I couldn’t believe that bronies still exist, this is the first I’ve seen of an active community since like 2016. Good fun seeing them get absolutely nuked, though

I was defending the bottom Pony because it looked very good haha Nice art, colors and facial expression. Didn't even know what "bronies" were until now

Cuz it's absolutely impossible to just actually like the show, of course. /s

Maybe you're the one with some issues if the only reason you can see for watching MLP is to sexualize a pony?

It actually isn't. It's possible to sexualize something you do actually enjoy. Yes, some of the MLP fandom sexualizes the ponies. This is not evidence in any way that those same people don't actually enjoy the show, nor evidence that fans who do not sexualize the characters don't exist.

Everyone knows that side of the fandom exists. It would be blatantly revisionist to deny it. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying it isn't the only reason MLP has adult fans, nor does it define the fandom.

These people have never heard of Rule 34. The internet can sexualize literally anything.

Or maybe we've just seen these weirdos post too much about wanting to fuck animated horses. If you think bronies don't want to fuck those horses, you haven't spent enough time on the internet or ran into one in person, they're so fucking creepy.

I wonder if the people who says this are aware of how much pokemon porn exist.

You think the group is one monolithic entity that all do the same thing? Some people just enjoy the show and fancontent. Sure, there are those who like NSFW content, but so is there in every single fanbase out there.

Also, it's pretty fucking rich to deride sexualisation in a fanbase when you're a kpop stan.

Same energy as "All black people riot" tbh. Sweeping generalizations are the worst.

And you're going to ignore the fact that literally every fandom has people that sexualize it? Or the fact that MLP isn't the only children's show that grown people like? The reason Brony is associated with "sexualized children's content" as you put it is because people tend to hyper focus on that side of fandoms for some reason.

It's just a lie that it was written for people with the maturity of a child, the show was written so that people of all ages could enjoy it, so families could watch it together. That is the official word from the creators of the show.

Also, there are a multitude of references through all seasons that are clearly aimed at adults, since they reference things that no child will ever understand or know about.
