we don't have an ongoing thread to clown fdb, so this goes here i guess

No, it's not. I enjoy things very deeply. They're adult things. They may not be what you enjoy, which is fine. But I enjoy them.

Like just imagine saying out loud: "I enjoy things very deeply. They're adult things."

What things do you describe as "adult things"?

i know a few bronies these days. one of them's the only person i've ever met, to my knowledge, to have an active restraining order against him.

@blowryontv
RNC's Sean Spicer just quoted Twilight Sparkle of "My Little Pony" in defending Melania Trump plagiarism charges. Did not see that coming.

you didn't?

saw a dude in a brony T-shirt walking out of a Festival Foods with a handgun on his belt

Have we discussed that female bronies are called "pegasisters"?

the article about the reddit revolt linked in that piece is also a good read

This idea of what counts as political and what doesn’t is another thing the fandom took from 4chan—where racial slurs are just jokes but anti-racism makes you a “social justice warrior.”

This is amazing.

Federal agents in Moscow have raided and ended a My Little Pony convention on the grounds that it constituted "gay propaganda." Even painting the animal's mane in the Russian tricolor couldn't save this one. https://t.co/KIv00sKoeN pic.twitter.com/p68hiFCmWm

just to be clear a lot of those "grown men" who were into MLP did in fact turn out to be women because, you know, There Were No Signs. i guess when russia is raiding MLP conventions for spreading "gay propaganda" that's pretty obvious but i do want to say it for the record.

i got a friend who writes genuinely actually good MLP fanfiction. people shit-talk fan-fiction but i respect people who do it well. it's really hard to capture the voice of a character when it's not your character. it's also a good way of getting your writing actually read - people want to read stories about characters they're already invested in. i've tried to write fanfiction occasionally but i'm never really satisfied with the results. (yes i do hold my writing to an unreasonably high standard.)
