i have a student who is a "brony", he looks and acts like a cross between data and wesley crusher. he receives educational support for asperger's syndrome but he really doesn't need it, he seems less disabled on a social level and more disinterested ... anyway he spends all of his spare time in class - which is quite a bit, he's super bright - drawing male my little ponies and writing fan fic about them
the weirdest part about it is that he doesn't seem to catch any shit about it from other students

I haven't watched any of these, but Powerpuff Girls definitely had crossover appeal and in-jokes for adult audiences. There are also dudes who are really into animation stuff regardless so... this doesn't seem that odd considering the writer and context.
There has to be some sort of version of Rule 34 that also states that if there's an entertainment media, there is a group of men into it somewhere.

Most of those people look pretty normal to me, aside from wacky-hat guy. The only cue I could really take to suggest that they're all the risible nerdy virgins you think they are is the fact that they're at a brony meet-up.

probably the urge to define oneself via cultural consumption is the real issue here, and it is the main problem these bronies are suffering from. they need to know where they "fit in"; it's not enough to just be a person in the world. as far as those guys overlap with the fedora/PUA/MRA community, the pigeonholing thinking relates to the gross, darwinian language they use when describing status: alpha, beta, etc. if they just cut that shit out of their thinking, and considered their identity fundamentally in terms of themselves as individuals, they would be better off i think.

The more pertinent question would be what conditions creates "bronies" in the first place.
Society fails young men by indoctrinating them into a patriarchal thought process that defines masculinity by sexual prowess and social facility. With the increasing atomization of human interaction under late capitalism (and especially the niche consumer culture of the internet), more and more young males are failing to live up to these patriarchal ideals. But instead of this creating an opportunity for young men to redefine gender roles for themselves, it leads them to embrace reactionary impulses born from self-hatred and sexual frustration, which is projected outward as misogyny and homophobia.
The solution is to seize the internet and put it under the control of those who understand how to properly utilize it.
