Well for one, that a “brony” is just someone who enjoys the show “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”. Nothing more, nothing less. We are not, essentially, perverted. I mean, sure, some people are, but how’s that any different than any other human subgroup?

On top of that, if you’ve never seen the show, even just 3 episodes, I would highly recommend it. Because even if you don’t like it, it would give you some idea of that which you’re criticizing. You’ll see it’s not creepy or anything. It’s just a kids cartoon that happens to be very good and appeals to adults as well as kids.

Don’t take at face value the concept of a brony based purely on stereotypes you see about them in the media or Internet. Yes, there are perverted weirdos, but the vast majority of us are just people who merely adore the show and what it stands for: the principles of love and tolerance, of open-mindedness about different people & different cultures, of being there for your friends & family, and most importantly of how it is okay to be different than the majority, and equally okay to not be different from the majority.

Everyone has value, and can & should be appreciated for what they bring to the table.

Haha, whatever bro. Maybe understand a thing before you criticize it. Hopefully you’ll learn that someday.

Speaking as a brony, yes, we are terrifyingly bizarre.

Ain’t it grand? ^_^

It doesn’t have one. I was making a joke.

• Hi = High
• Fanta = Fantasy
• Po = Post(-apocalypse)
• Dys = Dystopian
• Fut = Future

Hifantapodysfut = High-Fantasy-Post-Apocalypse-Dystopian-Future.

It’s in the title.

Hifantapodysfut.

Pronounced [haiːfæntʌpoʊdɪsfuːt].

I really like the term “Science Fantasy”. It acknowledges the parallels with Science Fiction but respects how they differ as well.

I figured they meant that as well. I’m just saying their rules may not be as hard and fast as they seem to be presenting them.

Just concepts of a plan.

“Somehow.......Amazon returned.”

Agreed. Getting something second-hand is almost always better.

While I completely appreciate your perspective, I do have to ask: what with how interconnected, not to mention fucked up, the world is today, wouldn’t pretty much everything violate at least two or three of those rules?

IIRC Temu makes its business from super cheaply priced items.

Super cheaply priced generally means either super cheap quality or some really iffy labor rights violations* in third-world countries (I know that term isn’t the term to use nowadays since it’s a cold war relic but I can’t think of a better term—lemme know if you know of one), usually both.

*Up to and including slave labor. (Yay capitalism!)

Here’s hoping they stick to it.

I imagine a lot of people switch, see how hard it is (due to it not being how they’re used to things), and then go back.

Same.

Thank you!

Thanks.

I…can’t tell if you’re serious or making a joke. Lol.

There’s another comment that mentioned a landlord that was published exactly 30 seconds before yours. :P

^{(Please keep in mind that I’m just teasing you. Obviously, there’s no way you could have known.)}

What is “big iron”?
