I was very hesitant in making this thread due to not wanting to offend any forum users here, but I decided most of us are old enough to chug through hateful comments and spread our own opinions on this topic. Before I begin, I completely disagree with the ignorant opinions of this 360 website, but I decided to talk to AF because I am a minor MLP fan and am disgusted by what people think of MLP fans. I am very open to various opinions and enjoy debates but a time comes when opinons become full of nonsense.
I was on 360a forum and a thread about MLP was created, stating any guys above the age of six who watch or enjoy MLP will grow up to be either murderers or trouble to society. Females who watch it above the age of ten will grow up to be normal, but anti social. Now usually opinions are okay to have, but facts are first needed to have an opinion. First off, were these ages formed? Randomly thrown together? I truly believe so. Next the content of the argument is totally stupid. Being a small fan of MLP I find myself normal.. maybe a fan of anime and I like the color pink, but very down to earth like most AF users. Since AF is full of bronies, I'd love to hear your opinions! Even though MLP is directed towards a younger audience, I actually feel its a quality show and just find the argument idiotic.
Opinions?

I don't like the show but I don't go around hating it's fans. I think it's stupid that they would say that they're going to grow-up to murderers/trouble to society, I still watch cartoons and I'm fine.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
I watched a few episodes a while back to see what all the explicit was about, and surprisingly enjoyed it, for the most part. I've found that the enjoyment for most people comes from the fact that it's very similar to an anime, when looking at the characters personality and art style. At least that's my theory. I wouldn't say liking MLP makes you creepy, but it's not entirely out of the question. But the same goes for liking a lot of anime, really. So you know, whatever, I don't give a explicit whether someone likes it or not. "Bronies" can be annoying sometimes though.

Very much agreed! Haha. Stupid opinions are stupid. And I just noticed my thread got duplicated, annoying.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
There are MLP fans that are a bit creepy, but I don't believe a VERY few, perverted creepers should determine the opinion of all MLP fans. Honestly, what show doesn't have someone creeping over a character in it?
I'm 22, male, and I watch the show every now and then. I think I'm alright guy.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
Obviously I am a brony, I LOVE the show but i'm not the full on obsessed ones that...are creppy. But I will admit there are crazy fans that do creep me out. But the show does have good morals for children and adults. I just hate out people who hate MLP fans automatically think we're all the same. I'm 22 years old, my bf is also a brony btw. But don't think all Bronies are the same, not cool.

I think no matter what it is, there will always be the 'creepy' fans, the fans that put everything in a bad light. Furries have that problem (go ahead and bash me for being a furry. I'll play my tiny little violin for you). Musicians and music artists have that problem. MLP is no different.
I'm not a particular fan of MLP but I don't go bashing its fans or anything. Someone likes MLP, so what? I like furries. I have no basis with which to say they're weird. Doesn't mean I'm going to like it myself, though.
Also, @Kaitou Ace is a brony, and he would totally kick my shit if I said MLP fans are all creepy and should be shot.
I'm just kidding lol. He wouldn't do that. He's too cool for that.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
I require reliable demographics for me to agree with the negative outcome to various age groups who watch my little ponies. It may be possible that there are few kids who become troublesome in the society but using MLP alone as their reason is completely irrational. We should consider other factors such as the environment and the type of society those kids are living in.
I watched the show and it is actually good. I admit, I made prejudice to those grown up male fans because thinking about it logically, why would grown ups like a kid show especially if its a girly show? It was ridiculous to me for a male fan to exist. And I realized it by comparing it to liking loli show for anime. I like those cute shows but that doesn't make me a pedophile. Its just a coincidence that a creeper happens to be a pony fan xDD also friendship is magic. xDD

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
Why are bronies even considered creepy? I actually don't understand, but that's maybe since I don't watch MLP. Why is there even an argument about that? How do they gather the data to summarise that guys and girls should never watch MLP at age more than 6/10 because they'll grow up to be weird people? Is there even a study for that? From what I can tell with the bronies here, I don't think they're creepy like some people thought bronies would be.

You did indeed. Also, I don't really like My Little Pony but who cares if you do. It just seems a little futile asking a forum with a good chance of harbouring a large populational of socially dysfunct people, if watching My Little ony would make anyone socially dysfunct. Lol. Who's gonna be the person that goes "I watch blah blah and I'm a crazed sociopath"?

No, it'll be more "I watch blah blah and I'm just fine" and we all know what 'just fine' means!

It's not bad. It's just seen as weird by some people. Like those non sex offenders in our lives. Screw those guys.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
I'm a certified brony. I can talk like a normal person to Bieber fans, gangnam style folks, sports fans, rockers, religious folks with little problems. As far as I am concerned, it's just an interest/fandom. It's harmless.
People can call me creepy for being a brony, but the show makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
If for any reason I become troublesome to society, MLP would have nothing to do with it.

Re: Another Forum: MLP fans are creepy.
It's perfectly normal to like MLP and cartoons even if you're a young adult. Hold on to that youth for as long as you can, don't let people tell you it's not ok or that you have to grow up.
I'm trying to teach my little brother that concept. My "Mother" is trying to make him grow up to be a "gangsta/thug" And he's only in 6th grade. We went to six flags in San Antonio, and we ate at the food court that shows Looney Tunes cartoons. She kept yelling at us to stop watching the cartoons because were too old for them. We watched them anyway and laughed like little kids.
Point being, it's ok to like MLP or ANY other cartoons because it's good to hold on to what little youth you have left. Except when you turn into a crazy Brony who obsesses over one of the Mane 5 and has fantasies and such. Not cool.

Not to question your mother but why would she raise your younger brother to be gangsta? Thug is not in. Lol.
Do people really have MLP fantasies? Why?.. I don't see it.

That ^ and this:
I get very angry when I hear of certain communities going out of their way in their sad lives to spoil the viewing habits of ordinary people; Christ, just how much time do they have on their hands? Who are "they" to prophesise as to what fans will "turn into", and worse, on the basis of a TV show? It's stupid and unfounded opinions like that have lead to the stupid age of PC we live in now, and the sort of censored crap you get from the likes of 4Kids.
Like Ranshiin said, there will always be creepy fans (among ordinary fans) with any TV show; so there's no sense in a bunch of baseless opinions particularly scrutinising MLP. And that's coming from someone who's not even a MLP fan, but it's beside the point--those dangerous opinions are an insult to every viewer of any TV show, and I very much feel insulted.

I agree, it is weird. But some MLP cosplayers make me forget about the weirdness of that. Some of the girls look really nice.
