GreatBunzinni: phaseolus: Y'know, I've never watched the show. But one of my pet peeves is insecure men obsessed with manliness who keep blathering about man cards and lecturing the rest of us on what's proper. So you know what? Because of you and a few others in this thread, I'm going to give this show a shot.

Because fark you, nobody tells me how to act like a man.

Who are you fooling? By the way that pointing the obvious touched your nerve, I bet you are already a faithful follower of the series.


No.

If I had, I not only would admit it, I would be overstating how much I like the show because fark you nobody tells me how to be a man.

The pilot episodes are incredibly weak to be honest, and not a good intro episode to someone new to the series. It's better if you start midseason, possibly with Dragonshy or Bridle Gossip.

I would suggest "lesson one" or "best night ever" as good stand alone episodes. The first ep was pretty lame by comparison.

oh_please: Zerocyde: But I never wore a farking PPG t-shirt. I never went to a farking PPG convention. I never called myself a "Power Puff Guy." I never shiatted up internet communities with pictures I had drawn of the Power Puff Girls.

Why? BECAUSE I'M NOT A GODDAMNED LITTLE GIRL!


That's not what it's about. It's about being a part of some cool exclusive club, and when most people find it creepy, that only reinforces the whole "so uncool it's cool" thing. It's like a clique in high school, except they're not in high school, and it's retarded. Then when they get called out on it, it's all WHARGARRRRBL WHAT ABOUT SPORTS PERSONAL FREEDOM I'M A CRUSADER, blah blah blah, when it's not about that at all, it's a need to belong to something.

Bronies, do what you want, like what you want, it's cool...but don't pretend that this whole thing is anything other than a need to belong to something. Personally, I think you guys could choose something less creepy, but whatever.


Hmm, maybe that's why I've always thought of bronies in much the same way I think of juggalos.

I don't know what the fark late-teens and young-twenties guys, the latter of whom are only 10 years behind me, are getting influenced by, but between the lame Justin Bieber forward-flop haircuts, emo-style jeans and farking Bronies, a major section of an entire generation needs to hand over their man cards until they either (a) grow up or (b) their balls drop.

While I understand that socially-awkward nerds and geeks (and on some subjects I'm a pretty big geek myself) have a social need to find a common passion to join in friendship and a sense of belonging with others, especially when their aforementioned awkwardness has prevented that in the past, identifying with a show for 12-year-old girls is farking ridiculous... as in deserving of ridicule.

Bronies fall into the furry and clown-sex category of "deviant" as far as I care... they're disturbing and saying that the show is good and that's why they identify with a 12-year-old girl demographic is not sufficient. I've seen the show at my kid's friend's house (who's a girl) and I couldn't have given a lesser shiat about it; it was exactly like described: intended for pre-teen girls, and just, well, for a young-thirties engineer, lame. It's not redefining masculinity any more than any of the other lame crap socially-awkward late-teens and college kids get into, trying to find some identity. Hopefully these losers grow up before I have to have them on my IPT at work.

I thought you bronies only liked this crap ironically. But to listen to some of you neckbeards so aggressively defend your love for a little girl's cartoon. This is.... this is just weird guys.

I get liking Cartoons as an adult. I'm rounding the bend on 30, and the Venture Brothers is one of my favorite shows of all time. Admittedly I always thought that Anime fans were mostly secret pedophiles, and I am still correct about that. I don't think liking "My little pony" as an adult man makes you a pedo in the way Anime does (unless MLP prominently features incest and impossibly breasty 11 year old japanese girls, in which case, I really have the wrong impression of MLP). I do think I would recommend getting your hormone levels checked though, and lay off the soy.

I said this before, and I'll say it again, and I quote:

"I like the show, i wont deny it... It is actually refreshing to find a good show with really good writing, character development and great musical score... That its about pastel colored marshmallow ponies is secondary

That being said, as much as i am a fan of the show, i dont go around shoving it down other people's throats; if people show interest, i will recommend some good intro episodes, since the pilot is rather weak, but you will never see me going all "you must watch this show! YOU MUST!!"

Also, if you dont like the show, that is fine as well, just dont be a dick about it."

You think maybe people would be less "aggressively defensive" if people stopped calling them weird, creepy, pedophiles, etc?

Generally, as with any fandom, people keep to themselves. Until you start name-calling.

//if your masculinity is threatened because someone likes watching a fun show about candy colored ponies, you're the one with the problem, not me.

It's not your masculinity that I am worried about so much as your intelligence. Just how retarded do you have to be to be obsessed with something that has a target audience of little girls.

/maybe it's the little girls you're interested in?


It's really sad that the first thing you think about when someone mentions cartoons is having sex with little kids. Maybe you should try to work on that.

For me (can't believe I'm still here) it's more like My Little Pony is simply the best show to come down the pike in a long time. (Cartoon-wise, plenty of good dramas and movies) It's just well done.

Considering the crap we've been getting as cartoon shows lately, people who like cartoons have been a bit pent up. MLP popped the cork on a lot of bottled nostalgia for people who grew up with good cartoons.

That, and the fan art community is like 100 bigger than any other I can think of. Seriously, I dunno if it was putting Q in the show and calling all Trekkies or something, but fuggin seriously tons of people out there are drawing ponies. Sure, in Japan, there's some hardcore doujinshi artists for each series. My Little Pony is like all of the artists for all of the series got together and said to the ponies like Leonidas to his troops "Take from them nothing! Give to them EVERYTHING!"
