its meant for kids not fucking 18 year olds in high school and college
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;32386031]Are there really any bronies who say the show isn't blatantly for girls? Because I thought they all accepted that it was a long time ago.[/QUOTE]
Many I've seen use the argument that since there's 4 or 5 adult jokes over the course of the series it isn't.
The fandom for this show is fucking ridiculous. Sonic the hedgehog ridiculous.
But I do agree with that picture posted a while back: majority of the fans aren't very outspoken and don't do any of the crazy shit. You hear about the bad part more because they never shut up.

Well, it can be argued that it was designed to somewhat appeal to the parents but I don't see how you can argue it isn't a girl's show
It's fucking my little pony
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];32386038']Not to do a personal attack or anything.
But you have a pokemon fetish.
And you're attacking people who enjoy watching a children's show.
When your title says in big red letters to ask you about your young-childrens'-show-character-sexual-fetish.[/QUOTE]
I don't watch the TV show
the show is terrible
and even then, the show (and games) are targeted for males and females ages ~8 to 16, which is closer to our age
it's hilarious when you people try to use pokemon against me because you are [i]always[/i] wrong

And Family Guy and Southpark are meant for adults, yet kids watch it. You're point?
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;32385985]yes it is true that cartoons intended for younger audiences often contain references and humor that only adults will pick up
but a normally functioning person doesn't go out of their way to watch 30 minutes of a young girl's cartoon [i]solely[/i] for the adult-humor and jokes that are seldom made
the community is not normally functioning people[/QUOTE]More or less I suppose. But that's mostly just generalizing things.

My little pony
not a girls show
you've got to be kidding me
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;32386031]Are there really any bronies who say the show isn't blatantly for girls? Because I thought they all accepted that it was a long time ago.[/QUOTE]Well, just because someone isn't int the target auditory doesn't mean they cannot like the show.

That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard.
It's like saying an action movie is actually a romance because two characters kiss in one scene.

...so you don't have a fetish for pokemon?
And what do you mean 'you people'?
[QUOTE=Ezhik;32386128]Well, just because someone isn't int the target auditory doesn't mean they cannot like the show.[/QUOTE]
Not saying they can't like the show, fans outside the target demographic are sometimes the biggest ect.

He's obviously not disputing that.
oh fuck off ibts ~!!!!!!!!!!

That's like if you argued E621 isn't a furry porn site because it occasionally has things that aren't porn or that are humans.
Which is an actual argument a moderator at E621 brought up to me.
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];32386133']...so you don't have a fetish for pokemon?

whether or not I have a fetish is irrelevant to any of this
and by 'you people', I mean any time on Facepunch when some chump thinks they're being witty by using [b]HUR DUR POKEMON FETISH[/b] against me
[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;32386047]Many I've seen use the argument that since there's 4 or 5 adult jokes over the course of the series it isn't.[/QUOTE]
Most of the time people don't even discuss about the adult jokes either. They talk about the episodes and the characters, nothing really wrong with that though.
What I hate more than anything of the fandom are the "Bronies" who say "OH YOU'RE JUST TO INSECURE TO LIKE THIS SHOW, REAL MEN WATCH MY LITTLE PONY".
Or maybe they just don't like the show because it's clearly aimed towards young girls, and that doesn't appeal to them.
Oh, and also just to make sure, in my last post, that isn't actually what I think of it. I personally think it's a completely illogical argument.

So are you or are you not trying to say that people enjoying a girls' children's cartoon because of the content are not normal while having a sexual fetish for characters of a children's show, aimed at young children, and produced by 4Kids Entertainment?
Because if we're talking character attacks of an entire community, I think that your own character should be up for dispute as well.
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];32385893']I may be wrong here, but I think you just said that it's not the show that people dislike, it's the community, and then went on to explain why you dislike the show.
But I'm not bothering to see what you're referring to, either. This is me honestly asking, not arguing.[/QUOTE]
Personally, I don't watch the show because its not my taste, but if people do like it, fine by me
just don't obsess about it, its stupid, its the people I hate, not the show itself.
MLP: FiM I will have to say is actually really good, but you have to atleast watch the first 4 episodes to have a real opinion.
[QUOTE=PvtVain;32386196]MLP: FiM I will have to say is actually really good, but you have to atleast watch the first 4 episodes to have a real opinion.[/QUOTE]
you can watch any amount of the show you want and have an opinion
there is not set amount of time you have to watch the show to form an opinion on it
I tried watching 1 episode and I got 5 minutes in before stopping.
[QUOTE=PvtVain;32386196]MLP: FiM I will have to say is actually really good, but you have to atleast watch the first 4 episodes to have a real opinion.[/QUOTE] While I do agree with your opinion on the show. No one should need to watch 4 episodes in order to decide whether or not they like the show.
although if I do have to pick something to hate about the fandom, it's the name
Brony is just an awful it's an awful fucking name
it just sounds wrong and disgusting somehow
I don't get why the fact that "some are going to like it, some are going to hate it" just can't be accepted.
Meant for children, females. I don't get why it gain popularity to adult males. It's kind of creepy, I mean if it was Spongebob or something it wouldn't bother me, but come on... Female cute little ponies aren't meant for grown up adult males. If anything it should be limited to females.
