Big time.
BTW: I’ve never been in the service and even I know that that is a disgrace to the uniform.
I thought soldiers were supposed to be tough.
I looked this ‘Brony’ thing up and it’s gay.
It’s all about ‘tolerance’ and we all know what that means.
Me - 44, straight male, Freeper since 1998. I started watching My Little Pony last march to see what all the fuss was about and quickly got sucked in. The current 4th generation of the show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is actually an amazingly good show with great writing and animation and thus the huge fanbase. If you haven't seen it you know nothing about it. It is not the awful '80s version. As for the whole "gay" thing this Brony Study found that less than 2% of respondents considered themselves homosexual.

After pausing for a moment, he said something he really shouldn’t have, and soon regretted.
Well, did she?

My room mate would record The Transformers and GI Joe. Everyday, after work, a bunch of us Airmen would eat at the chow hall and then go to my room to watch the shows. To be honest, we mostly made fun of GI Joe.
About eight of us went to the theater to see The Transformers Movie when it was first released. Several of us (not me) had transformers toys.
That said, this who “Little Pony” thing creeps me out.
You go call one a sissy, then...
Which Little Pony is red again?
};^P>
No, she didn’t. That being said, the BN CO did not get a whole lot of sleep that night from being screamed at, and the next morning, much the worse for wear and tear, paid a visit to every company in the BN, who were standing in formation waiting for him, each in turn.
He was “vexed”.

It does seem creepy because guys aren’t supposed to like My Little Pony. It’s supposed to be a stupid cartoon for selling toys to little girls. The creators of MLP: FIM wanted the show to appeal to the parents as well as the kids. They never expected hordes of young men to become fans of it. I grew up watching Bugs Bunny and after my son was born watched SpongeBob, Fairly Oddparents and Thomas the Tank Engine with him, but I never really got obsessed with a cartoon until MLP.
Why would I call one a sissy?
I just wouldn’t expect a soldier to put a rainbow patch on his uniform. That’s all.
I know the majority of them ARE tough.
Still, My Little Pony? Really???
I can’t imagine what the guys from WWII,Korea and Viet Nam would think.
Oy,vey.
My dad was a vet of all three. I can...
It does raise the question:
Shouldn’t that patch be on his butt?
It’s a new page,LOL
Wow! God bless him.
>>I’ve been reading Reddit a long time and I think “my little pony” refers to a pedophile’s penis. It’s how they entice young children to follow them.<<
Are you serious? Oh my God.
My Little Pony was first marketed in 1983, as - check this out - a pony. A little plastic pony. Sort of like a Breyer horse, but more cartoony and not as expensive.
It had NOTHING to do with pedophilia, any more than Disney princesses or Weebles or Fisher-Price people or Barbies, unless you think every child’s toy is a penis metaphor.
