Anything would be awesome after a Criminal Minds induced nightmare. I can't trust anyone for days every time I watch that show.Well I saw it on tv one morning after a criminal minds induced nightmare, gave it a try and it was actually pretty awesome.

Could someone explain to me why anyone over the age of a fetus thinks Adventure Time is anywhere remotely funny/entertaining?
This. As to why so much fan created content exists? I dunno. I personally think it has something to do with Friendship is Magic being part of a franchise that really has no right to ever be anything but saccharine pap. Something about the dissonance makes fans more expressive.Why do people older than 6 watch any cartoon? Gee...

Well I deal with the two hows involved.
1.How can adults like a show about ponies?
Lauren Faust rebooted a quality dead franchise by getting an A team of animators, writers, composers/musicians, and voice actors to make a show targeted at the family audience in the same way Pixar does with movies.
Faust really wanted to get her own series made, Galaxy Girls, but Hasbro only offered MLP. She decided to make the best of it by ^
Bronies enjoy the quality made show created by all this.
2:How can can a "girly" show gain such popularity.
The Internet, and its anonymity.
The internet allows users to have a faces less avatar not connected to them. Allowing them to explore interest they would normally keep bottled up.(the whole niche entertainment movement the internet brought forth that helped other entertainment properties, like with anime)
Then throw in a good helping of meme advertising and you have popularity.
Why do people older than 6 play Mario?
Because It's fun!
Why do people older than 6 watch My Little Pony?
Because It's 20% cooler, in 10 seconds flat
Good answer. Very, very good answerWell I deal with the two hows involved.

Because of this man.

One is a sexual fetish, the other... well, furries just defy classification. How is that at all related to the fandom of a unexpectedly good quality T.V. show. (personally, I think the whole "unexpected" part is a good part of why it's so popular)Probably the same reason furries and bestiality fans exist.

There have not been nearly enough threads about baked goods on ot for a while.Not mainstream or short-lived enough to be a fad. It's just a genuinely good show. The reason (I think) that there's so much fanwork and image macros and the like is because My Little Pony, as a franchise, really has no right being good, so people are very open and forward about it as a sort of shock factor.It could be a fad. I'm wondering what's with so many pics.

Are you asking how to become a brony so you can fit in? This reminds me of a Will & Grace episode where a guy was pretending to be gay to fit in.Oh, you're a Brony? Yeah you look like this.

Yeah, I've seen that one meet-up image thrown around a lot. There's some normal looking people there, there's plenty of creepy looking people there, and they're all in their dank nerd dungeon. How about a few other pictures?
This one, obviously, is from Singapore.
This one's in Poland
This is DC
Here's one from Brazil.
Vancouver here. I'm the guy in the 20% cooler T-Shirt.
Boston
And last but not least, Queensland Australia
Equestria Daily usually has one or two pictures of this sort, every night, from all around the world.
Pretty, normal looking, average bunch of guys and girls, right? Not creepy, overweight nerds, or strange old men with funny beards?
Edit: Don't bother telling me that I screened this for only the good pictures. I simply searched "Vancouver Brony Meetup" on Equestria Daily, and took all the meet-up pictures from the top five or so Nightly Round-up results, plus the ones from tonight's Nightly Roundup.
[QUOTE="Rikusaki"]What was the point of that? One guy decided to post some of the worst group pics to be found. I posted a random selection of group pics to say "Hey... be fair." You're just being disruptive however. sorry lolOh, has this become a post your pic thread?
