Thoughts on Bronies

[Sal1981]

What ... you have never dreamed of being the most precious toy of a girl toddler?  Has you inner child forgotten how fun it was to imagine that your toys are alive?

1 Corinthians 13:11

I once wanted an expensive Lego car which you could drive like a regular remote-controlled battery-operated toy car. I do not any more.

I still watch cartoons though, like Adventure Time, Family Guy and others.

Most hentai is "boringly", or whatever, drawn. Particularly the TV-series hentai.

Perhaps the ponies have changed since we first encountered them or became funnier or otherwise more enjoyable for some male adults...... What the h*ll do I know......

Cross-culturally, that reminded me of the demon king Ravana ravashing Sita, the wife of king Rama.  In the end of the Ramayana ... Sita gets exiled, because of etiquette ... but maybe it was because she didn't fight the rape by Ravana hard enough?

They really have.  It's like 1960s Spider-man cartoon VS its 90s counterpart.  HUGE difference.

Ponies and unicorns are taking over the entertainment industry. They are freaking everywhere it seems. When I was younger, the definition of badass was to drink beer, wear black and tell authority figures to fuck off (Steve Austin). The younger generation is flipping that on it's head. Badass now is wearing pink and riding around on a stuffed unicorn. I've got to agree with the younger generation. This group of guys is the best thing going right now in pro wrestling.

Ponies and unicorns are taking over the entertainment industry. They are freaking everywhere it seems.

If by everywhere, you mean a small niche on the internet and a smattering of conventions, then I guess they're "everywhere".  No, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are not household names and if you asked random adults about FiM, they either wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about or would react as if you were talking about the mlp show from 20 years ago.  Once in a blue moon, you'd find a brony.  On this very thread, there's only maybe half a dozen people who have even watched the show.  Just saying, you might be overselling FiM's presence a little bit.

When I was younger, the definition of badass was to drink beer, wear black and tell authority figures to fuck off (Steve Austin). The younger generation is flipping that on it's head. Badass now is wearing pink and riding around on a stuffed unicorn.

Firstly, when I think of badass, I tend to think that of that guy who stood in front of that tank column in China or Erik the Red or Spartacus or Bruce Lee.  Or fictional people like Rick Grimes or Stannis the Mannis.  Generally speaking, I don't closely associate being badass with drinking beer or wearing black or professional wrestling.  I dunno.  Maybe that's just me.

Secondly, being macho is not the same thing as being manly.  I could elaborate, but I think Ron Swanson covered it nicely.

Thirdly, would it satisfy you to learn that I also heartily enjoy genetically-engineered supersoldiers in power armor slaughtering their way through hordes of aliens and knights fighting dragons and epic space battles?  And yes, I also adore cute little puppies and magic ponies when the mood strikes me.  Believe it or not, it is somehow possible to branch out into different things - perhaps even things not typically associated with boys - and not be effeminate.
