I think you have to be a man to be a brony?
Im going to be horrified when i get home and click those links arent i?
How do I find out if I'm a Brony? Do I have to watch an episode?
I think we should sort out the bronies and the fauxnies.

According to Shoe Ears and friends, watch three episodes and then you will be hooked and therefore a brony.

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?

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.
Broniism has been around for at least a year.............wouldn't they have picked up on it already?
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.
I just checked to see if Bill Clinton has grandchildren, because that would explain his My Little Pony knowledge.
He doesn't.
That would require somebody inseminating Chelsea Clinton, a thought so horrible that it might break Rule 34.
Really? I think she's cute.
Quote from: Nigel on October 02, 2011, 12:10:03 AM

But cute enough that you'll use advanced nanobiotechnology to grow testicles and a penis, then travel backwards in time to retroactively impregnate her
just so you can explain Bill Clinton's My Little Pony knowledge????
I thought not.
(http://www.wedding-resource.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hillary-and-chelsea-clinton.jpg)
She's not exactly horrific, but if you can look at her for five seconds without thinking of Hillary, you're better at mental compartmentalization than I am.

GIVE ME TIME!
Actually, I prefer to be able to believe that Bill Clinton watches "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" in his spare time.
Just doing my job and keeping this thread on-topic, ma'am.
Quote from: Nigel on October 01, 2011, 11:12:25 PM
Also, I hear that "Friendship is magic" is HIGHLY addictive.
It is. I wouldn't consider myself a fan, but I've watched some of the episodes (for SCIENCE) and have decided that it would be very easy for socially inept males in a society that otherwise oppresses emotional sensitivity to identify with the show and it's characters. I've heard comments of it's educational value for those who have trouble with making and keeping friendships, and that it is used for stress relief. In that sense, it is similar to the Japanese animation genre known as iyashikei, or 'healing', where slow moving plot and episodes mostly filled with character development are placed in a largely serene world (or at least one where drama is not dominant). Most series like this are aimed initially towards pre-teen and teenage girls but because of the above reasons end up bringing a wider audience. And I want to stress that there is nothing wrong with this; it's an expected gender convention subversion in our heavily sexist society.
... except that once you look beyond the "gender convention subversion", if it's really the same idea as this "iyashikei" we're looking at people that feed hyper sweet calm endearing TV programs about friendship (superstimuli?) into their brain because they need it as "healing" and stress relief from reality?
From that escapism aspect, suddenly Reality TV doesn't really seem all that much worse.
Still slightly worse, because Reality TV teaches values that are more toxic than MLP. At least now I understand why you choose to make that (initially odd) comparison earlier on.
I tried an episode, 'cause a couple friends of mine are into it, and it was horrible. Now that I've heard this "three-episode" thing, I'm...tempted to try it...
I think we should pick three episodes, all of us should watch them, then we should document what happens.
SCIENCE!

My prediction is that it would annoy the hell out of me.
I actually heard that episode of Wait, Wait Don't Tell me! with Clinton on it. He amazingly got every answer correct, and they supposedly chose that topic thinking to stump him.

This is just like what happened in Rome before the fucking Visigoths came rampaging across the fucking Alps and the only thing between them and Rome was Ammianus Marcellinus and 600 Roman soldiers dressed up like My Little Ponies. The rest is history, and a lot of pillaging. A thousand years of darkness, all over some stupid toy.
Mark my words, when the Chinese landing craft beach in Providence, RI, there will be only Richter to stop them. Everyone else will be too busy whacking off to magickl hosries. Fortunately, I happen to know that Richter has a variety of edged and bludgeoning weapons, and should be able to stop them at Federal Hill.

I would testify that I actually witnessed Richter actually purchase one of the cursed things, if I weren't planning to stand in front of him while he has a weapon in his hand tonight.
Besides, he gave it to Dimo, who you left off your list.

I doubt it. Like I said, it would probably annoy me. Unless I was high or something.
I've seen two episodes.
I'm not hooked, but my opinion of the show is generally positive at this point. One more episode, and my fate will be sealed. PONIES... FOREVER...

I don't know, I've often wondered this myself.
One theory I have seen is that it is essentially female Aspergers. That theory is stupid, though.

Semi-related question.
What's up with girls and ponies? Why the fascination? Why the desire to get a horse and learn how to ride them?
Girth.
I'd be on that list, but I don't know if I count.
I've loved horses ever since I was a kid, but my granddad first put me on a horse when I was three, so...
I like horses, but I've never been crazy over them like some girls.
I think my parents just assumed my sister would grow out of the horse thing.
She's 20 now. Works with them every day, and genuinely loves her job. :)
