Dok, things are worse than we even suspected

Truthfully, I kind of find broniness endearing.

Meeee toooooo.

They are cute! Also, bronies are at least sincere about something, which makes them anti-hipster and therefore good.

BTW that's Latin for "moving to be close with my man-horse".

Fuck. You're right.

Twid,
Change of plans. Moving to Procyon.

You need to keep an eye on those centaurs.  They raped Dolores Umbridge.

Dear Planet Earth,

I'm done. Thank you for indulging me.

Goodbye,

Twid,

No, seriously, explain to me why it's that utterly awful and somehow worse than all the other ridiculous things that humans do on this planet. In terms of cultural output, how is this worse than reality television?

I think the post-modern irony movement known as hipsterism is mostly dead. There are some hot spots here and there across the US, but New Sincerity is taking over.

Would this be a bad time to mention that Richter, as a gag, gave me a My Little Pony (pinkie pie) for my birthday, which made it out of the box and onto my Transformers display shelf? After which I contemplated finishing the set?

Twid's off to a wedding, but my guess is ... hyperbole?

Lies.  Bronies are objectively worse than Hitler.

HITLER.

Well, the stereotypical Ironic Hipster hasn't existed IRL since the 1990's, but the stereotype itself  rages on. The thing is, the new hipsters, in all their sincerity, are still hipsters, and there will always be hipsters. All of whom will categorically deny being hipsters, because they will be comparing themselves to a dead model of hipsterdom.

I've got $5 that says half the kids in PDX will be rocking My Little Pony accessories within 6 months.

I think I'm going to preempt them all by starting a crappy folk-rock band (with mandolins!) called "Pony Little" or something like that and within a year I'll be the new Decemberists.

[Don Coyote]

Broniism has been around for at least a year.............wouldn't they have picked up on it already?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

They have.

If by "kids" you mean "middle and high-schoolers".

I get the jump on these things, because my daughter's in eighth grade.

Also, I hear that "Friendship is magic" is HIGHLY addictive.
