too many bronies now
If you dare go look it up... but I wouldn't recommend it.
@JonnyWhoopes - I'm a brony, I've watched all the episodes. I just don't express it and make it my avatar because there's so many now.
I'd say that's a pretty traditionalistic/conservative view; also I don't think you understand what the sex offender registry is for.I dunno, conventional wisdom tells me that if a man in his 30s is buying pink toys marketed towards girls under 8, he is asking to be put on the sex offender registry, but then, what do I know...I host cube meets and the bulk of the people coming out to them aren't even old enough to shave yet.
I wouldn't say that "crossover appeal" explains all (or even most) of what's going on. When I watch something like Animaniacs I get the feeling that it's specifically designed as a children's cartoon, but includes some things that will at least prevent any parents or older brothers who are watching along from being totally bored. But this show has a different feel entirely, of something that is designed to be well-put-together and entertaining, almost without trying to cater to a specific demographic.I already realize that the bulk of half-hour animated shows that have been broadcast in the past 20 years have a huge amount of crossover appeal, especially since the bulk of the jokes are actually quite adult themed [...]Wakko: Sure, but you'll have to wait a while.
I'm sorry ;_;80's MLP cartoon
I've heard that an earning gap doesn't actually exist anymore (at least in America!) and that the gender salary differences are due to men being statistically more competitive and ambitious and more willing to take risks.the glass ceiling (ie: the one that keeps their earning potential at 70% of their male counterparts)
I don't really get the feeling that this is actually happening (also: how many kids do you know who are "forced to take ritalin"?). Instead of seeing lots of boys who don't do traditional guy things because they've been brought up to avoid them, I instead see lots of boys who have been told not to do traditional guy things, but want to do them, and thus end up having very little respect and trust for authority. So then you get lots of people doing more drugs and risky behavior than they normally would. If the rules are preventing you from doing the stuff you want to do, who needs rules, anyway?you have a generation of boys who don't get to do things like get dirty, learn to fight, and are forced to take ritalin so they can stay compliant. Hence, you have a generation of boys who are NOT growing up to be men, at least not in the traditional sense.

It's interesting to point out, though, that that was what MLP has always been for most people - something blatantly intended to sell plastic toys to young girls, and with no additional thought put into it. Although this show keeps some of the basic concepts, it's so thoroughly unrelated in other ways that it might as well be considered a different cultural phenomenon altogether. I know someone who just calls it FiM (Friendship is Magic), because it doesn't really feel like the old MLP at all.

If you haven't seen MLP: FiM's soundboard, go check it out. It is awesome.
I've got a GB of pony images
Assuming about 500 KB per image, that would amount to about 2000 images.
Yes? What's wrong with that?
Explain the practical purpose of 2000 pictures.
Theory: Bronies are impossible to argue with.
You tryin' to pick a fight here?
