Oh man ... what have I done??

Some ten years ago they used to show Sailor Moon on TV during the summer, i watched a whole bunch of that pretty much every day while eating breakfast. I don't think i would ever wath my little pony though, but you never know.

I've been liking stuff that's meant for boys all my life.

I imagine that's because in American culture, it's more acceptable for women to be like men than it is for men to be like women. Underlying sexist principles and such, so on and so forth.

I saw an episode of My Little Pony.... i felt awkward and uncomfortable, that is how a normal adult human male should react to it.

You have stared into the gaping maw of insanity and passed through it. You emerge from the other side alive, but not unharmed. The whispers of chaos still remain in your head, beckoning you forward with their false promises of redemption.

However, there is no savior for you now, you are lost to the world you once knew. Purge yourself of the darkness you have received to save the others.

I'll just leave this here.

^ This. Best justification and explanation. (Me being an MLP fan, of course.) <3

I think he means seculde yourself to a stone tower in Siberia. I have to concur. Or join an Ardat-Yakshi-like camp.

Oh no! We lost another one.

You can still be saved, OP. Go out and buy an Affliction t-shirt and a copy of Maxim right now.

MIGHT I RECOMMEND KORRA

I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS AS WELL.

Yeah, Korra is probably my favorite television show period right now, animated or not.

Eh, it's behind Young Justice for me.. but it's still pretty damn good and leagues above most other shows.

To be clear, you are not Boba Fett in this scenario. You're one of the clumsy guards with no backstory.

A worthy note indeed. Yes, he is the clumsy guard being drawn into an endless cavern of innocent joy.

My brother and I went through a phase when we were kids where we'd watch My Little pony secretly and wouldn't tell our friends. You've kind of made me want to watch it again. I have also watched and enjoyed Desperate House Wives. It's a pretty funny show. I also ended up watching most of Sex and the City this year with a couple of my house mates (one of them also being a guy); this included both movies. I must say I did enjoy most of it, eventually it does get a bit tedious though.

Excellent idea!

If you enjoy it thats ok, just dont be a lonely ass idiot who needs to be part of a community to feel complete... Like all bronies do. It´s just another cartoon. Nothing else.

....And another one added to my list.

I definitely see plastic wrap in your future.

You've done effed up, that's what you've done!

This.

I watch Grey's Anatomy with the wife, and watched the first few seasons of Desperate Housewives. It's corny and predictable, but there's enough to like that I stick with it anyway.

On a thread on these forums I saw an animated gif from the show and I laughed. Then I felt really dumb. To be fair, it had that Looney Tunes timing that I always laugh at. It was of a pony falling down a hole and grabbing another pony. But I still felt dumb.

...fucking show.

meh, sailor moon is at least made for girls that aren't, like, 6. Sailor Moon is actually pretty dark and shit

Of course i say this as a person who is currently watching all of Sailor Moon because I literally have nothing else to do so yeah, but they totes kill off all of the other sailor soldiers in the second to last episode of the first series.

Tuxedo Mask samaaaaaa

Pinkie to drum and bass is awesome. The entire show is awesome.

Go right ahead and keep watching. I don't believe in gendering TV shows and movies and stuff like that- anyone has the right to enjoy anything.

My brother thinks MLP is alright (I can't tell whether he thinks it's annoying, but every so often actually finds a joke funny, or secretly loves it and is embarrassed to admit it), and my dad found Sex and The City enjoyable. But I suspect my dad thinks both S&TC is actually a parody of the genre...

Closest thing I got is the Buffy the vampire slayer series and btw how stoned were you when watching said show? lol

I just try watching the first show. It was fine. I would have liked it more as a kid I think. It's got good timing and it looks nice. But I lost interest half-way through. Plus...I...I just can't.

@BonOrbitz said:

Okay, I've never seen an episode of My Little Pony Bronies. Could someone please explain to me what they hell is going on with that show and why everyone has a hard on for it?

Yeah, what is the appeal? Is it similar to something like Adventure Time? I always thought that show would have had the superior internet cult following since the humor is fairly in-line with the free-flowing insanity of the internet and it's jokes.

Maybe the exact reason that MLP's never appealed to me is that it lacks that absurdist style.

Threads like these always make me wonder if there are little girls out there who are acting the same way.

"Oh my gosh, you're a gamer? That is the worst possible thing. That's for old men!"

And guess what, there isn't. :|

I do. It's absolutely incredible and follows on from Avatar amazingly well, without feeling at all like cloying fan-service.

Decided to see a Little Pony episode ... Im loving it and laughing and ... D: am I becoming a brony??? Help me duders . I put the blame on Celestia and Luna ... they are so cool looking , so on the same theme have you duders ever fell for a program aimed at gals/dudettes before? I´ll be honest I have too fallen for Sailor Moon (I saw the entire episodes , uncut and uncensored ) , Magic Knight Rayearth , and for Utena (well the movie at least) and for some manga from the Clamp girls , but for tv programs never , which makes me ask you , which ones would be consired dudettes tv programs? sex in the City , desperate House wives or what? (Never liked those tho) Come on dudes its time to confess :3

There's no hope for him. He's infected with the furry virus. Just take him out behind the barn and put him down before it spreads to anyone else.

There's already extensive threads in which to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

i tried watching that show, i watched the first 3 episodes and it was horrible. its just a basic kids show with a couple of 'adult' jokes here and there.. i really think this is just a trend sheep are taking part in that will go away within a few months.

You like what you like mang, I felt that way about Naruto at first as I thought it was some sort of kids show but upon watching it I was drawn in and realized that it wasn't a kid show, I also like Sailor Moon but didn't like the bits when the original 5 were joined by the remaining, didn't care for the rest. I refuse to watch MLP though, I don't need anything else taking hard drive space away from my porn.

There's nothing wrong with watching it; the reboot is a legitimately good cartoon. It's full of great humor and subtle throwbacks that only adults would get, something that classic cartoons used to be full of. I find it to be more immature than anything to deny yourself of enjoyment due to pre-concieved notions that society has dictated on gender or age roles.

Plus, in one of the episodes there is a scene where a piano falls one of the characters. Think about that. When was the last time that happened in a children's cartoon?

@Draxyle: Family Guy, a grand piano fell on Peter Griffin. :) But I guess FG isn't a children's cartoon though. :(

I remember enjoying Powerpuff Girls when I was a kid, it had very clever writing and despite the name really appealed to both genders. If it's made by the same people I doubt there's anything wrong with enjoying it. Bronies just make it look bad, like Trekkies make star trek look bad. I spent my whole life avoiding star trek because I thought it looked stupid. Now I'm really enjoying the original series, it is still kinda stupid but in a great way!

Yes you're becoming a brony, quickly you must kill yourself because of the shame.

Pretty much the same story with me. I never bothered with Star Trek during my childhood due to the social stigma involved. But just a couple years ago I finally got involved in The Next Generation and I love the heck out of it. Opened up a whole new world to me.

And yea, MLP is made by the Power Puff Girls' creator. Same basic style and everything, it's just tied to an established franchise this time. The brony fandom is indeed a little crazy, but it's all ancillary to the show at hand.

I watched a few episodes myself. It's a very addictive and charming show. I kinda stopped at Episode.15 and never thought about it again. I'm not a TV person, after all.

@dudeglove said:

The amount of effort people put in to defending their habit of watching this show would make a gay pride organizer blush.

Good point good sir

The last western cartoon that I ever really enjoyed was Megas XLR. What a crazy and amazing show. Loved the fact that it had multiple jokes based in gaming. I still loved the episode where they go to a Halo ring, or hey how about that Sailor Moon episode.

Long live Coop, Jamie and Kiva!!!

There is also a disturbing amount of people obsessed with people watching some show. I definitely get why one wouldn't like the show since it isn't for everyone but I have never figured out hating someone for liking/disliking something.

If you like the show its fine. I mean there is nothing wrong with liking a cartoon. Now If you start wearing t-shirts and looking at fan art, then we have problem.

@Aetheldod:DHW all the way :P

Remember to put on the sparkles before you leave the house.
