It's always bronies, isn't it...

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Truly the invasive species of the internet

[–] DefyTheLegends 43 points 1 year ago

I thought they were extinct by now, because I haven't heard or seen that fad in, what feels like, years.

[–] ultimate_question 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like this reveals an uncomfortable truth about the lemmy user base lol

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bronies are like furries in a way, if you look at the big picture for a second tou realize they run the (digital) world

[–] Gamey 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For me as outsider they look even more desturbing, it's about a kids show and they dress up really fucking weard but I guess it could be a unfair assumption for om my side too, kinks are always kind of weard!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a brony myself either. But most of them are just fans of that show, its not just a kink, a lot just really like the pony show.

[–] Gamey 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting, I thought it was comparable to Furries or am I wrong about those too?

[–] StillWatersPony 5 points 1 year ago

Depends on what you mean by 'comparable'! I think the two fandoms are quite similar, just that bronies focus on being a fan of one series whereas furries are more fans of the idea of anthropomorphized characters, or animal-ish characters.

And there's a lot of differences between fans, too. Just in like any fandom. I'm pretty sure for some it might be a kink like the stereotype says, but other MLP fans use it as a vehicle for self-expression or self-discovery through the prosocial messages and themes. Ultimately it's a complicated topic that one could write a lot about!

[–] Korne127 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, the same applies to Furries but more

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need someone to stop this again

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Who cares? Let them have fun.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's part of the fun, to get rid of the bronies on the canvas.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're taking up an outrageous amount of space.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To be fair, the screencap is just of the brony region, and there’s lots of other canvas with no mention of them.

Can we not bring the randomly hating groups of people doing benigin things from Reddit? Please? What's wrong with drawing MLP characters on a pixel map exactly?
