@Droid you have mix feelings bout a drag queen thats overhyped in a clear nuns outfit.HULK feels sorry for you
*HULK SMASHES YOUR BRAIN*
now you wont feel bad about being a closet gay.you make HULK sad theres nothing wrong with like those of the S/S.

[Rockworm503]

There is something fundamantily wrong with your brain if you think a guy walking almost naked as a pony is no worse than someone dressed as Darth Vader. For one Darth Vader doesn't look half naked when he's doing his thing. I'd see your point if someone was wearing nothing but the Vader mask but thats just silly. No double standards. Most of it does look silly but not most of it looks disturbing.

No, her penis doesn't interest me. I simply don't hate the see-thru rubber nun outfit.

A con has nothing to do with who the show is targeted at? So, it didn't have the actual creators and voice actors involved? Those people I just mentioned weren't meeting bronies, talking with bronies, offering products to bronies, showcasing MLP related videos to bronies?

A con has EVERYTHING to do with who the show is targeted at. There's even a brony-made pony in the show.

You're the one who isn't making a point. Have you actually watched more than 1 episode of the show? I'll be damned if little kids can even understand half of it. It's directed at bronies, because that's where the money is.

Again, it's not that hard to understand.

Yeah a con has nothing to do with who the show is targeted at. The con however can be targeted at anyone it wants to target.

A brony-made pony in the show is kind of cool, still has nothing to do with who the show aims itself at.

Your are talking to a guy who watched the show before you even knew about it. And yes kids will understand the show, I have a niece(age 6) and a nephew(age 4) who understand it just well, maybe my niece a bit more since she is a bit older.

So playing nice with your fans isn't a way to attract more fans, get repeated business with said fans, get new fans, etc?
Catering to the main group of fans isn't infuencing who the show is made for?

It's a form of fan service. So yes, it is. And not the weird, perverted kind.

Obviously they understand the basics of the show, that's not the point.

Catering to the brony fans is fine and all but it still has nothing to do with who the show is made is for. 

The fact that kids the age of my niece understand MLP just fine, shows who the show is made for.

The fact that MLP is made for kids, shows who the show is made for.

Look it's safe to say at this point that One Piece is the most popular manga in all of Japan, but it's made for boys ages 8 to 14 and yet everyone loves it, men and women up to their 40s and over even. Does that change who the series is targeted at? Nope still made for boys 8-14 just like how MLP is made for little kids, does that mean it's bad for older viewers to watch it? Again nope.

So yeah I don't see your point at all and this is a silly debate.:happy:

You're the guy who makes those Hulk polls where you call Thor a pansy right? Those polls are great.

I watched the first two episodes and I can kind of see the appeal. Not for me, but I understand how an adult could enjoy it.

The fanbase and its work is pretty amusing anyway so I don't see the problem. Stereotyping and hating on bronies, however, stopped being funny a long time ago. It's got its creepy fans but so does every fandom.

The first two episodes are different from how the rest of the show is.

And they're all equally hilarious. This one however has an added creep factor that Star Wars is free from.

Is it bad that I read the first word in the title as "penises"?

Obviously. I don't expect it got to saving the world again at least until the season finale. These shows always fall into the traditional episodic groove with a moral lesson at the end. But it should have given an accurate impression of the animation, writing, and characters.

Yeah, a lot of the one-shot episodes are good, still it's not a show for everyone(as you can see by this thread) but I am an animation nut.

[TheClonesLegacy]

I`d say watch the show,
Personally it's not my thing but I have watched some of it,
it's not Awful, I just find it Mediocre,
So just watch the show and make your own opinions on it, I'm sure you can find it all on Youtube.
Also Some of the Fan Fiction is REALLY F**ked up, Avoid them like the Plague!

OP: It's not that hard to understand: It's a thing. The whole appeal is that it's silly and doesn't make sense.

How so?

[CmndrFisher]

Ok,as the OP I did not mean for this thread to become a P/Brony vs non P/Brony discussion so please keep the hate and defensive postures (on both sides) outside.

I get the argument that it's something that appeals to a certain segment and the whole phenomenon has it's defenders and detractors alike.  I do not follow either side, just trying to understand the mindset of the Brony/Pony fandom.

I chose not to ask this question in the MLP thread because I wanted to hear from everyone, not just one side.

Oh, and one other thing.  Please keep the sexual comments and nastiness out of the discussion before this thread gets ninja'd by Mr. Stanley.


Thanks to all who are posting meaningful responses.

I can't explain why it's become so pervasive, but the short answer to why it's successful is because it's good. The writing is witty, the humor is sharp and whimsical, some of it gets too cutetsy for my taste, but then they throw in stuff that only an adult male will laugh at, namely an adult male nerd - references to video games, the Matrix, Star Trek, classic film, etc. And they do it well. This is aside from the quality animation and excellent voice acting.

NEVER ask a teenage girl for advice or insight.

We can't either. We woke up one morning to see that it had been stickied without any warning at all. 

We never asked for this.

There needs to be a new Jem cartoon.
