Do you find teens/adults that watch children's cartoons creepy?

[QUOTE="supa_badman"] There's a difference between being a fan of MLP and going out of your way to buy pinkie pie shirts and dolls and posters and memorizing every linesupa_badman

What's the difference between that and people who buy gaming merchandise like T-Shirts, posters, and remember lines from videogames?

Also...how do you know who Pinkie Pie is?

Well, I don't see what's wrong in supporting something that you like by buying merchandise of it like a stupid little shirt or something. We all like different things and what we do with what we like is up to us whether that is to wear a T-Shirt that supports it or just sing a little song in your head.

Where do you find those bronies? My percentages of them are more in the 5%, really.

.....you know.... I've noticed a lot of bronies got sick and tired of that as well. Heck, on the video for the Season 3 premier practically every Gak comment is spammed and people are telling those who say Gak to pretty much shut up.

Besides, is that really your basis? This one stupid little turn of events and suddenly you hate everyone? That's a little harsh, don't you think?

Need to let off some steam. Time to get in on this action!

I got a couple of shirts about a month ago. One is the "Have a Derpy day" shirt, and the other is a black Wonderbolts Screaming for Vengeance shirt (I also have a bonus bag and poster they sent me). And I really see no problem with owning all that.

If there's a metal band I like, I'll most likely get a shirt of that band. If there's a game I like, I may get a figure or a shirt of that as well.

Exact same thing for MLP. Though of course there's still plenty of over the top fans (as with anything popular). But fans of the show tend to only get singled out becase it's "girly". And that's all the arguments really come down to, while competely disregarding everything else.

I don't watch any of those shows, but I'll watch a lot of cartoons I grew up with, and some newer ones. I still watch Arthur regularly and judging by the comments on youtube videos of the episodes, a lot of people in their 20s do. I'm also quite fond of watching Max and Ruby at 3 am when I'm tired but can't sleep, from a psychoanalysis standpoint. I also like to call Ruby a b*tch.

I don't think it's creepy at all for adults to watch those shows unless the intent is to be able to use their knowledge of the show to bond with children they have the intent of hurting.

[QUOTE="Goyoshi12"]>And to top it off you have your 'cloppers', but need I get started on people who pleasure themselves to cartoon characters that do not even remotely resemble a human?

It's not really any of my business what entertainment people occupy themselves with and far be it from me to judge them. My life is more than interesting enough that I don't feel the need to go on forums and pick at other people.

Fine, leave.

I haven't seen what you're seeing so I can't help you there but if you really don't like it anymore then just don't go back to ponies or the community.

You can leave a community, can't you?

And no, I tend to look more at the people who talk back saying to those people to shut up because they're the ones who are damaging the fandom by spamming MLP everywhere. I've seen many bronies agree on this notion that while there may be subtle (or nothing at all) references towards the shows in other videos and such they urge others to not spam the comments about ponies. I tend to look more at the top comments on youtube or thumbed up comments rather than non thumbed up and spammed comments and underneath those thumbs I'll find several bronies who agree with that person's views on the whole spamming situation.

BTW: How can you be sure that they're "bronies?" This is the internet, anyone can be anything on here and not be who they mean. It's possible there are people out there who "act" like bronies only to give them a bad image.

That depends... If it's something like Boomerang showing Batman or the Jetsons, I like that guy. If they're watching the teletubbies with their hand down their pants then... well... you get the idea. :P

>BTW: How can you be sure that they're "bronies?" This is the internet, anyone can be anything on here and not be who they mean. It's possible there are people out there who "act" like bronies only to give them a bad image. Sheesh.. now this whole brony thing is turning into some conspiracy, fake brony terrorists hell bent on making other bronies look bad. And yes, of course there will be "subtle bronies" because I suppose that's what I would be classed as. Sure I enjoy the show, I may occasionally draw some fan art or look at some other interesting pony fandom, but I can't believe you're actually trying to convince me that bronies aren't completely blowing this whole show out of proportion and turning it into something bigger than it deserves. There are far better written shows out there; Adventure Time for example is a far better written piece of work, but I don't see fans of that getting their own titles such as 'Adventure Timers' and people constantly spamming that everywhere possible, making thousands of fanvids online or music dedicated to the show. This is coming from someone who really got into the show, but when you take a step back and look at it, it's a great show and yeah it's annoying to see the constant "if you like MLP you're weird" message, but to an extent, I can't blame people for getting sick and tired of seeing a damn kids show that a whole community of fully grown adults have overhyped! Yeeeeah, bronies are misunderstood and subtle. No, they're just crying for attention. meconate

Can we just drop it?

I don't think the way you think and you don't think the way I think, savy?

Nah. I liked Avatar, Legend of Korra was okay. Misadventures of flapjack was pretty good (mostly liked the art style), and regular show and adventure time are good every now and then. I don't watch cartoons too often though.

And I won't be told that what I'm seeing with my own eyes ins't true either.

*sigh* Whatever.

as long as cartoons remain one of the few decent thing's to watch on tv, i will continue to watch them.

Asked my mom the same question a few months ago. She's totally ok with it.

I like Regular Show, MLP, and Gravity Falls. Very few cartoons that I like compared to the 90s.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="meconate"] I think it's well known in the Japanese culture. :Psune_Gem

I'd be living there if that was true.

So much Jynx... :o

You know, I actually kind of do. Not creepy... but kind of immature? Like "You guys still find this stuff entertaining?"

Only if they're obsessed. Watching it a little bit isn't bad.

[QUOTE="sune_Gem"]

[QUOTE="meconate"] Dude, I'm sure you can find transvestites in your own country; you don't have to travel to Japan.meconate

But there any transpokeites here? No!

You found a way.

Some shows could be appealing to people of all ages. It's the grown men who watch my little pony you have to watch out for.

No, Pinkie Pie is scary.

I don't like what many of the fans did with Pinkie (Pinkamena). =(

She's cute and fun. Not scary!

I find the entire Broney thing weird, but I try not to judge.

I like Pinkamena more to be honest.

There is nothing wrong with adults who watch kids cartoons i watch them because my kids have them on all the time.
