I figure we put this discussion into a thread instead of having the topic pop in other threads and having them close down(like the unpopular opinions thread). The racism thread has been pretty civil, so this one can be.
I myself am not a fan of the show but I have many friends who are full on Bronies. They are all regular people, and I see no problem with them liking something out of the ordinary. They're not hurting anybody.
So what's your beef, dude?

I don't have any beef as such, I just find it a genuinely bizarre phenomenon.

I would prefer that you wouldn't end things with "so what's your beef?" That's just starting this thread on the wrong foot.

I've never gotten it myself, but I loved watching Powerpuff Girls as a kid so I can't talk smack to any MLP fans.

Yeah, most have no problem with others watching the show and being apart of the fandom. It's when it goes into the sexualization of the show that's odd. You're borderline making it known that you're into beastiality. Plus, it's heartbreaking when a kid comes across pony porn when trying to look up their favorite pony.

Sorry Glitch, at first I was going to merge this thread inside the regular MLP one, but then I realized what the intent was and put it back. That's why it accidently has me listed as the thread creator.

Although I disagree with this issue since this fetishizing happens to everything. You also get ninja turtles doing weird, kinky acts. This issue is more about what children stumble upon on the internet in general rather than about a fandom.

I'm not trying to offend with the following statement. I've kept it under my hat for a long time, but I hope i can say it in this thread.
I'm not singling out any one person here, nor people on this forum solely, it's just a general opinion I've got over the past few years from various message boards.
The only thing that's ever.... I guess irritated would be the only word.. me about the fandom is how rabid some of them can be in their response towards ANY kind of criticism.
Once more, no offense meant, but there are times the response to criticism is so far exceeding the criticism it's almost humorous.

I don't think I know any grown man that's into My Little Pony or anyone that would admit to it. That's why it seems weird to me. If your into what your into great but I haven't encountered this in my everyday life so of course it will seem strange.

Nope, just saying it's not limited to just MLP.

I just think it's kinda weird. I've got no real problem with guys who watch the show, but when people are really REALLY into it, it's kinda cringeworthy in my opinion.

I like how this thread is tagged an Event.

I'd say minor events like this are what send a bad image of the brony fanbase to people that don't understand it, though. (spoiler'd it since it's pretty cringeworthy) {Spoiler}

That's why it accidently has me listed as the thread creator. No problem. Explains how how things jumped around. At least it's not souring the mlp thread for it's fans.

I learned about them by hearing a phone prank by Sal and Richard from the Howard Stern show, it was weird, he didn't presented them in a nice way, then I learn that only a small population of them are into the weird shit, kinda like the creepy wrestling fans that want to buy the wrestler's trunks, don't represent all of us.

I'll be shocked if this makes it pass 3 pages without being locked.
