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

that is about the most non starter url i've ever seen

there's this subgenre on tumblr of lonely virgins in need of therapy documenting, well, their big cock. (which is kind of sad and hilarious at the same time)

Brony is magic - from anothe rworld maybe - maybe universe 18 - they have love therer

that's also not safe for your mind David

6/10 Plenty of cock, not so much MLP

brony genetic theory

Hope the DNA tester takes his money and tells him what he wants to hear

:/

new cross marketing idea: assassin's creed 5, you get in the animus and delve into your genetic memories and it's a dope my little pony open world game.

too late realization of custos joke sry

Pony DNA person is making me sad.

not real probs

That reads to me like a kid doing imaginative worldbuilding/roleplaying for themselves, rather than someone who genuinely believes they're a pony. But I might be wrong.

nah, totally thinks he's got horseblood

One of the weird things about that tumblr page (apart from everything) is how cold and formally he writes. That seems to be common among bronies.

he'll discover the otherkin community and live happily ever after

* sits back, opens bag of wotsits, waits for the mighty ilx brony war of 2014 to break out*

lol

maybe i'm projecting my own thoughts onto this thread but i feel like there is 900% more "bronies are entitled assholes" than "bronies are weird" itt

is that picture eisbear posted even a brony thing? it just looks like every picture taken at every anime convention for 20 years

On a whim I followed a Twitter account that reposts stuff from the MLP subreddit, which appears to be a bunch of dudes who are sexually attracted to cartoon ponies. It's hilarious and horrifying.

Oh I'm sorry, it's not Reddit, it's 4chan. Here's an example: https://twitter.com/mlp_txt/status/430795010074611712

i mean, pp, that's a child

i watched that bronies documentary thinking it was going to be about something depraved and its just about nerdy kids into a really well written, well animated cartoon that is traditionally for girls, and their shitty dads who make them feel like shit about it

^

What's the documentary called?

i think its just called 'bronies'! its on netflix, and very boring tbh because there is nothing notable about these kids unless youre aghast that a boy would be into a 'girl thing'

i quite enjoyed the andrew wk appearance at a brony convention, he def 'got it'

i haven't seen the doc but it's probably reasonable to draw a line between the goofy kids who like the show and the creepy ones who've sexualized it?

I dunno, in general I agree with roxy but I think the two groups do overlap at times.

right...i mean ppl should like whatever but i have seen enough brony shit that is....not ok....that i can't really sign off on the whole thing

why do people thunk this is any more weird than dudes being into any other cartoon/cosplay?

those grown men are weird too

that shit is unbearably embarrassing but seems prudish to say this indulgent youthful nonsense becomes reprehensible/creepy just when it gets sexualized, idk if ppl are making the case that my little pony is a gateway to a lifetime of bestiality but what i've seen seems the same as ppl i know who had crushes on cheetara/robbie from dinosaurs/raphael from tmnt, just concentrated & public bc of the internet. idk if there are some extreme cases out there or w/e but calling 13yos creeps seems unkind & ppl tend not to say that about girls who write slash fic about harry potter/werewolves or w/e

Lots of people say that about female slashfic writers. I get what you're saying about it being a lot more public because of the internet, but I remember being 13 pretty well. If you pretended Cheetara was actually your girlfriend you were pretty creepy.

having had to deal with Bronies on occasion (I decided to organize a MLP CCG tournament at one of my shops, etc.), they're pretty much all nice and polite, no more awkward than the D&D or Magic nerds. Maybe they all secretly go home and jerk off to Derpy but they just seem like kids who needed something to unite around and picked MLP.
Besides, teenage boys will jerk off to anything and MLP porn is probably less creepy than half the stuff on porntube sites.

if i'm prudish for preferring that cartoon ponies not be sexualized then thats my cross to bear i guess

lol CAD

fair point!

feel like i should have a big reveal where i tell the tale of my journey from wide-eyed gummi bears fan to degenerate haribo fetishist
