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

That costume is amazing. I want to hire that guy to walk around with me while I did totally mundane shit, like go grocery shopping.

the flip flops

Could be mandals, definitely bonus points. The dude under there is probably naively pure, but would love to hire him for a year, feed him drugs and have him go berserk in costume and follow me around as I went about my day. Then I'd get bored and fire him and his fellow bronies would find him lying in the gutter, his costume torn and soiled. Then they'd take him in and try to rehabilitate him back to broniedom, but the man they knew would only ever exist again in their memories. One day his fellow bronies would return to a ransacked apartment, never to see him again.

An article on Monday about Jack Robison and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children’s TV show “My Little Pony” that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover.

I always dreamed of living in Equestria. Where I would actually be happy...

:{ now I feel bad writing that bizarre Huysmansesque blurb about bronies. I wonder what these people would be like in a different era, perhaps in tighter-knit societies ... family men by 25?

In Harry Potter they would be Huffle Puff or whatever they're called

yeah, but what would pottunias be in ponyville?

like a wise man said way upthread, there's always a guy w/ a fedora hat involved w/ this sort of thing:

These people (ESPECIALLY FEDORE GUYS) are *ruining* my childhood MLP love.

Fedoras make me so angry I can't even type straight..

this version of Fedora Guy dubs Kid Rock songs over My Little Pony, for his shits and giggles.

let's not overlook the fire

it's been always gurnin' since the world's been turnin'

bronies honour the fire

ANDREW W.K. CONFIRMS MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING APPEARANCE AT MY LITTLE PONY CONVENTION

ANDREW ANSWERS “WHAT WOULD PINKIE PIE DO?” AT CANTERLOT GARDENS 2012!

New York, NY - (June 12, 2012): Rock 'n' roll party man, Andrew W.K., has announced that this fall, he will bring his special brand of fun to Canterlot Gardens in Ohio, the premiere My Little Pony fan convention! Celebrating the national resurgence of My Little Pony popularity since the release of Hasbro’s “Friendship Is Magic” cartoon, W.K. will attempt to answer the question “What Would Pinkie Pie Do?” In this panel, W.K. who's beloved for such anthemic songs as “Party Hard” and “We Want Fun,” considers himself to be the living embodiment of the positive, party pony, Pinkie Pie, and will talk about how to make your work as fun as your party and your party as important as your work.

W.K. has spoken in the past of his support for the growing “Brony” sub-culture, which is the unexpected male obsession with My Little Pony and “Friendship Is Magic”. This fan-base if comprised of men in their teens, up to 40 years of age. Lauren Faust, who helped to draw adults to Cartoon Network with her work on The Power Puff Girls and Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends, also helped to revamp the My Little Pony franchise with sophisticated writing and nuanced characters. The results are drawing animation fans of nontraditional ages, genders, and lifestyles.

dude is like the PHD of trolls

and FUN

god damnit W.K. get back to work

everything about this cracks me up so hard

I can count at least two genders in that line up of Bronies above.; maybe they should put the injection moulded plastic down and investigate the possibilities offered by that.

how heteronormative of you

also dude LOL NERDS Y DONT THEY GO GET LAID INSTEAD is p tired even when it's about bronies

okay the juxtaposition of post/display name there is killing me

https://www.canterlotgardens.com/

pathetic nerds who DO get laid are so much worse than the ones who don't

They're usually the ones who won't stop talking about polyamory.

Yeah, I know some of those nerds. I know I'm probably a terrible person for not believing that their lifestyle is a real thing, but it pretty much seems to me like they just want an excuse to cheat on each other.

That might be making fun of a different subset of people than the ones we're making fun of in this thread, though.

i can assure you that they are interrelated

What some of these guys might need is some counseling from original Bronie Bro, Peggle mascot Bjorn:
