I've avoided this topic altogether. It's actually scary that grown men want to watch a show for little girls. I remember when the avatarrs started popping up on GAF. I kept on thinking that it must be some joke / meme that I wasn't getting.
I'm fine with letting people be who they want to be. Watch what you want to watch. I just know where my head is. I'm a 31 year old man with a wife a job and a house. I go to work, watch sports / discovery, play video games, drink beer etc etc. I'm not watching cartoons for little girls.

you're boring because you have nothing better to do than complain about nerds on the internet like some kind of senile old man
Lol, except I am not complaining merely voicing my opinion about people dressing up at conventions, in the same topic where you are voicing your opinion on people dressing up at conventions.
However because we disagree I am the boring senile old man complaining, while you ofcourse are the exciting rightheous young free spirit.

I went to an anime convention once, even though I'm not that into anime but it was the only convention near where I lived for the entire year.Nix said:
You have not gotten off to a great start when the person you're standing in line to get in says for no reason "The Cake is a Lie", you awkwardly nod and say "Yeah I liked Portal a lot too..." and they promptly respond with "WHAT'S PORTAL?".
It was downhill from there.

I was you about three pages ago. This whole thread was freaking me out. Basically this thread is composed of two types of 'fans'.
Guys who watch the 'new' My Little Pony show which is aimed at a 'family audience' like Spongebob rather than 8 yo girls.
And then there are the _____ who watch it because they 'like' it.
Fill in ___ with whatever you like.

Is it all right for grown men to watch shows for little boys though?
Can't we just split this into 4 groups?
Group 1) People that like MLP because it's a cartoon show about ponies. They favour fantasy themed things over real life, would call themselves a furry and generally like that kind of stuff.
They're easily offended when questioned about their liking of the show and their personalities in general, and take a somewhat aggressive and presumptuous stance on group 4.
They typically like Anthropomorphism, Anime in general, cute cuddly and feminine things.
Group 2) People that watch MLP because they favour it's animation quality/humour over the fact it includes ponies.
They like a good TV show, are favourable to kids shows due to their light hearted and humorous nature, and can accept both sides of the argument here.
Group 3) People that don't like MLP for one reason or another, albeit can understand why people watch the show.
They have no particular interest in MLP, but don't mind people watching/enjoying it for whatever reason.
They do get a little annoyed when it's constantly mentioned by the more obsessive fans, but otherwise keep quiet about it
Group4) People that cannot fathom in any way shape or form why people watch a animated TV show aimed at children.
They don't understand or acknowledge the reasons for watching the show, nor are they open to argument. They take a slightly homophobic stance to the discussion,
claiming that the only reason middle-aged male fans watch the show is because they have a twisted and incomprehensible sexual attraction to the characters.
People in this group have already founded their opinions and will not be swayed, especially not by group 1.
Often found to be saying "MLP is for girls".
Oh, and group 5, my group:
Group 5) Idonnevenkare.

This thread was always about that, MLP was mearly a ruse, a distraction if you will. It was placed to just bring out boring people and their boring, petty arguments.Maxim726X said:

Only if it was a show that the grown man in question grew up watching.
At least that's the reasoning one of my friends gave me when I consulted him about the whole Pony thing.
I am an anime/cartoon fan who likes cute cuddly and sometimes feminine things.
However I am in group 2 as to why I actually like the show itself. I saw the episode with "flutterguy" and found it to be fucking hilarious. I watched the rest and found it similarly fun. I was entertained by it like I am entertained by Top Gear , History channel shows, or various anime series.

Well no wonder Power Rangers Samurai is shit - it's all of your fault for making it feel like crap like MMPR!

this thread needs an enema.

Thank-you for being honest! You have perfectly justifiable reasons for being in group 2 like you said, and this shows that people aren't restricted to these 4 categories in terms of interests and personality, but at the end of the day you will find yourself favouring one of the 4 regardless.
Group 5 ftw.

In all seriousness are you sexually-aroused by teaching proper grammar on videogame boards? I merely ask since you seem to be taking it very seriously despite being a grown man. Not accusing you of anything mind you.Busty said:
