I was actually involved in a (slightly inebriated) discussion about the "Brony" phenomenon, and we decided it's ultimately the

result of an epic troll. Someone or a some group of people, probably super nerds a la 4chan arbitrarily decided to find the

absolutely "gayest" thing they could (a silly cartoon geared towards pre-pubescent girls) and give it a perverse, "nerd chic"

veneer.



Memes were created and a little subculture grew around the pretense of simply being carefree and rejecting the conforms of

society. Pandora's Box was opened, and now... we have...







BRONIES!





They don't even realize... they're the victims of a super nerd troll of epic proportions.

Weird, effeminate, creepy, immature, socially retarded , well sure, but liking a cartoon for little girls means you are a pedo?

Holy shit, I made it in before the brownie swarm.  They must still all be in bed after a hard night of (shudders to think about it), or maybe the arfcom IM system is broken.

Edit:   Bronie not brownie, although iPad auto correct seems smart enough to hint at the pedo theory.

Most of them go beyond just liking a cartoon and make it some kind of lifestyle.
Some member here will gladly tell you how he writes "pony fan porn" or whatever cutesy name they call it but isnt sexually aroused himself by it. Haha Buuuuuullllllshit.

Y'all seriously assign waaaaaaay too much significance to a cartoon show. Are there some sickos that are into it? Sure. But there are some sickos into pretty much any hobby you can name, including firearms.

I don't worry about them at all. They can do whatever the fuck they want to do. Have a full scale brony orgy with ICP as the main headlining band.

I just don't want them around me or my children

Juggalos are a different kind of social misfit and I expect that phenomenon has a lot to do with lead paint.

Who cares. I think the whole brony thing is strange but I don't see them demanding that I give up more of my money or demanding that I give up my more of my rights unlike some other groups.

Screwed up in the head for sure.



No father figure? Bad childhood? Overbearing mom that can't cut the apron strings? Who knows.




But watching/enjoying/lifestyling around a TV show aimed at preteen girls is damned weird/perverted.

I think that the Dice man said it best when discussing bi-sexuality:

"You either suck dick, or you don't."

I think that there's a parallel there, somewhere?
