just checking in to make sure you guys aren't watching that new my little pony show
because it has come to my attention that it has kind of become, how do you say, "a thing" on the internet and seriously
seriously
-
I am aware of its thinginess but still cannot fathom why I should care.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yF04I.jpg)
-
I'm trying to figure out how this is any different from the last time (http://brontoforum.us/index.php?topic=4437.0) nerds and hipsters adopted a show ostensibly aimed at children. Not that I'm trying to slight that show or this one; I just don't see why one of these would be okay while the other is "seriously"
-
because it's for girls
-
not just girls but my little pony
i mean there was some weird shit going down with powerpuff girls and avatar too
i can respect that those were objectively good children's shows and avatar in particular has a pretty cohesive narrative whose one-shot morals are actually well-integrated, features unusually strong and positive female leads, and makes the clever choice of nudging the child audience to most closely identify with the character without super powers
if i had a kid i would watch avatar and powerpuff girls with that kid and probably not want to kill myself
but let us not kid ourselves sirs there was some pretty weird and gross shit going down with avatar and powerpuff girls and i am seeing The Signs
i guess what i am trying to say is a little self-consciousness is okay sometimes and is in fact part of being an adult
-
Wasn't My Little Pony already a Hipster Thing at some point anyway?
Also, this is literally the first I've heard that they're remaking that show. Man, next thing you know, the Care Bears will come back.
-
Powerpuff Girls was legitimately a good show 50-70% of the time. If Neo Ponies is as enjoyable I would watch it with zero issue.
The problem is I'm pretty sure it's not and the majority of /b/ trolls just have gender role issues and try to cover it up with SO FAHNNY JOKE and then the rest of the internet goes along with it.
-
See I stopped watching Powerpuff Girls about halfway through the first season, not because it wasn't good, and not really because I wasn't the target audience, but because there was nothing really there to interest me and I had better shit to do.
I watched Avatar all the way through multiple times because I thought it was fantastic and interesting despite not being the "target audience" (I'm not sure I believe this though - Avatar was fantastic and interesting because it was more than just a show for kids).
I haven't seen MLP but I suspect it's worth watching if you're:
1. A little girl.
2. Just really into horses.
3. Bored.
4. Friends with any of the above, or with
5. A person who finds small, doe-eyed, pastel-colored horses sexually attractive.
In the interest of full disclosure: if a tiny blue mare named Sparklebutt batted her lashes, assured me I wouldn't get a disease and lifted her tail... why the fuck not, I've probably thought about worse.
Like Blossom in high-heeled leather boots and nothing else.
-
I've been watching it. It's basically Azumanga Daioh except with magical ponies.
-
So the ponies are horribly dubbed?
-
The reason it can be socially acceptable for older people to watch PPG:
Powerpuff Girls - Big Lebowski (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxINUu8AvMo#)
I don't know if the same can be said for MLP. The obsession around the internet disturbs me.
-

I dunno but lesbian goths who post pictures of their titties on their LJ's seem to like them.
-
The new My Little Pony show is from the same creative mind that made Foster's Home for Imaginary Children, so
you know
um
stop judging me
only four episodes so far i can stop any time that i want
thad just posted like twenty goddamn paragraphs about thundercats

That explains everything.
But I will never stop judging you.
You and your problems.

As a man of my "geeky" interests, I am used to some ridicule about my hobbies. When it comes to some things, I have to sit down and weigh whether or not the subect is good enough for me to endure the ridicule I'll get for it.
DnD: Yes.
Avatar: Yes.
Comic books: Yes and no
MLP? Not at all. That show would have to be GOD TIER to make it worth watching. And the clips I have seen and the fanbase I'm encountered assured me that it is not.
Unless someone on here can convince me this is the best show since color TV was invented, I shall stay far, far, FAR away from MLP.
And so help me if one of you starts saying "everypony" or "brony" or "brohoof here" or any of that shit.
-
I lasted about 3 minutes of that before I couldn't take anymore of the above linked video.
So, in conclusion:

-
It seems like it might be a good show but man I can't even be arsed to watch shows I know I like so
-
I guess I'll watch that in a few minutes so I can give an actual informed opinion but first I'm going to stare at that gif for three minutes while listening to Ievan Polkka.

thad just posted like twenty goddamn paragraphs about thundercats
Yeah, but everybody else would apparently rather talk about My Little Pony.
-
I'm sure it's a perfectly decent show, but I have yet to see anything about it that would give me a reason to be interested.
-
From what clips of it I've seen (in a Chrome incognito window), if I had a daughter, I'd probably watch it with her and enjoy it. Otherwise, sweet fuck no.
-
I've said a lot in channel, but in case you missed it, the two pilot eps are fun to watch once you get over your irrational sense of shame and accept that this is basically just Sailor Moon with horses.
The next ep after that was such a staggeringly formulaic syrupy Aesop that it hurt my head, and I suspect the rest of the episodes are like the third.
Also Rainbow Dash is everybody's favorite because she's basically just a boy that might have a vagina somewhere.
-

Yeah, but they get better after that. Applejack is kind of boring, you see.

Pfft. Rarity is the best one. Followed by Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, THEN Rainbow Dash. And then Applejack.

Hey, don't look at me. I was just trying to do some field research for you guys and then this douchebag started wearing his Trapper-Keeper trampstamp on his sleeve.
...
I'm probably the last person to realize this, but all My Little Ponies have their little star-and-rainbow-and-girly-shit insignias on the exact spot where you would normally brand a horse. I... don't know what the implications of that are.
-
Well looks like I found something to download and send in to Outer Heaven.
-
It's already been requested, but I can't show it until I know which episode is desired.

I think the Robot Unicorn Attack (http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html) game softened 4chan to the idea of rainbow horses. A few people started posting My Little Pony threads a couple of months ago. I guess this started a chain reaction of people who couldn't believe anyone was genuinely watching MLP, watched an episode or two to see what the fuss was about, found it was more entertaining than the insipid girly crap normally expected of My Little Pony, and got swept up in the fad.
Or, My Little Pony is 2011's Ron Paul.
Edit: There are a couple of other reasons why the show might appeal to internet people. The main character is a bookish nerd, who is also a high-level wizard. The second episode is essentially The Hobbit. Two characters have a convenient resemblance to the main characters from one of the season's most popular anime (http://imgur.com/a/u3YK2), Panty & Stocking. Anime fans have already been watching shows with a primarily female cast for a while now, so a half-decently written cartoon isn't much of a stretch.

This is basically the "Man Who Enjoys Thing Informed He Is Wrong" article from The Onion in action, isn't it?
-
It's a thread from Pacobird, Archduke of Nofunland
-
I didn't think anyone here said it was wrong to watch it, just trying to figure out the why.
-
Paco seemed pretty clear that it was wrong to watch it. At least in his mind, which thus makes it God's Will.

tell your coworkers you watched my little pony last weekend
i mean really people
EDIT: just so you know I'm no hypocrite I was at gamestop the other day and considered getting Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for a moment, but got Monster Hunter instead

It's a cute little show. There's no point in freaking out that "OH NO COOTIES"
Thought you guys were better than this

All they ever talk about is UFC and hockey. Like I really want their opinion.

I don't watch the show, but it appears that it has provided us with this generation's "The Smurfs are Stalinist propaganda." (http://www.overthinkingit.com/2011/02/24/my-little-pony-political-economy/) It's a fun article, but the pony battles on /co/ still leave me with a gut aversion to this show.
-
EDIT: just so you know I'm no hypocrite I was at gamestop the other day and considered getting Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for a moment, but got Monster Hunter instead
which monster hunter

is that psp one with the partial fan translation patch worth trying to play together

if you mean MHP3: yes
but, partial fan translation patch (also no infrastructure (FUCKING LOL CAPCOM EAT SHIT))

If you let 4chan ruin things for you then you'll never be able to enjoy anything ever again.

oh my god you guys I never noticed before that Panty looks exactly like Betty Cooper
wait shit no she actually looks like Gadget Hackwrench
wait fuck she looks like Black Canary
wait maybe they all just have blonde hair and that counts as a convenient resemblance somehow

Oh, hey, there's a metal version (http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-heavy-metal-twitchy-online-game.html) now.

There was a pretty welcome Blazing Saddles reference in one episode.
-
what is this thread about... is this a joke? why would someone watch my little ponies show
I would never watchthat, for real
(still kindof drink btw)
-
And MCE makes another stellar post!
Why can't anyone else make good posts?
-
Before this thread existed, if I were in a location where My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic was being shown, I wouldn't have paid any attention.
Now that I've read this thread, If I find myself in a location where My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic is being shown, I'll probably watch as long as I have reason to be there.
Just another anecdote in support of the maxim: "Heap scorn upon my grave, and you'll only point the way to its location."
-
Oh, hey, there's a metal version (http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-heavy-metal-twitchy-online-game.html) now.
Holy shit they actually used good music
I was expecting some crappy screaming noise but they went with Blind Guardian yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss. The only way it could be better if the track was And Then There was Silence but that's kinda long for a Flash game. brb playing forever

But guys... what about the Thundercats thread?

So I made a few posts in that Pony Political Economy blog's comment thread subtly accusing people who defend the division of Pony labor as portrayed in the show of being fascists.
I guess maybe something good came out of this.

Oh, before I forget:

I did this with a coworker a while ago.
His favourite character is now Pinkie Pie.
He memorized what days it goes up on /rs/.

GUYS.
I promised I'd show an episode of this on Outer Heaven as soon as somebody told me which episode (not the first) to use.
I humbly request that somebody send PM me a link to a perfectly legitimate download of the episode of their choosing that is not the first episode.

That video comforts me because it seems to imply that only the mentally degenerate shitbags that play on Orange maps would have anything to do with that pony model.
-
I watched the first episode of this because I thought turnabout was fair play after I made my girlfriend watch He-Man.
It was a bonding experience in that we both hated it.
-
The first two episodes are not at all indicative of the series as a whole.
First two episodes: Sailor Moon, but horses
Every other episode: Azumanga Daioh, but horses
-
Yeah, the first two episodes are how you pitch a series. The rest of it is how you run an awesome character-driven series.
-

See, neither of those sounds that good to me.

Mongrel's just a horse racist.
I should know, I see him all the time at the horse races.

Man, back when we had a roommate, we used to have a running gag that whenever the internet was slow, it meant he was downloading vast quantities of horse porn.

Well, Applejack and Mr. Hands have to make money somehow during the winter when the apples don't grow. So, they rent out the farm. And Mr. Hands.
It didn't work out too well that one time.
-
First two episodes: Sailor Moon, but horses
Every other episode: Azumanga Daioh, but horses
This is probably the most accurate comparison anyone could ask for.
Not that I've seen any of these or would know.
: dudes :
-
I have definitely seen more Sailor Moon than could ever possibly have been good for me.
-
If you were also underage I don't think it counts against you in court.
-
I have the first two volumes of the Sailor Moon manga, but I could never finish it.
It's surprisingly wordy.

So long as you're all registered as sex offenders, I don't see the problem.

No I'm not. Pinky Pie thinks I'm smart and I believe her.

FOX suggests someone other than FOX didn't do the research while editorializing on an article a more reputable publication produced.
No news here.

So whether you like it or not, now you'll be called "Bronies" by every middle-aged clueless woman who catches you watching or mentioning the show?

My gramma already calls me a brownie, which is odd because I'm equally white across all regions of my person down-to and including my ass.

To be fair, Q probably would manifest in Equestria as Discord and fuck with everything just for laughs, while at the same time subtly teaching the residents a valuable lesson. That's basically what he does.

Well I mean, I expect that from any kind of mainstream cartoon aimed at kids and early teens where their first tentative steps in sexualizing the opposite gender are being drawn from female characters they feel like they know. I pray to god this is why Sonic wankdom is so staggeringly massive. A not insignificant number of good male artists I follow have admitted that the sole motivation for their early attempts at seriously drawing the human figure were born from the mindless want to make pornography. It's weird but if you think about it, when you're that young, there's not a ton of other things that really command your attention/discipline quite the same. This is probably why there's so much of it.
With My Little Pony, I really feel like most of the rule 34 output has been trolling. It just seems like there's no way most people could get past the fact that these are, like, horses, no matter how much they liked the characters themselves. Even with furries they make them human-like first.
Honestly, what genuinely bothers me is stuff like Cupcakes up there. I guess the concept is sort of funny in how a pink pony named Pinkie Pie would turn out to be the most sadistic monster ever to walk the earth, but you hit that point in the video where the creator spent the time to accurately create a scene where Rainbow Dash's intestines are being pulled out on a torture rack and like... they wrap it in a video with a look that most little girls looking for MLP videos are going to fall for. How exactly is this not a genuinely, unironically awful thing for someone to do?
I'd say it made me wonder if other artists these days are getting their start with the driving motivation of being good trolls and pleasing the 4chan crowd, but I just know this was done by a dude in his mid-30s.
-
I think that's probably true but I mostly wanted to make jokes about what happened to the one actual adult human woman Craig McCracken and friends ever created.
-
We can only pray that McCracken preserves his innocence and never searches the internet for one of his beloved children.
Also turns out he married the creator of the new MLP?

Wait, there's a video of Cupcakes? All I knew about was the comic that's being drawn.

Pretty sure Frankie is still underaged.
Frankie – Madame Foster's 22-year-old granddaughter, addressed as "Miss Frances" by Mr. Herriman. Frankie is the caregiver at Foster's and helps keep everything in order. In spite of Mr. Herriman's fussiness and fixation with rules and cleanliness, having to take care of everyone and everything in the house, and Bloo's mischief-making (all of which cause her tremendous stress), she is usually very friendly and easy-going. According to her driver's license, she was born on July 25, 1984. She is voiced by Grey DeLisle.
I want to point out that the one-paragraph frankie bio on wikipedia mentions her age twice despite that information not being in any way relevant to the show as a whole or even the rest of the entry
internet disaster tourism is all the porn i need, really

might have had another dimension if the driver's license were a citation, though

Well, since I have creative drive but no ability, I an a dude that enjoys thinking about art and I actually have long thought there was an interesting article to be written on the Rule 34 phenomenon in general, viewed as a really crass and brazen example of art being transgressive and expressive of the individual over culture; i.e., on one level it's just really funny, but if somebody wants to express sexual longings through writing harry potter slash fanfiction and if they can, why shouldn't they? What is so sacrosanct about crassly commercial characters that we SHOULDN'T pretend they fuck?
I, however, am not the man to write this article.
-
Also, adventure time also gets rule 34'd, I'd like to hear your opinions on that.
The Ecchi-Attack dudes are pretty sure that Marceline the Vampire Queen and of course Lumpy Space Princess will be the sexual awakening of the next generation.
One guy is utterly convinced that that scene from Go with Me where Marceline and Finn hunt, devour and capture a pack of wolves is a heated metaphor for fucking. It's hard to want to argue otherwise.

I think you guys are forgetting that the true power of the internet is the ability to unite and share like-minded sentiments at an accelerated pace entirely unknown of in History.
I like to imagine that from the dawn of time, mankind has been a ridiculously horny lot. People just had significant less free time and it's much harder to find lasting evidence of a pair of fine tits drawn on a papyrus sheet since a lot of those faceless dudes were probably dying of easily treatable things or being forced into slavery/wars. But I bet they did it, or they talked about it all the time like we do now. Like I'm imagining people trying to rule 63 Grendel and Beowulf or dudes talking about how hot the Wife of Bath was. Maybe a primitive hunter couldn't help but admire the elegant grace and poise of a cheetah he killed with a spear.
How many dudes jacked off to the thought of how dead is too dead to fuck Juliette? Let's get cracking, historians.
There's also a strong argument that maybe all these sentiments existed but they were kept under control by a good healthy dose of religious shame, since we also do live now in a nice perfect storm of open values, loose authority and The Internet.

Well, the behaviour of soldiers over the past thirty millennia hints that that's true at least for rowdy young males.

Oh, so someone finally decided that "Derpy" meant something they don't like. I was actually kind of waiting for that.

Uhhh, is the new one SFW? (other than OMG PONIES I mean)

Hi-five pseudo pony-watcher. :hi5:
-
If it's anything like the last one, it's totally SFW.
That is, if you think chainsawing off body parts and ripping out organs from a kid's show character is safe for work. Or watchable without feeling sick about the human race.
But you know, no tits.
-
Wait... there was chainsawing in the last one? Or this one?
The last one I saw was DRESS.MOV, which did have violence, but it was largely implied. The only really questionable stuff were the *ahem* unicorn pokes. That was still kind of worse than APPLES, which was perfectly fine. I asked because these uh... seem to be escalating.
-
I think she was referring to this video:
Cupcakes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx4ymmAahBw#ws)
... Man, Rainbow Dash does not have any luck in these kinds of situations.
-
So uh.
Yeah. I'm done.
Apples was pretty good, guys. Dress wasn't. And I really don't care for this sort of thing. It's not funny or even really interesting.
I guess I'm just going to have to stop on clicking all pony videos.

SHED.mov is pretty damn violent. NSFW.

so i guess this thread has devolved into pony shock horror porn. Awesome.

APPLE was mocking a specific trait of the actual character that always seems a bit off (I'm probably biased since I can't eat a single apple anymore, but really the APPLE EVERYTHING stuff is sort of crazy). DRESS was just sort of lowbrow and mean.
I can't watch the new one right now but I'm going to guess it continues the trend of becoming Happy Pony Friends.

Okay, I finally clicked on SHED.MOV out of morbid curiosity.
Noticed that I said "clicked on". I would have said "watched" if I hadn't closed it in horror after a few seconds of flipping through the video.
Jesus, what the fuck is the matter with the kid who makes those. That's disgusting as anything and I don't even watch the regular show.
-
I'm not entirely sure if the thing wasn't supposed to be mocking itself. The ending and the little "disclaimer" at the end seem to be taking a shot at how banal this sort of thing really is. I can imagine too many people drawing a line between the sort of nasty tone of the last two and Cupcakes and just going, "Fuck, what, do you people want Cupcakes? Here's your fucking Cupcakes."
Also it pisses me off that I can say Cupcakes and people will know what I'm talking about.

what is up with these cowboy hats with a cleft in the brim
i thought that structure was mainly for shielding your eyes from the sun
ain't that like poking holes in an umbrella

Isn't that to let water out so the brim doesn't fill up when it's raining?
-
RE: pony.mov series
it's made by the dude that does wacky gamer jokez for kids so "writer is dumb" is basically the default if you start thinking too hard about them
RE: Buge's picture
if you see a cartoon horse and think "oh man I need to go find a picture of her as a human so I can masturbate" you're a furry regardless
-
Isn't that to let water out so the brim doesn't fill up when it's raining?
Why wouldn't it be on the side or back, then? Why directly over the eyes?
-
So it doesn't run down your collar?
Also, I think part of the reason SHED.MOV pissed me off so much is that the "HEY HEY HEY, STAY OUTTA MY SHED" throwaway line was one of the few things I thought was genuinely funny about the second one.
-
So you can see and control where the water lands? I don't actually have any idea what I'm talking about, here.

WHO HERE ACTUALLY OWNS A COWBOY HAT?

Why in god's name would anyone own and wear a cowboy hat in this day and age?

I have a hat myself, not a cowboy hat, but in any case I just bend the front downwards a bit and I never have water issues.
is just weird, man
-
I own a cowboy hat. I haven't worn it in a while but I do. Granted I own a lot of hats. It's sorta like this one, except the band is less brown. http://www.sheplers.com/i/p/096/096b78/096b78_89_p1_550x550.jpg (http://www.sheplers.com/i/p/096/096b78/096b78_89_p1_550x550.jpg) Still, I like hats... Yeah. No caps though. Caps are bad!
-
Mine doesn't have a cleft in it.
-
(http://www.bmsbiz.net/oldwest/Kobles%20Clothing%20Images/hat6.jpg)
This is also more like what an actual hat a cowboy would wear would look like. Cowboys weren't nearly as Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as movies would lead you to believe.
EDIT: After saying that I google'd buffalo bill and he wore a fairly simple wide brimmed hat also!
-
I think a lot of better westerns show a pretty wide diversity of hats, including the simple broad-brimmed hats. But yeah.
-
Actually I haven't been able to find a photograph of a cowboy or cowboy hat with the cleft after several pages of GIS*, only cartoon ones. I'm beginning to think it might be visual shorthand for wear and tear.
*: The closest thing I've seen is...
(http://francois.brontoforum.us/miscpic/reagan.jpg)
...which ain't a cleft so much as it is two rolled-up sections of the brim.
-
Pretty sure it's artistic license. Hats with flat-brimmed fronts tend to look bad on screen for a number of reasons (mainly it limits the number of angles you can actually see someone's face at), so actors tend to curl the front either up or down and animators just go ahead and cock up hats with an concave or missing front. In practice I don't think there are any hat designs that actually come like that that anybody cares about.
(Applejack herself doesn't have to worry about that because the hat is sort of oddly placed on the back of her head anyway, but the sharp little points add a little bit of flare to the design and this is a SHOW ABOUT PONIES FOR GIRLS so yeah that wins.)
-
Yeah, it may just be visual shorthand for a brim with a lot of roll in it.
-
This is pretty much what mine looks like:

Okay, now that I'm actually watching more of this stuff I think I've cracked the code. Friendship is Magic is not a show for little girls, despite its pedigree* and the fact that it's still about vain little ponies. Friendship is Magic is a show developed and aimed at autistic children. Its main character is an autist who claims to literally not know what friendship is and only understands social interactions through what she's read in a book. At the end of every episode she unveils some revelatory moral that's kind of obvious to everyone else, but not its target audience really. The whole thing is designed to attract and to teach children who lack natural social ability.
And the thing about children who lack social ability is that they aren't really that different from adults who lack social ability.
So if you're a grown male who likes Friendship is Magic and can't figure out why and are worried that you're secretly an asshole who keeps playing games for girls, take heart! Friendship is Magic appeals to you because Friendship is Magic is for you! You are the one who identifies with this cute gothy little pony and her ridiculous bullshit social issues! You are the one who secretly needs and appreciates all the lessons on friendship and dealing with people that you're getting from this talking cartoon horse! You are vicariously living out this fantasy of being shipped off a new town as a spiteful loner and suddenly being trounced upon by five fiercely loyal, interesting and talented friends who are determined to put up with your goofy bullshit and teach you to be normal! You crave the message embedded deeply and not-so-deeply within Friendship is Magic, and that's perfectly fine, because let's face it, you really fucking need it.
Also you probably want to make horrible man-pony or woman-pony babies with Rainbow Dash and frankly I don't blame you.

Hasbro de-derps Derpy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2CRjPO73Dg#ws) in response to backlash against having a wall-eyed, bumbling pony named after a colloquial slur for the retarded.
Fans demand eyes be re-derped.
-
That was insanely fun to write
-
She's still got her derpy eyes. She just doesn't sound like she has mental deficiencies. Honestly, I prefer the newer voice.
-
She doesn't have the signature eyes, they excised her name, and frankly the new voice sounds awful. It's awkward and unnatural-sounding, in a show that's generally been known for pretty natural voice acting.
And the real voice didn't sound like someone doing a mocking voice, anyways.
-
Maybe Hasbro will take their show meant for little girls and stop listening to the creepy middle age neckbeards' fantasies about it.
-
I dunno. I agree with DN. Her new voice is way better and she's still fairly cross-eyed. Just not enough that mothers buying toys for their little girls will pause and wonder why she looks "special."
Derpy is an awful name, by the way. I don't like they gave her the name and then took it away but that's showbiz.
(Shut up. I know fans gave her the name but it was up to the show to actually give her a name. It's the fans fault for choosing a slightly offensive term and then latching on to her like she's the Mare Messiah.)
And the real voice didn't sound like someone doing a mocking voice, anyways.
That's pretty interesting, TA.
-
Did the word actually refer to people with special needs before people with special needs decided it does?
-
I've always heard "Derping" defined as "Acting retarded."
And making noises like "Hurr durr" and the like are sounds people make when mocking someone calling them retarded.
-
I know Lottel pointed this out, but Derpy was never her actual name. So there's really no issue there.
-
They did call her Derpy in that clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geTCP666Yf4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geTCP666Yf4)

I remember it meaning someone was acting like an idiot, by nature of not thinking it through, but not really mentally retarded though.
When the cross-eyed derp came along, like with TA's garfield cartoon and such, THAT I took as meaning lol downs syndrome
So I think the MODERN VISION OF THE DERP is a shot at the mentally retarded

Oh well, that's certainly something.

The modern usage of "derp" seems stem from that South Park episode with all the fake Rob Schneider trailers, and later South Park in general.
-
It started much earlier than that with a one-off character named Mr. Derp. But yeah, same premise. I always took it to mean "There was no word to describe how dumb that was, so we made one!"
-
I thought it started with Bidoof :/
-
I thought her "real name" was Ditzy-do or something like that? Either way, new voice is fine, backpedaling on calling her Derpy is eh.
-
I wonder if any part of the problem here was someone in Hasbro realizing there could be potential legal problems for letting the internet name your things.
Or just problems in general. Either way, anything that divorces the horrific subculture known as "bronies" from the show itself is good in my book. It's fine you're a fan of a snappy, well-written show. It's not fine when you make homestuck fans look sane.
-
Maybe Hasbro will take their show meant for little girls and stop listening to the creepy middle age neckbeards' fantasies about it.
This is unlikely, really. The amount of money that comes from adult collectors is small in comparison to children, but we're still talking like 20% depending on the IP. Hasbro owns GI-JOE, Transformers, and the rights to make toys for Marvel and fucking *Star Wars.* They have a lot of experience in how to market a show and toys for children while still pleasing the adult collector fanbase. It's just... well. I bet they were thrown for a loop with the brony explosion and are still puzzling out how to make it work with for MLP. Perhaps you're not that far off in retrospect though. Bronies are already buying girly toys as merch, maybe it's best just to leave shit the fuck alone.

You'd think at the least Hasbro would see the profit in marketing one grey pony as Derpy and raking in an entire new demographic. At the worst, they'd make barrels of cash until some external controversy made them stop, making Derpy a collectors thing.
I don't pretend to understand toy marketing, but isn't this the entire reason the show exists? Fostering demand for this kind of thing?
-
The look of constant shock and disbelief on the MLP VAs' faces whenever they visit a con is priceless.
-
Hasbro could take one figure and change the name and sell it in Spencer Gifts/Hot topic under a different brand, and get mo money.
how come when some guy shows his collection of MLP figures to others he joins a clique but whenever I show off my Dora the Explora collection people look at me funny and the cops suddenly have a search warrant?
-
I thought it started with Bidoof :/
Same here
-

Not the best plan. You run the risk of alienating the adult fanbase by splitting off products that are obviously intended for them, implying that they should be cordoned away from the rest of the franchise. Also, lessening potential sales of the rest of your product because it exists in two different locations. You see, there are less adult fans than children, but adults buy much more. The second that collectors hear that Wave 3 has hit stores in their area, they will drive down to Wal-Mart, buy all the new things introduced in that wave, and maybe check back every few weeks if there were shortpacked toys. There's also the issue with creating brand confusion.
Hasbro has created lines aimed at collectors before like the Transformer Alternators, but they were always sold beside other toys from the same franchise. Alternators themselves didn't do so well, but it was more due to a lack of mold variety at the line's launch creating shelves clogged with the same one or two products that everyone already had. And to be frank, I can't really see how you would do the Alternator treatment with MLP.

hotdiggedydemon made another pony movie, Magic.mov (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGFIumhNiM0#ws). While not quite in the same category of gore horror porn that shed.mov was, the movie has a couple of chuckle-worthy moments at best and is still gross and stupid. Apple.mov was funny. Taking this in the direction of repulsive, uncomfortable humor was a mistake and having videos like this popping up on youtube is exactly the kind of thing that makes me not admit to anybody I actually watch this fucking show.
-
That's the reason?
-
I would say overall it's probably the fanbase and it's creations in general, to be honest. Bronies are the new furries.
I'm not ashamed to admit I watch children's cartoons and never have been.
-
Bronies are the new furries.
I can't place why, but I don't believe that this comment is accurate.
-
Furries are on the whole more respectable?
-
I disagree with that, Beat. And I'd say there's a fair amount of overlap between furries and bronies.
-
I dunno, I find the reactions to be very similar, right down to the Brony-Shamers and Furry-Shamers actually being far more irritating than the Furries or Bronies.
-
I think it's because furries are deemed "deviant" in a way that can't be discussed during a morning or prime-time news program. Though why this is a significant distinction to me is anyone's guess.
-
Oh right, this thread exist. No better place to put a link to japan (http://g.e-hentai.org/g/482919/403e127362/). [ADMIN EDIT: You can probably guess from context, but patito does not NSFW tag his links.]

BronyCon: The Documentary Project (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e5Nwyc9btw#)
-
OK, so.
Bronies.
Yep.
Why? Why why why why why why why why why why why blah blah blah blah blah.
Let's start with some facts:
1. The show is good.
2. The show is legitimately funny for adults.
3. You can like the show and not be a "brony."
4. All shows of any merit will have a dedicated, borderline (or beyond the line) obsessive fanbase.
So, those facts might be enough to shed some light on why Bronies exist. But still, you say, why why why why why? A bunch of screaming faggots in their late 20s and 30s obsessing about giant transforming laser robots, while pathetic, at least makes sense, because childhood and neeeeeeeeeeeeerds. (Please note that I do not think adult transformers fans are pathetic. I was using my hypothetical person voice.)
OK, I'm going to do my best to address this. The following is not fact like the above, but merely my opinion and insight into human nature.
Now, I watch and enjoy the show. I am not a brony, or whatever female version of that word is currently being used this week on 4chan. I'm a 30 year old girl/woman who used to watch and collect MLP in the 80s when I was the target audience. Does that make it less weird for you that I watch and enjoy the show? Probably not. Again, I refer to fact 1 and 2 if you are still confused.
Alright, so, that's me. But why are MALES ARRGHHH MANLY MEN MUSCLES BACON LEATHER who are my age watching and enjoying the show? Why are there "Bronies"?
Again, facts 1 through 4. But lets go a bit deeper. I am not a man, but I am a student of the human condition, and what I have observed about men is this:
Men are told to man the fuck up. Don't cry, don't have feelings, don't do anything except RARRGH BACON LEATHER. It's a truism that a man angry is usually experiencing the exact same emotions a woman who is upset/crying is. They've just been taught and conditioned to express those feelings in a safe "man" way. Breaking down and crying, as a man, is unacceptable. You are a man. You cannot have feelings that are not related to anger. So a man channels his sadness or upset into rage. I'm not saying women don't get angry, of course. I'm only saying a man will, by default, channel sadness or being upset into anger instead of tears because he has been trained since age 4 that crying is not OK for men.
This is not news to anyone here, I'm sure. You all went through it.
You've been conditioned to be a "man" the same way that I, and other women were conditioned to be a "lady" (which I'm not going to get into right now, because it's not topical) and again, not news.
So then here comes this little bundle of pure candy. MLP is like pure, unrefined childhood. It represents, to a lot of people (men), a simpler time, a time before they had to act and be a certain way, a time when it was OK for them to play with girl toys or hug their friends or paint their nails if they wanted to. MLP appeals to the simple nature of love, togetherness and fun in all of us. It appeals especially strongly to males because they have been forced to suppress these urges.
Of course, all of that may just be tl;dr to you, in which case, AGAIN, I direct your attention to facts 1 through 4.
-
If you have RAAARGH BACON LEATHER all that much, you're probably curing it too long. Take it out of the smoker sooner.
-
Then what will you wear?
-
Glad I was raised by women or apparently I would've ended up wanting to fuck cartoon horse children.
Seriously though, the brony situation was best left with a quote from a number of pages back I don't feel like searching, it's not the idea of bronies, it's the people that embrace the title.
-
What keeps confusing me is the constant assertion that the show itself is something more than it actually is. It'd be disingenuous for me to say that adults can't enjoy it, but all its fans keep bringing up this supposed awesome writing for adults and I don't really get that. I eventually ended up watching the entire first season just to get all the jokes but at no point did I see where it's ever not just a preachy-ass cartoon for preteen girls. :shrug:
-
ymmv, of course. Modified to be general facts 1 and 2 can never apply to everyone, regardless of what we're talking about. I'm sure there is a club for people who hate or simply just don't get Avatar TLA, Tolstoy, the Mona Lisa, etc
-
The people who work on it will often work more grownup jokes and references into their cartoons. Lauren Faust and McCracken and a lot of the Cartoon Network usuals do great work.

Brent: You're over-thinking the whole "It was made by people who have done quality cartoon work before", which is generally reason enough to give a show like MLP the nod to quality it deserves. You're probably sniffing around a suspicion that the sort of people who REALLY INSIST THAT THIS WRITING IS SO GOD DAMN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD are also leaving off other thoughts like "unlike every other cartoon released in the last ten years, none of which I have actually watched and this one only hit me by memetic spreading."
There's an easy line of quality between say, MLP(Good) and Johnny Test(whyyyyyy) where you can just look at MLP and nod your head. This is a pretty good cartoon, like Samurai Jack or Foster's or Dexter's Lab or Powerpuff Girls. It's just ridiculous when apparently the other good cartoons not made by Faust and McCracken don't exist because jaded fuckers.
Friday: Your theory is sound but I think there's a hiccup. Men may be trained to not cry from a young age, but a significant number of Bronies are also the sort of people who never actually took to machismo and will literally throw temper tantrums over not being able to play a video game. I think that somewhere along the line, their Manliness Training fell apart and maybe something like MLP split that open like a dam with a crack in it just by applying a little pressure. It might also be an issue of attention: these same bronies would be waifuing up a Mass Effect forum somewhere if MLP hadn't spread to them first.
The sheer random strength of the meme and Geek Social Fallacies (http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html) creates an incredibly comfortable safe zone for a Brony with a huge number of members.
-
I think Doom sorta has it, but also in the non-nerd fans, I see a segment that also is borderline not-nerd-at-all but more in with the Irony-is-best-humour crowd.
These are the men who see a decent cartoon which is also simultaneously the living embodiment of everything unmanly dun dun dunnnnnn. So it attracts them. In a way this is kind of positive, in the sense that these are people who are either saying "I am so comfortable with my masculinity that I can watch this shows and tell you that I do it" or who simply love throwing the traditional need to be RARWRWGGGRRR LEATHER BACON STEAKS under the bus, smirking while they do it because it pisses off the peers/parents/relatives/authority figures who nag them to fit age and gender-norms rebellion will always be cool, man.
I think the kind of folks Doom mentioned are more common (and those are the more creepy ones), but the not-hipsters are a factor too. And the fact that multiple demographics are getting different things out of this adds to the self-reinforcing popularity of the show (i.e. "It's not just my demographic that likes it", etc.).
-
Brent: You're over-thinking the whole "It was made by people who have done quality cartoon work before", which is generally reason enough to give a show like MLP the nod to quality it deserves.
I guess I'm underthinking it? I know and don't care who made it. If I were to actually consider it I'd have to scratch my head - PPG, Foster's, and Samurai Jack didn't really come off sounding like a toy commercial.
That of course would last for about a second before I remembered that MLP is a toy commercial, which explains most why it sounds so hollow to me. Kinda-sorta explains the following too, since having an ensemble cast seems to be cruise-control for fanbase (most Bronies seem to have been either or both MSPA and Bleach fans at some point. I AM AWARE OF MY AVATAR.)
-
Ensemble cast is 100% cruise control for fanbase. Touhou is pretty much nothing but a series of arcade shooters with barely any dialogue that provide a steady stream of blank slate new characters for fans to imprint as they will.
-
Vocaloids, too.
-
My friend—let's call him "Ensign Harry Kim"—started watching MLP earlier this year. Ensign Kim doesn't get out much; he's perennially unemployed, ostracized from most of his family and previous friends, and barely skates by on the proceeds of plasma donation. I don't blame him for wanting to share his interest with me. I get that: when you're really excited and enthusiastic about something, you want to share that with your friends, even against your better judgment; even over their protests that they have no interest in this. Don't get me wrong; I've enjoyed the episodes I've seen, but I don't want to be coerced to watch more, much less read through all this MLP fanfiction you've downloaded. Hell, I'm still trying to sort through all the "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" fanfic, 3.5 D&D character builds, and these furry homoerotic short stories you wrote. I don't have time for this.
Long story short, I think at least a part of the brony phenomenon is that "Friendship is Magic" is a hall-pass for gamer-identifying guys to indulge their whimsical side, but it looks like you guys have established that already.

Also, they're funny punctuation for the particularly awful posts. I mean worse than the merely average level of horror.

P-P-P-P-PONY BREAKER
-
I always wonder how much of this is lawyers sort of forced at lawpoint to act against their employers' best interests. We know a popular pony fighting game is, despite its content, really kind of a good thing for the brand, but there's also a lot of terrible, badly thought out text in the legal definition of copyright that says that when someone even tangentially profits off a fan work, such as by getting positive word of mouth, you have to shut them down or risk losing your claim. I don't know the full details but my feeling is the real blame should go to our back-asswards copyright system and not any actual individuals, as per usual.
-
The "You have to shut them down" rule applies to trademark, not copyright. My guess is that Hasbro may be planning a console Pony game and didn't want this hanging around. Video games kind of have this weird place in fanart. They shouldn't really be seen as distinct from artwork or written fiction, but they constantly get the cease and desists that other works don't. And that's before you get into the nebulous relationships that companies have with fan communities in the first place. (Anyone remember if Fox tried to remove all fan works from the web about X-Files?)

Twilight Sparkle is Miyuki Sawashiro (Puchiko from Di Gi Charat, Shinku from Rozen Maiden, 40 other characters who sound like Shinku from Rozen Maiden).
Fluttershy is Emiri Katou (Kagami from Lucky Star, Kyubey from Madoka).

In a post Pinkamena Zecora Smith world, anything can happen

We should make a thread for most awful thing to name your child without resorting to in-jokes like just "eloH"
"Cassius"
damn it what did I just fucking say

This is already that thread. (http://brontoforum.us/index.php?topic=5746.msg233323#msg233323)
what is it with bronies and kid names
"son, i care about this cartoon more than i care about how you will feel every time you will have to tell someone what your name is"
-
I know a couple who named their daughter after a Harry Potter character.
I feel like that's not so bad, comparatively.
-
I feel like the ultimate irony is that "Pinkamena" is a name with negative significance in the context of the show (and stupidly worse significance within the fandom).

That depends on the character.

So is there anything to that image other than 'reddit pony', or is that the joke?

This literally fucking happened.

CONTEXT(or at least what I've heard of it on the internet): the ponies are singing a song about how it's great to do nice things for people, while running around town doing nice things for people. They run into this brony pony, stare at him in silence for a moment, then immediately move on without doing anything nice for him.
So yes, MLP just dissed bronies.
-
What you have heard is wrong. I checked the actual episode when I saw this. It's during a song about some shit or whatever, the brony pony there gets a flower from a flower stand girl pony and she puts it in his fedora and admires his fedora and they laugh together. Probably called her milady or something, and she didn't even friendzone him.
MLP just complimented bronies.

Reign Productions Premieres Tasha’s Pony Tales Trailer on AVN & ToplessRobot.com
Mainstream & Adult Media Work Together to Promote Adult Entertainment’s First Brony-Themed Movie!
Reign Productions, the studio owned by adult superstar Tasha Reign, premieres its soft trailer from Tasha’s Pony Tales on adult site AVN.com and mainstream media outlet ToplessRobot.com. Tasha’s Pony Tales marks the adult industry’s first-ever “Brony”-themed movie, with heightened interest from both adult and mainstream media.
“Tasha’s Pony Tales has been my most exciting project to date – with a fantastical, Brony-themed storyline, eye-popping effects, and use of my Reignbow Pony Plugs,” says Tasha. “Tasha’s Pony Tales is a unique fantasy adventure, and I’m beyond thrilled AVN and ToplessRobot are helping me promote my film to Bronies and Brony lovers everywhere!”

Shipping on DVD January 10 from Girlfriends Films, “Tasha’s Pony Tales” follows Tasha and three of her friends as they awake, after drinking a mysterious potion, in the enchanted world of Magic Pony Cloud Land. Anointed “anal plug pony princesses” by its people, they set out to conquer the men of the realm in an empowering adventure, chock full of mind-ing action and kink. The Barrett Blade-directed fantasy feature co-stars Rikki Six, Jessa Rhodes, Cameron Dee, Xander Corvus, Eric Masterson, Danny Mountain, Derrick Pierce, and Mr. Pete.
Adding to the movie’s unique charm is the use of Tasha’s Reignbow Pony Plugs, a whimsical line of handcrafted anal plugs with a luminous twist of Reignbow sparkle through their center and a vibrantly colored, flowing ponytail. Reign struck a partnership with novelty manufacturer Crystal Delights in September to create the innovative anal plugs, which serve in Tasha’s Pony Tales to transform its female cast into magical, fornicating fillies.
