"No offense intended, just straight curiosity"

What is your deal with my little ponies dude?

To the artist, good job on the ponies... I think. Made me smile.

There's this whole Brony thing going on all over the internet. It never caught on with me and I can't say I really understand why it is so popular. However, I am in no way knocking anyone who does enjoy it. I say we're all different and we can all like what makes us happy or brings us a little joy throughout the day.

So for the artwork, it is done very well and the artist obviously has some talent .

side note, please do not bump a thread a few hours after you post it, especially when you post something at 2am.

This brony thing has to die already...how this craze caught on I'll never understand. My little pony was a show my little sister watch when she was like 6...by the time she was 7-8 she already grew out of it. Now it's popular with teenaged boys and grown men? How did that happen lol! What's next? Gem?

I used to have to watch it once in a blue moon with my little sister...the show has about as much depth as an episode of He-Man or any other Saturday morning cartoon. The only difference is He-Man was obviously aimed at little boys, and My Little Pony at little girls. And yes, I've seen the new one...I have two girls (7 and 9) so I get to watch all sorts of cartoons. It's not much different than it was 20 years ago.

I used to hate sitting there watching it with my sister then, and it's pretty awful even today heh. Trust me, you're not missing anything

Anyways not a total cartoon grinch, my girls and I both enjoy watching Sponge Bob and re-runs of Ren and Stimpy.

*edit*

I wasn't sure if they still watched it TBH, just asked the 9 year old and she's already grown out of it, although the 7 years old still watches it.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again...I HATE PONIES!!

But Zid, those where good.

[Zidders]

First off-Sorry, Jm. Won't happen again. I blame Necrobots.

Secondly-Regarding all the pony hate, it's not like I didn't make it completely obvious what this thread was about. If you don't like the show, good for you, but last time I checked, noone held a gun to your head and made you look at this thread, did they? I mean really. Is it so hateful, so deplorable to know that there are people out there enjoying a cartoon? Is there something that makes Spongebob or Ren & Stimpy better than a show about ponies? I watched Ren & Stimpy when it was first on. Character development is non-existent. It's three stooges with a new coat of paint. About the only thing that made it groundbreaking was the fact that it was one of the first cartoons aimed at adult animation fans and not just kids. There was a lot of subversive stuff in there but it was still pretty tame compared to the stuff you find on Adult Swim.

I mean, let's look at the so called 'mature' cartoons we bronies 'should' be watching, at least according to most people I see ranting about bronies and about FiM. Family guy-ok, Peter spends entire episodes demeaning and insulting his wife, kids, dog and especially Meg. Brian wants to do Lois doggy style but never gets to. Good thing they gave him a girlfriend later in the show, we just couldn't leave the whole beastiality thing unresolved, could we? Stewie has gone from being suspiciously creepy gay to confirmed creepy gay stereotype. In fact, the two main gay characters on the show are a creepy preteen megalomaniac and an elderly pedophile.

Then there's Metalocalypse. Now, I love this show (and Family Guy) but the show is about as violent as it gets. Lots of gore and lots of really screwed up characters. Squidbillies...yeahhhhh.
And then there's all the anime, where really screwed up gender stereotypes rule the day and where most of the preteen girls are meant to appeal to older males and where most of the preteen boys are meant to appeal to older women. Yeah, don't even get me started on anime.I know there's a lot of good anime out there, but man, there sure is a lot of awful anime out there.

Meanwhile..ponies. Character flaws? Sure. Loads of them. You know, like real people have. Point of the whole show? Learning how to resolve conflicts that happen between friends and how to appreciate your friends despite their faults. That's it. It isn't about demeaning anyone for the sake of a joke. It isn't about shocking or being the most extreme whatever. It's about friendship-something I didn't have much of growing up and something I happen to cherish very much, because if it wasn't for my friends, I wouldn't be here. So yeah..I really like the show, and think that the animation and art is really good. I also happen to think a lot of the humor, art and music the fans come up with transcends the show and is worth sharing. Yeah, some bronies are obnoxious. Guess what? Some people, in general, are obnoxious. If it wasn't ponies, it would be something else.

So sue me for hoping maybe some of the folks on the forum might get a smile out of it. If ponies bug you, it's not anything i'm doing, you're the one letting yourself be bothered by it. As far as the comments here about it being 'for little kids'?

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
― C.S. Lewis

You're on a video game forum talking about a video game, one that happens to have an art style that has been described by the very people who make the game as 'The Incredibles meets Dragon Slayer'. Next time someone tells you 'video games are for kids' and you go to defend video games, come back to this thread and read your own comments here. Maybe then you'll learn to stop being so damn serious all the time and learn to relax and enjoy not being grown up some of the time, rather than trying to be grown up all the damn time.

[Wildman]

Whoa, Zidders, chill man. Not everybody was hating on your OP. I even said they were good, and that from me is rare (as far as ponies are concerned).

So just kick back and relax dude.

[Zidders]

Lol You're good, Wild. I never said people 'have' to like it. I just get a little frustrated with comments like "This brony thing has to die already...how this craze caught on I'll never understand. My little pony was a show my little sister watch when she was like 6...by the time she was 7-8 she already grew out of it. Now it's popular with teenaged boys and grown men? How did that happen lol! What's next? Gem?"

All I can say is that when it comes to art, artists can spend their entire adulthood attempting to recreate the art and innocence they had as a child.

Ah, I see the ponies of Equestria are quite eager for the release of Diablo 3.

Spoiler: show

I personally think, these two were the best ever I still catch it online from time to time (old series only) and laugh like I used to back then

On Topic: I've never seen a single episode of MLP. Also, I doubt it is even aired in my country. I grew up on CN (when it was actually CN) in 90s. I used to enjoy Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, Huckleberry Hound, Wally gator, Magilla Gorilla, Ricochet Rabbit, Quick Draw McGraw, Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and such. Now I think I've outgrown them pretty much. A few year back I was still into "South Park" and "Family Guy", tried a few others as well, but don't watch them much anymore. Though I'll have to admit, the people's obsession (let me call that please ) with MLP is something I've come to known very late and have not understood myself ever. The artwork looks fantastic though and recently I saw a MLP mod for Skyrim which was hilarious as well

Zidders, grows some thicker skin. In life you will find people will not like the same things you like. Anyways the matter at hand isn't that people like cartoons, it's that 35 year old men are obsessed with a show about magical ponies that are aimed at little girls. They are going to conventions, dressing up characters from other games/shows/whatever as ponies, and all sorts of other non-sense. I like watching Sponge Bob once in a while, but I'm not running around calling my self a bro-rnacle or dressing up in a sponge bob suit on the weekends

There's something strange about the 'brony' craze and it definitely goes further in the weird department than just a few guys enjoying watching a cartoon.

*edit*

I used to really enjoy watching Tom & Jerry as a kid!
