worth more than Lucky Star is to me, but I'm not going to chastise anyone for liking that like someone else in here.

Nah, I believe you. I think I read the quote previously.

The only reason I bring this up in the first place was because of the comparison between bronies and video game/anime fans. I think it is a bit of a stretch to compare fans of one show to fans of an entire genre.
