The easiest way to say it is just to say it: There are grown men out there who devote themselves to the rainbow-unicorn-sparkly-pastel fantasy world of the childrens TV show My Little Pony. And, more appallingly, its not done ironically they are proud of it.

The name speaks for itself and it was the bane of Trek con art exhibits. You really don't want to know any more about it than that.
Oh, I have heard of this dreck before, I just wasn’t familiar with the acronym. Yeah, there are some sickies out there.
I miss doing illustrations, but I don't miss the con scene.
Hmmm, this poorly drawn cartoon is thoroughly lacking in cool cars or any kind of nifty machinery.
"Perverted?"
Watching a particular cartoon show means I'm "perverted?"
Wow. I hope I never wander onto whatever strange planet you happen to live on.
I like cats too. Does that say something about me?
Although I support hunters 100% (within the provision that it is within Divine law), I've never done it myself. It's just not my thing. Am I a traitor to maledom and "un-American?"
What do you like to watch . . . a bunch of street thug Obama-supporters butting heads on a football field? Insecure much?
I must also admit that I am one of those people who was perennially bullied in school. I have on occasion read the assertion that bullies are "normal" red-blooded American boys while their victims are crybaby socialist faggots who wind up leeching off the sweat of hard-working Americans while they spend their lives noshing on Doritos and voting for Obama. And gee whiz . . . I'm not a socialist, a faggot, or even like Doritos, and I've never voted for a single Democrat in my entire life! Excuse me, but I thought we were the side of the political spectrum that defended "useless eaters" from the death panels and regarded people as people, even if they are pre-born or have Down's syndrome. I had no idea that "true conservatives" were social Darwinists or into eugenics!
Nobody ever says, Im an auto mechanic. Live with it or get bent.
Nobody ever posts threads attacking auto mechanics on web sites like Free Republic, accusing them of being inherently liberal, un-American, or implying there is no place in the conservative movement for such people, even when the auto mechanics are Democrat union goons.
See what I mean???
You just called me a "pervert." And I'm deviant because I actually respond to your outrageous personal insult directed against someone you don't know from Adam? How dare I?
I do, however, thank you for sharing your worthless opinion with all of us. Now why don't you go back to pulling the wings off of houseflies or whatever it is "real men" like you do?
This is just creepy.
So YOU were the one who made this documentary!?!? LOL!
Wow.
You just pitched a perfect fit just like a little girl.
It is a shame you have no self esteem but don’t blame me or anyone else here.
Your overwhelming defensiveness and childlike angst filled response say more than your words ever could.
You just pitched a perfect fit just like a little girl.
As I said, you called me a deviant and a pervert. And you expected me not to react? Well pardon me all to hell.
It is a shame you have no self esteem but dont blame me or anyone else here.
My self-esteem or lack thereof has nothing to do with what television shows I choose to watch or not to watch. Neither does it dictate my politics.
Your overwhelming defensiveness and childlike angst filled response say more than your words ever could.
Of course. I'm supposed to sit by while you call me a pervert and other FReepers declare war on a television show they've never even seen in the name of conservatism.
You could have . . . oh, I don't know . . . done me the courtesy of not insulting me for no reason and I wouldn't have said anything. Try it some time.
It's an okay "documentary" until he starts saying that what is and is not "deviant" is purely subjective and depends on society.
bfl
No.
I'll post what I want to whom I want and no amount of your whining is going to stop me.
Try it some time.
No.
I'll post what I want to whom I want and no amount of your whining is going to stop me.
You'd better be the owner of this forum then.

I can certainly see that the world would be a better place with fewer bronies and more fine, upstanding, level-headed people like yourself. [/sarcasm]
You know why people are uncomfortable with this. Be honest.
Certainly comedians like Greg Gutfeld or Joel McHale who claim to be interested in unicorns or Rainbow Brite or My Little Pony are just doing it for laughs.
Well, mostly for laughs.
I'm getting so tired of this.
Did you even see my initial post in which I said that homosexuality is a capital offense? Did you?
Did you see the part where I said there is no homosexuality or politics of any kind in the show? It's just a clever cartoon for little kids and their parents to enjoy together on different levels, like Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Do you actually expect me to believe that there are people out there who really do assume than any non-traditional fan of this show simply must be homosexual? What about the Fundamentalist chrstian bronies I met a couple weeks ago? What about the servicemen who watch it? What about the headbangers?
I did not begin this thread. I responded because some FReeprs were taking it upon themselves to turn opposition to this perfectly harmless show into the next big "conservative" crusade. Why? It's not porn. It's not MSNBC. No one is forcing you to watch it. How dare anyone declare it ideologically "off limits" to watch a perfectly harmless cartoon?
Further news: some of us out here are "geeks." Lots of people are "geeks." There is nothing wrong or shameful in being a "geek" so long as one accepts G-d and His Laws. There's no rule book that says all "geeks" must be liberal and all conservatives must be jocks or bullies.
It's just a show, people. It's not your enemy. Why don't you get back to attacking the stuff out there that actually is liberal and is your enemy?
If you're going to "hate" this show and its fan base, at least have the decency to make it non-ideological hatred. Because it's just a show with no ideology and its fans are united by nothing whatsoever than love of the show.
I can't believe semi-pornographic anime is considered appropriate for conservatives but an intelligent kids' cartoon isn't!
Okay. There's nothing more I can add to what I've already said. I'm through here.
I wasn’t thinking of homosexuality. And I’ve read your posts on this subject. I think you are not being completely honest. Either that, or you have blinded yourself to the reason why others are uncomfortable with this.
Having said that, I’ve nothing to add because I don’t believe discussing it further with you will be productive.
For some Reason, I knew deep down inside that this thread would bring out Passions and I was right, Well You've done it again Ponies, you have assimilated the premier Conservative Website on the Internet and breitbart.com into a discussion board on the merits of the Show, they must be doing something right.
“like Rocky and Bullwinkle.”
I’m glad you didn’t mention Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo, being about homosexual pedophilia and all. /s
In college it was “Scooby Doo” for me. I enjoyed watching Sponge Bob Square Pants With my kids. One of them told me it is going off the air. :(
Later tonight I guess I’ll have to watch a MLP episode just to see what the fuss is about.
