      As an inveterate weirdo and unofficial ambassador from the weirdo delegation, let me be the first to say that this My Little Pony Stuff ain’t us. I defer to the creep delegation and yield my time.

        I’ll be honest anyone who has ever admitted to being a “brony” was with out a doubt creepy as fuck and that was the last time I ever willingly associated with them. That said I stand by my pervious statement. As long as you don’t mess with kids I’m fine with it, but I probably don’t want to hear about it.

      Look I’m a weirdo of a different flavor and as long as you keep it in the designated weirdo areas and don’t take it to the conventions for kids (being a children’s show), you do you.

    I got a couple downvotes in there for complaining about the cringe brony posts. It was cringe and gross back in the day on Reddit and it’s cringe and gross now, except now they’re probably all pushing 40.

      90% of the people were just there because it was a fad with a huge community which people liked. Definitely a lot of weirdos but it had some really good artists and musicians during the peak of it.

        Yeah, and also it’s just a random trend, like eg beans. You don’t have to like beans or think bean-posting isn’t cringe & still enjoy the memediversity to bloom for a short period of time & then fade.

        It’s about the (shit)quality of the shitposts/memes, not the theme.

    Today is the day I decided to unblock lemmyshitpost and give it another try. It’s going to stay blocked for a while longer.

        Yeah after looking, its like 3 people had a cache and a few others joined in for one offs. Maybe an attempt at the next trend but it didnt seem to catch.

      Bronies, man. I knew one years ago and… Yeah.

      But once my daughter got into the show, I had to admit it is better than it has any real reason to be. And it ends with a DBZ battle out of absolutely nowhere. Also John DeLancie is in it, so it has merit on that alone.

      The New Generation movie was also excellent as far as kids musicals go. Their not-cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit is genuinely catchy.

        Oh yeah didn’t it kind of start having an anime vibe? That’s actually something I would totally dig, glad to hear that it’s just a successful reboot driving it. The ttrpg caught my eye a little while back when I was browsing some game sales so it’s been in the back of my mind. It seems ripe for some really fun stories to play out
