My Little Pony General

I got a number of FiM shirts from the website I figure those pictures are from the other day. They should be here tomorrow!

Not gonna lie... I want those shirts a little more than I really should.

who sings this stuff? is it all just /co/ ppl...

Not sure maybe the /Media/ board on Ponychan

Think what you will about Furries and Suiters, But you have to give this guy credit for being able to play this while dressed like that.

furries ruin everything

Your post reminder me of this Video he did

But aren't nearly all the MLP fans furries?

That's a bold assessment.

mfw I like MLP but keep it a secret, not because It's for little girls, but because I don't want to be part of the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE 'brony' fandom.

I feel the same way about FF7 and Kingdom Hearts ._.

I know it's a little confusing how Bronies can hate Furries,

Furries - An interest in anthropomorphic animals
Bronies - An interest in anthropomorphic equines o.O

but I think it comes from 4chan, where many joined the heard.

Then I first ran into MLP on the internet it was on FurAffinity, where I thought it was just a new Furryfad, where furries were Ponifing their fursonas.

Doubt it.

Quoting Ingraham to clarify.

Furry
Textbook denotation: a person with an interest in anthropomorphic animals.
Connotation: murry-purry yiff-yaff.
Reflection: as one myself, I'd say that furries aren't completely represented when they spoken about. They're a group that is somewhat unknown to many because they've heard the extremes and don't hear a word besides that. It's true that some are sexual deviants, but it's also a very accepting group because the criteria for being a furry isn't clear--not to say that there even is any criteria besides liking animals. With a huge demographic like that, it's difficult to label anyone that identifies as a furry with a single idea. Misunderstanding is the greatest downfall here; the weirdos that exist in the fandom are generally the same people who are spreading the definition of the term. They're certainly targeted at public events with news crews that are nearby; I'm looking at you, creepy guy from Anthrocon '09 WTAE coverage!

What I personally find interesting about anthro(pomorphic)s is that they seem to carry with them some sort of personality trait that humans have assigned. For example, we see rats as sly thieves (which makes it all the more interesting that Slade from Shining Force II is a thief). It also gives characters license to embark upon ideas that normal people would find just plain awkward. Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of my favorite movies because the characters all act in a completely human fashion--even dress that way. But they always have some sort of impulse or mannerism that makes them animals.

Surely, furries have a reason to like the characters in MLP:FiM. Perhaps they like it for its actual content of the series itself, rather than the memes that result. 'Cause I've gotten good laughs from the raw content of the episodes so far.

I don't know how exactly "brony" is defined, whether it's as simple as being a fan of the series for its writing/presentation or being a fan of the memes that it produces. I enjoy both, so I guess that makes me some sort of furry-brony: "furny."

But I know some will cringe at the idea of a weird "sub-culture" encroaching upon their little guilty pleasure. >:3

I always saw Bronies as guys who liked MLP too much.

rather than furries in general. Not so much a fan of the ponies, more a fan of the entire universe/show.

Pluck the feathers off of a chicken and it's still a chicken... U

The term "brony' began when a small group of MLP fans on /co/ decided to pull one good raid on /b/, which succeeded horrifyingly well, and (for the sake of not posting a wall-o-text history lesson on /b/), in the end, the 4chan fandom was split into /co/lts and /b/ronies. Ever since, brony has become a generic term for adult fans of the show - not necessarily the conceptual neckbeards who spend 5 hours a day looking for r34 of their favorite anthro/humanized pony.
Granted, they do exist among the fandom; however, while there is some intermingling of furries in the pony community, the number of fans with fetishes for the show's characters isn't the staggeringly high figure most /b/tards would have you believe.

Anyone want some ponies in this? I was laughing so hard at 1:28 from this one video someone made

you dont have to look far to see why furries are as bad as humanity gets. it taints everything with the stench of failure and dog crap

Whoop, changed my avatar after re-watching this scene:
