Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

The real creepy ones are the adult female My Little Pony collectors who can't grasp that they're not the target audience anymore.

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

Those sound like the ones who hate male bronies because they "appropriated" the show from "women."

Yeah

My little sister is like eleven and a fan of the show, and when we were hanging out I told her about the "bronies are stealing MLP from little girls" argument. Just to see how she would react.

She looked at me with this "waaaaaaaaaaat???" look. She couldn't believe it.

No, most of these don't care about the show at all, and frequently get bitchy about people wanting show-accurate figures. They hate bronies for appropriating the toys. Because it's somehow their fault that the toy line is focused on the Mane Six, and that the blind bags have more variety than the brushable figures.

Omg, are you talking about cuteosphere?

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

Never having grown up and acting like a womanchild, or sexually fetishizing a show aimed at young girls?

...That's a tough one to pick. Because of the sexual element, I'm going with male bronies being the worser of the two.

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't get the sexually fetishizing a show meant for little girls argument or at least how it's only been aimed at bronies. Like, I get being uncomfortable with it, but it happens in every fandom every (see Pokémon or Disney) and is kept fairly separate from the other aspects of the fandom.

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

If your argument is 'it doesn't happen', then I call bullshit.

Two minutes on google with safe search off should be more than enough time to show you the horror.

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

It happens with all fandoms, tho. To my knowledge bronies are the only fandom that does safe search wraps to get rid of the unsavory results. :/

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

Also how the hell did you get "it doesn't happen" from my post?

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

...did you not read ayrt's post?

Speaking only from my own experience in the collector side, most of us--even the hardcore fans--have long been aware that we aren't the target audience and haven't been since we each hit middle school. That's not why we dislike bronies. Many of us are just sick of the sort of hardcore bronies who not only act like they're the primary audience instead of kids, but like they should have been all along because obviously anything that doesn't pander directly to them is shit. Also, the hypocritical misogynistic and homophobic attitudes that many of them have is somewhat grating. "G3 is for fags!" "Rarity deserves to be raped for leading Spike on!" "Of course FiM meant for us, it's too good to be a girls' show." Also, the constant shitfits whenever anything in the series/merch contradicts their headcanons or doesn't cater to them (okay, so that bit also applies to half of tumblr fandom in general, but still) gets kind of old.
