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.

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.

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.

Juggalony

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

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

i think the obvious and natural crossover habitat for bronies is the land of furries, not juggalos -- but as i said, who knows?

There's no direct Craig McCracken work - it's his wife Lauren Faust who was producer and showrunner for the first series.

when i was conducting my interviews, one of the main things that came up w/ these dudes is that they legit feel like they've never come across a show before that deals with friendship and how to be a friend so effectively (!!!)

what if a 16 year old dude really wants to like, dye his hair light blue and cut it into a mohawk and wear a dog collar to school. if friendship ponies is what it takes to help this guy learn to just be his self then i'm okay with friendship ponies.

Speaking as a 16 year old Canadian male, I can safely say that The Powerpuff Girls was awesome ... just look past the sugary-sweet femininity and you'll find an incredibly sharp sense of humour.

had a six-year-old niece and her family over this morning, so we watched a bunch of MLP. it's pretty good! excellent character and background designs (reminiscent of powerpuff girls & g tartakovsky), ambitious & artful visuals, constant jokes & slapstick and at least one song in most episodes. scripts are smart without being showy about it, deliberately light and silly, but they they take the fantasy/adventure trappings quite seriously. it's not subversive like the powerpuff girls or aggressively hip like adventure time, but it's a good deal more emotionally resonant than either. interesting mix of pretty-fetish girl stuff and messages of collective empowerment and self-respect. one of the most appealing things about "ponyville" is that it's a place where everyone is celebrated for their differences and no one is excluded. i can definitely see why it's been a hit outside its apparent target demographic.

Yeah, I find it really frustrating that I have to defend my enjoyment of this rather cute show because of some obsessive fans ruining it for everybody. Like, it's one thing to enjoy watching something, it's quite another to define yourself by that activity (see: Star Trek, Dr. Who, Star Wars, insert anime title here). That said, bronies are comparable to furries – people who are emotionally, physically, or geographically isolated/abnormal who want to find an accepting community that they can belong to. Mostly harmless.

What will the funds be used for? The short answer is quality.
Executive producers are Michael Brockhoff and John de Lancie (the voice of Discord on MLP)
Q, what are you thinking?
