"Well said. I've never seen the show or met any of these guys, but it sounds like people are lumping together all kinds of different things from child molesters to "plushophiles" and stamping them with the "brony" label, but in most fan communities deviant behavior isn't the norm"

Not deviant at all...perfectly healthy and normal.

Dressing up like Spiderman or Batman isn't normal either, but people who do aren't necessarily looking to have sex with superheroes or with children.

In things like this it's good to look for empirical evidence of what's going on, rather than just focus on one's own gut reaction.
