I don't really get the fanbase. Maybe the cartoon is well made, I didn't care for the two episodes I watched but I'm told it gets better after that, and if you like it? Hey that's cool, nothing wrong with that. Are you an adult male? I haven't watched it, maybe it has those little hooks that appeal to people who aren't its primary audience like other cartoons.

What bothers me is the vocal fanbase seem to act, like they think they're this generations version of Punk or something. Maybe it's just the internet skewering our view of this.

I think the internet is definitely responsible for how popular it is, it's so easy to spread word of mouth over the internet. I just think it also tends to highlight the weirder fans a lot more.

Yea, but that's true for most things.

Funny thing is, i used to enjoy the older MLP a few years back (Nancy Cartwright voiced one of them), people would mock me when they saw it in my "watched" folder on youtube, then all of a sudden i'm a wannabe Brony and a G1 fag for watching it, and all these people who mocked me are watching the new series & absolutely adore it and claim to watch G1 for nostalgia purposes.

Makes me laugh how attached some people have gotten to a show that aimed at girls (yes it will have sub context like all kids show to keep the parents amused, but this is just abusing that privilege)

Also a lot of Bronies claim to be friendly & welcoming, when i was at the MCM Expo in February they were happy enough being noisy gits singing their songs clogging up the corridors -.-
