Did DeeJ just make a "I am 12 and what is this?"?

You're either first or you're last.

You'll never amount to anything, go back under your bridge.

I like the one with the pony.
Dude, the Alligator is the best character in the show.

In the eyes of man, I have a name. In the eyes of the world, I simply am.

Is this the attack everyone is talking about?

An employee making an MLP thread, I never thought I would see the day. Anyhow, they legitimately like it. If you downloaded things like coup, you would see that over half the people here like it. You can blame this thread for bringing the brony craze here.

Is this an ironic thing? Like when you pretend to like something for the sake of comedy?


Positively speaking, yes. They want to be different, so they do so... sometimes in more childish ways than others, sometimes not.

I support PORYGON.

Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know what these "bronies" see in MLP, but it's whatever. If it makes them happy, let them reference it.

  • 03.16.2012 1:53 PM PDT

A lot of the people who I have talked to that refer to themselves as "bronies" actually like the show. I don't really care for it, though.

I am honestly wondering the same thing. Have been for years. Time to fess up!

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I gotta admit, the animation is very nice.

Apart from that, I can see the appeal, but it isn't for me.

For some yes, at least in the early stages of the fandom. But there are those who genuinely enjoy the show, for it's characters, animation and so forth. It's certainly a lot better than most cartoons these days.

agreed

I got a couple of regrettable tattoos but, you can't see 'em when I wear a black suit.
Click here for a good photo to laugh at

It's horrible, early stages people think they are liking it for fun or for a joke, then they grow...attached... I will never be friends of any sort with a brony as long as I live.

A bunch of sad people that watch a children's show.

Best to avoid them, in my opinion.
This. You should ban every single one of them.

A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.
-George S. Patton

There is a large fanbase for a show called 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. They have dubbed themselves "Bronies", and have a policy of "Love and Tolerance" (Though, I find it rare to find one that can uphold decent conversation on the subject.)

The show itself is nothing too incredible, it's a modern day Spongebob Squarepants in a way.
The viewers are mainly drawn to the fanbase. My guess is that the sense of belonging that the "Bronies" provide gives people a sense of purpose, and being part of something bigger.

In short, I'm not too keen on the fanbase. But the show is decent as far as cartoons are concerned.
I really must suggest that you don't look too much into the fanbase, lest they turn you into a self-righteous, intolerant, prick.
