Why are *some* bronies attracted to horse flanks?

[Deae Rising Shine~ 58,572]

I like the ones in the show. If you blame the flanks of them, blame the designer

[Magpie 624]

Because. Attraction is really hard to explain. Just roll with it. Like, I'm a pansexual, do I know why? Not really, It's more of a thing you feel, and can't really be explained. Same with being attracted to ponies, it just is.

I'm sorry but sexualizing ANY cartoon character is vile! I've had enough of this rule 34 excuse, more should be done to ban it!

Well... good luck with that...

[Jeric 46,890]

Try and read a civilized conversation about cartoon fantasy butts and ... boom.

 

This is why I can't have nice things.

[galaxysquid 2,122]

Or you could just leave it alone. It's not like what other people enjoy is somehow hurting you. Not to mention a ban like that would be impossible.

 

You're very right... leaving this alone would probably be best.

We have to bring the butt back into the discussion.

What episode is that? Lesson Zero? Some other episode where the library is a mess?

That was Sonic Rainboom as far as i remember.

Right, Rarity telling Twilight to go magic a solution now so we can cheer for RD. Smack!

 

Rarity wins. Friendship! </Mortal Kombat II>

A lot of times, many bronies (hopefully and thankfully not you) sometimes shove many pictures of ponies' poor flanks, or even make a lot of jokes regarding such things.

 

Why the attraction to flanks and plot(s)?

 

This topic seems to be predicated on an incomplete thought. What do you mean by "shove many pictures of ponies' poor flanks"? Shove them where? I'm assuming you meant "in everybody's face", but it could mean "up their asses" for all I know.

 

Flippancy aside, I'll assume you're not asking why people clop so much as the general fascination with posting humorous pics focusing on pony butt. Long story short, it all boils down to the word I just underlined. Many bronies are comfortable with sexual humor. And when one tends to like a form of humor, one tends to combine that humor with stuff they like. Bronies who enjoy dark humor tend to bask in grimdark like Cupcakes etc., and bronies who enjoy sexual humor (who are quite numerous, I assure you) tend to find humor in stuff like Molestia (RIP in peace).

 

It may not be your cup of tea, but I hope you discontinue your holier-than-thou tone on the subject and respect senses of humor that differ from your own.

 

There are two problems with that the first one is called the first amendment

 

In his defense, he appears to be British. Us brutish Yanks and our silly "rights", eh? Eh?

[Shanks 10,817]

I think it's because of the way the ponies are designed.

Their butts are shaped perfectly and have no apparent flaws. (i.e, too fat, too curvy, etc.)

I think the ponies butts are actually fairly curvy myself along with being proportioned quite well which does indeed help fuel the attraction for a lot of people. The ponies do in fact have curves just like humans do even though their proportions are different from human proportions certain subtle similarities also factor in.

I forgot about that but it does still stand and does remind me of why I am glad I don't like in England. America may be becoming a police state but England is even further down that authoritarian rat hole than America is.

[Mae Borowski 356]

Because they bare a resemblance to human butts, and people like butts. Attraction is a weird thing. Asking why somebody is attracted to any one thing is a bit futile, just accept that different people will be into different things. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

i see what you did there haha, yeah it does resemble the human butt so there are some people out there who be like 

 

 

everybody has different views on the body haha

Best overall response ... here is a random RD pic.

I don't think anything divides FIM fandom more than this subject... -

Wanna see things go from "Love and Tolerance" to "Hate and Intolerance"? Bring up clopping. 

 

I'm not a "clopper" myself, but I love a heck of a lot of the incredible artwork. I actually find "cloppers" (also those with waifu's) usually to be the bronies which more closely embody "love and tolerance", and I'd rather hang out with them. 

 

Very vocal, self-righteous anti-cloppers imo are just the same as very vocal, self-righteous anti-bronies. 

 

Clop artwork isn't hurting anypony (or human, lol!), therefore I believe they should be perfectly entitled to enjoy and indulge in it without fear of hate and prejudice.

Why are some people attracted to Sonic Characters?

 

It's just they're thing. I've heard all sorts of reasons why some Bronies are attracted to the pony's flanks from the show. They all seem valid to me, but honestly, I don't care what someone else is interested in as long as it does not violate someone's rights.

 

And an interest in the flanks on the show doesn't violate anyone's rights, so I could care less.

 

Also, I love how there seems to be more topics of this nature after the clop crackdown.

Ok I Know im not going to change your opinion but let me try

I am a 13 year old guy and am currently reading a clopfic

First of all at around the age of 10 or 11 most kids already know about R34

Second of all unless your using Bing You will NOT find R34 and unless you specifically look up R34

Just some logic and my 2 cents

That isn't necessarily true. For one, if you type in "Nightmare Rarity" on Google, you'll get a lot of detailed R34 pictures of her along with a "r34" suggestion search at the top.

[Thrashy 2,800]

Uh I'm guessing they aren't gonna lock this

 

 

But for serious, I'm not sure the original topic technically violates the "no clop threads" rule, as it's not about clop so much as funny pony-butt pics (or so I assume). But given that the focus seems to have been shifted to cloppers and that the potential for flaming is quite high...yeah, probably a doomed thread.

Wait wha--WHAT!

Ok So we're talking about the danger of kids looking up R34

Where The hell in the show causes a kid to think of looking up "nightmare Rarity"!?

[Yellow Diamond 7,579]

This thread is illustrative of why we forbid topics about clopping.
