Why the internet hates ponies?

[Dug]

How embarrassing.

Not as embarassing as your out of touch and delusional statement equating furries and bronies to LGBTQ and Minority races. I know you really, REALLY wish you can call black people the N word but this isn't the thread for that. Scurry along now

Well someone's feathers got tussled.

Disney and Pixar are different really.

To claim this for MLP is just silly.

How is it different to like Disney/Pixar? :P

One is targeted at families (As in contains references and comedy only an adult would understand, while being appropriate for kids), the other is targeted at pre-teen girls.

Quality beyond age ponies do not have.

There are MANY references like that in MLP though

Well, we all have our own opinions?

During the height of their popularity, I found bronies to be quite pushy about MLP. They'd shove it everywhere possible. No wonder even 4chan was sick of their shit and put them in an echo chamber so everyone else wouldn't have to be annoyed.

Did you hop on the train and like it for the social interaction with other fans or because you think it's quality storytelling in an
episode slice of life series in a fantasy world without any connection to reality or overarching plot?

I really don't know WHY I like it, but I do. It's a mixture of both those things :P (but clearly not the "brony" fans...)

Hardly. But good to know you post with the sole intention of offending.

i certainly don't hate ponies/bronies, i've watched some MLP myself and enjoyed it. not amazingly great and worthy to devote my life to its praise by any means, but entertaining enough.

but what i personally can't stand is people who are supposedly very devoted to the show and/or the brony community, yet seem to behave in ways that definitely do not match the values promoted by said show/community at all: like pretty much every show that's mainly targeted at children, MLP is all about kindness, tolerance, generosity, forgiveness, and so on. and the phrase "we'll love and tolerate the shit out of you!" is so often used by that community for a reason.
so when someone with a pony avatar/signature constantly acts in an intolerant, close-minded, selfish, arrogant, insulting or straight up hateful manner (regardless of context) it really rubs me the wrong way :[

and as it tends to be the case with large/broad communities, these (likely very few) bad apples are often the ones that stand out most to any outside observer.

so they are hobbits?

Kinda yeah!

iirc, ponies are actually used in lotr as hobbit-horses as it were, at least in the books :D

They are seriously mentally unstable and if you can't see anything wrong with a grown adult pretending to talk and be in an actual relationship with a stuffed My Little Pony doll then maybe there is something wrong with you.

i'm pretty sure the vast majority of people who identify themselves as brony are not crazy enough to fit that kind of definition :P

As for furries, they are the same thing. Grown adults dressing up as cute little animals with a fetish of animal porn.

why do you care about what grown adults do to get off?

Really we've seen this phenomena with other child-oriented media before when the production quality is abnormally high. Disney and Pixar routinely release movies that are primarily targeted at kids, but whose actual demographics reach across all age groups, yet other children's cartoon content doesn't have the same reach: MLP being the only TV series to transcend that divide.

that's a nice comparison. and like those movies you mentioned, MLP (at least from the 2nd season onwards) also includes some elements that are clearly targeted at that adult audience, like character references and jokes that no child would get.

Personally I think people just love to find strange things to hate and cast out

whaaaat? nah, people would never do that!

One is targeted at families (As in contains references and comedy only an adult would understand, while being appropriate for kids), the other is targeted at pre-teen girls.

MLP does contain references that are clearly targeted at adult viewers (although probably not in the same quantity and frequency as pixar/disney movies).

Why internet hates anything? Because internet. Seriously. Kids trying to be cool. It's not cool to like things unironically these days.

You've obviously never sampled Rick and Morty, peasant.

Have you ever looked into a horses eyes? There is nothing there. They are pure evil incarnate

Acually thats true for Charles Manson seen him beeing taken by the cops photo? Its evil in his eyes.

[Pony Soldier]

doesn't change the fact that his argument is hilariously ironic now does it?

your entire first paragraph consists of assumptions generalizations,stereotypes and pure bullshit.
your second paragraph is mostly just ranting.
i would like to know where you get these bullshit assertions from.

Dude, the evidence is all over the internet. I've seen plenty of videos of them. If you really want I'll post a video showing how creepy bronies are.

Here you go a perfect example:



And that's just one of many. Granted, they may not all be like this but they're out there. Then you wonder why so many people make fun of bronies and are so creeped out by them.

I don't, I really don't, I'm simply answering the OPs question. I don't care if you're MLP lunatic or like to dress up as a dumb animal but the question was what is the internet's problem with ponies and I answered.

[IcyScales]

Here you go a perfect example:

that shit is cringy on purpose.. right?

[Pendulous]

These threads always end in mocking or stereotyping people, which is not conducive to a constructive discussion. This one has gone too long as it is.
