'Sup bronies?

Now, as many of you have noticed, lots of pony threads on OT before have failed thanks to a variety of reasons.

I'd like for this thread to not have the same fate. The topic of this thread is general MLP discussion. Anything about MLP is on topic. However, in order to ensure that this thread does not end up locked like the other ones, I'd like to make a few requests.

1) No pic spam. One pony reaction image or so is fine, but don't just spam dozens of pony pictures. THis thread is about discussing MLP, not throwing pictures at each other.

2) To those of you who either dislike the MLP:FiM show and its fandom, or are simply indifferent, please be respectful. If you find the pony fandom annoying, then no one is forcing you to visit a thread you KNOW will be filled with ponies. If you dislike the show, please at least be respectful to us. If you want to criticize, criticize. We bronies realize that not everyone will love MLP, and while we will encourage you to watch a show we love, we will respect our different opinions. However, do expect us to defend the show if we feel you're making an unfair criticism.

3) No trolling, please. We bronies will stay in our thread, and leave those of you who dislike the show alone. Please pay us the same courtesy. Bronies? If we are trolled, remember this: Bronies do it with love and tolerance.

So, as to the bronies who will be contributing to this thread, here's the starting question.
Who's your favourite pony?

Me? Well, my avatar shoud make it obvious.

Spoiler:
It's Fluttershy.

While I respect that you don't like the ponies, I must ask that you not troll this thread please.

Thank you.

P.S.

I'd also like to ask why you don't like the ponies.

I don't find that to be the case.

My two elementary/pre-school age daughters crave the show and I find it to, well, be the type of show that is aimed at that demographic.

I may still be bitter that Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends ended.

Fluttershy's my favourite as well. I admit, I'm partial to Pinky Pie, but she doesn't interest or endear me to her as much as a character. Could care less about Twilight, Rainbow Dash (was Rainbow a girl? I always assumed he/she was male for some reason), and the other one.
Second question; opinions on Nightmare moon? Was she justified in her actions at the beginning of series 1? I'm tempted to believe she was, though as is often the case she went about expressing her feelings in the wrong way.

I didn't get it until I realized this is basically the Sponge Bob of the moment. When Sponge Bob came out it was a kids show that young adults grasped on to for some reason, and this is no different really. I think the point of the love is that it defies all expectations, not of the show, but of who the viewer is.

Or it could be a bunch of people becoming adults and scared to death of maturity so they are grasping at immature things to hold on to their youth.

Their are others theories but they are less kind.

Can a grown man not enjoy a show because it's cute and sweet? And because it has actually developed and enjoyable characters? I enjoy it because I love the characters, that's it. Any show that can make me care about the characters in it, and care about what becomes of them is somethng that is worth watching. Dreadnote, see this for why--and so many others--enjoy this show.

Besides, what does this have to do with any future children I have?

Ahtman wrote:Or it could be a bunch of people becoming adults and scared to death of maturity so they are grasping at immature things to hold on to their youth.


Insert C.S. Lewis quote here. You know which one I mean.

I'm 19 years old. I consider myself relatively mature. Just because I can relax enough to enjoy something more childish and fanciful than what would be expected of me does not mean that I am 'scared' of maturity.

Maybe your Spongebob theory is accurate. maybe it's not. I don't agree with it, but you're welcome to your opinion.

You go on and on about a show aimed at 4 year old little girls; you may want to reevaluate. This is not meant as insult, just as advice. You aren't noting it is a well crafted show, you are latched onto it with the zealousness of a convert.

As for why another forum may be inappropriate, it is for the same reason many subjects here aren't approached. It goes over better on sites like 4chan, but they also have threads from grown men obsessing over 8 year old actresses on the Disney Channel. Essentially it is to niche for a broad body like this.

I explained in the same response why I like the show. For me, namely, it's the characters. To me, they seem well developed characters and I honestly care about what happens to them. I've grown to love the characters--and in a slice of life show, that's what makes or breaks it.

Just because I'm starting a thread about a show I like doesn't mean 'I'm latched on with the zealousness of a convert', it just means I'm trying to find other fans of the show on online communities where I already frequent. It's no different than people starting threads asking who likes a particular band or book series. People just tend to think negatively of bronies.

Which would be true if this were come kind of inappropriate topic. It's not inapropriate, as you've said it's a show directed at 8 year olds. It's not like I'm doing anything legally questionable or offensive. It may be a niche show, but what's wrong with seeking out other members of the same niche if I so choose? I see nothing wrong with it, and I never remember any dakka policy that said fans of more niche game/show/books couldn't make threads expressing their fandom.

Of course, if this is a new policy, the mods can lock this thread. I doubt it though.

I would think pattern recognition would kick in at some point and at the very least you would realize that perhaps the advice that this might not be the place to have the kind of discussion about the show is that you consistently have to defend it or end up talking about something other than the show. It is of so little interest to so many, or just flat out bizarre, that you will not find what you are looking for here. This isn't saying you are a terrible person, but you are atrying to find a muffler for a Pinto at a video game store and suprised and outraged that they don't carry mufflers. This isn't the only subject either.

The fact you consistently bring it up just to get the same threads makes me think one of two things are happening:

1. You know this is essentially a troll subject and you are baiting people, which in that case this isn't appropriate. Troll elsewhere.

2. Your level of cognitive dissonance due to your love of the show is as such that you don't realize that it comes across as creepy, or worse.

If you were really trying to find other fans of the show you wouldn't constantly ask on a board that doesn't understand your love of 4 year old girls toys, you would go to fan boards. I can understand posting once to ask, but this isn't the first time you have started a thread about this and you get the same response just about every time.

Or
3. You simply haven't twigged that there aren't many people interested in the niche subject and keep making threads to try and gain attention to look for like minded people, I did the same thing with guildwars 2 until I just gave up and stuck to the forums for that subject while keeping part of my posting template informing people I am a fan of it so that any fans that see my posts will know I am a fan and may message me on it like slarg did.

The fact that we have had SOME posters showing their support of this subjecgt tells me that while it is NOT the most popular subject on dakka, there is a small group who do enjoy the show. I'm not looking to convert fans to the show, but I am looking for existing fans. Is this so wrong?

2. Your level of cognitive dissonance due to your love of the show is as such that you don't realize that it comes across as creepy, or worse.


The other threads that have started up have been shut down due to pic spamming--as I mentioned in the OP. As such, I have started this thread trying to create a thread for any bronies on Dakka to use, without hijacking other threads. I'm not trolling. I'm trying to get the pony fans out of other threads so we don't screw up other threads.

I honestly don't understand why people view this as 'creepy'. It's an innocent love of a show--just like the fans of things like Robot Unicorn Attack, and other kids things. If you view it as creepy or worse then =shrugs=. I think it's telling that someone can immediately decide that someone who's a fan of something that's out of their age group is a creep.

If you were really trying to find other fans of the show you wouldn't constantly ask on a board that doesn't understand your love of 4 year old girls toys, you would go to fan boards. I can understand posting once to ask, but this isn't the first time you have started a thread about this and you get the same response just about every time.


I've only made two threads meant for pony discussion. One, was meant for discussion of the end of season 1, and petered out. This one was meant for a general discussion. There have been others who have posted threads--that got locked down due to pic spam--so I am restaring a thread about MLP: FIM for the purposes of discussion.

Maybe you're right, but I'm not looking for a place to go with people who are all ike me. I'm not looking for other bronies, I'm looking for bronies on dakka dakka. Once again, if this is something against dakka rules, let a mod post and close the thread telling me so.

There are enough fans here that it seems to be safe, yes we get a tide of people who don't like the show, but so what? I don't expect everyone to love the show, I just expect the others of a forum like dakka to be respectful of the differences in opinion, and not decide that we're all pedophiles or whatever the latest stereotype is.

I felt like I adressed your point in my response to Ahtman. There ARE a few bronies here on dakka, and this is not like the 15th time I've posted a thread. At best it's the 2nd, and the first time in months.

I don't think like that's 'excessive posting'.

So you've never actually watched the show then?

I've responded to each of Ahtman's points. I've considered it, and I still do not think that watching and loving this show makes one 'immature', and it most definitely does not make one a danger to children as someone else in the thread suggested. If there's a point you feel I have failed to adress, please tell me and I'd be happy to talk about it.

Besides, what's so wrong with furries other than they're different from you? I've met furries that are great people, they just have different tastes than the average population. For some strange reason, the internet has just decided that furries are the devil.

Aye Klimino, in general I find the cocerns for the sanity of the OP and outright dislike hate of the show, to be honestly more odd in here myself.
It really honestly bothers people that much they need to rag onto someone about it?

As to the show, although I haven't seen it I have seen some mentions of the style of stories and jokes, and much like Spongebob I can see how adults would enjoy it. Spongebob has plenty of references to stuff that will fly over the average 'recommended' viewers head, but to an adult who knows what they are on about, will find quite amusing.

I used to think Spongebob was utter tosh, till I watched a few episodes due to my eldest Sons interest, and realised why folks where finding it funny. I never became a fan, but I can see why people do.

I am sure this show is much the same.

I don't think it's a troll subject. A troll subject is something MEANT to cause offense and outrage, not an attempt to seek out similar fans of a show.

And I'll second Kilmino. Episode 1 was good enough to get me interested, episode 2 was meh. Episodes after that made me love it.

Ahtman, I was like you once, denoucing the entire Brony movement as a bunch off creepy furries. Laughing and mocking
the ones who watched and enjoyed the show.

But then I watched the first episode.

Then I watched the second episode.

Then I wondered why the bloody hell I was watching ponies at 3 am. And more importantly why the hell I didn't mind.

The show is wonderfuly written. The animation is fantasic. It's quirky. It's cocky. It's made for for year olds. but it's watched by 17 year olds.
Name one kids show that has a happy, eccentric charater spiral deeply into a deep dark depression, and eventually into completely insanity.
Name another kids show that has the shy charater make both a dragon and a cocktrice its bitch.
Name one kids show where one charater battles over the idea of faith, and in the process gets hit by falling potted plants, anvils and and grand panio.
Name another kids show that has one of the charaters dress up as an 19th century prosituite.
Name another kids cartoon that refers to a dragon as 'Huffie The Magic Dragon.

Call me a furry, call me a deranged pedophile call me what ever you like. But the fact of the matter is, this show is amazing.

Now then onto the actual topic.

Pinkie Pie is my favourite pony. Simply because she is highly awesome, and is a spoof of any G1 pony.


Have any of you also noticed that Twilight Sparkle has various writing swings? Sometimes she is wise and knowledgeble. sometimes she is a shamless corprate plug-in
(mostly when she refers to the Cutie Mark Crusaders as 'My Little Ponies'), other times she is highly illogicial and awesome. Not to mention sometimes her langue diction sounds
very british.

I watched episode 1.
It wasn't that great. But it wasn't bad.

From this experience I think my favourite is Applejack.

You know, normally I would just pass over a thread when I see the subject about something I have no knowledge of but it does indeed interest me in that there are shows out there that are aimed at a younger audience but the dialog and interactions between characters seem to target a much older generation. While I do not know anything about "My Little Pony", I see a parallel resemblance to me loving older cartoons (like Transformers) because of their content. The only difference here is the viewing audience here is not "accepted", as you can see from the recent posts.

Of course, Ahtman does bring up a good point and giving you a reality check, you are a male, older than 4 years old, watching "My Little Pony".

On another note: Morathi's Darkest Sin...you really need to change that avatar of yours ...conjures up images of EQ (Firiona Vie) and...other not so appropriate thoughts.

The point being that you are not a 4 year old girl who craves a show where large segments of time are dedicated to putting on dresses and make up to go to "the gala"* and bringing this subject up yet again on a forum where you know it won't be well received might be considered as being somewhat attention-seeking.

I brought it up once before at end of season 1. I don't call making 'two threads' excessively spamming the forum. And this thread seemed to actually begin to enter a good direction.

Besides, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack and Fosters Home were all directed at children audiences, but they are still widly accepted as good cartoons by adults. MLP can (and in my opinion is) the same. The only difference is that it is traditionally thought of as a children's show.

I understand that you don't like the show. And I'm fine with that. However, it'd be great if you stopped insulting fans for liking something you don't like.

I don't honestly know. It's been a long, LONG time since I've had any interest in that show, so I don't know what to say about it anymore.

But if watching one show for 4 year olds is such a crime, I don't see how watching another is any different....

If other people like it and want to watch it, thats ok with me, as long as I don't have to watch it as well.

Out of interest where is the 4yr old thing coming from, is it just an exaggeration for a put down?

From what I can gather from looking around the target auidience was originally only noted as 'young Girls' which is a pretty broad term.

The cloest I can get is six to ten, from someone talking about the show at comic con.

Looking at the jokes referenced in here, and from the clip/ad I saw on one ofthe kiddie networks my sons where watching a few weeks back, plus info on wiki. I'd say she was aiming at slightly older kiddies than four, especially as it notes she'd referenced such things as X-men, 2001 and Diamond Dogs in the show.

Now that I spent five mins looking at wiki, and the fact the lady in charge did Fosters home for imaginary Friends, tells me all I need to know, as I've seen that many times, and I suspect a similar humour runs though this.

@Zyllos - nevah, Morathi and Alarielle are quite happy there, and will be for many moons to come.

Like much of kids TV/film MLP:FiM is designed to appeal to both the children watching and their parents watching it with them, this is why it appeals to an older audience.

I'm not going to pretend I know what you... "Bronies" (I shudder at the word) see in that show, but I'm going to give my opinion, and I believe that MR will agree with me:

Spoiler:
You want a good show? Go watch Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. That show was geared for an older audience, as it was about the loss of childhood. It was also funny as hell, had great characters with depth, and everyone in it was fluid. In MLP, all the characters have personality traits that define who they are. In FHfIF, the characters are ever changing, gaining new traits. In the beginning, Bloo was a nagging little annoyance. By the last episode, ha was a caring, kind soul. It also wasn't a show where this happened:

1. Thing happens
2. Person A has a flaw in his/her personally that is exploited by said flaw.
3. Person B helps person A overcome the flaw.
4. Person A solves the problem.

That's MLP in a nutshell. Each story is self contained, meaning no character development can occur. A show like Fosters had a overarching story, so it allowed for character development. It also had the BEST intro music and video I have ever seen. It introduces the characters in a fast, funny and quirky way. It also contains no voices, which I haven't seen in a while.

While I disagree with your assertion that all bronies should be castrated (whatever happened to respecting your opponent?) I will admit that compared to MLP, Fosters WAS the superior show just for the reasons you mentioned.

MLP:FiM's greatest weakness is the lack of an overarching story arc. I acknowledge that, and wish it was different. Rumors say such an arc may be coming in season 2, so here's hoping. However, I still hold that--when viewed as a slice of life show--it is a thoroughly enjoyable show.

I also disagree that there is no character development. As a slice of life show, despite the lack of the overarching story arc, the characters ARE consistent, and as a result, we get a deeper look into them. They are not one note characters. To be perfectly honest, all of the main characters have major problems in their psychology.

I would also point out that your summar is subverted by episodes like A Dog and Pony Show. If your synopsis were true, you'd expect it to be about the more gung ho ponies trying to rescue poor, helpless Rarity. Instead, Rarity practically saves herself. This subversion shows that the show does not revolve around simple one note plots like you allege.

Interesting choice of words. I can understand what you are saying and trying to get across, but you wrote it in such a fashion that it contradicts itself.

This helps my case even further. I actually went ahead wand watched the show (I'd give it a 6/10. Not the worst, but is funny at moments. I can see why people like it.) and noticed that Rarity doesn't have any real cange in her personality after that event. In a show like Fosters, there would be a change in the person after an event like that. Take my favorite character from Fosters, Eduardo. Eduardo is stuck in a shopping mall, and must talk to strangers, a very hard thing for him to do. He does is, and in the following episodes, you can see that Eduardo is having a much easier time, even showing up on TV!

What I'm trying to get at is that MLP:FiM isn't a bad show. If the rumors are true, and that the story will be fleshed out more, I may find myself watching from time to time. Until then, I have to say I dislike it. I don't hate it, but I don't like it.

I really think the 'So' is a sort of... "So are you really sure you want other people to know about this?" kinda So.

Don't get me wrong please. We all have our guilty pleasures. Not all of us broadcast them in public though. I think for a lot of people the fact that someone openly talks about what they do, is far weirder than them actually doing it.

Though in fairness you have made me feel much better about my guilty pleasure, which is (perhaps unsurprisingly) Warhammer.

I would definately say they have major problems in their psychology, if it's not always so apparant.

While yes, Rarity is always a sort of fashionesta, and Twilight is always a book worm, they do show different personality traits as to not seem so one sided.

Not necessarily. While the STORY may not create arcs (e.g. Star Trek TNG, where a large number of episodes were stand alone), the characters themselves do experience development over time.


This helps my case even further. I actually went ahead wand watched the show (I'd give it a 6/10. Not the worst, but is funny at moments.

He does is, and in the following episodes, you can see that Eduardo is having a much easier time, even showing up on TV!


Once again, I admit that Fosters is the superior show. I could however argue that the situations are different.

Eduardo had a problem--his shyness--that he managed to overcome. However, Rarity did not have a problem she had to overcome in the same sense. The episode wasn't about how prim and proper Rarity needed to learn how to be a bit more rough and tumble to get out of a situation; it was about how prim and proper Rarity was always intelligent enough to get out of such a situation on her own, in contrast to how others thought she would need saving.

In that sense, it's not that Rarity overcame a problem in such a way that we would expect to see a major change in her character, it's more about how Rarity is expressing herself in a way that we simply haven't seen before.

A better example of the situation you're referring to would be Fluttershy. Like Eduardo, Fluttershy started off as a shy scaredycat who could barely talk to strangers (unless they were cute animals). However, over the course of the season, you get to see how other member of the main cast give her advice on how to deal with those problems. A good example would be how in A Bird in the Hoof Fluttershy was acting as her usual kind self in trying to care for an uncooperative animal, with Twilight Sparkle telling her that she NEEDS to be more assertive and tough in her love.

Fast forward to the end of Season 1, and you get Fluttershy taking Twilight's advice to heart (perhaps a little too much.)

Other characters who have been in situations where their character would change--e.g. Applejack after Applebuck Season, Pinkie Pie after Party of One. and Twilight after Feeling Pinkie Keen--have simply not been placed back in such a situation yet, a problem that arises from the relatively short length of the season.

Time will tell if the creative team behind MLP takes such changes to heart like Foster's did, or not.

What I'm trying to get at is that MLP:FiM isn't a bad show. If the rumors are true, and that the story will be fleshed out more, I may find myself watching from time to time. Until then, I have to say I dislike it. I don't hate it, but I don't like it.

It has taken me a few days to think about this comment. I look at this as a good way to look at it.

I am a Furry: I like dress up as a Furry Animal and go at and have fun, just like I did when I was 7 for Halloween.

I am a Gamer: I like to play with little plastic army men, like when I was 7.

I am a Brony: I enjoy watching the new show, as I did back in the 80’s.

I am not all consumed with it like others, but I like the show. I have all three showings a day programmed in so I can see the episodes I have missed. If I have seen the episode and an episode of Avatar the Last Air-Bender, NCIS, Burn Notice, Top Gear or Only in America with Larry The Cable Guy on, I might watch them instead.

Liking a show because it entertains you is not bad. Obsessing over a TV Show is bad most of the time. Everyone I have talked to about the show loves it, but they are not going out and planning on spending the $125 on the Boxed set at Best Buy to watch it inside a darkened room. They are going to get it to show there friends and family and hope they like it to. If they don’t understand it after watching it, so be it.

I think all of us who watch the show has also been very civil. I think everyone should be this way.

Thank you for your time

Here's the different, here's what the minatures are suppose to be:
and here's what the Happy little pony thing is be:
Warhammer 40k shows a sense of Maturity and a sense of Grim Darkness. Alot of people who like Warhammer, also like Dark Thing. So, what do you expect from a show like that?

Yeah, funny thing about that. The thing is, it seems that most people see 40k as a childrens game, in fact, even at the LGS, 40k players for the most part are looked at as a joke. Do I let that stop me? No. I play because I love strategy games, and I like the designs of the models, and the parody of a "grimdark future".

Why do I like my little pony? The design, the story, and the parody of a happy-sunshine world.

Of course, this is why a lot of traditional gamers have grown tired of 40k, because they like to compare EVERYTHING to 40k.

You and I BOTH play with little plastic soldiers. Claiming that different hobbies have some kind of maturity level is rather immature itself. More importantly, I doub you've ever actually watched MLP. The animation is fantastic, and Lauren Faust has received 6 Emmy Nominations for her work in the past.

Getting nominated for Emmys is not something I consider the mark of a person with 'the mindset of a 5 year old'.

And finally, I'll leave this here:

C.S. Lewis wrote:Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

I just finished watching 20 episodes, in 2 days.

Anyway, I like the show, the humor is good, teaching kids life lessons and all that. Although I have to skip the intro, since it makes me put my head in my hands in shame, but other than that, it's all good.

Also, a lot of the monsters they've encountered in the show.... Dragon? Manticore? Cokatrice? Hydra?.....when are we gonna see a Lamasuu MLP style?

I honestly think the hate is, in and of itself, a reaction to how popular the show got so fast. Since it exploded so rapidly, people lashed out against it. Espescially since, on the surface, it seems like it'd be the same crappy MLP show that was in the 80s.

But once they watch it...well, I've seen a large amount of people converted once they decided to sit down and watch it.

oh feth,i broke my promise to myself time to fall on my katana.

i never fully hated it,i just didnt like it because i dont like rainbows and ponies and colorful happy times. those still hold it back from being on my top 10 list,but even with those its on my top 15 list,which is impressive and deserves a .

i think the reason they hate it is because there guys and they think guys should not like cute,ponies,rainbows,and the like. but the thing is thats not what makes me like the show,its the story and the goofy (if not almost scary at times) characters.

I also find the constant "It's for little girls!" amusing. There are a number of hilarious references that are just about impossible for a child to get. Hell, I'm not even sure most teenagers today would get references to:

1. Blazing Saddles
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey
3. The Troubles with Tribbles
4. Road Runner / Wile E. Coyote (<-- holy smokes I wish I were wrong on this one. )
5. 1984 (the movie, not the year )

for starters.

She's stepping down as executive producer, but she's said she's not leaving the show entirely. From what several people who have worked /are working on it have said, there shouldn't be any real noticeable change.

I'll give it a shot, at the very least.

Indeed, I'm going to at least watch Season 2. If the show has gone completely down the crapper without Lauren, then I'll stop, but it seems like the new produce is highly aware of the adult male fandom, so hopefully that's a good sign.

Oh and.

There are a few bits that I really liked, but I can never seem to pick a favorite.

Fluttershy's cheering was lulzworthy, also when those cursed flowers turned her voice way way deep. That was awesome.

Normally I hate songs in Cartoons, but I liked Rarity's song, and Pinkie Pie's "No Fear" song. They are just happy little tunes.

Ah, more Pony threads. I recall posting what I believe was the first Pony thread on Dakka to mixed reactions. It seems that those who are anti-Pony have little to back up their hatred, and have never even watched the show. I am a staunch Bronie, and feel no shame for being part of such a unique culture. On that note, my favorite Pony is Fluttershy.

EDIT:

I fail to see why those in the anti-Pony camp can't simply leave us alone. We like something you don't, get over it. There's no reason for you to break into our threads and start denouncing our interest. We don't come after you for your shows of choice, we only ask that you extend to us the same courtesy. Honestly. It's downright disrespectful to liken Bronies to furries and pedophiles within our own domain. I would ask that the original purpose of this thread be preserved and the debate laid aside. It belongs on a thread other than this one.

WRONG!!! [You just pushed the button]
We do not Push others into being Furry, what we push is acceptance of our Fandom.
As far as being a furry: We are one of the only groups in the world that have completely destroyed the Racial/Sexual Orientation/Political/ Economical Predigest barriers.
We only judge those who Judge us.
This is why we have a large number of deviants within our number, because unless you do something criminal we don’t give a [bleep] about what you do and who you do it with.
This is the kind of rumor that causes us a problem, if the Fandom found one in our Paws, he would be reported so quick it would make your head spin. We do not condone this activity in real life.
We also are one of the groups out there that are trying to do good in the world.

In defense of Bronies
Bronies are not all Furries
Furries are not all Bronies

"Dressing up like an animal? What a weirdo!" he said as he inserted his newest DVD into his computer: "Happy Tentacle Robot Demon Time Wish School", fresh from Japan. He wanted to get the original Japanese version, because as everyone knows, dubs are for filthy uneducated peasants, and no doubt the American version would cut out 90% of the Robot Demon Tentacles! It was the only thing that would soothe him after the terrible day he had. I mean, someone wanted to use their green plastic space mans as RED plastic space mans! The gumption! The nerve! Everyone knows that green space mans can't be red space mans.

If that was directed at me, I was kidding, as I hoped the orkmoticons would convey.

Back on topic (and I think I posted this in this thread before), I've never watched the show, not terribly interested in the show, but if you (general "you", not aimed at anyone specifically) want to watch the show, godspeed you. Have fun. Who really gives a crap? It's a friggin' cartoon.

Don't like the show? Don't watch it, don't read threads related to it.

I do like a lot of the memes and images it's spawned, that's about all I can say about the show itself.


Not directed at anyone in particular : )

And the memes it's spawned are half the reason I started watching the show, just to see what it was all about. The other half of course, was this thread.

Also, excellent summation.

Now, as many of you have noticed, lots of pony threads on OT before have failed thanks to a variety of reasons.

I'd like for this thread to not have the same fate. The topic of this thread is general MLP discussion. Anything about MLP is on topic. However, in order to ensure that this thread does not end up locked like the other ones, I'd like to make a few requests.

1) No pic spam. One pony reaction image or so is fine, but don't just spam dozens of pony pictures. THis thread is about discussing MLP, not throwing pictures at each other.

2) To those of you who either dislike the MLP:FiM show and its fandom, or are simply indifferent, please be respectful. If you find the pony fandom annoying, then no one is forcing you to visit a thread you KNOW will be filled with ponies. If you dislike the show, please at least be respectful to us. If you want to criticize, criticize. We bronies realize that not everyone will love MLP, and while we will encourage you to watch a show we love, we will respect our different opinions. However, do expect us to defend the show if we feel you're making an unfair criticism.

3) No trolling, please. We bronies will stay in our thread, and leave those of you who dislike the show alone. Please pay us the same courtesy. Bronies? If we are trolled, remember this: Bronies do it with love and tolerance.


Just as a reminder, not aimed at you lord commissar klimono. : )

But then I watched the first episode.

Then I watched the second episode.

Then I wondered why the bloody hell I was watching ponies at 3 am. And more importantly why the hell I didn't mind.

The show is wonderfuly written. The animation is fantasic. It's quirky. It's cocky. It's made for for year olds. but it's watched by 17 year olds.
Name one kids show that has a happy, eccentric charater spiral deeply into a deep dark depression, and eventually into completely insanity.
Name another kids show that has the shy charater make both a dragon and a cocktrice its bitch.
Name one kids show where one charater battles over the idea of faith, and in the process gets hit by falling potted plants, anvils and and grand panio.

Name another kids show that has one of the charaters dress up as an 19th century prosituite.
Name another kids cartoon that refers to a dragon as 'Huffie The Magic Dragon.

Call me a furry, call me a deranged pedophile call me what ever you like. But the fact of the matter is, this show is amazing.

Now then onto the actual topic.

Pinkie Pie is my favourite pony. Simply because she is highly awesome, and is a spoof of any G1 pony.


Have any of you also noticed that Twilight Sparkle has various writing swings? Sometimes she is wise and knowledgeble. sometimes she is a shamless corprate plug-in
(mostly when she refers to the Cutie Mark Crusaders as 'My Little Ponies'), other times she is highly illogicial and awesome. Not to mention sometimes her langue diction sounds
very british.

WoW! I read all of this tread and this is what I have to say. Hasbro has one hell of a product that has survived 30 years.

I also have a hard time not looking at the business angle of things, so my apology to all on that aspect of me.

I remember the first time MLP came out and I knew back then that the Big chaaking! was happening.

I watched the newer stuff because of that was posted here and it was not too bad from a different perspective that I see. There is no harm to people watching it. It does have an audience and it sells product. The artwork is fine for what it and it does as well.

And bty people seem to like to collect the models as well. A collector is a collector and there is nothing wrong with that either.

If people like watching that show (including an older audience) then that cool by me.

I was being sarcastic.

My point was, basically:

Weirdo nerds who play with toy soldiers and rage when someone tries to, say use their Dark Angels and Blood Angels, and many of whom also watch bizarre foreign cartoons featuring scantily clad underage girls, probably don't have a lot of room to ridicule weirdo nerds who like to dress like animals.

Or, generalizations are general.

Or, as I said: Furries are weird but who gives a gak?

I see either my sarcasm didn't come through or your sarcasm detector is broken, as I would also point out that not all anime contains scantily clad underage girls, and not everyone is going to flip out if someone plays their Green Space Marines as Blood Angels.

Done.

Speaking of potentially disturbing MLP related images, I decided to man up and go to ponychan.

I'm honestly shocked. It is a pretty great community, and I have not yet seen anything to make me regret visiting. Although, I would still be wary of which forums you enter. However, I've seen a few threads that have been labeled NSFW, and avoided those. I have no idea the nature of the label; the rules of the site forbid anything of a sexual/pornographic nature. But I'm not taking any chances.

Also, the lay-out is INCREDIBLY confusing for those who are unfamilair with 4chan, or similar websites.

But I have seen some very cool/funny pictures there, and it seems to be populated by a good group of general MLP enthusiasts.

Oh yeah, and my video is on there somewhere, since it is more appropriate in a pony oriented forum.

See if you can guess which one it is : P

Seen an episode now, and aye, I can see why folks would like it. Lauren Faust once again proves she can make a kids show that has some appeal for adults.

The episode I saw was about Applejack collecting apples from an orchard. Saw a few pop culture references that forced a chuckle, and I can see just from the couple of brief appearances in that episode why folks would love the Pinkie Pie chatacter.

As I thought previously, its just your typical cartoon, with enough effort to make it interesting for adults watching. If my brothers daughters where a little younger I am sure he'd have told me how awesome this show is, as much as he used to rave about Spongebob a couple of years ago.

Looking forward to whatever Faust comes up with next, I'd love to see her take on the superhero genre if I'm honest as I was a fan of Fosters.

As in 'Home For Imaginary Friends?' Is it the same creator?

Well, that's an endorsement if ever I heard one. Might give this colourful horse thing a go after all.

Do it, htj, and you will be hooked. Addicted. It's worth it, but fair warning to you.

Anyways, back on topic.

How did you guys start watching the show? I started because I just wanted to know what the fuss was about.

I have to point out, Karon, that as much as people like this show.... It's still grown men watching a show for little girls. Pretty sure most "bronies" don't actually take it that seriously (though I'm sure, as in all things, there are a handful who go too far).

Good point, RatBot.

As with everything.

But even to the people who really love it that much, I don't really mind. Why should I care? They're not hurting anyone.

Right. And while "too far" is a matter of opinion most of the time anyway, at worst those guys spent $5 a piece on little plastic ponies to pose with them for whatever reason. Whooo.

GW expects you to pay 20 bucks a piece on little resin ponies being ridden by vampires.

What do you mean by seriously? Do you mean we're only watching it because it's so bad it's good? In which case that's false, we watch it because it's a legitimetely good show.

All I know, is that when a pony is no longer shaped like a pony, it gets bad. And now, I direct you to an ObnoxiousD**cheAlt Prouduction:

Somewhat NSFW, depending on your boss.

*Have not opened spoiler*

I only ever care when ponies are illustrated pornographically. On par with pedophillia to me, but that is only my opinion.

But really, lets not even go where I think this thread might be going.

And to clarify, I've nothing against furries.

What I meant to convey, is that I hate it when characters who are young/innocent are put into those situations.
