I'm thinking there must be some level of sexual attraction between the older fans and the "characters".

It's my 5 year old girl's favorite cartoon so I have seen a few episodes. I had to stop and rewind one episode to do a double take when it showed them at a bowling alley and I saw one pony with a hairnet, one with shooting glasses and Donnie and The Dude. I guess there are worse things to watch.

Hell and fuck yes. The entire corpus of Robotech is on Netflix, I need to watch it all from start to finish, at some point. I'm kind of shocked how much some of the mecha in the scenes of the units arming up look like Warhammers and Wasps from Battletech. Didn't some company eventually sue the shit out of FASA for obviously just outright stealing designs? I don't know if they got sued, but a lot were obviously direct copies. Battletech: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/lichtblau/mecha/Battletech/Marauder/marauder004.jpg Robotech: http://www.kent.net/robotech/mecha/zentraedi/glaug.gif Gotta love a children's cartoon that graphically wiped out 70% of planet earth and showed kids getting vaporized. FASA had the US gaming rights to the designs from Harmony Gold, for the mecha that appeared in Macross (Robotech), and several other shows. BatleTech was originally to be just a remix of those mecha designs in a universe that was more or less Five Star Stories rebaked. This was back in the day when stuff from Japan was exotic, ha! Harmony Gold, Tatsunoko (the original creators) and FASA (and to some degree Palladium Books) eventually all got back into a snarl about it later on, with incompatibilities in US and Japan copyright laws, plus the newer media of a new cartoon and movie possibly, and all kinds of other messes. FASA folded, the IP for BattleTech now resides with Catalyst Labs. BattleTech expurgated all their borrowed designs from new materials, replacing them with new designs, and went their own way. Palladium Books now has a revised Robotech RPG out that is much closer in details to the original Macross source materials. The new cartoon died after two episodes I think it was. This. The legal quagmire of Macross/Robotech IP is really amazing. Just try getting a license to use those designs. Complete nightmare. Best, JBR |

It isn't the animation at all, or that it's even about a toy line. It's about that it's based on a girls toy line from the 1980's. And not even a very...good or interesting toy at that. Barbie is something that lots of people are interested in and can relate to, not "My Little Pony"... My Little Pony was about one of the worse toys ever invented in the 1980's, basically cheap plastic hollow sparkly crap with long plastic hair...that you combed. You couldn't pose them, you couldn't adjust them, and they never had anything cooler than a collar or barn for a play set, WTF? They just stand around looking cute and you comb their hair... STOOPIST TOY EVER!! At least with the 12" Barbie you could have GI Joe beat the shit out of that metro-fag Ken and bend Barbie over the hood of her pink Corvette! When grown men find themselves interested in things for 4-8 year old girls, it borders on something creepy and perverse. No kidding. How do grown men explain their attendance to such an event to the other adults in their lives? Damn.

"Okay, just so we're clear, you all know that the whole 'brony' thing is going to lead to a relaunch of every awful 80s saturday morning merchandise-cartoon series in an attempt to cash in on it, right? Good." Intercut with a bunch of brief clips from Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake (which I think they already did relaunch, it airs around the same time as MLP did when it was new during Seaon 2). Quoted:
Rule 34 admits of no exceptions. NO. EXCEPTIONS.
I'm thinking there must be some level of sexual attraction between the older fans and the "characters". 
Quoted:
All but... one of the bronies that I'd say I actually know are both. There was a brief civil war on Furaffinity over whether MLP fanart and OC and such were allowed. Some of the active posters in the big thread in Team are furries, too. There is considerable overlap in the venn diagram.
I don't know whats worse, Bronies or Furries.. Quoted:
Negative. My friend Syld lives in PA, and is both a brony and a furry. Mein gott, they've infiltrated the very birthplace of freedom! Dun dun dunnnn.
Just move to PA. It fixes everything. Quoted:
That seems absurd and baselessly reductionist. Why can't someone just think a thing is fun and interesting without it being some kind of insidious conspiracy? Why can't nerds just be nerds about nerdy shit? Surely no hipster would ever attend a convention so mainstream as to have thousands of attendees, media coverage, and support from the content-creating corporation.

I do watch that show, it does amuse me, and I'm not any farther "into it" than that. I have none of the related merchandising products and don't have any want, need, or desire to get any.
There are different levels of fandom. I'd say I'm pretty low on the ladder. The statement that there's a connection between fandom and pedophilia is a retarded statement from a retarded mind. You couldn't establish such a connection if you had a large team of investigators and lots of time and money to waste on that particular witchhunt. It's just people enjoying a fantasy world. You know, like those people who waste endless hours playing Skyrim or Minecraft or Halo. No different in general concept, except they're probably a more open minded, fun loving bunch instead of a bunch of passive-aggressive basement dwellers. Incidentally, Bronycon was hosted by John DeLancie, well known as Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's done a voice role (Discord) in the show on a couple of episodes and will probably be doing it again CJ |

As for children's TV shows, I have degrees of hate and love for all of them. "Adventure Time" is some of the worst shit I've ever seen in my life. "Veggie Tales" as well. MLP is "Meh".
Pretty much the only one I LOVE is "Phineas and Ferb", because it's bad ass. If I'm drunk at 3am and "Phineas and Ferb" comes on, I'll watch that shit, and laugh my ass off. That shit is awesome. My Son and I will be sitting on the couch some nights, and the conversation goes like this: Me: Hey bud, what do you want to watch? Him: Barney! Veggie Tales! Adventure Land! Dexter's Laboratory! Me: Phineas and Ferb it is, then.

That show does some kind of secret Nazi science to my brain and makes me love it. It's a little too frenetic, though, like Spongebob or The Fairly Oddparents, so I gotta take it two or three episodes at a time or I'll freak out. Also, John DiMaggio. John DiMaggio is all you need. Need to chainsaw a guy in half? John DiMaggio. Need a fist bump from 500 yards? John DiMaggio. Smoke a cigar, drink a forty, steal priceless artworks? John DiMaggio. Truly a voice for all seasons.

Why not just assume that they like slightly different things than you? |

Honest questions for the ahem.... Bronies. Or those who live openly as Bronies.
What do your fathers think of your interest in My Little Pony? What do your girlfriends or wives think? What about your non bronie male friends? Do you engage in other activity normally associated with little girls? IE having tea parties with stuffed animals? Playing with or collecting Barbies, etc? Is this a new thing for you or have you always "marched to your own drummer? Not a slam just trying to understand the Bronie lifestyle? |
