xpost r/funny picture of wedding when the officiator holds up this cringe inducing sign during the "First kiss" : cringe

the "just try the show, you would like it" guy, because everyone has the same taste right? Even if you don't mention the show, only the fanbase, somebody will say that.

the "lol you mad? I bet your jimmies are rustled" guy, who just discovered this internet thing, and thinks everyone with opinions is angry.

and the "don't take it so seriously, you need to look into your life if you dislike something so strongly" guy who also thinks people with opinions obviously dislike the things they have opinions on more seriously than they really do; in actually they simply dislike something.

Not a rant here, just things I've noticed when other people make criticisms of them, I never have on reddit so these are observations.

It's the fact that it's a girl's cartoon for most brony hater guys, most of whom wouldn't complain if a girl was into Transformers. I think that it should be primarily focused on kids and I get people disliking it being claimed by older people, rather than them being a peripheral demographic, but the gender thing really bothers me. It's one of the first of its kind in that it's a well written show aimed at girls, watch literally any current girl's cartoon and you'll see the utter shite they throw at little girls to get them to buy shit, and it fucks them up. I wish I had a show like that when I was young. That's why I like the attention it's getting, personally. It's also why the unfair stereotype bugs the fuck out of me, it's not representative of most of the fandom, just the most obnoxious bit of it.

I don't tend to do a lot of gleeful cooing. The writhing bugs me, but in real life I've never met that kind of person in the context of MLP, and if I did they're the kind of person I'd avoid anyway (growing up in a friendship circle of girls who were into anime wore down my tolerance for that kind of behaviour pretty fast). I'm really friendly with two guys (the first bronies I met, did not know they existed beforehand) who watch the show, and they're both quiet, intelligent, charming and socially capable and generally the complete opposite of the brony stereotype. For all of us, the fact that we watch the show is pretty incidental to who we are, it's just something we like doing. We have lives and all that, we just happen to enjoy a tv show. I think having a great first impression of bronies helped me out a bit, but that's something that's becoming rare these days. I'm just really lucky to have the friends I have.
