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

Is it like, subtly subversive like the Powder-Puff Girls?

it's by the creator of Powerpuff Girls

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

There are many tribes in the Juggalo nation

lol new d/n for me...

latebloomer is legion

it's by the creator of Powerpuff Girls

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

I feel like some of these bronies will be lucky enough to grow up and become like the Smang It guy

we should all be so lucky to grow up to become like the Smang It guy.

I was evidently given some inaccurate information by a brony friend

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

lovers of sex crime

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 (!!!)

/b/ or just garden-variety aspergers?

that too!

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?

no

But why? Where are their vulvae? Their penises? How do they poop? How do they suckle? If these questions keep you up at night like they do me, join the Pony Plot Perfection Project.

I love it when people date each other because of looks.
Its really pathetic when people judge you based on looks or interests.
And then there is that guy like Brandon Cyrus who calls everyone beautiful, then only asks the cute ones to text him.
If you are one of those people who use women just for sex, money, or are dating them just because of popularity and looks, go fuck yourself. You are a pathetic excuse for a man/woman. And this world would be better off without you.
A good example of a relationship is me and Samantha.
She listens to shitty ass music to the point where I want to burn down a church.
But I love her no matter what.

Want to know why some men treat women like shit? It is because of those self centered girls who think they are the greatest person in the world because they are popular or pretty. You aren't, and you should go fuck yourself.
You are a fucking women, so act like you have a place in society. Sexism towards women is because of these types of girls. I myself am sexist towards women, but only those types of women. Women like Hillary Clinton or Oprah have each and every bit of my respect.
/end rant/

probably should have googleproofed that name, don't wanna embarrass anyone

Hilary Clinton that is

This doesn't seem brony related

its a rare glimpse inside the mind of a real life brony

Stepbrony update - he's currently hitting "like" on a bunch of pics of ridiculous anime girls w/ big boobs, apparently unaware that every time he does, his entire family can see it in their news feed. Last post was a screed about how much he hates teenagers (he's 18) that got 40+ comments, mostly talking school shooting fantasies and satanic imagery, somehow devolving into this

I say "moar" and don't put a period on purpose, and you come and correct me, that has happened a lot of times,why are you acting mad because I said you were afraid of heights? This is like the Rainbow Dash thing, you were one of my best friends, why act all butthurt over the smallest things?

damn that is like a zen koan.
