Are Bronies Changing the Definition of Masculinity?

I seriously doubt that there's as much creepiness in The Wire or Mad Men fandom as there is in MLP or Star Trek fandom. It takes a certain type of movie or TV show (seems like it's usually sci-fi or fantasy and it seems like it's usually a movie or show that's specifically designed on some level to appeal to social misfits) to create a big population of super-obsessive fans.

Yes there are. You just need to delve deeper. Even the most "benign" fandom has its creepiness.

Surely you're not serious?

I can't fathom any possible way that fans of Mad Men or The Wire can be 'creepier' than people that sexualise animated ponies designed for little girls.

It just isn't possible.
 
I think Xzeon's point is how can people find a hot woman to be hot when there are so many ponies to focus instead

Can't say I agree but what do I know

I had to scroll a ways in the Mad Men tag to find it, but... there's at least one person on Tumblr who wants to start a Mad Men roleplay blog. Woo!

I'm ok with people who fantasize on the adult cast of a tv show.
I can't say the same about people who fantasize on animated ponie's buttocks from a kid show.
 
How can I laugh so hard with such hatred in my heart? GAF, you conflict me.

OK, so how many of those folk do you reckon there are, or that you'll run into in the course of your life? Since this keeps becoming about people who have some kind of sexual interest in ponies.

An informal statistical census suggests within 95% confidence that as of September 2012, there are between 7 and 12.4 million people in the United States that would identify themselves as bronies

But I'm not in the US, so I'm not dealing with them, and I don't care as long as they're not clopping around young kids
 
So? What's wrong with thinking a 19 year old woman is attractive?

Today I discover it is not right to look at pictures of an attractive healthy woman.

I am all about the pones now. Feed me pones!

I think Xzeon's point is how can people find a hot woman to be hot when there are so many ponies to focus instead

Can't say I agree but what do I know

i just think its funny how angry Gaf gets over the people who think Selena Gomez is hot but no one thinks its odd to fawn over this 19 year old athlete.

shes barely an adult, just 2 years away from being a teen.

but i guess thats not weird at all apparently.

I really didn't want to interpret your post as meaning "Isn't it weird that grown men get steamed up over an attractive 19 year old athlete?", but it seems that's exactly what you meant.

Jeeeeeeesus.

Huh? She's less that 1 year from being a teen, but what does that matter anyway?

She's 1. Female, 2. Fucking attractive and 3. 19.

She isn't 1. In a cartoon, 2. A ponie and 3.... well I haven't got a 3 but the first 2 were good.

You're not helping your case here man. Attractive women attract men. It's how the whole thing keeps rolling.
 
Wait! Stop the tape.
Role playing game about a serious serie is as creepy as sexual fantasies on furry characters of girl shows?
Being attracted to hot women is also bad too?
 
I hardly can't contain my laughter that i was about to type out a reaction about the fact that it's normal to think a 19 year old woman is hot.
You're one fine troll Xzeon

Oh come on! they are hardly paedophiles!

Let people like what they want to, leave them to it.

Xzeon's (failed) train of thought:

1- iCarly/Victorious neoGAF thread closed for being creepy.
2- Look up their current ages (this is the mistake). Find they're currently 19.
3- Determine that since iCarly/Victorious threads are "creepy" and that their actresses current age are 19, looking at 19 year olds is considered creepy on NeoGAF.
4- Find current NeoGAF thread where the subject is a 19 year old.
5- Post findings.

Yeah, Xzeon still failed at trying to make a point. He thought people were being creepy towards real people, which could be worse than being creepy towards imaginary things.

Suddenly I am reminded of that controversy with Men Fitness taking pics in comic-con and making fun of fat people in their article.

There are. Trust me. There is no such thing as "non-fringe".

I'm ok with people who fantasize on the adult cast of a tv show.
I can't say the same about people who fantasize on animated ponie's buttocks from a kid show.

They're all fictional characters. It's no more different fantasizing to a.. say... a Pokemon turned into a full human (not anthro). They all don't exist.

So you're telling us that masturbating to this picture :

Is the same thing that masturbating to this one :

No difference ?
 
By using the argument that "they are all fictional", yes. They all follow the same horny viewer fapping to a non-existent character. They have the same mentality of wanting one character (or more) as the object(s) of their lust.

And yes, I am being snide because there is still that air of "everyone watching this show has mental problems" prevalent in discussion.
 
What I think Boss (not at all my friend btw) is trying to say is that people still get delusional when it comes to fiction, such as say girls who think Edward is a real vampire when whats his name actually hates twilight and is just a normal actor guy who wore makeup.

But I also think Boss should give up cause his arguement and Xzeion or whatever his name is argument isn't going to win or even valid.

Frankly I think a good amount of people on this board are delusional. Time to jump ship fellas.

oh nooooooo my terrible secret is out! my entire life is now in shambles.

the only point i was trying to draw was that 19 is still kinda young and all i got was OMG NO WAI BRO ITS COOL LAW SAYS ITS LEGAL SO LOL FUCK U.

the core of all these threads seem to follow a theme, that there must be a ranking system for people and that we are on the bottom below Furries and Sonic fans.

If youre one of these freaks that jerks off to cartoon ponies you definately are below them. Youre worse than peopl in Nambla

We're not even talking about the difference between a 16 year old and a 19 year old. We're talking about the difference between a 19 year old and a fucking animated pony.

It's genuinely bizarre that you feel there's any sort of equivalence there whatsoever.

Seems like a challenge for the folks in the "awesome" fanart thread.

You can also apply that to an adult masturbating daily with Barbie dolls, and fighting 8yo girls to get the last one of a bikini edition at toys'r'us... No mental problem (and in this case at least Barbie is "human") ?

Not all furries are bronies, but every brony is a furry, so yeah subcategory

Where do you see yourself in this league table of fucked up peccadillos? I wouldn't want to disrespect you by erroneously placing you below someone who masturbates over Cream the rabbit or a 19 year old human woman.
 
Nope. Not buying it. Not at all.

Oh, for fucks sake. Where to even begin?

Oh please - even artists themselves, not shows (see Depp fans) have really weird fantasies.

And like I said, I was being snide.

Social problem. Not mental. It's society's expected role being disturbed, not mental faculties of a person. Which then draws towards your previous argument. I see no difference in fictional characters being fapped on to, but you do. See the distinction - because society has expected that.

And no, bronies =/= furries. Imma gonna slap you for associating one or the other like some sort of official nerd ranker. It's as mindless as associating Sonic to furries or being ignorant as saying Gen I pokemon rules.
 
I keep writing replies to this thread and deleting them because they all cross various lines of taste, decency and offense.

I'll leave it at "I can't believe you people are arguing the difference between a human being and a cartoon horse"

also, that Mad Men pic is amazing. Godamn at Peggy. I'm about to start watching Season 3soon.

I don't fantasise about it though.

OK maybe Joanie a bit.
