And in regards to targeting, I recently re-watched some cartoons from my childhood and was amazed by the number of sexual innuendos they were laced with. Hell, I watched Ren and Stimpy on Nickelodeon before it was pulled, and now you would have parents screaming if their kids watched that. But, I digress. I've not seen rem & stimpy, in my childhood there was Tom & Jerry, Road Runner & Wile E Coyote, Bugs Bunny & Crew - mostly slapstick type humor with a few adult gags thrown in; maybe some Super Friends on Saturday morning. But you can tell a programs targeted audience by the commercials they show during it. When you're watching the cartoon are you seeing advertisements for toys, hair braids, or something similar or do you see ads for vacuum cleaners, automobiles, or personal injury lawyers? Thanks for the info on the statues/action figures - do those Japanese type 'porn' graphic novels fall into the 'teenage boy' market or are they indeed marketed for adults? |

I feel dirty for pulling this up on google, but here goes. The majority of those are created in Japan. In Japan, the age of consent is 13 and age of majority is 20. So I'd say they are meant for children considering the age disparity. |

Personally, I lean towards "think what you want, but I might tell you off if you get on me about it" Pretty much someone's business is their own. Pretty much the philosophy I subscribe to. Like I said earlier, do what you want but if you admit to something outside of the societal norms (watching little girls tv shows) expect ribbing (or at least in some cases in this thread) worse. So long as its legal, people should be able to do whatever in their homes without repercussions. Agreed if those 'repercussions' are legal. As an example I don't think if you want to wife swap you should be arrested - but don't expect all your friends to remain friends if they find out. Considering I know that someone will throw it back at me, key words were LEGAL and OWN HOME. So no, pedos are still going to jail. Gays can be gay, furries can fur, and that one guy that likes to dress up in a latex balloon costume can as far as I'm concerned. Just stay out of my home with it. BINGO! Kind of like the whole satanism thread the other day. I missed that one. If one religion can donate a monument of their religious laws to a courthouse, why shouldn't another religion be allowed it? All or none. Because the laws cited on the monument are considered to be a foundation of Western legal systems? I know of know Satanic or Pagan laws that were used when setting up this country. |

Forest;
So what's "normal" and who judges that? You? Hah. Hardly. Frankly, some people would think you're a religious zealot, and that's not normal. (Not wishing to be offensive, but discussing religion in this topic is certainly not "normal" in my estimation.) NOBODY is "normal". We ALL have some ways in which we deviate from the averages of society. Anyone who IS completely normal is nobody I'd ever want to meet. What a boring and predictable person that would be. |

but discussing religion in this topic is certainly not "normal" in my estimation.) I never claimed to be 'normal', I'm a Sci Fi geek well before it was 'cool' to be a nerd. So yes I was ribbed about it - ok so what? Me a religious zealot? Hardly. I quoted one verse which is one I found to be universal (the one about growing up and putting away childish notions). You saw more verse citing from the non believers. NOBODY is "normal". We ALL have some ways in which we deviate from the averages of society. Not arguing with you there. But face it some deviations are considered acceptable or even 'cool' - others are frowned upon. It may not be fair, but that's the way it is, the way it has been, and most likely the way it will always be. Anyone who IS completely normal is nobody I'd ever want to meet. What a boring and predictable person that would be. I've still yet to find that person. |

It was simply an analogy to illustrate the concept that you happened to grasp quite nicely. I guarantee you that if you accuse a good Catholic gent from Southie (South Boston) of being a pedophile simply because he is a Catholic, he will not take it nearly as well as the MLP fans here. |

Who gets to define whats "normal"? Alread asked and answered In the UK they show tits on prime time, here its verboten, Whos right? In their society that is the norm, here it's not. We can argue who is right and wrong all day. Fact is it's not "Normal' here in the US. Not that long ago if a man wanted to be a nurse he was ridiculed for doing "girls" work and a lot of people would have refused to let woman Dr. treat them, are modern male nurses and female Dr's to be made fun of as not normal? It wasn't then - it is now. Society and norms do change. But ranting how your 'out of norm' behavior isn't approved of strikes me as a bit childish - particularly when the behavior in question concerns a child's tv show. Want to get into what is normal or not? Look at the guys that get ridiculed for watching/playing soccer (a normal sport the world over) by people who only watch American Football. Yet this is considered 'normal' here. At one time the mentally ill were sent to asylums and treated horribly because they were not normal. The fact is the mentally ill were not 'normal' they were mentally ill. The fact they were treated poorly is a stain on the mental health professionals at the time, not the fact they were put in asylums. What about when it was "normal" to own black people like farm equipment? Whats normal for you (religion) is abnormal and strange to me. So again I ask, who gets to decide what is normal,you, me, society, and who gets to decide which society is "right" ours, the Germans, the French, The Aborigines? 
The fact is unless you live in France, Germany or the Outback their 'norms' don't count. Where you live and your citizens define 'normal'. Note 'Normal' is not the same as 'moral', it is possible to have immoral norms and it's common for 'normal' to change over time in the same society. (look at gay marriage - agree with it or not it's clear it's become more 'acceptable' and 'normal' in our society). |

Ads? It's 2013. Who the fuck watches ads? You either watch them on ad-free netflix, or fast forward on the DVR. Do you still hand crank your record player? Quote HistoryQuoted:

When you're watching the cartoon are you seeing advertisements for toys, hair braids, or something similar or do you see ads for vacuum cleaners, automobiles, or personal injury lawyers? Ads? It's 2013. Who the fuck watches ads? You either watch them on ad-free netflix, or fast forward on the DVR. Do you still hand crank your record player? Even fast forwarding on the DVR you get a sense of what the ads are. |

I will NEVER UNDERSTAND the Bronie culture. I feel very sad for our culture and country every time I hear about grown men watching and liking that shit. Methinks you have too much invested in a culture that is constantly changing. Live your life, let others do the same. Unless I'm fucking your daughter, chasing your family with a chainsaw or doing anything that personally effects you, what does it matter? Societies change, groups rise and fall in popularity, some things go in and out of fashion. The world is in constant flux. Adapt and overcome. To be brutally honest, the next 25 years or so (barring the US self destructing) are going to define the word human. We are on the cusp of destroying life altering disabilities and curing a great many diseases. Be the cures genetically modified, grown, or implanted. A few years ago, there as an article I was reading about how a group of scientists managed to create a connection that allows the brain to access things over modern hardware. With some work that can extend to naturally used robotic limbs, external memory storage, etc. Let alone that with the advances in quantum computing, nanotech is a short while away, with all its advantages and compromises. At what point does the term human cease to apply? What will it need to be redefined as? The world is changing faster than most people know, and in the end the only solace most will find is with their families. Personally, I'll openly embrace transhumanism. *shrug* To each their own. ETA: Hell, some nanotech is in human trials for disease cures right now. |

You're starting to sound like a Gay person screaming 'YOU MUST LOVE AND ACCEPT ME'. I understand the sentiment, but bless your heart, that isn't the way the world works. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not even close, bless your heart, but thanks for trying to use reason and logic. Notice I said trying, not succeeding. I think reason and logic are a little beyond you grasp. You're starting to sound like a Gay person screaming 'YOU MUST LOVE AND ACCEPT ME'. I understand the sentiment, but bless your heart, that isn't the way the world works. I understand that. I also understand that liking a cartoon doesn't correlate to being a deviant pedophile, no matter how hard someone insists that it does. And I understand prejudice when I see it. There is another biblical quote I would refer you to, since you seem to enjoy the references. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." From where I stand, you have two hands full of rocks and your throwing arm is in good form. Are you without sin? Do you perchance like something someone else could consider meaningless, offensive, or inappropriate? If so, then judge not, lest ye be judged. |

Do any of you bronies have a gf or wife? If yes can you do at least 75 pushups in 2 minutes? If yes do you work full time? If yes do you have your own place? OK be honest how many brownies actually made it to the end?
Eta...if you watch with your little girl you get a pass

And I'm diabetic, so 99.5% of the brownies will be left over. Anything more than a taste and I go into a coma.

Sorry North. Lol could be worse. If I really try I can have some, but I just hate giving extra insulin shots. Kind of funny really, I hate needles but am an inkie
Fudge sounds freaking amazing Sadly my last experience wasn't too good though. A local place does sugar free. Ate some and found out they make it with a crap ton of sucrose. FML
