Opinion of Bronies

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Yep, TNF, Kal and oakvale are all reactionaries.

So, an opinion of adult people obsessing with some kids TV show is now an indication of being either "progressive" or "reactionary"?

Oh please, DO elaborate.

[TNF]

i support the abolition of gendered identity itself.

There is perhaps nothing more pathetic than a grown man watching a little girl's cartoon.

You're absolutely right to bring this up, because I honestly regret writing the latter. I can't take back what I said, but I will rephrase it to make it more reflective of the views I old concerning gender -

There is perhaps nothing more pathetic than adults watching children's cartoons.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

If you really believe (and, sadly, it appears so) that an opinion of adult people obsessing over some kids show is an indicator of being either "progressive" or "regressive", then you are indeed the single dumbest person on the internet, bar none. Quite an accomplishment.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Reactionaries ≠ having taste

What exactly do you consider a "children's" cartoon? Would you consider it pathetic to watch animated films made by Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, etc.?

What makes you reactionary is that you are basically advocating traditional gender roles here.

I think adult men watching Teletubbies and Sesame Street is dumb too......

[BaconBacon96]

It's not so much the fact that they watch the show, it's the fact that they obsess over it to the point of lunacy.

Reactionaries ≠ having taste

Essentially this.

[Mr. Smith]

It's not so much the fact that they watch the show, it's the fact that they obsess over it to the point of lunacy.

And that's why for this thread's purposes, I voted HP.

@TNF: So how do you explain Avatar: The Last Airbender? That's a show that was meant for kids, and yet it covered genocide, parental abuse and scarring, 1984-esque power plays [By Chiang Kai-Shek esque stand-ins no less], and what happens to those who become embittered by war that they become monstrous.

These are topics that any rational adult tend to appreciate in a story in a way you do not expect children to appreciate.

Naturally there is a huge adult demographic, and the favorite character of these grown people is a blind, 12 year old girl.

I'm fascinated by how you'll answer that.


@RFayette:

this Sesame Street? XD

The first is out by Sesame Street itself, and the second is Christoph Waltz interpretation.

Another far-fetched connection made out of thin air?

I don't answer, because I don't give a sh**t.

[SWE]

Being anti-brony is a reactionary position based around support of traditional gender roles.

Indeed it's almost as pathetic as being a Communist in this year of our Lord 2015

Yeah, having actual convictions (as opposed to subscribing to vague, cynical platitudes) is as pathetic as obsessing over cartoon ponies and using that to determine whether or not a person is 'progressive' or 'reactionary.'

You do realize the difference between "watching" and "enjoying" something and "obsessing" over it?

Now that's a very mature attitude!

[Oakvale]

Adults watching children's cartoons is funny and weird. Only on Atlas would this be a controversial opinion that requires TNF to elaborate or justify himself.

What is a "children's cartoon" though? MormDem was making the point that some cartoons can very well appeal to several audiences. It's a perfectly valid argument, and is widely acknowledged.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Does oakvale seriously think it's weird for adults to watch Pixar movies?

Yes, obviously. But TNF didn't say anything about obsessing, his exact words were "There is perhaps nothing more pathetic than adults watching children's cartoons.".

And this along with some other condescending comments confirm where his head has headed...Hint: It's the reason he couldn't give a crap to answer my question.

It has to be there to be that blind to the similarities to BRTD's l'il catchphrase regarding media that has been espoused thus far. So similar that only ONE word has to be changed.

something marketed to children. which it obviously is. you can enjoy something without being defensive or a weirdo about it (not tumblr)

I agree (as I've said from the very beginning, read my first post), but that's not what Oakvale and TNF said.

Calling TNF a "reactionary" over MLP was so BRTD.
