BRONIES!!!

[Hunybear]

Idk... i dont get it... i watched the show with my little cusin.. shes eight and she gets it. feeling on bronies or maybe explain or something. it just made me uncomfortable more than anything to think duders my age and older are into this stuff.

 

[Kurri ★]

I'm not into MLP myself, but it's simple, they enjoy it. There really isn't much else to get.

I mean, look at you, you play Smash Bros. Why not play Mortal Kombat, a mature fighting game with lots of blood and gore (and a dedicated block button whatthe****isthis****!!!!)

 

[LucarioDude]

I only recently started watching MLP and always what was the fuss about but not I see why lots of 'bronies' like it. For one, the artstyle in my opinion is quite appealing. The characters, or in this case ponies, make the show with each pony having their own different personality trait. There's also some really cool references here and there.

I understand that you feel uncomfortable with males your age liking MLP but it's best to be open-minded about these things. It's the same as how most people see Pokémon as something just for children but I know a ton of people my age who are 18+ that are still huge fans of Pokémon, me included. Just like @ Kurri ★ said, bronies enjoy MLP and that's all there is to it.

 

[JayTheUnseen]

Watch this. It was made by part of the show staff( and others ) to explain why bronies exist and who they are.

 

[Pachinkosam]

When I try watching MLP makes me wanna watch Foster imaginary friends so I watch that instead.

It's a show made for little girls. It's about as respectable as a grown man playing with barbie dolls.

Totally. It's absolutely deplorable.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a tea party with my anime figures.

Boy you are edgy...

[mythbust4000]

I don't care about bronies ....well now
When I was big on tf2(team fortress 2) I HATED them the only servers I could find were ether skyrimXmlp or filled with poney sprays(in game you can spray pictures on walls floors etc)and it did not make me quit forever but after the 200th server I quit for the whole day and watched ether tf2 videos or top 10s and it was this that I found out a smash 4 was in development this was after mega man was announced and got back into the game because I liked brawl(ewww filthy casual)and I tryed other games like melee and smash 64 until smash4 was released (then went back to melee,pm and smash 64) so tf2 became my "I'm board let's play a game I use to play" game
So I guess I should be thankful for bronies and all of their pride

 

[Hunybear]

They like it but... Why. Like how

 

[Frisk.]

I personally don't think the show is anything special. I've tried watching it and just don't understand what's so great. I have no problems with the people who do like the show, it's just not for my tastes.

 

[Kurri ★]

They like it but... Why. Like how

What do you mean how? They find it to be enjoyable and funny. I'm sure if you asked a fan, they'd give you a more thought out answer, but the basic answer is, they find it to be worth their time. The real question is, why does it bother you? Are people your age not allowed to watch MLP?

 

[Teran]

Isn't MLP irrelevant now?

 

[Kurri ★]

Isn't MLP irrelevant now?

I'm pretty sure it's still going on, and if not, the fact that the fanbase is still going strong I feel is a good indicator of it's relevancy.

no they can like MLP all they want.. Really I don't care about them I just want to know why.. The animation is asteticly appealing but nothing special. (Or close to impressive) the story.. Kills me with stupid.. Am I the only one who think all the ponys have striper names. The characters are a deep as a kiddie pool.. And the subject matter dosnt targets the demographic of people who need to shave.. im not hating I'm confused

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

I mistaken this thread to be named "Brownies"...... but getting to the point, I don't get bronies. Why do they watch MLP in the first place? I don't know. Why don't they get a better future in life? They'd watch MLP. (no offense. but I'm not talking about bronies who partially watch it and do what they need to do.)

EXACTLY

 

[Kurri ★]

So in other words, you do care. If you didn't you wouldn't have started a thread about it. Not to mention, you say you don't care, but then you say this:

It's obviously bothering you that people your age and older are able to enjoy this show; and yes, you are hating. Look, I don't watch My Little Pony, so I can't go into depth on why someone may enjoy it. But the fact of the matter is, they like it. Why can't you just grow up and accept that people like what you don't?

"I don't get Smashers. Why do they play Smash in the first place? I don't know. Why don't they get a better future in life?"

I'm sorry, but does that look dumb to anyone else? How is watching My Little Pony, and getting a better future even remotely related? How can you say this and still play a game about trophies that fight each other?

I was in the fandom from until sometime around the gap between seasons 2 and 3.
S1 and S2 were genuinely funny (albeit with some annoying parts – I always mute the songs), but S3 was crap, and the fandom got too obnoxious for even me to stand around that time.

That said, some of my best memories are in the early fandom, and I've made friends there who've helped me through some extremely tough times.

Kids' shows really should do their best to appeal to parents as well because kids will force their parents and older siblings to watch their shows as a captive audience. That's just how little kids are. They don't understand the concept of other people not liking what they like. And, for a while, MLP was a genuinely entertaining cartoon that the forced older audience didn't have to suffer through.

Pass me the salt please.

In general when talking about an audience of a product that's generally frowned upon by many who don't understand the subject the best way to look at is this:
Who really cares?
Yeah it's a show that's tailored to a young demographic
But the point of a cartoon is entertainment and enjoyment
Same goes video, games, music, art, sports ect.
I'm not a brony at all but since the pass-time I love the most (gaming) is often criticized for very similar reasons, I kinda understand the appeal.
ESPECIALLY when talking about animation.
In general the a majority of the bronies I've come across and talk to focus on a few points about the show.
It's cute. It's decently written. And the characters are likable.
Those reasons alone are enough to justify liking the show but bring current animation and television into the mix and you'll get an even BETTER idea about it.
Think of adult/teen media. How much of it is animation that tries not to be something like Family Guy or Southpark, not counting anime.
Not much. For awhile now everything has really been so grossly generalized that TV and animation in general are heavily saturated with "adult satire" and "drama"
so much in fact that many (like myself) have signed off of using TV at all and stick to the web.
I think it's kinda clear how something like MLP that doesn't take it's self too seriously and does it's own thing is refreshing.
And if you're going to bring the fact that it's for girls into the mix your point is completely invalid.
That's like saying men shouldn't use soap that's beneficial to their skin just because it's labeled for women.
It's dumb. Gender stereotyping is dumb.

So instead of having a discussion you resort to overused memes?

You got my opinion changed there, and I say that since my friends say its a way to end a conversation for them (works for them.) I realized that I was wrong until 30 min. later after my post.

 

[SandwichPride]

If you watch the show, whatever. As long as you don't obsess over it. And PLEASE DONT PONIFY EVERYTHING! It's really cringey.

I like Kill La Kill. Is it a good show? Yes. But I don't obsess, have body pillows, and make fan art of everyone in a senketsu suit.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

It's a show made for little girls. It's about as respectable as a grown man playing with barbie dolls.

I don't see the problem with either of those.

Oh, wait, so you weren't calling me salty? Okay.

Yeah, but others do and they do it because they enjoy it. It's a way to express they're love and appreciation of the series. Are you trying to say you're better than someone because you don't have a body pillow? Who cares. It's just a body pillow. I wouldn't buy one, but someone else would, more power to them.

 

[SandwichPride]

I honestly think its pretty ****ing cringey to have one.

 

[Kurri ★]

I honestly think its pretty ****ing cringey to have one.

Your point?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I honestly think its pretty ****ing cringey to have one.

If it's cringey to you, then fine!

But for others, it's not.

If you can't accept that, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave this thread.

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

Oh, wait, so you weren't calling me salty? Okay.

To me, I can't stand people calling eachother salty. I try to avoid that


And man, MLP fans overloading already :/

 

[Zatchiel]

Isn't MLP irrelevant now?

Yes.

 

[Kurri ★]

Yes.

Considering there's a discussion about it, and there are people defending it, no.

 

[Chinaux]

I burn Barbie dolls.

Does that count as playing with them?

No but that won't help with your autism.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

No but that won't help with your autism.

And your reply won't spare me from adding you to my ignore list.

Goodbye, sir.

 

[Kurri ★]

No but that won't help with your autism.

I don't think I've ever read a post by you that wasn't pathetic.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I can't understand why he's still able to post.

Sorry for having a opinion.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Sorry for having a opinion.

It's not that.

It's just that everyone is different. Things you may think of as cringey can be something else for other people.

You have the right to have your own opinion.

 

[Zatchiel]

Considering there's a discussion about it, and there are people defending it, no.

Obviously it's relevant to a thread about it. But in general it has become pretty goddamn irrelevant.

The only people outside of the fandom that care at all are either overdue "I don't get the appeal" peeps or tenacious "anti-brony" helmet-sporters.

No but that won't help with your autism.

Not nice!

 

[SandwichPride]

It's not that.

Okay. Damn I shouldn't open my mouth or someone would get offended.
