I think it’s pretty dumb that a bunch of adults who enjoy Star Wars as much as we do, even going so far as to watch that which is geared towards children (i.e. the Ewok movies, CW 2003, TCW 2008, Rebels) feel justified in making fun of a guy for watching MLP.
Yeah but a grown dude watching MLP is weirder. This is nothing against chyron specifically, I just find the whole Brony thing very strange. I do not understand why they like a show that is aimed at little girls so much, and as I’ve said I’ve seen plenty of it so it’s not like I have an uninformed opinion of it.
FWIW I’ve never seen the Ewok movies, CW is fine but whatever, I’ve never seen Rebels, and I don’t even watch Star Wars that often.
For a guy who became upset with chyron for saying he personally struggled with effeminate and flamboyant homosexuals, why do you judge him for being a straight man who likes something girly?
The former is a personality trait that, for the most part, is unconsciously demonstrated. I think that My Little Pony being girly has less to do with it than the fact that it’s a semi-educational show that is geared towards teaching very young kids how to behave and the value of friendship.
We can be accepting of all sorts of gay men, but a straight man must be manly or it’s creepy?
I don’t think it has anything to do with manliness, just the fact that it’s a show that is geared specifically towards the toddler and early elementary school age. There’s a difference between family entertainment like Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, or Pixar and specifically children’s entertainment like Bob the Builder or My Little Pony.
Bronies are weird. Sorry. If that’s judging them, so be it.
tolerance much?
Tolerating immutable characteristics in someone’s identity or appearance is completely different than not understanding why someone watches a TV show.
