God damn it. I watched one episode -one measly episode- out of curiosity, and now I'm near the end of the third season.
Why does it have to be so entertaining!

NOBODYPONY EXPECTS THE CANTERLOT INQUISITION!

Bumping an old topic for reason of hoping to start a flamewar friendly debate.
Bronies, what is your view on this?
[spoiler][/spoiler]
While I'm not a brony myself, I don't have anything against Bronies either. But this film I think is taking things too far.
The problem with it is that there are two very different demographics who MLP appeals to.

  • Bronies
  • Young girls
Now, my issue lies within this;
Among the Brony community, there are people who, well, masturbate to Cartoon Ponies. Undoubtedly these people will go to view the movie, however, so will the other demographic, that is young girls.
Do we really want these two kinds of people to be interacting with each other?
[spoiler]Now, before you get angry, I'm not saying that all MLP fans jack off over it. But, there is a godawful amount of the porn there, so you cannot deny that somewhere, in some basement, there is a grownb man jacking off to Applejack's cartoon titties.[/spoiler]
What's everyone elses thoughts?

Sounds good to me. :twisted:

On a slightly more serious note, I would imagine that the number of people actually getting themselves off to the material is minimal.  I'd also imagine that none of the latter would be going without a parent anyway, so it (hopefully) shouldn't occur.

Unless the mum is cute, of course... :wink:

You really bumped this topic for that? Really? This is some shit straight out of a pony thread simulator video.

However, I am of the belief that your fears are mostly unfounded. Already the previews for the EQ Girls suggest that they're deliberately aiming at an older audience (all of that middle/high school drama and whatnot) that a younger audience would have troubles relating to or even beginning to understand save some of the more socially adept ones perhaps. If nothing at all, basically what Quietus said about little number of small children going without a parent as it looks to be a mostly family-friendly kind of movie anyway. If there are large numbers of neckbeards, the influence of their ilk of whatever-the-internetters-think-up-these-days-and-what-have-you will likely be very little anyway because there are laws against this IRL, you know.

Also, titties on animals that aren't supposed to have them are disgusting. We have canonical human equivalents now though so whatever. Also also even if there is a large amount of porn, well, you can't say it wouldn't exist if people didn't like it. Best that whomever does whatever and society runs its natural course outside of that and whatever. Whatever!

Besides, getting excited by some made up character is weird.

Cammy just move on? :^_^:

I can imagine it confusing parents in the theater. Likely misinterpreting the brony for something worse.

You're a Dad, you're taking your daughter to this film. You have no idea what the whole mlp brony scene is.
You notice neckbeards all around your little girl, at a movie you know is meant for girls. You're confused/concerned.
You ask the nearest neckbeard why he's gone to see this movie. He tells you.
"I'm a Brony, we're guys that love my little pony. (then some example of how it enhances their life and alternative views)."

The movie hasn't started yet, you pull out your phone and quickly interwebs 'brony'. You find this:

Let me axe you a question Vismund Cygnus: Would not the same apply to any fandom?
There is quite a bit of metroid porn out there too, I fail to see how it's such a big deal with just FiM. (And from the psychological standpoint it's the characters personalities people are attracted too, not the fact that they are horses.)

I'm also going to have to break it to you; nearly everyone of age masturbate, and if not it's more likely due to group pressure/religious reasons more than anything. I fail to see the problem for children to be near people who have masturbated. Obviously I would have a problem with it if people did it publicly, but that's not really the point you're trying to argue (nor is it one that is anywhere near the truth.) So I have a hard time seeing where you're coming from with this.

Also DMan, I'm going to have to kindly tell you to get the fuck out of this thread if all you're going to do is shit post; This is not the first time you have done it and the only thing you're trying to do is rill up people with how uneducated you are, it baffles me that you would sink this low.



On the subject of the movie itself, I watched the cam recorded public dump. (Since, ya know, only american release.(Not that I would ever support this shit of a movie anyway.)) It was decent and had some up points, but honestly, it was very much S1E1 recycling as well as overusing past knowledge of the series for follow up jokes rather than standing on it's own two legs (har har).

Actually, that was the 1 relevant post I made in this thread.

Looked more like troll bait than anything else.

Define irony: An altercation in a thread titled 'Friendship is magic'. :^_^:

I, for one, lol'd @ DMan's post. I still don't think the audience would consist entirely of neckbeards no matter what you tell me, though.

>taking entertainment tv seriously
Not sure if you're being serious or not here. :I

Anyhow,this thing is pretty good if you want to be informed:

I am not serious,
I am making fun of you and your people.
