Most fandoms are annoying but Bronies take it to the next level and have become a plague on the internet especially on YouTube where you will find scores of Bronies (easily identifiable by their pony avatars) commenting on videos often starting debates about the show (and often by referencing MLP). The major problem is when they "poniaze" characters from different shows/games and this has long since infected KnowYourMeme's site and its gallery for a while now.
As for grown adults watching the program? I don't find it disturbing but I do find it weird. I watched a few minutes of it once to see these supposedly well done plots and dialogue and for me, it was nothing different to something like Regular Show or Ben 10 (which also include veteran voice actors and pop references) asides from being clearly aimed at girls. I know there's also adults who watch Regular Show or Adventure Time but they haven't made a fandom out of it (and if they have then they have been very quiet about it unlike the Bronies who decided to make a religion out of theirs).
It has gotten to a scale point, but I can attribute that to the initial reactions, and defense mechanisms themselves.
The initial reactions of the fandom were that they must be scraped clean of the internet and burned, so they did what any group in the past would do, they grouped. They massed together away from that hate, and they at times can gain a mob mentality because of this.
But really, crossovers are nothing to complain about, and the varied amount of backgrounds attribute to that. It's not what we do, it's like a side hobby a quarter of the fandom does every now and then, and because of sheer size becomes this unsermountable mountain it is now.
Retour en haut
You mean they like ponies to make glue? So that eventually a girl may stick to them?
