Appallingly sexist article about 'Bronies'

All the while, as these pathetic sissies giggle like school girls over magic unicorns that spray rainbows from their horns, real men – and women – who have put aside the temptation to retreat into a frivolous fantasy world are tromping through the wilds of Afghanistan. Such young adults, some younger (in years) than the “bronies,” are protecting all of us – including these pathetic weirdos. It makes me want to wretch.

I am willing to bet that there are fans of the show that serve in the military.

"All the while, as these pathetic sissies giggle like school girls over magic unicorns that spray rainbows from their horns, real men – and women – who have put aside the temptation to retreat into a frivolous fantasy world are tromping through the wilds of Afghanistan."

Typical Breitbart -- liking ponies is bad, killing civilians in order to expand the Amerikan Empire is good. And given how many conservative Amerikans take the bible seriously, i can only take his comment about retreating into fantasy as a case of unintentional irony. Bronies may have their flaws, but i'm pretty sure none of them pray to Twilight Sparkle when the shit hits the fan.

"It makes me want to wretch."

That's "retch," you fucking semi-litterate turd. Stopped reading after that.

So basically "How dare men not like stuff that's on the approved Man List."

I hate this idea that if it doesn't involve tits or killing then men aren't supposed to watch it. I hate the idea that men should only spend their time doing things that make money or get them laid.

I honestly don't get the hate for Bronies. Some of them can be dicks about it and the Rule 34 stuff can get utterly bizarre but (to paraphrase Terry Pratchett) Bronies have never smashed up a train belonging to rival fans and it seems to be one of the more creative fandoms out there.

perpetuating outdated gender roles

working off of incomplete information

comparing any average citizen to soldiers

spouting homophobic nonsense

Good God, how dare men do anything for their own enjoyment without the express approval of old irrelevant fucks. I watch the cartoon, partly becuase I enjoy the cute horse adventures, and a lot because it infuriates people who want to tell you how to live your life.

This guy....

"Can you imagine that guys are actually not lusting after women? ...... watching girl ponies..... Real men....... Real men do real things....."

Ok, lets just skip the obvious. The author is one of these people where you can say that his homophobia is in the way of his sucess.

I mean, seriously, is he feeling threatened by my little pony people?

Then, the dillemma for real men? yes.... real men do real things..... Let's be precise... Real men do real things, like not care what insecure little ***** write. Clint eastwood, if there, could have watched all the episodes of My little pony, and not given a **** about what anybody thinks.

It's just insecure little boys who go, well, I feel threatened by this, because it ... because of what? All those tender young men who usually watch these shows taken up and not interested? Was the darkroom empty because someone at the swinger club called a my little pony video night, but they didn't invite you?

Yea. Please, do us all a favor, drink something nice and alcoholic, and cuddle yourself to sleep wjhile you cry all the sorrows about these other mean guys to captain kirk.

To answer it with a quote....

"Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know"

The strangest things seem to terrify Mr. Schlichter.

Rattatoskk · 2013-10-09T08:37:50+00:00

I watched the first 5 minutes of the first episode, to see if there was anything to it.

If there is, I'm clearly not getting it.

But that doesn't mean I should tell other people they aren't allowed to enjoy it. If thats how someone wants to spend their time, it's just as legitimate as someone who plays GTAV, watches football, or reddits.

To be fair, everything that Breitbart publishes is 'Appalling'.

ruboos · 2013-10-08T23:15:50+00:00

As MakhSC said, everything on Breitbart is appalling.

I don't consider myself a Bronie. However, my daughter loves the show, and it's hard for me to stay away from the tv whenever she's watching it. It is a great show, and I haven't found myself captivated by a children's show since the Animaniacs.

Kurt is a macho, dipshit idiot. He is from a long gone era where men were "real men", and women were barefoot and pregnant. His article is simplistic, sexist, and rude. And the comments on it are fucking amazing! I didn't expect so many Breitbart readers to stand up for the men he calls wussy. Awesome! I'm glad it back fired on him.
