BastementSparkle 20,328 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 No, any feelings of being "Weird" I might have had about it vanished years ago, I had plenty of time to get used to it. It's just normal stuff to me now, no reason to feel weird. Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums! What have ya been up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,329 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 Nope. Not once have I ever felt "weird" about watching a show about pastel coloured horses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonClaw 8,164 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 Maybe at first, but most of the stuff I enjoy falls into the realm of "weird", "niche" or "geeky", so enjoying a show about colorful ponies learning about friendship is not out of the ordinary. Besides, I'm not hurting anyone, so if anyone has a problem with what I watch then that's their problem, not mine.

Lightning Pixel 34 November 1, 2016 Share November 1, 2016 I think we all did first time around, but with time i just accepted that there's nothing weird with me watching a cartoon... I'm 100% sure, that all people like cartoons, no matter what age they are.So let me ask a question for ya'll: How is watching a cartoon is weird for anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraTakahashi 748 November 1, 2016 Share November 1, 2016 Nah I think it's pretty cool, I don't really care what people think. So no weird here. Plus I've had plenty of peeps say I look cute holding a plushie or in costume. +My life's it's own cartoon show.+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is not watching cartoon but more watching little pony, I also watch spongebob and some other cartoon and nobody is saying I'm weird. But tell them you're watching MLP, and you'll become a weirdo. So to answer your question, it's not, watching cartoon is not weird. On the contrary I'll say it's important to keep a part of "child" in your mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tell them you're watching MLP, and you'll become a weirdo. So to answer your question, it's not, watching cartoon is not weird. On the contrary I'll say it's important to keep a part of "child" in your mind. Well, yeah... that kind of goes with the territory... obviously there are still a lot of people that with think you are weird or react negatively towards you for watching or liking MLP... but honestly.. so what? There are a lots of people that think you are weird for lots of things... the question is why would it make YOU feel weird? IMO the only reason you would feel a sensation of being weird, is if you have doubts about yourself and you own ability to judge what you enjoy properly. Let me ask you this: Do you truly enjoy it? Is it hurting anyone else? And I mean truly hurting them? Disapproval is not harm. Are you in a situation where it is dangerous for you to watch it in some form? Do you owe anybody anything or is someone who disapproves of the show doing something that gives them some sort of say in your life or how you live it? If your answers are yes and three nos, then why care what anyone else thinks? Life is hard enough without worrying what anyone else thinks about how you live yours. Maybe it is because I have spent so much time around people sporting fangs, dressing like Mad Max extras and having appearances and mannerisms that would clear out a room if they walked into it, that the idea of liking MLP and feeling weird for it, just does not register. ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have the same results, but here I'm not saying I'm feeling weird or anything, I'm just explaining why people thinkwe're weird.Maybe I misspoke sorry, I'm not english so my phrases were not clear enough But I do understand what you say and I'm 100% agree, F them if they think I'm weird, I don't give a sht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekySonic 1,150 November 1, 2016 Share November 1, 2016 I did whenever I watched with my family. But overall, no. I feel no weirdness enjoying/talking about the show with others who do. I would just prefer not to watch it with my family because they mostly disliked it, and made rather rude remarks whenever I would put it in. Check out my voice-acting demo reels on Casting Call Club, if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckygamerdx 18 November 1, 2016 Share November 1, 2016 No I don't feel "weird" about watching mlp. My friends said I was crazy. Then I showed them season 4 episode 26 twilight vs tirek, now they say nothing more. And I watch pokemon what helps getting the idea of watching a show meant for kids away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Pip 775 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 (edited) I think we all did first time around, but with time i just accepted that there's nothing weird with me watching a cartoon... I'm 100% sure, that all people like cartoons, no matter what age they are. So let me ask a question for ya'll: How is watching a cartoon is weird for anyone? I worry about getting judged from narrow-minded male family members and I get embarrassed or feel awkward very easily, depending on context.

The Diver 760 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 I think I can honestly say I still feel a LITTLE weird about watching the show, going to cons/meetups, etc. since I would say that ponies is probably the only thing I have an interest in that doesn't fit into the 'manly' territory for someone my age. I've never told anyone outside of the fandom that I have an interest in MLP:FiM simply because I feel it's no one's business but my own. I feel it all stems from my pride and how I grew up with a more blue-collar mentality (despite my family being full of musicians and business majors) while my older sister grew up to be a more creative and educated individual since she went to college while I went to deep-sea diving school. I still love watching the show, going to conventions (when I can. ), and hanging out with other Bronies though! I just have a hard time getting past pride and being able to truly enjoy my part-time geekiness! "I could have been happy above if I'd never donned the copper carapace and dipped my head beneath the waves to hear the muddled man-made sounds. Distorted and dreamlike droning. The whir and thrashing of a distant propeller, the tumultuous thundering thud of fogbound freighters. Mud underfoot, no sights, except the grasp of a diver's trained hand, dreaming of distant lands knowing all the while this is what I love, not the blue skies and wondering faces above. Canvas, rubber, brass, copper, and glass. Leather and lead, mud and sweat, heaving around in dark, damp depths seldom seen by most yet talked about by all. As if a sunny, happy place where mermaids and seahorses play and chests of gold are lain bare, untarnished by salt and time for all to grasp who are bold enough to go below..." -"Deep Sea Diver", Steven L.

Baykush 328 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 Nope, I've never felt weird about watching MLP, even when I found out about bronies without being one myself I thought it was pretty cool that a show like this one had a fanbase, nothing weird about that. However, I do feel weird about little kids watching this show, specially little girls (yeah, I know, the target audience). I guess I just forget MLP isn't made for an older audience and it's pretty strange to be reminded of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow 7,225 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 Sometimes XP I mean.. 17 year old boy watching a little girls show?

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,668 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 Early on? Yes, I felt really weird. At first I felt like I was watching something I shouldn't be. Then this show and the fandom made me realize that was an extremely stupid thought to have. Since then, I am open to pretty much any show regardless of my age and regardless of the fact that I am male. These 'societal' stipulations can burn in a fire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvadel 1,393 November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 It is a tv show, and quite a good one. It is far from the first thing I have watched or participated in where my age group is not the norm. Unless I am aging backwards... I mean I used to play Bridge back when I was in college in 1988, where most people were significantly above my age and now at 47 I watch My Little Pony. 1 Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight.
