What if the specimens were...

Furries are just as bad, really. Look at furry surveys and you'll see that the majority of furries don't look at furry porn.

Which is of course, talking from inside experience, utter bull****.

I have yet to see a "furry" site that isn't under 75% porn or pervs. I've even heard of one when there are warning icons for pictures that AREN'T porn. Funny stuff.

...You watch a show about ponies, guys. It's really not that complicated.

Yes, but overanalyzing is fun.

TL;DR : bronies are people who watch mlp and brag about it, as simple as that

well, in all fairness, most bronies don't brag, they simply discuss in threads about bronyism (well, except for attention whores, but eh). I mean, this has been what, one thread, with no mention beyond it (as is proper)- why accuse anyone here of bragging?

anyways, as said above, I just like to look too far into things for fun.

I believe the accepted definition of "bronie" is any fan of the show outside of the target demographic.

Although bronies is generally used for male fans, it is also used to describe older female fans too. Pegasisters came later for those who weren't happy being linked to the word "Bro".

To give a personal opinion on a struck nerve:

Spoiler!

Although I fit this description, I don't really consider myself a "Bronie", because I usually associate that with people who just enjoy the irony of liking a show aimed at little girls, who see it as an oppurtunity to stand out from the crowd, and feel superior due to their open mindedness.

I on the other hand like the show for what it is. Even though I'm nearly 25, I've always liked cartoons, and to this day still enjoy the likes of Bucky O'Hare, X-Men, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Megas XLR, Tom & Jerry, Looney Toons, Disney Movies, etc, etc. I even found Ben 10 entertaining... until Alien Force came along... thats just crap. I won't watch any old twoddle, but I don't dismiss a show just because its a cartoon.

My Little Pony is an example of a show that is very well written, well characterised, with a good sense of humour. Alot of gags in it are remiscent of classic cartoons, and even older demographic sources like the Big Lebowski and Benny Hill.

I find it quite amusing when people say something really well thought out like, "People who watch this show are a disgrace". I stay in 99% of the time to play video games all evening. I don't enjoy going out all night and drinking myself stupid, or smoking 15 cigarettes a day because "I smoked at school to 'fit in' with the popular crowd". Most of the way through my young life I've had people exploit my naivity, take advantage of my generous nature, and had good friends who are really only looking out for number 1.

Given my extremely negative view of the world, this show has alot of positivity in it. For me, (and I know this sounds incredibly wanky), when I watch it, it genuinely makes me happy.

Why would the approval of the arseholes mentioned above be preferable to that? I didn't care about them when I enveloped myself in a budget wave based team survival horror FPS, and I don't care about them now.

Apologies for the mini rant. It's nice to just vent every now and again

You see ? Same characters as humans = 1000% more attractive. Why make a pony show ?

 

[akstylish]

Ponies are cute in their own way...to MLP fans anyway.

I'd like to see a ponyville map. Or character replacement mutator if that's possible.

 

[ChairmanMurder[Forge]]

If they made a Left 4 Dead mod like this, I'd totally play it.

There was already an established franchise that they wanted to reinvigorate, I guess.

And besides, talking animals are a cartoon staple.

Reinvigorate My little poney ? Eeeeeeuuuuuuuuugh

Imagine if they did the same with the carebears

Because ponies are 1000% more cute and adorable. Also, humans living in such peace and harmony would be totally unrealistic.

If the writing was as clever as My Little Pony, I wouldn't call it a bad thing.

Oh please look at that sentence again and tell us what's wrong with it.

Oh please look at that sentence again and tell us what's wrong with it.

The fact that its true?

awesome picture here

6-woman survival? Hellz yeah! This exact picture needs to be the next skin pack

 

[CandleJack]

G'day, what's going on in this-

Nevermind.

 

[Vintage]

Oh please look at that sentence again and tell us what's wrong with it.

I find nothing wrong with the sentence. Perhaps you could point out what is wrong with it.

 

[Splatpope]

The word "unrealistic"

Now I'm going to leave this thread, right, because it's very dangerous

op made me watch ponies, now i can't stop! HELP!
i always wondered why there is such a hype, the little specimens finally made me watch it.
srsly, mlp is a decent show, very cute with well defined characters. the animation is very good and some stories are pretty epic.
it may be a bit overhyped on the internet, but its not a bad show at all, even if one is not the target audience, its quite enjoyable.
