Your thoughts on Bronies/Pegasisters?

Personally, I am sick of adults obsessing over a show made for prepubescent girls. Would like to know what other 'non-fans' think of the phenomenon.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'd google, but given the name, I think I'd rather not know. laugh out loud

Iagree

My Strange Addiction? or the other show where people are obsessive about collections (like Cabbage Patch Dolls)

I've never watched My Little Ponies...so I have no idea what all the fuss is about...but from what it sounds like there are subtle undertones to the show that are very adult in nature (no, not sexually) but emotionally/mentally...that adults like and the fact that I think it takes a lot of them back to their childhoods...

Idk...it weirds me out but I'm not one to judge.

Exactly my thoughts. I think the whole idea of adults fussing with 'cute' ponies is quite pedophilic in nature.

I can't stop laughing. Why even worry about it? If you're not into it, just leave it be. People always jump on the stupidest fads. If it isn't this one, it'll just be another one that's equally ridiculous.

Given a chance, I'd buy a dozen but just for the sake of burning them and putting the video up on youtube. I'd love to see the comments from the fans.

I've never watched the show, but my brother has sent me links to some ponified videos that he likes (this one comes to mind: Pinkie's Drunk Kitchen [youtube.com]).

I've run across some PMVs (Pony Music Videos) where the lipsynching seemed to be done quite well. Personally, I like the original live-action music video for My Darkest Days "Porn Star Dancing" more than the "My Little Pony" one, but to each his own.


Doesn't bother me at all, though. Offhand I can't think of a reason why it should.

That sounds like quite a reach.

What about people that collect dolls? Or collect action figures? Or collect classic toys? Or what about all the adults that still enjoy Disney movies?

Are those hobbies/interests pedophilic in nature, too?

Where do you see a huge group of adults collecting My Little Pony dolls???

I don't really care what others choose to collect, I just haven't heard of this being a popular activity so I'm wondering why the rant.

Why is the OP so interested in other people's farked up interest? Sounds like someone wants to have a My Little Pony fetish but too ashamed to admit it.

Those people see it as a hobby. MLP folks usually take it too far. Google "Lyra plushie" to see what I mean.
