Not because I was 11-13 years old and enjoying a show aimed at younger kids, but because I was 11-13 and possibly (naïvely and unbeknownst to myself) interacting with grown men who were interested in a show that is aimed at younger kids-more specifically, younger girls. I feel like she would croak at the thought of leaving me at a brony convention alone. I’m so grateful for that sort of guardedness now, honestly. She had me in her best interest.

      That's also one of the most manipulative things you can say. If friends just turn their back on you without strong evidence or hearing your side of things then that is terrible. However, using the "you know me" in response to an allegation without providing actual evidence just plays on the emotional connections people have with you. If anything it seems more suspicious because providing counter-evidence should be enough to prove your innocence.

      This is a real psychological thing that happens. Exposure to constant pornographic or positive material can cause attraction to specific things. That's why fetishes and kinks happen most of the time. Also why people say you shouldn't joke about kinks because you will develop it, the brain is basically a separate entity from the person sometimes and development of kinks is a result of that.

      @@tacioob2337 I don’t think there should be different rules for a mentally disabled person. My mentally disabled ex-best friend started dating a 14 year old when she was 20. She also heavily sexualized child anime characters. Mental illness isn’t an excuse to sweep things under the rug, ESPECIALLY pedophilia. There’s never an okay excuse for that.
      The only pedophiles I have even an inkling of sympathy for are the ones that were groomed to be that way by childhood sexual exploitation themselves, which makes up roughly about 40% of convicted pedophiles. But even then I have trouble being sympathetic to them, as they know first hand the harm they’re putting children through. So, sympathy gone.
      As a society, we CAN’T let the mentally ill or disabled get away with atrocities. I saw a story of a boy with Down Syndrome who repeatedly groped and assaulted a specific female waitress. People let it happen because of his handicap, leading to what I’m sure is trauma and resentment in that woman. Disabled people are part of the world, and while I think there should be more measures taken to understanding and helping the mentally and physically disabled, it helps NO ONE to let them figuratively get away with murder.

      Below 14-15 years or so is a matter of protecting the pre puberty and the mental state of the child that cannot consent.

    Some people started hyping it up as a troll, other people joined in ironically to make it go viral, then as new people discovered it, they didn't understand the compliments were from trolls and they actually got legitimately into the show.

The idea of cute cartoon horses getting horribly murdered was still a new concept at the time, which is why it became so infamous in the first place.

    I genuinely struggle to understand this fandom. I'm 36 years old, my daughter who is 4 loves the show. Sometimes if she's watching and I'm otherwise bored I'll watch a couple episodes with her. Like its a cool show, with really likeable characters and mostly on point feel good messaging. I actually rather like the show -- to a point. At the end of the day its a kid's cartoon and after about two episodes , the fact that its target demographic is not me quickly manifests itself and I start getting bored watching it with her. Like I can understand a grown man liking this show, perhaps really liking it. I still really like old school Rugrats and Doug episodes from my own childhood for instance, but to get this deep -- especially to develop a sexual perversion around it I really really don't get.
    ** Edit 04JUL23 **
    As I stated in a long winded reply below:
    - There is nothing intrinsically wrong with an adult liking a show who's target audience is children (I even gave examples above)
    - No.. A fandom is not dictated by its worst members, however its worst members are often the most vocal and the de facto face of the community. I contend that unlike other fandoms around kids shows, the MIL fandom does a very very poor job ostracizing its creeps.
    - As adults, its our responsibility if we like shows like this and feel inclined to seek out other people who do, to modify our behavior online and off to be age appropriate for that communities target audience. I myself run DND games as a hobby usually for adults, but on the occasions I knew I would have minors at the table, I ensured the session was age appropriate for them (both from myself and other adult players)
    - Generally speaking however, I feel that obsessing over one fandom or another as an adult is indicative of deeper problems. Its unhealthy in my opinion for anyone, especially an adult to have aspects of their identity tied up in these fandoms.

      About that trash guy who groomed kids, well the fandom is very big so some horrible people being in it is practically inevitable and the fact many children are also fan does increas the risk. But I am not sure what can be done about that. The Cartoon Fandoms are mostly online, so people could live in diferent cities, countries or even continents. So you really can't do anything to stop someone from doing something terrible when you are 2000 km away from them. And since is mostly online is very difficult to know something like that is happening at the beggining, until messages and chats are liked. I think the only thing you can do is complety denounce the ones who do that with no apologies and just hope the police do their job.

They were works of art. But I also love things like Pixar animation films, like WALL-E, Inside Out, Tangled, Brave, Shrek, and there's a lovely Irish movie company that have made some really lovely animated cartoon-movies, like 'The Book of Kells', 'The Song of the Sea' and another one about wolves I don't remember the name of, with mythology and Irish music in it. I specially enjoy stuff like that if I'm depressed or anxious, but also if I'm really bored.

    I was the target audience (8 year old girl) when I first watched the show. I was only doing it ironically and to hate on it because I was a pretty big tomboy at the time. To my surprise I liked the first episode and watched more until I eventually considered myself a big-time fan. I even dressed up as Rainbow Dash one time for Halloween. I think a part of the reason it became so popular is because despite it being aimed at children it doesn't baby or talk down to them, and the lessons they taught actually had substance to them. Many of my friends also really liked the show because of this and even my current friends who I did not know at the time also said they watched it growing up. I was a part of the fandom and liked the music, fanart, TH-cam parodies, ytps, etc. and somehow I don't think I ever stumbled across anything weird. I lost interest in it at about 14 but thankfully I am able to say that it was a very fond part of my childhood.

      I first noticed the show in 5th grade and honestly I had a similar reaction as you. I saw it so often while scrolling on netflix and was finally just like "Alright bro lemme see how bad this is" and then I actually ended up liking the show a lot. I actually started by watching rainbow rocks the movie instead of the actual show first which was kinda confusing lmao but I think it actually got me to tolerate the first season of the show because the movie was a lot better than the first season lol and I think that if I had started with that I woulda quit the show immediately.

      And... like, so what if it was directed at girls? Why is it that nobody bats an eye when shows directed at boy audiences attract girl viewers, but not the other way around?

    but i don’t think the weird and creepy people in the fandom can define the whole fandom. i love mlp and im part of the fandom even though im a 17 year old girl, but i love the show because i watched it as a kid and it brings back nostalgia and the show really makes my mood better when i watch it. the fan made animations and stories are also very interesting to me and i can tell how much hard work was put into them. there are some really great people that make mlp related content and i hate that we (normal bronies) are sometimes grouped with the creepy ones. especially when people judge me for liking the show just because of weird things other people that like the show have done.

    I was a huge fan of mlp when I was 6-10 yrs old and had hundreds of those blind bag figures you’d get from Walmart. Ofc I looked up mlp stuff on TH-cam, and occasionally I’d find some gorey disturbing animation featuring the ponies and would get extremely uncomfortable and upset. Fortunately I didn’t see much of the sexual side of the fandom, but it still scarred me for life watching cupcakes for the first time.

    Have been in the russian branch of this fandom from the age of 12 to the age of 15. Honestly, it was fun. I didn’t know english at that time, so I couldn’t stumble upon 4chan. It was just about watching the show, finding good art and sitting in that kinda weird group called “brony dubstep”(fucking hell xd). Even though at one point of time I was into fanfiction, it turned out great. I unironically read the whole “Fallout: Equestria” book(which honestly, still blows my mind, just the sheer amount of pages and the narrative), and found out about the Fallout 3 because of that. Still my favourite gaming franchise. I guess the russian branch of this fandom just wasn’t that bad…

      Most of the people I watch do actively send reports to police, including actual name and photo of the predator (evidence too). It's just that unless you're a channel that works directly with police on a pedo hunt, your report will probably get ignored.
      I'm not saying to not send reports, but i am saying that most of these pedos get maybe 8 years in jail if police actually DO something. I have rarely ever seen these bastards get sentences in the double digits.
      And a lot of the time police flat out say they can't do anything, the judge is completely inept or the pedo makes some kind of claim that gets them out of trouble.
      I have seen a few channels that do it for clout, but they're few and far between, just thought i'd explain some of the frustration that comes with actively hunting pedos to get them arrested.
      Sometimes it really just boils down to; all we can do is warn people about them.

      I think that comparison is apt, especially given that the majority of decent people have a vested interest in defending their communities from the perception from the outside that they're all creeps, so turn a blind eye to the actual creeps among them, therefore making it easier for creeps to operate within the community.

I never understood why these communities didn't crack down harder on their own bad apples, but what you've said makes sense. Depraved creeps do some bad shit, and then outsiders just rail on the entire community, meaning the decent members of the group become more interested in defending themselves than actually admitting that these people are creeps and dealing with the issue.

      @@gokuxsephiroth4505 yeah, just my observation as a long time outside obsever of both fandoms. Within the last five or so years the furries have gotten a ton better at dealing with their nazi problem, and attempts have been made to ostracize animal rapists, but it seems to me they still struggle with keeping creeps and zoophiles out - partially because of the somewhat more anonymous nature of fursuits and fursonas. The brony community has dwindled significantly in the past few years, so I think the creeps' access to kids has decreased, but they never really did deal with their creep problem while the fandom was thriving.
