Quote from Arch-AngelI found out about Bronies yesterday and what it means, and watched a few videos that were posted, and I can honestly say that I am not convinced.
I am all for open mindedness and being tolerant of others but Jesus Christ we're taking this more out of hand than people do to the Bible :/
Anyone who is a man and believes in respecting what it means to be a man will have a problem with this.
What happened to DragonBall Z and Courage the Cowardly Dog and Ed, Edd, and Eddy? These cartoons taught all of the same morals as people claim MLP teaches to people.
Also, fuck friendship. I'm all for inner peace, self enlightenment, and attaining One with the Universe, but to try to make everyone your friend and believe in so much more is stupid.
A world without segregation, difference, and complete world peace is chaos.
Look at the trends over the past few generations. Gay rights movements, along with equal rights movements have become a very real thing since even just the 90's.
Perfect example: A kid in my school is gay, and he dresses and acts like a girl. No one really says anything to him, but guys don't really hang out with him. People used to get the shit beat out of them for that sort of stuff.
I understand times are changing at it is important to seek equality and overall tolerance of our neighbors, but perfect equality will fuck the system. Men and women are not equal and shouldn't be treated as such. Men are not the same as women. How do I know this? Science of course. Testosterone and Estrogen. There are things women are going to naturally be way better at than men and in vice versa. Men like different things than women, the same as how women like different things than men. To claim to believe in a cartoon because of it's message and to support men watching it and expect the whole rainbow pony shit to just be ignored is stupid. There are plenty of other ways and methods of entertainment that contain all of these same life lessons and morals, and they don't result in the overall confusion and issues you are going to spread to your kids. Whether any of us want to believe it or not the reality of the matter is that this life is a constant competition, and it is important to learn to prioritize yourself first as soon as possible to get ahead in this life.
I'm not necessarily downing the whole Bronie thing, even though the name itself is gay (sorry, truth hurts), but some peoples justification is just fucking jaded.
The way real heterosexual men see this is going to be: "My Little Pony is the same thing as Dora the Explorer."
Oh, but you all forgot about Dora and all of the lessons she teaches because she's Spanish, right? Need I ask about Diago?
I have a video all of you Bronies should watch:
If the excessive vulgarity and the fact that being a Bronie means that you're going to be branded a faggot offends you, then sorry but you're the same type of person that when shit hits the fan you don't know have the constitution or the resolve to deal with your own issues without breaking down.
You're absolutely right. I'm a faggot.
Anyway. I don't call myself a brony, however I did watch a bunch of the episodes when I was curious about it just as you are now. Basically asides from the animation, which is pretty awesome, it is really easy to become attached to the characters and their story. There is such significant character development and very often the situations that happen in the program are relatable to the experiences had in younger years. Plus, its really cute. Its a euphoric sort of world with very little corruption and I guess it can sort of make you feel happy. I think one of the main reasons why people become, and then stay bronies is because of the communities. I've only really seen the gaming communities because there are fucking loads of bronies on tf2, but if you just look around the web etc you will see the community is thriving and doing things, for instance there are a lot of pretty decent brony songs on youtube.
What I don't understand really is when people try and become a character, acting like a specific pony. I think that's a bit overkill. And the nsfw fan fiction is just wtf..
I'm sure you can go more in-depth into the psychological reasons why some people become addicted to it, but whats the point.
I'm also the biggest faggot that you will ever meet. Send me PM's of gay men having sex.

I think arguably the quality of the show overall is sub-par. The animation is really not as good as everyone pretends it is, it's made for TV on the cheap using Flash and shit. They noticeably cut a lot of corners, and when you compare it to other cartoons like, I'd say Gravity Falls, the animation (not the style, style is completely subjective) is really stiff and jarring. It's like comparing new simpsons v old simpsons (Marge's 5 frame head-turn). Some shows really focus on certain aspects like, I think it was Chaotic or Chaotix or something had really good effects animation, but the rest was so-so. I don't really see anything MLP focuses on, they seem to just use the minimum amount so they can tell the story. There's nothing WRONG with that, but it needs to be acknowledged because a lot of people say the show has good animation. It's a TV show just like any other.

The bottom line is there's no reason why MLP should be so popular. There is nothing above average about it. The only reason it has a cult following is because it started out as just another internet joke. Another symbol of just how indifferent 4chan and the likes were. Now every kid and his dog wants to be like them, so they pretend to like the show.
Now it's gone so far, some of you are actually deluded into thinking you really do love the show. You fantasize about it. Hell you probably search MLP porn on a regular basis.
The difference between fans of MLP and fans of other shows is simple. Fans of other shows are fans because they actually enjoy their shows, not because they want to be like every other little boy on the internet, participating in some kind of internet cult.

>That no fans actually enjoy the show.
People have different tastes. Some people like things that you would pay not to do. Of course there are tools who pretend to like the show just for the hell of it, but nobody has the right to make the claim that nobody legitimately enjoys this show because of that. There's no universal definition of what is a good or a bad show.
Entertainment value is completely subjective.
And what exactly would be the difference of entertainment gained from a delusion as opposed to "normal" entertainment?

Guys, when you say that no fans enjoy the show, you're forgetting about me here.

Quote from CobaltI edited my response to clarify what I didn't understand.
Also on the actual topic of the thread. I watched the first 3 episodes to see what all the hubbub was about. It just wasn't entertaining to me. The plot wasn't deep enough so I got bored of it easily.
I watched the first episode and honestly the only reason I watched it the whole way through was because I liked the smoothness of the animation. But there are plenty of shows that are just as smooth in animation as that one so I cant really comprehend why people love it so much. I honestly don't understand why people seem to defend the show with their life. That's really the only thing that pisses me off about bronys. You say anything that contradicts what they think of the show and they will be on your ass like an angry puma. On the other hand, there are bronys that are cool that just happen to like the show and use way too many pony memes (such as shaq-of-all-trades, he doesn't care if other people don't like it, so he's not an annoying addict like the rest). I'm tired of seeing these ponys fucking everywhere though. Its seriously getting old.

Wait.
You get pissed off, because you don't understand why someone enjoys something that you don't? Oh boy.
Quote from CruelYou say anything that contradicts what they think of the show and they will be on your ass like an angry puma.
Why would you feel the need to criticize a show that you don't watch in the presence of fans of the show? I'v never seen any brony (Though to be fair, I haven't really dealt much with the idiotic ones.) get angry because of any criticism directed at the show itself. Most criticism is towards the bronies themselves, and when it comes to personal insults, most people will get pissed. Brony or not.
Quote from CruelI'm tired of seeing these ponys fucking everywhere though. Its seriously getting old.
That's your problem.
You could also say: "I'm tired of seeing all this anime everywhere! It's getting old!" I'm pretty sure that as far as most old people are concerned, anime looks like cartoons for little kids.
Jan 27, 2013 10:40 PM #864652
Quote from CobaltWhat the fuck are you talking about Arch-Angel? You basically just said people who like this cartoon are faggots and watching this show will turn men gay. You go on to say that people being gay is destroying society or will destroy society. Are you out of your fucking mind?! It's just a cartoon for god's sake. It's not like any amount of rainbows or cuteness will turn a heterosexual man into a homosexual one. It doesn't work that way. Besides you equating your distaste for gay people to this show you didn't really explain what was wrong with it. Could you restate your opinion because it seems like you meant to say something else, but came off wrong.
I don't have any problems with homosexuals. It's sort of like the equivalence of a mother putting headphones over her stomach while pregnant and listening to Mozart to stimulate the brain development of the fetus. Kida are impressionable to say the least and if any boys watch this then they could have mixed realities when they grow up. It would save them a lot of confusion. My comment was directed so much towards it being a cartoon and reflecting on the kids that watched it, but how people being open minded for boys/men to enjoy this form of entertainment is just sick and wrong. Men should not watch this show. Boys should not watch this show, and Men should not be okay with their boys watching this show. The end result is bisexuality.
Quote from MiniManYEAH ARCH-ANGEL! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT YOUR WORDS CARRY? YOU FUCKING MADMAN!
This made me laugh.

I'm sorry. But I heard you saying that you were open-minded about this. Yet you say that watch this show will turn men into gays, are you kidding? You must be kidding.
Jan 27, 2013 11:06 PM #864672
Arch-angel to some degree has a point.when kids are younger, the things they watch,see and read and other things have an effect on their personality and just the way they live.At least, some times.When a kid sees and watches on B-street, he is most likely going to do them self.Like start excessively saying curse words, do drugs, own lots of guns illegally, hustle, and say 'nigga' all the time. So if a boy watches a show meant for a girl, it could in fact, effect the way they live.They start to think acting more feminine is the way to go.Which is uh........Im not going to say any more on that.But this doesn't happen all the time.

Peace of shit! I'm a brony and my fiancee is a girl. So you should stop lying for god's fucking sake man.
Jan 27, 2013 11:18 PM #864677
How does one's sexuality tie into the show they enjoy... That makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Jan 27, 2013 11:19 PM #864680
I used to love mlp as a kid. I used to use all the plastic ponies as bath toys and wash their hair it was lovely. I never knew there was a show when I was younger though.
Before the craze was well known, I tried watching the show because I wanted to incorporate it into a "scene" look, even though I didn't like the show at all. I got to an episode where they were singing and that was it for me. I can say I honestly see zero redeeming qualities about the show and I can't understand the fanbase, but I'm sure anyone could turn that on me about anything I craze over so I just can't judge.
Honestly if you don't like the show or the fanbase or whathaveyou, avoidance is best.

Im not saying people shouldn't watch the show.But it could have an impact on children, just how others shows do(sometimes)
it probably wont even make then gay or anything, just help influence the way they think.
