Yeah, it's a shame really. I just tell people like that to f*** off. Your life will be much happier.

Why would we be else?

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

because humans are creatures that need to connect different things together and form images based on those connections when they are faced with an element that they are not familiar enough with for it to for its own image

Just a reminder... We are still here! And we are cool!

I don't think it's bronies problem but general problem for people in internet communities/fandoms. This is how we are seen by the others. I remember when I explained my parents what fandoms and fans are, they responded exactly as you said "Well, they must be freaks without life". There's no point in arguing, if a person don't participate in communities, he won't get it

I think we should know why these kind of things happen even they are stupid and doesn’t make sense. It is easy to say irrational and rude behaviors are wrong and illogical. These are very easy to refute with little common sense.

What hard is to admit that grown up men watching a girl’s TV show with ponies is an unusual phenomenon and some people might consider it to be “unnatural”.

Men watching girl’s show about magic unicorns are kinda gay for some people, grown up people watching children’s show is kinda creepy and can be seen as lack of maturity for some people.

There is nothing wrong with anyone watching MLP, but let’s just don’t act like we are surprised or confused by other’s typical negative reaction.

Communities are built this way, by bringing people together with the same interests. This is an odd one since people see ponies slightly different. Some see colors. Some see more (like future waifus). Some people cannot accept that. It is just like any fandom, only this one is so extreme it became big (well known on the internet) because of it.
