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

I've watched the show. It was good but nothing that compelled me to want to watch it again & again or devote myself to a community of similar fans of the show. I want to call it weird, but the truth is at this point I'm the only economically comfortable white male between the ages of 14-59 that I know that isn't into this. I hate being a mediocre reactionary but something about this phenomenon is creepy and just plain not right. Get off my lawn.

Mordy, Saturday, 5 May 2012 00:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah, that's crazy. i don't know anyone who's into it, and i know a lot of economically comfortable guys in that age bracket.

was he wearing a fedora?

Mordy, Saturday, 5 May 2012 01:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

chubby dude in mlp t-shirt, cut-off sweats, and white boat shoes

i had the most depressing childish urge to shout "BRONY!" but i figure his life is hard enough

well, he made it hard by pretending to like my little pony cartoons.

Bronies for Ron Paul ‏ @Bronys4RonPaul
Welcome! This past weekend I learned there were zombie ponies called changelings & Ron Paul won MN/IA.

Ya jeez, I don't think I know anyone who's even seen this new show unless they were babysitting or something. My friends probably all remember the original My Little Pony from when they were kids, but AFAIK none of them have the amount of nostalgia attached to the show that would propel them to be fans of "Friendship is Magic."

Is it like, subtly subversive like the Powder-Puff Girls? I guess I'll have to watch an episode to see what the appeal is. Unless the appeal really is just "hey, these cartoon ponies make my dick twitch."

I've spotted a few needy-looking guys with "brony" shirts IRL. They all look like that.

And before anyone says something cute no that guy in the lower right is not me.

'twas the furthest from my mind ... really!

wonder how big the juggalo/brony crossover audience is

being a Juggalo is like being at an all-inclusive resort ... so not much methinks!

though i could be wrong.

just when you think alienated teenagers are finally over being into wacky stuff that concerns grown-ups, they go and get themselves into some new wacky stuff that concerns grown-ups

bronies are simply juggalos who are lovers, not fighters, and i support them and their ways
