I am seriously considering sewing plush my little ponies because the bronies are willing to fork over mad cash for them.

Just imagine how disgusting the inside of that hat must be after wearing it around all day at these awesome brony events.

"chewing on a pen" is the only one i'd guess has ever had some stank on his hang-low.

Some serious underestimating at what goes on at these kind of conferences. I guarantee a scary amount of those guys have gotten some play with their fellow enthusiasts.

I think you mean "sex-related stank on his hang-low" because I may be prejudging but, based on this picture, I am pretty sure a good number of the people in that picture are familiar with stank all kinds of places on their bodies

IIRC pictures of what I was doing have been posted to ILE, which mostly involved stalking the halls dressed as an extra from Degrassi High and doing the cabbage patch in my friends' kitchens

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.

fedora looks like he wandered into the wrong room and was too polite to leave before they took the picture; I imagine 30 seconds afterward he was all "so just to clarify, the Mad Men meetup is on the right"

is this just what furries do now? do furries still exist? is there some venn diagram overlap here? I still don't 'get' this.
― iatee, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, they all seem like they'll be ok in the long run. Fedora will grow out of his suit, even. Not sure why their sex lives have anything to do with it.

I owned a fedora as a teenager. yikes! never got the courage to wear it out though
I don't see a whole lot of difference between nerdy fanboys who like this cartoon and nerdy fanppl who like all manner of things and attend conventions about them. Right down to their penchant for silly hats.
xp I totally have a fedora pic of me from jr high.

I desperately wanted a porkpie hat in the days of third-wave ska. Thankfully e-commerce was a little less developed and I sure as fuck wasn't going to find one locally.

guys, I owned a fedora, a bicycle cap with the name of my German camp on it, a Dr Seuss raver hat and a green baseball cap with a cartoon mascot from a Japanese baseball team on it by the time I was TWENTY; I think I have put in my time in the bad hat trenches and am allowed to chuckle at those that came after me

idg reversible skull cap - does it reverse into a normal looking baseball cap or something

This idea of what counts as political and what doesn’t is another thing the fandom took from 4chan—where racial slurs are just jokes but anti-racism makes you a “social justice warrior.”

Federal agents in Moscow have raided and ended a My Little Pony convention on the grounds that it constituted "gay propaganda." Even painting the animal's mane in the Russian tricolor couldn't save this one. https://t.co/KIv00sKoeN pic.twitter.com/p68hiFCmWm— Kevin Rothrock (@KevinRothrock) February 17, 2024

just to be clear a lot of those "grown men" who were into MLP did in fact turn out to be women because, you know, There Were No Signs. i guess when russia is raiding MLP conventions for spreading "gay propaganda" that's pretty obvious but i do want to say it for the record.
i got a friend who writes genuinely actually good MLP fanfiction. people shit-talk fan-fiction but i respect people who do it well. it's really hard to capture the voice of a character when it's not your character. it's also a good way of getting your writing actually read - people want to read stories about characters they're already invested in. i've tried to write fanfiction occasionally but i'm never really satisfied with the results. (yes i do hold my writing to an unreasonably high standard.)
