I Googled patriotpony1986's OKCupid profile and the rest of it, and it just gets sadder and sadder and sadder.

It's also probably a hoax: the pic's connected to a Norwegian dude on a MLP site.

yea i didn't think it could be real

lol i just came here with that

Here's more of the profile:

My self-summary
I am a proud conservative American and brony (male My Little Pony fan). I work very hard to enmesh the philosophy of Ayn Rand within the framework of tolerance and love espoused by Pink Pie and friends. I'm something of an intellectual, and would love to discuss politics or cartoons with somepony near me in the future. Please understand that if we were to meet, I AM THE MAN in the relationship.

What I’m doing with my life
Trying to finish the first draft of my e-book entitled Serfdom in Equestria, an expose on the liberal agenda slowly eroding freedom in the My Little Pony universe.

I’m really good at
Fashion

The first things people usually notice about me
My swag.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
My Little Pony, The Fountainhead, The Bible

I spend a lot of time thinking about
The war on men's rights currently taking place in the United States.

On a typical Friday night I am
Arguing with imbeciles on the Internet.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I have a rare penile deformity. Ask me about it! If only Dr. Paul would start seeing male patients...

I’m looking for

--Girls who like guys
--Ages 20–31
--Near me
--For new friends

You should message me if
You don't mind supporting a high functioning autistic who has been on social security disability for seven years.

Ah, I just saw that screencap on tumblr. The full profile makes the fakeness clear.

I did see a kid who looked very similar to him (wearing a fedora and a my little pony t-shirt) when I was out last weekend -- I know we have joked about the fedoras but I didn't really expect a brony to be that stereotypical-looking.

did you see the group shot at the top of the thread

I was near a anime/comic convention last weekend and saw not one, but two young men wearing brony shirts, and I can safely say that 2/2 were exactly as you imagine (#1: fedora, #2: very long hair & short beard)

did you see the group shot at the top of the thread

Sure, but not every one had a fedora! Maybe that's how they are able to identify each other in public? ¯\(°_o)/¯

every last one of these people has a fedora

every

single

one

society judges belittles them for their tastes, so it's how they show their class, sophistication and rejection of modern values outwardly

the worst thing that "nerd culture" ever did to itself was to fetishize poor socialization.

nerd = poor socialization

culture = what we call a pile of fetishes

stop smokin so much w33d man, help you think clearer

i mean to say what is nerd culture other than fetishizing poor socialization

it's a good point, but I think there's a way for the whole nerdy fandom popcultural milieu to exist w/o letting its adolescents grow up into adults who are still proud of how bad they are at getting along w/ people

fetishizing other stuff to soothe the pain of poor socialization

^ this is the pure shit, first principles. actually fetishizing poor socialization and "nerd culture" itself comes later, when late capitalism fucks its own third eye.
