How do bronies exist?

It may well be decent, but I bet all these people wouldn't watch it if it wasn't supposed to be a little girls show. If it was just a normal cartoon with exactly the same dialogue it would not have this following. It has the following because "look at us, we don't give a f*** if it's a girls show, ha!". cheese_game619

Maybe the show is good?

Why weren't previous generations of My Little Pony popular? Same thing, right?

We don't watch it because it's "suppose" to be a little girls show. It's the ponies man.....teh ponies...

Anyway, I think you'll find that bronies tend to have this image of not giving a sh*t or whatever, because we know that people can't stand that fact that we actually really do like this show. I'm comfortable with watching this show and enjoying what I enjoy.....but if people are going to get all worked up over something that has nothing to do with them.....well, might as not give a f*ck.

I think it's fine to watch whatever you like... but calling myself a brony would go too far. It's as bad as growing a long fringe and calling yourself a scene kid.SolidSnake35

Just ignore them they can watch whatever they want

[QUOTE="Ilovegames1992"]I can see why people think they're being ironic and cool by "liking" it but i seriously just hope they all get pony AIDS and die.cheese_game619

Or... you like the show.

Ever walked through a Walmart parking lot and along they way you see a couple of brahs driving by real slow, windows down, with gansta rap blasting out of a 1,000 MegaWatt speaker? That's pretty much the real life equivalent of a brony.

[QUOTE="Tylendal"] Your "argument" is based purely on your own assumption though. Do you make the same "argument" for any media that you personally don't find entertaining?Tylendal

No because i can see why people would like stuff. Even if its detestable. This is just a silly bandwagony fad that'll be replaced by something equally deplorable in a year or two, maybe even shorter a time. And the people who like this dirge will move on and like this other thing.

It seriously doesnt have any merit and is a blight on pop culture.

I don't care if references Pepe Le Pew or Blazing Saddles, which aren't actually that good anyway.

There are lots of psychiatric and personality disorders in the world. It's nothing new.

I think it's the chemicals in the water which is turning 20 year olds into preteen girls. They just make up excuses like "it's a quality show" to cover their preteen virginal nature.kuraimen

But it really is a quality show ;)

Actually i'd like to apologise to the people who like this show (i refuse to use the term in the title sorry) as i am being a bit too much of a kunt. Whilst i think the show should go and get pony AIDS. I don't think hating on the people who like it will make it go away so its pointless. Enjoy your show.

I hope you accept my apologies for being a tad too much of a douche.

ITT: A whole lot of trolling going on.

If this were the case, all provious generations of My Little Pony would have been popular as well.Rikusaki

No, because it was just a kids show then. As I said, it may well be decent now, but it has this following because you think you're a badass for watching it or something. Even though the creator gets more money this way, I bet she would take it all back just so she wouldn't have to go to Comic Con or where ever you go and meet all you weirdos.

As I've said many times, I think that's a good part of why there's so much fan material. The show has fans on its own merits, but just how many image macros and remixes and videos, etc., exist, is, in my mind, largely due to what you said, the "look at us" factor. Not that I'm any less guilty. My first t-shirt was subtle, simply said "20% Cooler" My next one, however, was made to look like a Wonderbolts jumpsuit, and once I'm no longer broke, I'm going to be getting an even less ambiguous shirt, probably one featuring Vinyl Scratch. Vinyl Scratch is actually a good example of just how crazy this fandom can be. She appeared for less than five seconds in a single episode, simply to start up a turntable and bob her head a bit. Fans gave her a name (stage name is DJ Pon-3, later acknowledged by the show in a commercial), and there is fanfiction, fan-art, music (both about her, inspired by her, and credited to her), fan animations, videos where she bobs her head in time to pretty much any popular song imaginable, and of course, a radio drama. The colour of her eyes (she was only ever seen with glasses, see my sig) was the subject of a long and fierce debate. Personally though, I think it's pretty cool just how much talent, power, and creativity the fandom wields, how much fan content is produced every hour of the day, every day. As I said earlier today, after seeing a piece of Final Fantasy 7 crossover artwork... "Bronies. There is a line here, and we have clearly... YET TO CROSS IT. FULL STEAM AHEAD!"Tylendal

I can't believe I read all of that. None of it meant anything.

Yawn. It's a good show. That is all I will say.

Don't like it? Either start some anti-MLP movement and claim that this is the work of some foreign intelligence agency hoping to infantalize young men and women to subjugate the United States, or better yet, ignore it. The meme has disappeared. It's over. We have our little end of the Internet, you have your's.

I don't think you understand. I'm giving these people the opportunity to give me a good reason why they watch the show. To be fair to them it was unlikely to work. I don't want you dead or even gone - I don't care. I just want to make sure I'm right in teasing you when I see fit.cheese_game619

That fact that we like the show isn't enough? What more is there to say really?

No it's not. Because it's a little girls show and a bunch of grown men are watching it. If I start going to the local park and playing with Barbie dolls in the sand, I have some explaining to do. It's not illegal, it's not hurting anyone, but I'll be damned if it isn't creepy as f***.

Philosophy is a lot of things, and in the hands of someone with an education and a mind (like theone) it's very impressive. Frame_Dragger

I dunno, how do you exist, how do I exist? I know that I do exist, but how? I haven't a clue.

That's just society telling you what's socially acceptable and what's not :P

But I don't know what to say.....the show just makes me laugh and I just....enjoy it. And I don't know any other bronies irl or go to any meet ups of anything and think that I'm a badarse or whatever for doing so (not that they think that anyway). It's a show that I like watching in my own private time at home and.....that's all there really is to it.

But of course I'm by no means speaking for anyone else who watches the show.....this is just how it is with me.

It's hard to say exactly. Medical studies have shown that a lot of bronies lack sufficient dopamine or serotonin in their brains. The effect of the serotonin levels on behavior, however, is somewhat controversial. Some advocate using antidepressants such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to treat the brony addiction, but others advise just psychotherapy. Some evidence has shown that bronies often come from single parent families lacking a father. There are theories that the lack of a strong male presence in their lives may contribute to their pathological behavior, however, this again is conjecture at this point. More studies are needed to adequately and statistically show causative factors.

because apperently the show has "mass appeal" i've watched it a few times and to be fair, it isn't dreadfully bad, yet it's nothing that i'd wanna watch willingly.

I dont have a problem with bronies, butI feel likeall of these brony threads that pop up every two weeksare the same.

"what's up with them bronies huh?"

then there are the inevitable "oh they're furries, bandwaggoners, etc."

and then all the bronies come out to defend themselves etc. etc.

The content of these threads don't change. If anyone is going to make a thread about brony related anything, can it at least have a specific focus? or really anything different?

That's that's the truth. These threads in general are made to bash bronies and to start the same arguements up over and over again. No matter what people say about MLP the whole thing gets turned around and the same questions is reasked over and over and over. There is no point in these threads really other than to troll the crap out of each other.

Because it a good show that can be enjoyable for teens/adults?

It is a good show, nobody own you another explanation other than that, why do people watch it? because it's good and people enjoy it, period, is not a big science.

It's actually more like 15-35 year old.

I've tried to get into it cause my friends like it, but I find it impossible.
