Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff?
I've loved MLP since I was a kid. But I'm a girl, so that's not weird. What IS though is that after watching all the current new MLP eps, my younger brother and his doofy friends, who are ALL 18, are all into it. THAT'S weird because 1) It's a trend thing. He knew nothing of it prior. 2) It's meme-worthy, or so he says. And 3) He's a self proclaimed 'brony'. All of which is just odd to me and he said since I liked it, that I was not a 'brony' but a 'pega-sister'.
Which is totally legit, I suppose. But I've always been a fan and no, not in the 'hipster' sort of way. The 'Why is this still relevant, oh because it's REBOOTED-ISH and totally for teens' sort of way. I know more boys and men who are obsessed with the show and the ponies than girls... My brother has Rainbow Dash's cutie mark on his car... I'M the lesbian and I don't even HAVE Rainbow Dash anything... lmao
There are the Haters, those who despise everything MLP and do everything in their power to 'de-bronify' men and boys and proclaim their hatred for everything that is magic and friendship. The Tolerators, those who watch the show, are a fan, enjoy it but don't find it necessary to 'brohoof' every 'brony' on the street. And then you have The Instigators, those who try to press the issue and get the Tolerators riled up as well as the Haters into arguments about it. They claim to hate MLP entirely, but secretly watch it every now and then because they reside in the gray area, where they can really never embrace nor reject it.
I, myself, am a Tolerator. I enjoy it but I don't care to make it known to the world or when someone bad mouths MLP.
Still, the show is great for what it is, ponies doing...pony things. lol
