My Little Brony: Aspergers is Magic

[Targaryen]

Friendship is Magic is a good show, extremely good within its niche of pre-teen girl cartoons. I like that it's a kids cartoon that doesn't insult the intelligence of adult audiences to watch, but doesn't achive that via constantly winking over the core audiences heads with clever-clever adult references. Also it probably has a more diverse and centred group of female characters than many adult shows.. which is real depressing.

So I like the show and use to call myself a brony. But want nothing to do with that label now. My main beef is that they've taken over and made the show unsafe for its target audience. A kid can't google this stuff online without coming across clopper-porn and "Princess Molestia" etc..

I know a couple of bronies (and one whateverthefemaleequivalentcouldbecalled). One of them tried to convince me to start watching it when we were recommending stuff to watch or read so I went "eh, why not?" and started watching FiM. Not going to say it's the worst show ever or something since it was actually better then what I was expecting but there's tons of better shows I'd rather watch. Most of the bronies I know have moved on from it and thankfully next to none of them were cloppers or whatever they're called or lolcows.

There was one that was a lolcow though. He normally came into school with MLP shirts, clearly worn out jackets, occasionally a fedora, etc. which along with how he looked made him look like a neckbeard in training which he might have been. Normally he'd try to get into arguments with teachers if they made mistakes and was very narcissistic to absurd Tony Stark like levels especially regarding his "intelligence". If anyone tried talking to him, he'd bring up MLP and wasn't too subtle with his "interests" in the show. Never saw him in a while since he dropped out of school because, and I'm quoting him, he "was too smart for the school". No idea how that makes any sense but whatever.

WOAH shit, I don't think I'm gonna joke about bronies anymore guiz, I'm scared.
Seriously, yeah U.S soldiers will be willing to kill anyone for not liking their favorite cartoon, what planet does this guy live on? because it certainly isn't Earth.

This thread had to of come sooner or later due to how some bronies act. I honestly don't give much of a single care about bronies since I see them as any other fanbase: one that has its normal fans and its crazy fans. So far, I've met two bronies(the first brony is a high-functioning autistic) and two pegasisters(Don't know if one of the pegasisters is really a fan though she does seem to like Rainbow Dash) and they have shown themselves to the good kind of fan that doesn't spam "I'M A BRONY!! LOVE AND TOLERATE ME AND MY FETISH FOR TECHNICOLORED HORSIES!!!". That said, I honestly do find some of the fan-stuff to be messed up for obvious reasons of course. I watched the show a few times and I liked one of the episodes enough to save it on my hard-drive though thats for reasons of a stallion who loves jelly. In short, I find MLP:FiM to be good in its own merits and I just see the fandom as though it's like any other fandom. Regarding bronies, I can't help but feel I might be something of a brony since I do look at fan-stuff that is good and I wrote a fic or two, though to be honest with the one of fic's, I wrote one just to try and get my mind off Ultima 9. *a game that genuinely made me angry.*

Then what they do is they "ponify" something. I remember this poser who had an avatar on youtube that was the motorcycle from the Painkiller album cover, the penultimate Metal Album from the penultimate metal band, Judas Priest. On the motorcycle was a pink horse.

There is nothing remotely masculine about a show aimed at six year old girls. Stop corrupting our music in order to make yourselves seem badass and threatening. It's all just a farce and you know it.

Wanna know something regarding the whole ponify thing? Here's a comment left by a couple of bronies on a ponify "dis gon b gud" meme:
"As a brony, I have to wonder why the fuck everything needs to be ponified. It’s not clever or original, it’s forced."
"As a brony myself, It pisses me off to see everything get ponified"
I'm pretty sure there are some bronies that despise the ponified stuff as much as anyone else.
Here's the link if you want to see the questions along with all the other ones that call out bronies on the ponify meme.http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/295561-dis-gon-b-gud
*Edit: While I don't care about bronies like any other fandom, I do find somethings about them to be creepy and/or disturbing.

If they were smart, Toys R us would sell Cheetos and fedoras, near the Pony aisle.

Yeah, that would allow Toys R Us to get more money off any bronies who want to buy some ponies.

So I like the show and use to call myself a brony. But want nothing to do with that label now. My main beef is that they've taken over and made the show unsafe for its target audience. A kid can't google this stuff online without coming across clopper-porn and "Princess Molestia" etc..

^ This right here is why I feel some bronies are against the adult fan-stuff that other bronies try to defend. Seriously, you have this clop stuff being defended by guys who say "love and tolerate.". Okay, some guys get off seeing a clop picture of the pony, I have no beef with that if that pony is humanized or very close(i.e. they keep wings, color of fur etc.) but when its really 100% horse, there is something that is wrong with that. Adding what you said regarding google, that is one other reason to be against clopper-porn, because this is a kid's show and you have people applying that internet rule(is it 34? can't remember) to it. That said, here is a video a buddy of mine showed me, the reactions of some non-bronies looking at what turns on some bronies:

behold, what made me leave the brony fanbase, that and getting banned from the MLP dorums for using the word Autism in " a negative light"

apparently this is based on a Kickstarter that wanted to make an island for Bronies to retreat to called The Island of Equestria.

I remember seeing that Pony Island video in the crazy brony thread a while back. That said, here is something a buddy of mine stumbled upon related to some creepy bronies: http://pppproject.deviantart.com/

Here's a brony thread discussing it: http://broni.es/thread-12787.html
Even they find it to be messed up, though some wonder if it's actually a joke

Some insight on the thing

I remember that kickstarter, part of me wanted it to happen so I could have an entire island of LOLcows.

THIS IS TRUE AND HONEST CONTENT

I work at an after school church/Sunday service youth group for kids ages 5-13. We get a lot of volunteers who want to get hired full time because they think it's the easiest job in the world to watch kids while they sit around and play video games. It's not, but that's not the point I'm getting at.

We had this newer volunteer who was neckbearded and wore a fedora, this is a church though, so we can't kick people out based on their looks, although I knew this guy was trouble the minute he applied to be a volunteer.

We have coloring books and toys for the kids. Some of the coloring books are MLP themed. You know. For little girls. So Neckbeard (they told me not to say his name because they're nice people) decided to start coloring MLP books instead of watching the kids. I told him he couldn't do that and he said he was on a break. I said there really aren't any breaks for volunteers and he sort of growled and kept coloring. I'm not in a position to discipline any of the volunteers as I was just recently hired from being one myself, so I just decided to wait until one of the pastors noticed and told him off.

Then a little girl (again, not saying her name) wanted to color that book. It was her favorite. She was six years old and she was getting that coloring book. She asked nicely and this is what happened.

Neckbeard refused to give her the coloring book. The six year old girl told him that he wasn't being nice (he wasn't being very nice at all) and he said that's a lesson she needs to learn about life. Strike one. The girl says pretty please and starts to pout a bit, and he starts to yell at her, saying he's a volunteer and she has to do what he says. Strike two. She says that he's a boy and he shouldn't even be playing with My Little Ponies. He told her "Blow me". In a church. On a Sunday. To a six year old girl. Strike three.
It should come as no surprise that I'm not allowed to swear in front of children, no less in a church and on Sunday. so I just closed my mouth as tight as I could, stole the book from him, gave it to the girl and told her to color somewhere else. I grabbed him and pulled him into one of the pastor's offices (he wasn't very strong) and told him what happened. The pastor was visibly upset. She tore him a new one. He said that he was tired of being persecuted and that all Christians were like this. I told him that I'm starting to think all Bronies were like him, Pastor was like "What?" and I was like, "look it up at home with safe search or something on." Neckbeard tries to explain what a Brony is and we just tell him to leave. Multiple times. After threatening to call the cops, he leaves.

I had to tell a little girl to never ever use the term "blow me" and to ask her parents about it if she was curious about what it meant. I'm starting to think we may have one less kid coming to the program.

Oh yeah, also this:

The great Purging of Equestria has begun.

To read what happened to that neckbeard is awesome. I honestly can't believe he told the little girl "blow me" at church. Good thing he got kicked out though.

 

[random_pickle]

There are two reasons why I hate this fandom with a passion:

1.) I've seen a lot of Bronies add MLP shit into things that had nothing to do with it. For example, they'll say "anypony" rather than anybody and if they are called out for anything they spew "love and tolerance everyone"! The whole ponyfication thing also ranks up here too.

2.) The porn. Let me rephrase that actually, it's not the porn itself, it's where it's located. I understand the fact that the call of rule 34 is a hard one to ignore, but for fuck's sake, leave it on sites that it belongs too! Put it up on websites that are designed for it like a hentai gallery. But no, they deem it necessary to upload their drawn image of Rainbowdash having hot kinky bondage sex with Rarity on sites like Deviantart. You know, where children are rampant! The worst part is that I've seen this pictures without a mature content filter on, meaning anyone can see it. Imagine a kid searching DA for fanart of their favorite pony only to be scarred with this shit. Don't even start with me on their whole "underage pony clop is allowed because they're just ponies and not humans" bullshit.

 

[Bugaboo]

Yeah doing porn of a children's show is just creepy and wrong. It shouldn't be loved or tolerated at all because it's for little kids.

Planet Pony Fucker. Where all the Bronies TALK about love and tolerance, but don't actually practice it.

Deviantart

Not defending them, but kids aren't allowed on deviantArt. You have to be 13 to open an account and they will ban anybody they find out is not 13. Not saying that kids don't lie about their age all the time and get away with it, but anybody 12 and under definitely isn't allowed.

 

[c-no]

Don't even start with me on their whole "underage pony clop is allowed because they're just ponies and not humans" bullshit.

Underage pony clop would make me ask a brony this :" What is wrong with you?"
Granted it's pony but what really makes me ask that is that it's an underaged pony. Now I wonder if that's still on the same level as disgusting or even worse since it's basically an underaged character, a pony but underaged nonetheless.

 

[A Random]

The problem is that the characters are kids in the skin of horses. That accounts for behavior and attitude and what not.

Behavior is what clinches it. Like, the artstyle of this show doesn't make me see ANY of the main characters as actual grown-ups because they're so cutesy and soft-looking and small-ish (but then again I don't watch the show, I only know it from the internet), but since they don't behave like children I'll ignore any pedophilia tags because it's pointless. The characters they intended work regardless of the design.

The ones who do behave like kids, though? It's pedophilia whether they were horses or people. That's my view, anyway.

The main ponies in the show are supposed to be young adults because they live on their own and have jobs and things. But there are kid ponies who I'm 100% sure have porn of them. And that's terrible.
