Fox News mentions terrorism in a discussion about bronies. - General

[QUOTE=Sorin;30662021]So far, the only people I know who watch it are either autistic, house urchin virgins, or incredibly socially awkward. I've not encountered a single normal man who watches this shit.[/QUOTE] Hurtful

[QUOTE=TH89;30661758]It's a cartoon. Have you never watched cartoons before?[/QUOTE] Yes I've watched cartoons before. Good cartoons, you know, like Ed Edd n' Eddy, Dexter? Shit like this who's target fanbase is 7 year old girls makes no sense for grown men to be watching.

If you like MLP you are either: A) A homosexual B) Have a vagina C) Have no life The list goes on and on and on and on... [sp]boxes await[/sp]

Can I also put out that I'm indifferent about the whole thing, the show isn't bad but it's the cult following that's the problem.

idk maybe it's because I don't go to 4chan but the people I've seen who hate it seem a lot more fanatical than most of the people who like it. it's just a cartoon yall. it's not that serious.

Wasn't Red Eye satirical? Well fuck it, MLP still licks my chode. Hohoho, i bet i got a dumb beceause i disliked a show for girls and faggots.

A lot of people watch it because they enjoy it? I enjoy it. I don't wank to it, or write fan fics about it, and I am not a furry. Nor do I make my enjoyment of the show widely known. But you aren't exactly any better then what you say: In every topic about ponies you are here to bitch and whine about the fan base you clearly know nothing about.

[QUOTE=DONUT KING;30655201]I don't get it. I seriously dot fucking get it. What is so significant about this show? How is it good? What the fuck is with these people who watch this shit?[/QUOTE] There was a bunch of threads on this and apparently it's that same "I watch it for the plot" bullshit you hear over and over again.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;30683782]What is there to enjoy about this series?[/QUOTE] I find it funny and entertaining.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;30645810]I love you guys, you never change. You do the same shit for bronies as you do for furries, and as you do for everything you don't like. You accuse them of flaunting their shit in your face when the only thing pony-related being posted are avatars, and that shit isn't even technically posted. The pony community was one of the best here, the first damn rule at the start of the thread : NO PORN, the second: NO MY LITTLE PONY OUTSIDE OF THIS THREAD. Fucking ignorant jackasses.[/QUOTE] I appreciate them not posting about pony bullshit outside of the hellhole called the MLP thread, but whenever people call being a bronie a fetish, they flip out and tell everyone to deal with it. I'm not gonna deal with it because I don't like Facepunch being filled with people that love ponies.

What is wrong with being against people writing fanfictions and grown men picking "cutie marks" for each other?

"japanimation" wut.

Misleading title is misleading.

What is wrong with being against people writing fanfictions and grown men picking "cutie marks" for each other?[/QUOTE] I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to someone who thinks it's bad to watch things that are "for girls." Why are you defending yourself against a post that wasn't directed at you? Little over-defensive?

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;30684968]WE ARE NOT INSECURE WITH OUR MASCULINITY CUT THAT BULLSHIT ARGUMENT ALREADY[/QUOTE] Bronies are however.

Keep in mind that there exists creepy fandoms for pretty much every fictional out there, a notable example is the webcomic Homestuck, that a good portion of FP like. It would therefore be hypocritical to hate the entire fanbase of MLP. I still don't understand why a grown man would watch a show aimed at little girls, but people can like whatever the fuck they want as long as they don't shove it down my throat.

Indeed. Why would any grown men watch a show who's target audience is 5 year old girls.

I do, however have a problem with people acting like they are so much manlier and better than people just because they are willing to watch a show that is aimed at young girls.

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;30689121]I do, however have a problem with people acting like they are so much manlier and better than people just because they are willing to watch a show that is aimed at young girls.[/QUOTE] Why else would someone freak out about it? Let's not forget [url=http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-big-questions/201106/homophobic-men-most-aroused-gay-male-porn]this study[/url]. People who get really aggressive over something that doesn't really affect them are probably doing it out of insecurity.

MLP fans to me are one of the stupidest type of people on facepunch/steam imo

Seriously, just because some shitty animator rebooted a series for [b]little girls[/b] grown men act like it's totally straight to watch it. Admit it, it's extremely gay.

That was alarmingly laid back and nice to watch for Fox News. If only they could be slightly more like this when concerned with issues that actually matter. [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=zerothefallen;30689226]MLP fans to me are one of the stupidest type of people on facepunch/steam imo[/QUOTE] It's a retarded fandom, but they don't bother me ever since they moved their thread the fuck out of Film and Television so I'm not gonna go looking for a fight with them.

[QUOTE='[GRiM];30691974']Seriously, just because some shitty animator rebooted a series for [b]little girls[/b][/QUOTE] Why not do everyone a favor and drop the "little." Adventure Time and Ed Ed and Eddy and Spongebob and Dexter's Lab are all cartoons for [b]little boys[/b] and nobody on Facepunch gets any shit whatsoever for liking them. You're not mad because it's for little girls, you're mad because it's for girls, full stop. You think stuff for girls is bad and gay and basically there is nothing to this argument other than veiled misogyny so stop trying to pretend it's about age groups because it absolutely is not.

Where I come from boys don't sit around and watch shows about fucking ponies. Whatever floats your boat but there will always be the people actually coming out and saying that shit like this is gay and idiotic.
