So watched an episode on YouTube (or rather a few minutes of one). I mean, the animation seems quirky enough to attract some out-of-demo viewership and the show itself seems decent enough....but a cult following? A MALE cult following? I don't get it.

Yeah, this phenomenon is completely inexplicable to me as well.

I can understand why some people are Juggalos, Nickelback fans, liked Aaron Sorkin's HBO show the Newsroom, Star Trek and Star Wars but My Little Pony is...yeah.

Ok, I could only watch that video up until he was going to complain that he got the same pony twice, then I was too embarrassed for him to keep watching. Did he get the pony he wanted?

Is this ANOTHER bizarre obsession that I'm not aware of? lol

Maybe they wouldn't have to seek out other fans to form a group if, at the very least, other nerds weren't attacking them for liking the show.

I believe juggalo's are not just ICP fans. But fans of them are indeed part of the juggalo community.

 

[Nevasleep]

I'm a fan of Juggalettes.

Its not a subject I particularly care to study about. I just let them do their thing.

Most of the comments I've heard/read focus on the happy and innocent nature of the ponies. So perhaps it's just pure escapism writ large

Are you sure it wasn't something about pedophilia you heard? because it sounds a lot like it.
