I've been a cartoon fan my entire life. For a while there cartoons were pretty bad. However, recently cartoons have become very intelligent and clever. Unfortunately, accompanying this has been the addition of crudities which would not have been tolerated a few years ago.
"Friendship is Magic" combines the best of both worlds. It has all the intelligence of so many contemporary cartoons with none of the crudities. No farting. No references to mucus or any such thing. It's one hundred percent family friendly. And there's nothing political on it. I have no doubt whatsoever that the people who make the show are 99.999% liberals, but there is no liberalism or political ideology whatsoever on the show. It's fun, it's innocent, it's intelligent, and it's very entertaining. What's wrong with watching a show you like? I personally have no idea whatsoever what is so appealing about football (baseball's my game), but do I go on rants about how brutal and stupid I think football is? To each his own.
The brony community, whatever their political orientation may or may not be, is extremely talented. The musicians certainly have more talent than Lady Ka-Ka or whatever her name is. The videos, art, comics, and fiction is first rate. I am currently in the process of reading a series of fan fics that could have been written by Tolkien. This stuff is unbelievable! I wish I had that much talent.
Yes, there are some freaks in the community, just as there are in all communities. But to shoot off your big bazoo about how "conservatives" are appalled at bronies is to pick an unnecessary fight and insist on a point of conservative "orthodoxy" no different from the people who say that conservatives "must" support smoking, or those who used to say that "true conservatives" had to be opposed to Israel.
The show harms no one. It isn't liberal (even if it is made by liberals). It's just a nice little cartoon show with a creative and dedicated fan base that spans the political and religious spectrums (and whose producers are very supportive of their fans). It has nothing whatsoever to do with being a Democrat or supporting Barack Obama . . . absolutely nothing. That idea exists only in the minds of some anti-bronies (and some leftist bronies).
I suppose it was only a matter of time before some "true conservative" tried to label me a "leftist" because I prefer FIM to all the idiocy elsewhere on television. I'm facepalming, people. I'm facepalming big time.
I'm a brony. Live with it or get bent.
“I’m a brony. Live with it or get bent.”
WTF?
You know why people are uncomfortable with this. Be honest.
Well sumbitch. I figured someone was.
I'm a Theocrat and a Theonomic positivist on a site that worships eighteenth century enlightenment rationalists
"Worships", huh? So.. like with shrines and praying?
Are there little pastel colored ponies in these shrines?
What kind of prayers do you say to these ponies you worship?
Can you transcribe a couple for us?
