“Unavoidable part of the fandom” see that where my problem is. Bronies are not alone on the internet for drawing weird kinky shit. Not even close. But most fandoms have enough understanding to at least try to lock that shit behind age restrictions. Bronies *should* have been extra cautious considering the intended demographic but instead they seem to have a specific lack of empathy over this issue.

[@mari98_]

Like literally they were shown it in the first couple results right on a simple sfw google search of a character

[@paigekutz8539]

I think that's honestly really well put !!

[@kindasorta123]

Yeah the pointed disregard bronies have for restrictions on NSFW MLP content is unique to just them. It's so weird

[@chewnotchw3]

They really do, I was a young person when the show was airing, aka the target demographic, and I was exposed to so much disturbing mlp related thing that were just free on the internet......I'll never forget.......

[@KingOfGaymes]

Because most of them didn’t care about the actual demographic and gatekept it.. I’ve seen bronies complain about mlp toys and saying the merch is “childish”.. like dude.. because it was made for kids..

@@nathanielcraig3588 men gatekeep everything I swear

[@meowJACK]

@@KingOfGaymes am I reading this wrong? It doesn't sound like they got teased by grown men. They got teased for watching a show that they were too old for (the show was "too young for them"). So if they're already too old for it at 8 then obviously grown men are even more way too old for it... When I read it it sounded like it was their fellow 8 yr olds teasing them for liking a baby show or whatever

[@KingOfGaymes]

@@meowJACK I’m not saying grown men teased them..? I’m more commenting on the general irony that the actual target demographic for this show would think it’s not for them, while many grown men would watch it.. though I might’ve read it wrong as “too old” instead of too young

[@eminempreg]

Side note but Brittany as Applejack and Sarah as Rarity is so fitting and so cute. And even better since they're kinda like an iconic duo in the show and among fans Edit: I will not tolerate this pinkie pie slander

[@eminempreg]

As much as I look back on the MLP Fandom with love and nostalgia omg the nsfw part of it was just uncontrollable. It felt like most fans who partook in that wore their sexual attraction to cartoon horses with pride. I remember in like 2013 or so. This little boy who loved MLP got hospitalized due to bullying or something. And it gained so much traction that he had an official pony in the show or either there was just a lot of fanart to show him he was loved. But of course weirdos went and made porn of him. And it got to the point the VAs and staff of the show were asking them to stop, but they didn't. Cuz what's quirkier and edgier than sexualizing the personification (ponification?) of a 9 year old boy.

[@mari98_]

Honestly I don’t think many do confront it, especially moc in these fandom spaces. we are seeing it more and more but young moc are hella susceptible to going down the alt right pipeline in a very self hating way. Like all these red pill black men podcast are just using alt right talking points to bash black women and black queer folk. instead of confronting Yt male supremacy for their feelings of impotence, it’s much easier and more gratifying (in a sociopathic/sadistic way) to punch down on people even more powerless than them.

[@aspannas]

Well then you'd be chocked to know in Sweden we have a specific liquor store (Systembolaget) that is regulated by the government, it's an alcohol monopoly and you can only buy beer up 3,5% or cider up to 2,5% in the grocery store. Personally I think it's great and it helps prevent alcoholism. Even though we can drink at 18 here and order at bars and restaurants, you can't buy alcohol at the store until you're 20. Drinking age in the US is something I'll never understand compared to other laws, the fact that you're allowed to get a drivers license at 16 or buy a gun at 18 in many states.

I started watching MLP:fim at age 22, I still enjoy it 10 years later haha liking it as an adult is not that deep, it’s just a good fuckin cartoon! but yes I understand why the creepy vocal minority gave the fandom an unfortunately horrible reputation, but most adult fans just enjoy it as the well written show it is (we intentionally avoided anyone who fetishized it). I kind of hope y’all watch it, it’s really not as “childish” as you keep implying, like it’s intentionally entertaining for all ages. teaches good morals and has progressive social commentary, genuinely funny, the characters have depth and real growth arcs, epic villains and battles in each season finale, and if you also thoroughly enjoy a colorful rainbow glittery cute aesthetic then it checks all the boxes! It was a huge comfort show for my friends and I while navigating our chaotic 20s and holds a special place in my heart for sure.

as a side note: they changed the tobacco rule in texas when i was 17, turning 18 (i am 20 now). they changed it bc the vaping situation got out of hand with minors so they changed to 21, however, they had this thing called the grandfather law (if you were already 18 or older when they changed the age limit, you were excused) but they ended up getting rid of that as well so now it’s 21.

[@kaitlynzuniga]

lol yep. they changed it right as me and all my friends became college aged

[@jaygutridge1336]

my state changed it to 21 a few months after i turned 18 and they didn’t do the grandfather law. so i was 18 and could buy tobacco products for a little bit then suddenly the law changed no one would even sell me a lighter for another 2+ years.

[@user-ns2uw2te4i]

Also, another note on that, this law isn’t just in Texas or some states. Trump passed federal law in 2019 that went into effect in 2020. The legal age to buy tobacco products is literally 21 in every single state, and it’s not subjective to individual state law.

[@alien_from_andromeda]

to add to the 18 when the tobacco law was changed conversation, when my uncle was growing up the drinking age changed every time he hit the the legal age, and im just glad the ages are pretty set now with 21 or 18😭

[@juliadupont7252]

I hope there is an explanation to the appropriation of MLP and other online seemingly innocent and neutral spaces by extremist groups because this seems to be a very common phenomenon. There has to be a specific process, studied and explained. You have brought up very good points guys, this was an excellent episode ☺️

[@shannon3662]

Perfect just in time so I can eat dinner and be an iPad kid

[@ryleedee]

Ok yes there are male horses in the show, and Spike, the dragon, is also a boy.

[@ChloeTheJean]

Yall should watch Jenny Nicholsons video about bronies. She was actually a voice actor on some brony (fan?) content, so was kind of a niche fandom microcelebrity. Her insights were really detailed and interesting.

Just got back from the zoo and now I get to pack a bowl and watch this. Best Monday tbh

[@QueenOfCatz9]

The way Brittany said “I know I’m an earth pony :/“ girl I felt that

[@Poisonousivie]

Hi I would love if you guys could some time cover the huge issue with (mostly men) who are lead singers in bands and take advantage of their younger (mostly minor girl) fans. It seems like there is a never ending line of frontmen, or anyone who makes music & tours really, that are later revealed to be predators/sex offenders.

I grew up in Missouri where you can buy hard liquor, wine coolers, and beer absolutely everywhere. Hearing them confused about liquor at the grocery store is wild 😂

[@barbiemarcanthonyyoung816]

Same lol 😅

[@caram227]

I felt the same after moving to Illinois. Like, just at the Walgreens too?? Haha

[@hannahtucker4694]

From Alabama and I've only seen beer and wine at grocery stores. No hard liquor. Even gas stations won't have liquor, only at ABC liquor store. And you can't buy wine or beer until after noon on Sunday. I think in Mississippi they have dry counties that don't sell alcohol at all, ever. But I got some family that make moonshine in Mississippi. No liquor store needed

@@hannahtucker4694 when I was 20 I vacationed in orange beach Alabama and lemme tell you I was SHOCKED that we couldn’t go buy a bottle at like 9:30 pm cause they stopped selling at 9 😂

[@--Danni--]

@@hannahtucker4694 omg actually my dp is a pic I took on that vacation life is neat

[@HannaMathis]

i’ve never been this early to an episode, but I love that I’m early to this because my mom loves my little ponies & i literally buy any plush ponies i find & now i’m realizing she may possibly be a bronie 💀😂

[@urmomdotcom4039]

9:34 Sarah's laugh gives me life lol

[@Getglamwithgraham]

The beef jerky and laneige lip mask on Sarah’s side made me laugh so hard

[@littlefoxglove276]

welp. i'd like to thank this two-parter for unlocking my childhood memories of imagining the 90's/00's ponies (g2 if the google pics are correct?) running/dancing alongside the bus/car during long journeys

[@adelined]

once again begging yall to watch the jenny nicholson video on the brony fandom. it's so good i've rewatched it more than i would like to admit

[@t9116]

what episode does brittany burp so hard she screams for help? 😭

[@MargaretFromQueens]

I have a stutter as well and hearing Sarah's frustration with it makes me feel seen and normal. I understand that it's not that "noticable" to people hearing you speak, but when a stutter happens, I have almost a shock to my brain. It's the internal reaction that's difficult. Also I've lived in NoVA for most of my life so it's always cool to here Sarah talk about all the (shitty) things in virginia

[@JayOniOni]

“Pegasisters” 😂 I choked on air laughing

[@ToughLuckHaze]

“I’m going to speech therapy but it’s not clicking” same girl but with actual therapy

[@anahand4137]

Hey friend. I just wanted to let you know that referring to mental health/emotional therapy as “actual therapy” in comparison to other therapies such as speech therapy and physical therapy can sound invalidating. I’m sure this is not how you meant for your comment to come across but I just wanted to let you know that this wording may be misunderstood and could be hurtful. Genuinely, no hard feelings. I just know that I like to be told when something I say could be hurtful.

[@ItsLitStudios]

Wow so quirky

[@ToughLuckHaze]

@@anahand4137 I didn’t post this to validate anyone, i posted this to poke fun at myself, not anyone else🙃

[@TheJacquelinia]

@@anahand4137 i don't really see how anyone could misinterpret that. no one thinks speech therapy and physical therapy are less valid than mental health therapy, if anything it's the other way around. people just shorten mental health/psycho- therapy to just therapy

[@johan1075]

“…..It changes you….blue waffle changed me”

[@JustOneSpoon]

...I disagree where they say there isn't a double standard. They reference GI Joe when the woman is growing up and Def Leppard when she is an adult. Those are criticisms of liking things that are considered age appropriate; and while those are valid concerns they are not accurate comparisons to the topic. What the article they were referencing actually speaks to is that women can enjoy content geared towards young boys with less judgement than men liking things geared towards young girls. I.E. no one would say its creepy, or ask if she is a pedophile if a 30 year old woman was super in to, lets say a transformers cartoon or GI JOE like mentioned. Now, a creep is a creep... so I am not defending the ones who sexualize a children's show. But, (though I don't understand it) I am sure there are men who truly enjoy the show for what it is. Maybe they are men who feel they were/are not able to express their feminine energy. Maybe they are truly using it as escapism, not sure. But I don't think it's fair to lump an entire fandom in the negative.

[@FuriousDinosaur123]

My coworker and I bonded over a random phrase from this podcast - love you guys ❤️

[@_Glamor]

My favorite pony is Flufflepuff. She's an unofficial character made up by the internet and only communicates through excited gasps and tongue farts. And she mainly exists in youtube shorts and comics, doing a lot of random and stupid; yet adorable shit and committing questionable acts of violence lol

[@iloveblackcats01]

it’s not the fact that these adult men like a “female-oriented” show… it’s the fact these adult men like a “child-oriented” show. it’s the age appropriateness not the gender!!!

[@eminempreg]

Tbh it's not even just that. Cuz I feel you can enjoy stuff that's intended for kids despite your age. Whether it be for nostalgic or aesthetic reasons. I think the biggest issue is just they couldn't keep it in their pants. A lot of them couldn't just casually enjoy a show for kids. They had to sexualize for some reason

[@masturk888]

i used to joke that if i had a racing horse I would name it after those long panic at the disco song titles

[@hoppedupouttabedturnedmysw5456]

you are actually a genuis

[@me-pg5sj]

i simultaneously adore this podcast and love seeing them talk but at the same time I am frothing at the mouth about all the things they don't know/are getting wrong

[@sarahbeth9969]

i’ve never called myself a bronie but my little pony is fr my comfort show cuz i’ve watched it since before the show was even made 😭😭

[@lilystoker6658]

from a former brony myself, I started to watch it ironically... then I realized it's actually a good show. but then I found the porn and dipped out.

[@knitwitchpgh]

That burp at the beginning 🤣 that was a full on Sims emotive face 🤣 bravo Brittany

[@angel4ever35]

I remember I had MLP's before they had the shows but they were the regular horse ones that look like real horses and in the hoove one had a magnet and I could use her hoove to unlock secret drawers in this stable/room thing that came with them

[@tayloryoung9082]

One of the voice actors, Tara Strong, released a song with EG Daily (Tommy Pickles) totally against Trump.

[@jillpettigrew1659]

this took me back to 4th grade when I would look up My Little Pony on my moms phone and just so many pictures of horses with their cooters hangin put would come up. It made me embarrassed to like the show EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC

[@annab.3550]

I'm sobbing into a pile (mountain almost) of paperwork at my kitchen table can't wait to watch this when I clear it and sit down for lunch
