And so, that begs another question: Where is the place everything else on the internet came from?

Are you serious?

This.
The appeal is mainly of "haha, look at us, we're watching pink ponies cartoons and we don't care what you think". It's actually quite fascinating to observe. So many people will self-identify as "bronies" in a conforming nonconformist kind of way.
That would make more sense if they really didn't, in fact, care what we thought. Many of them do.

No. Isn't that what
So, you're trying to get people infracted for bypassing the autocensor then?
Why is it hard to believe that some people actually genuinely like the show? And what's the deal with reducing bronies' motivations to the need to conform, i.e. the lowest common denominator in fandom? If you're going to psychoanalyze anyone, at least pick on Power Rangers enthusiasts. Those guys are just weird.
Well that works well for me; I find it weird that adults can care so much about a some book series about witches and the invisible world they live in, I can find it weird that adults can care so much about anthropomorphic cartoon ponies.
Like I said: it's just a supplement for gaydar. No big psychoanalysis necessary. Moving on.

Seriously, I can't tell you. You're better off not knowing anyway.
Like I said, a "sounds odd at first" sense of conformist nonconformism.
Kind of just ironically watching a super pony cartoon show, knowing that people will think "what the heck? Why would an adult watch this?", but don't you dare actually say that out loud! Or maybe saying it out loud strengthens the bond of the "nonconformists".
Key word "some". My analysis is not rigorous, and intentionally meant to paint a very broad stroke. I would venture to say that even those "some" enjoy the brotherhood of "bronies" as a way to go against what other people may think, even if it isn't the primary motivation.

You lost me there.

Because it's a cartoon specifically made and targeted towards prepubescent girls based on a toy specifically made and targeted to prepubescent girls.
I understand when people like cartoons, because it's nostalgic; they watched it when they were 8 or something, like TMNT, or when the target market is not 11 year old girls, but if you're making an effort to watch a cartoon made for kids, especially one of such a specific demographic, and you're above the age of 13, there is something deeply wrong with you.

Man I hope they are being genuine about the pony thing. If they are being ironic then screw 'em. I only brake for genuine bronies.

If you're using the term "anti-bronies", you're taking yourself too seriously.
Hell, when I was past the age of, you know, 12, I was more interested in girls, playing in the park, and stuff which didn't make my parents want to disown me.

Just because something is marketed towards prepubescent girls doesn't make it immoral to watch, nor does it mean that it can't transcend those artificial boundaries. For the record, I've never once had the urge to buy a toy from the show and probably never will, but would never misjudge those who do.
