Title: Ponies
Post by: Bobboau on October 12, 2011, 06:06:36 pm
ok, so after seeing a large number of Brony memes popping up here in discussion, and in at least one case someone's user name, I have come to wonder, what portion of our community is watching little girl cartoons?

so my question is, does the following video accurately describe you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24tnc4GKzUo

well, actually the question is do you like and watch My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic.

If you haven't figured out I like and watch My Little Pony, you haven't been paying much attention.

Nothing wrong with it, if people don't like it, just don't watch it, simple as that.
I think it's quite fun >_>

I was not passing judgement one way or another, I was just wondering how wide spread it was here.

You were probably thinking of my username.

Suffice it to say, I enjoy the show, and I really enjoy the massive deluge of great original music from the fanbase. Plus the art and fiction can be fairly entertaining when I need to take a break from studying.

In my defense, I have an almost-two-year-old daughter who is always asking to watch "ponies" with me.

To be fair, though, it was my idea in the first place... the memes made me curious.

I regret nothing.

I haven't actually watched the show proper, but I've browsed enough clips and seen enough meme pics that I might as well have at this point.

There's a reason why I picked "Kill It With Fire".  My Little Pony is EXTRA HERETICAL. (http://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/3/2055/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-space-mareine.jpg)

ok, so it seems we have only 10 bronies here, seemed like more with how frequently it was coming up, I guess it's easier to notice when something is present that to notice it's absence.

It seems that HLP dropped to 30 members, too. :P (Just kidding, I see your point.)

People keep saying that, but I don't remember anything promoting "tolerance" in FIM. More like... aggressive reconciliation of differences, if anything.

Yeah, it was an image macro that floated around for a while. Sorta like the Orbital Friendship Cannon. Love or hate the ponies, the fanbase is pretty well-meshed together and it's kind of refreshing to see kindness and cooperation on the internet. Probably one of the reasons a lot of us bronies stick around. I love the original music and endless remixes.

I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world, and consign 9529 souls to oblivion.

I don't really care about you Bronies. I hate most of MLP's fans though - not only do they seem to be under the (very stupid) impression that no-one can genuinely dislike MLP, nor do they realize that more often that not they are extremely annoying and seem to never shut up about MLP.

I can tolerate if you display you have other interests than MLP. However, MLP is the only thing you'll talk about, I'm afraid as a devotee of Chaos that I must steal your lungs and give them to the poor as dictated by Nurgle.

But, if you like MLP, have more than just MLP than an interest, and aren't within the "annoying" or "stupid" caterogy, than yay! I don't mind you Bronies having different interests. The thing I dislike is Bronies trying to force their interest on me. Just thought I would mention this, so you know.

Eh, mindless followers of just about anything are mostly intolerable, though. You could replace MLP with Halo or WoW or classical music or whatever.

I like the show, I like the art, and I love the original music. Other people don't. Just the way it is.  :D

Gotta agree with BritishShivans here.

Although, I think the taint is being insidiously forced upon me by several of my friends who have converted to Bronyism. I found myself reading Fallout: Equestria a while back, and listening to some of iamnotacleverpony's music. (Hydra Pulse and For The New Lunar Republic)

Why do I feel so behind the times. I didn't know what the hell Ponies was until a few months ago when somebody in my digital animation class showed me a rap version of something. I quickly forgot about it since I never saw it anywhere else

Then I started posting here more often, and seeing... ponies everywhere. I don't understand. I just don't. Then I clicked this thread
