Meet 'bronies' -- grown men who are fans of My Little Pony

I finished listening to this but you should of asked the bronies if they actually like /b/ because /b/ has so much hardcore, racist and gorey shit and I just don't picture bronies enjoying that kind of stuff.

and if they do enjoy 4chan than I have an entirely new perspective on what a brony is.

i don't know what to tell you, captain lorax.

"hardcore, racist and gorey shit and I just don't picture bronies enjoying that kind of stuff."

common thread is responsibility-free infantilism?

not to be all cap'n save-a-4chan but its like half the internet at this point

you mean the half that's republican?

i dont even get that joke

maybe more libertarian-y? but i feel like the regressive nostalgia reads more republican.

I was enraged for some reason when I saw little pony toys sitting alone at some family run pizza shop I went to a little while ago and felt much better when a little girl ran up to collect the toys she forgot

I mean it didn't have to be a girl but it made me feel like the world was still a world when a little kid ran up excitedly to collect toys is all I'm saying

what a world.

it were ponies all around 'ere

not to be all cap'n save-a-4chan but its like half the internet at this point

I don't think you understand. /b/ revels in its racism, gore, pictures of mutilated kittens and penises etc. It's not like half the internet. It's clearly leaning towards ultra-sicko territory and not just a halfway house for bi-curious-sickos. Sure the internet is awful, but admitting to being a /b/tard is admitting that your closest home on the web is one of the darkest abscesses of filth and likewise your mentality has got to be pretty stuffed up with shit as well.

I can imagine bronies as people that appreciate anonymous for supposedly starting or at the very least encouraging /b/rony love. But then it goes either one of two ways. 1) Bronies feel like home in a place where people try to outscum eachother or 2) they don't know /b/ or only know it in passing. Frankly I would like to know whether bronies are genuine /b/tards or not. Maybe some of these brony kids are secret sickos - well much more sick than your average joe.

like that quiet kid in class that acts sort of normal but is secretly dreaming of a million different ways to murder his classmates because those thoughts are soothing to his sicko side

You sound...curiously knowledgeable about all this.

i hear bronies accept the government's version of 9/11 events!

"I was enraged for some reason when I saw little pony toys sitting alone at some family run pizza shop I went to a little while ago and felt much better when a little girl ran up to collect the toys she forgot"

don't all the toy story movies operate on this emotional dynamic?

Lorax you're allright in my book.

fwiw, my brony cousin strongly dislikes Family Guy so I don't think he would be into /b/

Maybe he just has (different) taste

has this beautiful objets d'art been posted yet?

lol @ Lorax itt

The Lorax doth protest too much, methinks.

"my brony cousin"

(9:49:54 AM) Whiney: I DONT CARE ABOUT FUCKING BRONIES

Way to reject his fanbase.

hahahaha

wtf @ that webcomic

isn't it great??? i love it so much.

You wanted to share something you love. Nothing wrong with that, Simon. Every group has jerks. It's just how it goes. You're a good guy, Simon. Sure, there are dickhole Bronies in the online community but I know better than to judge the whole by a few jerks.

No one has ever said these words outside the diseased vibrations of a fantasizing bronie's mind while he imagines what woman could ever love him.

gave me a new display name anyway

How dare you impugn the writing talents of choochoob✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧? xp

choochoobear at gmail.com

I'm just going to assume, despite context, that that email address is "choochooboobs"

xp: aw

lol

"choochoobear" or "choochooboobs" are both pretty o_0 as far as email addresses/nicknames go, esp. for men (even bronies).

wtf. there is def some thrill at defying expectations at work with this whole bronie thing

Revelatory.

ok, so that's not real. i feel silly.

well, Mordy, there's objective truth and artistic trugh

*truth

What is it with these guys and hats?

The crossbow is definitely listed in the "customers who bought..." - i guess the rest were too, at some point, but the stuff actually aimed at children has been edited out.

Any time I hear "fedora" I think of ask.metafilter's famous "fedora guy":

bronies are a natural market for Takashi Miike films, though.

i don't see the crossbow or any of them on my amazon page

the new guy at my work wears a fedora at all times, including indoors

the day he started there was a ripple of bitching around the lunch room along the lines of "I could tell he'd be annoying from the moment I saw his hat"

I am now thinking 1. perhaps he is a brony and 2. I'd better not mention it what with the whole crossbow thing

Could be a PUA who thinks he's peacocking

Could be a rude boy. Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!
