Not Brittany publicly labelling her brother a bronie. 😭😂
Wowww can’t believe she outted him
She mentions it in the video where they make dog treats on her channel and he CLAPPED BACK immediately 😂
@@loganwaffle lmao, I'll have to watch that one
@@loganwaffle “that is so not true🧍♂️” 😭😭
then says his name LOLOLOL
Jenny Nicholson’s video feels like taking a class about Bronies, and this episode feels like attending a study group for that class where everyone gets kicked out of the quiet room at the library for laughing too loud.
So true 😭
Lol true 😂
YES LMAO I LOVE THIS
I was gonna mention her video. It’s so good and introspective? (If that’s the right word)
I haven’t even watched the episode yet but for some reason the fact this is a part 1 is sending me into orbit
it is ridiculous 😭
When I was in HS I dated a brony and became one myself. He went to bronycon and I was so heartbroken I couldn't go because my parents said no. Moral of the story, parents are right sometimes
this is my favorite comment
Honestly good for your parents hahahahah
Damn I’ve had that sometimes. I was mad because my parents wouldn’t let me go to the yugi oh tournament because they wanted me to help at my aunts cleaning business.
It got busted for laughing gas that weekend and I had no clue because I hadn’t met these people and my friend told me at school that he pulled up and a shit load of cops were there 😂.
Imagine going to fucking play a stupid card games and getting ejected from college for drug charges.
lol it's such a brittany thing to say that instead of saying she wants telekinesis as her superpower she wants to be able to pick up objects like the veggietales characters 😂😂😂
IM SCREAMING
As someone who was groomed as a child within the brony community, I have to say thank you for finally helping me laugh at the community itself without feeling embarrassed for what happened to me. I was nervous to watch this one but I laughed harder than I have in a long time. Thanks y’all ❤️
u deserve to laugh and heal from that ❤️
it must take a lot of strength to laugh at such a shitty situation, hope you’re doing well
@@LaiBaMuGou maybe so others don’t feel alone and so more people are made aware that it’s even happening
@@andrealongbottom3869 Ignore them. It’s just your average reclusive sicko who has never felt the touch of a woman.
@@LaiBaMuGou agreed, not everyone who scrolls through comments should have to hear about other people's trauma, and people shouldn't have to feel the need to avoid comments sections on the off chance that someone has decided to share something the reader might find triggering - which other people might want to consider before claiming that a space for everyone is a space to overshare (thus kind of contradicting themselves)
While I understand why Bronies enjoyed the show they made the community a completely unsafe space for the ACTUAL target audience. Back in the day you couldn't look up your favorite pony without some gore pr0n showing up three images down.
That was the unfortunate side, but we were not all like that, either. Many adult men like myself just loved the show for what it was. Wish Brittany and Sarah could have at least been a bit more respectful to Bronies..
@@JunkieSama stop going to these comments bringing up valid issues with the community and saying “not all bronies” dear god
It’s so disrespectful to victims.
And NOBODY is saying ALL bronies were like this.
Like can people please for the love of god bring up issues involving men without one of you busting in saying “NOT ALL OF US”
You getting defensive over these comments isn’t a good look either,
@@KingOfGaymes I did stop. I agree I was being too defensive, but the whole podcast was just so annoying and made me legit feel like shit just for liking the show... I know not everyone thinks all Bronies are like that, but some of the comments made it seem that way. It may sound stupid and petty, but it felt like I was defending myself personally in the moment.
@@JunkieSama homie if you feel like you're defending yourself in these comments than maybe you've got something you need to admit to yourself. Or you're getting offended over stuff that literally does not apply to you. Like you said, you're an adult man, what damage are random people online gonna do to you?
This may sound rude but genuinely you need to learn not to take everything personally. People are gonna joke about/full on mock things you like/identify with. but you need to learn to not let it affect you.
@@eminempreg No. I agree. It just annoyed me because I was just so shocked by how mean-spirited their episode was. I am actually normally not easily offended at all, especially when it comes to online stuff. But also I feel like it is my right to state how I feel and try to get those who may think of Bronies negatively to see that they are not all bad. Afterall, some people in the comments admitted that this was their first time even hearing the term 'Brony'.
the 7 branches of military: army, navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard, space force, and bronies
this sent me
Technically it would be The Wonderbolts 🤣
its so sad reading all the comments bout little girls getting groomed.... I'm so sorry yall had to go through that..
Same
Me too. And also sad that people think ALL Bronies did that sort of thing when they definitely did not.
@@JunkieSama you’re really going to ‘not all men’ on a comment about child grooming?
@@miraenofficial Yes? Because obviously not all of us would do something so awful. Not trying to take away from the fact that it DID happen, though, and I am honestly shocked because I wasn't aware that it did.
@@JunkieSama don’t start that “not all of us” bs, nobody is saying all bronies are creeps but many were predators. If people bringing up their trauma with bronies upsets you or makes you think it’s targeting all of them, maybe you need to rethink some things. It is NOT the time to defend.
when she said “MLP doesn’t like talk about communism and socialism, unless it does?!” and i’m screaming “BYE IT DOES!” 😭😭
SAME! like there was a whole ass villain whose arc was that she brainwashed and enslaved a village! 😭
the flim flam twins 🤭
OUR little pony 😌
YEAH IT LITERALLY DOES HAHA XD
LITERLLY
I feel like Brony's are just the West's version of "older man obsessed with cutesy thing" phenomenon that has been a thing in Japan and other Asian countries for DECADES.
This. 100%
I feel like that really explains part of why I love the show so much. I love cutesy anime, lol. But not really in a perverted way 😅 . I'm also gay. Though I also feel like being sexually attracted to the characters isn't necessarily bad if it is treated in a very private way, like with any other porn or fetish. What goes on in people's bedrooms is THEIR business, basically, as long as no one is being harmed physically/emotionally and is consenting.
@@JunkieSama cutesy things are just so fun to watch and enjoy without having to worry about stakes. That's the reason I love slice of life anime, just watching people do stuff and talk is endlessly entertaining to me. High stakes only stress me out so I like to relax and watch something chill.
@@alilordoftheskies5079 Exactly! I love all types of anime, but the slice of life genre is one of my favorites for that exact reason. My favorite of all-time is Lucky * Star 🥰 .
And back on the discussion of MLP, I think it really drew in anime fans in general because it was so much like slice of life/comedy anime, but also had elements of Shonen with the villains and more serious storylines, as well as the continuing overarching story which seems to be an extremely rare thing in Western animation. Consistency even makes slice of life better because it makes it feel more realistic in a way and actually matter.
@@JunkieSama I love Lucky Star! I watch it once through every year bc it relaxes me. Also I found the dub is really good, which is getting increasingly rare for anime.
For me growing up, MLP got me into anime. Since the main 6 are basically magical girls it lead me down the rabbithole of Pretty Cure and I haven't gotten out since.
I was a "brony" in middle school, and still enjoy the show for the nostalgia factor, but I was groomed online and sexually exploited online for YEARS because of the fandom as a young girl
same!! I remember RPing through my OC ask blog on tumblr and creepy older men making it sexual :(((
@@possum7912 I had a kik messenger and ifunny where it mainly happened. I’m sorry you went through the same thing :(
I wasn’t in the fandom but my most toxic partner who wouldn’t take no as an answer was also a brony!!
Why did I think I was the only one. I wonder how many more share the same experience.
Same, I thought I was alone. I hope you’re doing well. ❤️
“I actually would argue that fursuits are pretty covid safe” is an insane combination of words, happy 2022 😂
I’m still a brony at the ripe age of 24. But like others have commented, being a girl in this fandom was difficult and a lot of the men made it weird and uncomfortable w all the sexualization. I literally just enjoy the ponies and music etc.
Freddy fazqueer??!
Icon.
Same! I never interacted with the fandom despite being in it back in middle school, thankfully, but as I got into high school it was really weird to see lots of sexualizing of the characters. Felt like I was gonna get grouped in with those weirdos :(
I was a big MLP fan as a kid which was the early 2000s and before Friendship is Magic. I think I was in high school when MLPFIM came out, and I watched the first couple seasons and greatly enjoyed them. However, I stayed away from the community because I was embarrassed and also a thoroughly creeped out by the sexualization of it.
However, I held a job for a few years working with young children and the MLP knowledge was definitely an asset. Kids were psyched that I could name the ponies. Granted they were also psyched I could name transformers and Pokémon as well but hey it worked out.
yeah:/(im a boy) and im still a teenager and i really love mlp, it’s a bit strange interacting with adults in the fandom as some of them are kind of weird to me, and yeah there’s a lot of sexualization
and i don’t want to say they have been creepy, but just kind of scary, like not right
but a few of my friends like it too and i love it regardless. We have fun and it’s still all okay if you ignore and stay away from that part of the community.
Honestly I rarely interacted with the online community itself - I just used to watch the show and had a couple figurines but other than that not much.
I honestly love their off topic tangents! It’s so natural listening to them talk about real things. I loved hearing them talk about having a routine or Brittany not being able to have one. I know they want to stay on topic but I’d be okay if they just talked randomly each week no topics.
Bruh my most abusive relationship was with a brony. Y’all don’t know what it’s like to get anxiety when you see Twilight Sparkle for 2 years 😂
My abusive ex was obsessed with creepypasta and now I can’t look at Jeff the killer at all so I kinda understand 😭
Dude, same. My boyfriend when I was 18 was a hardcore brony and he treated me like absolutely garbage. Was the most callous and insensitive and emotionally numb person I ever dated. Big yikes. He liked the pink one, I forget the name.
My ex was OBSESSED with ragnarok, I cannot look at Thor anymore
YES IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS TOPIC - a retired pegasister
edit: it was horrible being a young female mlp fan just to see how bronies sexualized the show and young characters. thank you for talking abt it
Same!
Sameeee!! Tho they will always be my go to after a mental breakdown lol
as a former mlp fan myself ngl the term pegasister sent me into a ptsd induced spiral
@@arthurmorgansleftkneecap LMAOOO I HAD TO
@@lilyahahaha no because the emotion i feel when i hear that term makes me borderline manic. same with SuperWhoLock; when brittany said that term on the fanfiction episode I had to pause the video and lay in silence for a moment to gather my thoughts LMFAO
I still love that Applejack and Rainbow Dash basically ended up as a middle aged butch lesbian couple by the end. That’s the representation we all need
i cant wait to see how they’ll handle “the jar”
OH NOOOO I forgot about this 😅😭😭
The jar?
@@BluRoyale I’m surprised someone on this channel doesn’t know of the jar 🫙
@@KingOfGaymes NO.
HAHSJAHAHA
Jenny Nicholson did an IMMACULATE deep dive into the show and fandom
i am absolutely obsessed w the fact that only about half of this episode was actually about bronies and the rest was about geography/keychains/eating disorders
MLP surprisingly does tackle some serious topics like discrimination, first nations issues, etc.
True true
DID not penetrate the 4chan fanbase unfortunately. 🙃rip
i think often when people wonder why adult men liked a show for young (mainly) girls, forget they liked it because the fandom had young girls in it. i was in the fandom when i was in middle school and the grooming and preying on young ppl was so horrific that the fandom for the kids show wasn’t for kids anymore.
That is absolutely horrible and I am really sorry you had that experience... But some of us just loved the show. It was as simple as that. I wish so many sick-minded people wouldn't have used MLP for horrible things like that.
Being honest here, I think we (I'm in the fandom to this day) did much too little to kick those people out of the fandom. "Love and tolerate" got taken too literally, and we (as a fandom, not you and me personally) tolerated people who _shouldn't_ have been tolerated. Obviously the OP doesn't literally mean "if men liked MLP, it was because of the kids" as that's not true at all. But the only acceptable number of those in the fandom was and is zero, and we absolutely did not push hard enough to _make_ it zero.
@@Loganberrybunny Agreed. Honestly I had no idea that there were so many horrible people in the fandom.
@@JunkieSama It's very very context-dependent. You can easily spend your whole time in nice, safe places. I do, but then I'm in the UK and our fandom is maybe smaller and quieter than the US one. Certainly I've been with friends to see MLP movies in cinemas and there's never once been a problem. But this kind of thing should never be tolerated, and it was, too much.
@@Loganberrybunny Right.
me, a european, watching you guys lose your minds over holland/netherlands/scandinavia had me dying tbh
I couldnt really tell what was written, when they were debating which language it was in. Which language was it? I know that americans struggle to tell the difference between dutch, danish, german, swedish and norwegian lol
@@freja9133 so the language was Dutch! Ahah
my family immigrated from the Netherlands to America and the amount of times people would say I was polish/danish/German/swedish AFTER I told them was insane 💀
mlp is a great show tbh. it’s wholesome, funny, cute, etc. it’s truly is a shame that so many weirdos were drawn to it and made a lot of gross shit based on it. there’s plenty of teens/adults that enjoyed it without any creepy undertones, just like any other kids show with adult fans.
my gf and i watched it back when we were in high school (before either of us knew we were queer and trans), and for her it was kinda the first space were she could openly enjoy a very feminine piece of media. there’s a joke about how the bronies that didn’t become incels/yt supremacists became leftist trans girls instead lol. we both have lots of positive memories of the fandom (we were mostly on tumblr), but we won’t ever try to dispute that most brony spaces online were flooded with absolute creeps.
Yes! As someone with social anxiety who grew up watching it its a really great comfort show with the kid centered social/moral lessons. And the fandom was my first exposure to lgbt creators and made me feel normal seeing other gay tweens draw themselves and their gfs ponysonas so casually. Drawing my own ponysona made me want to pursue art and its how i met my best friend 6 years ago.
Its had a huge impact on me growing up and had some wonderful spaces, but its genuinely just so awful the amount of grotesque pornography and fetishes that were plastered everywhere for a what should of been a kid friendly community.
@@Rh-sl2kt and n@zis and trans girls
The fedoras added to the thumbnail was a nice touch for this episode
Can we get Stanley in the studio when y’all film? He seems so funny
They film in LA and he lives in Canada so that's why he's not there, but I agree, it would be very fun
The Lego movies are perfect examples! They were straight up toys that turned into a movie. Hell even the movie Battleship!
my first thought was Bratz and Barbie, though the Bratz stuff was not very well made
@@shycherrygirl How dare you insult bratz movies in that way? /j
Not the live action movie tho, that one sucked
the word 'mudblood' actually has some origins as a slur in Northern Ireland where it was used (still is) as a derogatory term for the child of a couple that is mixed protestant and catholic - stemming from the troubles in NI. I think it was also used as a slur towards the child of a couple who is mixed Christian and Jewish - Just another reason to hate JK Rowling for using a term that actually has origins as a slur lol
everytime i hear abt her i foolishly think "it cannot get worse" and then it does somehow
Sarah’s “imma distance myself” after Britney kept saying it hahahahaha
lmao so i’d technically be considered that if i went to NI- that’s funny to me for no reason especially since my great grandmother is from NI lmao
@@misspelledrain2753 this comment is just so fucking american holy shit
@@TheeEnglishKnight nothing to do with ur comment but i love your pfp
WHY IS IT IN PARTS IM LAUGHIJG SO HARD THAT THERE IS A PART 2 COMING
DAMN Sarah is killing it today.
I agree w Sarah about needing consistency and stability and wanting each day to be similar or have a schedule. If something big comes up, like a job interview, it's all I can think about and stress over until it happens. And then I'm like why did I stress over that so much
Same!!!
yep, if I got an interview at 5, I'd sit there and stare blankly til the time comes, then I'd be 2 h early lol
Just a small correction cause you had me feeling delusional- there were MLP shows before 2000s too. From the 80s on actually. I remember watching one in the 90s as a kid.
Yes! I definitely remember watching the one in 90s also
Yup - grew up with the original MLP then my niece got me into the new MLPFIM a few years back. I'm 41 for reference. Fuck, where does the time go? 😂
I still have some og ponies an old babysitter gave me from the late 80s! Also, am I the only one who remembers ninja turtles being a cartoon first and then all the merch coming out once it was a hit? Sleeping bags, lunchboxes, thermoses, slippers, action figures, etc..
I watched the 2000s ones and had 2000s mlp shoes.
i had friends in primary school who collected the old MLP toys from 80s/90s where they were more horse-like
I’ve been listening to the first episode and truly felt like I needed to tell y’all this story.
Growing up, I was the target audience for my little pony. I was also supper into the comic series because I loved comics and I got the opportunity to meet my absolute favorite mlp comic illustrator at a local convention. I don’t remember this interaction because I was like 8, but my dad remembers vividly. I was her only visiter at the time and we where having a lengthy conversation about my absolute favorite pony that was mostly just me info dumping about her and the comic while she eagerly listened. But a grown ass man who was probably about my dads age interrupted the conversation and was trying to tell me I was wrong about some fact (again, I don’t remember). This grown man began to argue with a literal child, who was correct in whatever the fact was, and my poor father and the artist had no idea what to do. Eventually my dad pulled me away and the guy just went on to talk to the artist instead of me.
Very uncomfortable and I probably suppressed it, as well as a lot of other parts of my experience as an mlp fan.
Y'ALL I was in Baltimore during bronycon 2015 and I went into one of the malls in the Inner Harbor and what do I hear around the corner? HOOVES. SOMEONE WAS WALKING AROUND A MALL WEARING HOOF SHOES. That was my one and only experience with bronies and I wish to keep it that way
only in baltimore😔👊
I assure you, it is mostly just a fandom like any other. We are not all bad or cringey people. Please don't be so closed-minded.
@@JunkieSama They aren’t “close minded”. If bronies make them uncomfortable they’re completely valid in wanting to keep their distance.
@@KingOfGaymes I just think it is wrong to dislike someone for that specific reason. There's no need to distance themselves unless the individual is actually bad. To me it's the same as discriminating against someone for any other reason.
I’m a furry so often times would cross paths with bronies. I know people shit on them (and to be fair, there’s nasty people in every fandom) but I just wanna give a shoutout to the people who are casual fans! I watched some episodes with my sibling when they were little and I can see why people like it! It’s a cute show!
I did witness some shit go down, of course. Fandom discourse (like always), harassing the show’s writers/VAs/any employee really, “clop” on my TL, harassment in general everywhere. Since the show is over I’ve seen way less, but those things are definitely burned in my brain. Would not be surprised if Stanley *did* just write all this from memory lmao
What’s your fursona?
furries AND bronies are all gross incÉl$
@@buggy627 the bear in my pfp! :D
@@twosdaybear very cool 😎
@@twosdaybear 👍🏽 cute
i think the whole getting side tracked thing is part of the chronically-online theme of the podcast it's very on-brand and comforting /srs
me just watching sarahs makeup vid now seeing where she had to be after the video
More research on bronies, lol
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT
I love how Brittany laughs. She just folds 😂
I was part of a Brony club in highschool (2014) and it is shocking how the whole club was made out of ROTC guys and their girlfriends.
As a Swedish person, the geography portion of this was wild 😭 also, maps aren’t proportional, a US world map is going to show the US as proportionally larger to the rest of the world than it actually is. Size wise the US and Europe are almost the same size, Europe being slightly larger and with more than double the population. Also all regions have different cultures, not just languages, although that is also an important factor. It’s very difficult to compare the two.
As a Danish person I can confirm that the geography part was wild😭😂 like pls not the "wtf is denmark then!?" part😭😂💀 I didn't really think people would think the Netherlands and Denmark are the same but i guess they do😂💀
Africa is huge compared to both the US and Europe, but because of the Mercator projection both Europe and the US are distorted to look larger. The earliest commercial world mapmakers were all European, which is why Europe is in the center of most world maps, even though the world is a sphere and literally anywhere could be the center.
As a Norwegian person is was most definitely wild 😂
THANKYOUUU for this comment. Im ngl listening to them talking about geography and equating travelling in the US to travelling to different countries was honestly annoying me💀 I wish they just stuck to only talking about bronies.
You cannot drive from New York to Disney world Florida, it takes at least 3 days.
You cannot drive from Disney world Florida to the Grand Canyon without again, taking at least 3/4 days driving.
Once at the Grand Canyon you can drive thru Texas for two or three days to get into California, but it’ll take you another day to reach Hollywood, and if you wana see the Golden Gate Bridge be prepared to drive another day at least, but you can get to Vegas from Los Angeles quickly…about 6/7 hours 😂 that’s how large the states are ❤ I’d love to visit Europe and take advantage of the trains to visit all the countries I wish we had that kind of transport here.
I had to explain to my grandparents and aunt and uncle that my baby cousins (huge mlp fans) could never go on the internet alone bc grown men love to post Fluttershy hole. And I will never forgive the bronies for that.
But we were not all like that. It is sad, and I am sorry about the negative experiences you had, but please understand that some of us just loved the show. I love Fluttershy like I do any other cartoon character from my childhood. The only difference is I was already in my 20s when the show started.
@@JunkieSama ok..
The pain of liking fluttershy and just thinking she was cute. All the neckbeards who wanted their "shy submissive waifu" FLOCKED to her
@@eminempreg And? They did like with any of the others, lol. Just saying that I think of her like my beloved childhood characters. Nothing more.
You have weeaboo in your name, so don't you feel the same way about your favorite characters? Anime characters are sexualized all the time. I mean, there is also a time and place for that, as well. To each their own as long as they aren't hurting anyone. I will openly admit I have plenty of 'husbandos' from anime 🤣 . But didn't feel that way about MLP.
@@JunkieSama oh my god dude please shut up
Y'all should have watched Jenny's in-depth dissection of the fandom in preparation 😂 it answers many of the questions you've asked yourselves in this podcast
The fact that it's "Bronies: Part 1" is the funniest thing ever
As a furry, we usually refer to fandoms like bronies as "furry adjacent". Things like sonic and even pokemon can also be considered adjacent.
I think one of the best parts about the furry fandom is that it isn't tied to any particular property or media or "text" as you said lol. It's literally just animal people that come out purely from our brains, heart and soul 🐶
bronies are just in-denial furries and i will die on that hill. a lot of them have a lot of internalised furphobia lmao
tbh I think it also helps when a lot of people feel uncomfortable with a franchise, whereas furry is a make your own space thing, which allows people to carve their space and curate it appropriately.
Furries are a subculture in their own right, whereas Bronies literally co-opted something intended for a very different demographic and aggressively invaded that space, making it unsafe for the children it was designed for. I grew up in the 80s with the original MLP and tbh, the whole Brony thing disgusted me.
@@lucyjane3803 Nicely put. yeah.. .I narrowly avoided getting groomed as a 13yld by it. ... Still learnt about fun things like fart fetishes (?) pony horse butts fetishesand a literal neo nazi who claimed to believe in it religiously 🥲🥲man what the hell. He was prayin to Celestia everynight
We watched the brony documentary in one of my film analysis classes…. As someone who was in high school during the height of tumblr fandom popularity (I’d say circa 2012-2015) I understood a lot more about where the people featured in the doc were coming from in their love for the show vs my peers who just made fun of people throughout the whole watch. I never was into MLP, but as someone who was very into other big fandoms at the time i appreciated and understood the intensity to which someone can enjoy a piece of media, especially a “nonstandard” one
I watched it too a few years back and I completely agree with you. Not a Brony (well, Pegasister) myself but grew up in the 80's with the original show and have nieces and nephews so was introduced to the new MLP. I also watch Spongebob. I like how cute and sweet and silly these shows are and they make me smile. I need that break after a good horror marathon or binging Breaking Bad and Ozark 😁.
As a Dutch person it is always so funny to hear Americans talk about other countries especially the Netherlands. People always think we talk German, that we are a part of Denmark and they think Amsterdam is the only city in the Netherlands. Its always so funny how little people in America know about countries outside of America
i’m american and yes we are stupid.
@@aliciau.6955 you are all in my thoughts and queer prayers
i’m british and it drives me insane that there are americans that genuinely think that everyone in england knows each other because it’s such a ‘small island’. don’t even get me started on the fact that they think there’s a singe ‘british accent’ lmao
This + Jenny Nicholson's The Death of Bronycon video i gonna be all I need to understand the MLPverse
Someone should be cartoon animating the moments when they start spouting random hilarious scenarios at eachother that make them start to wheeze 😂😂😂
gm- fursuit maker here: most fursuits are designed to have great breathability because they can be so hot. Some even have battery powered computer fans (comp fans for the smaller size) in them to aid in airflow. Icepack vests, lycra bodysuits, and handheld fans all help keep us cool while suiting!
Woahh I never knew that. That’s so smart.
As a danish person I laughed so fucking hard when you two started talking about Denmark, scandinavia, and all of that. America should seriously start making geography mandatory
As a Torontonian, I love that Brittany says "Toronto" the way we do -- "Toronno," -- she'd fit right in here
Bronies rlly found a way to make a show for YOUNG CHILDREN about HORSES sexual and they made the fandom unsafe for the kids??? It was made for???
After reading these comments I feel like it was chosen BECAUSE of the group existing for young girls… they were able to join those spaces under the guise of liking the show to then groom the young girls that already existed there.
BUT WE WERE NOT ALL LIKE THAT!! Yes, some used it for horrible reasons, but is it so hard to believe that some of us liked the show because it was good, entertaining, and meaningful to us?
@@JunkieSama it’s not hard to believe but personally, I saw safe spaces for very very young kids invaded by bronies. Not all of them were predators, some of them just loved the show. But it is still very odd that a whole part of the fandom made it so unsafe for children who the media was actually made for. That’s all, I’m not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular
@@JunkieSama can you stop “ not all men” ing to peoples real life traumas of being groomed and targeted by p3dophilia all over the comment section. It’s unnecessary and invaliding to some very serious issues. I get that you have a sentimental attachment to the fandom but the last thing SA/grooming/p3dophilia victims need is comments like this
@@JunkieSama STOP COMMENTING THIS ON THESE COMMENTS. NOBODY IS SAYING ALL BRONIES ARE LIKE THIS. You’re being so disrespectful to those who were victims. And You getting so defensive in so many comments criticizing bronies makes you look pretty creepy.
The fact that Sarah's Ginuwine joke went ignored KILLED ME.
I got into mlp gen 4 when I was 11. I'm 23 now and I have an apple jack tattoo and have recollected over 100 ponies of all generations. it's like, 50% of my life.
Slay
omg I follow you on tik tok what are the odds I’d find you here?!
Brittany having dill pickle chips and Sarah having jerky is just such perfect character detail.
I am a 21 year old AVID doll collector, and the questions about "whats the weirdest place on the internet you frequent" had me gagged lol
You would be shocked at how little the overlap between bronies and furries is, the cultures ironically couldn’t be further apart
Teen titans go is a perfect example of a network giving in to capitalism
There actually was an episode on communism, basically a bunch of ponies in a special town were having their cutie marks taken away and replaced with an equals sign. Basically the mane 6 came in and got everyone their cutie marks back and even risked losing their own, it was honestly a powerful and beautifully done episode
you mean authoritarian communism?
I understand NONE of this but yes, absolutely I agree.
@@caleboop1814 LMAOOOO
Like recently or in the eighties?
@@AlexFallotnova47 I think it was the beginning of season 5 for the 2010 show
I definitely thought of the bobs burgers episode about the “Equestranaunts” 😂😂
YESSS how they called the equest-esticles
I actually used to watch the guy that "bronconious" was based on. I don't think he'll ever live that down.
31:09 In Equestria Girls (the version where they enter the "human" world and go to high school), their sports team is called the Wonder Colts.
When Sarah asked what the sacred text of furrys was the only thing that came to mind was the anamorph book series
PLSSSSS “My dad was never the same” TSA BROKE HIM 😭 10:20
OMG IM GOING THRU MY MLP PHASE AGAIN THIS WAS SO NEEDED
as a british citizen, i can confirm brexit actually stands for brony exit. can you understand the outrage now?
rewatching this bc its one of my favorite episodes but sarahs makeup looks so fucking good. i'd love to see tutorials or like grwm with sarah, i feel like it's an untapped audience you'd like to get into because of just how good you are and you've said you like makeup and are passionate abt it ! :DD
I actually prefer when you guys don't know anything about the random tangents you go on, it's highly entertaining to listen to you speculating wildly. 😅
I absolutely love Sarah's makeup in this one, I feel like it fits her so well
They fully didn't mention the 90s series of transformers cartoons where every weekend there'd be a new episode and by Monday the latest character of the show that was revealed has a toy version of it on a shelf at Walmart or wherever mass produced mass advertised products like these go.
even like he-man/she-ra or voltron!
@@SabrinapicsTV didn't watch he-man or she-ra but I did watch voltron and I'm pretty sure those were more an 80s thing which makes sense why they wouldn't be as familiar
@@josetheseeker Yeah. I believe cartoons in the late 70s to 80s were usually made solely to sell toys. But the trend has continued since then, of course. And surprised they didn't mention Pokémon. Though it was originally a game, it spawned the extremely popular anime and card game, as well as an infinite amount of merchandise. It also is still one of the biggest media franchises in the entire world.
@@JunkieSama yeah honestly the only real reason I know is from back when I used to watch robot chicken the original seasons were almost exclusively toys from those eras
If this podcast ever stopped I wouldn’t know what to do with my life
Sarah is looking absolutely stunning in this episode!
DISCORDD IM HOWLING AT THE MOON ‼️
Sarah being self-conscious about being 27, meanwhile I’m just sitting here being 30. 😭😭😭😭
almost choked on my water when sarah read 2012 as “twenty twenty twelve”
as a person from The Netherlands this epidose really changed me
omg part 1!?!?? i’m excited
on memorial day, this is what our soldiers fought for.
The first time I ever found out about MLP:FiM was from my male friends (in our last year of high school lol.) I thought they were joking coz they were so excited to talk about it. Honestly all the bronies I knew irl were either into adult humour cartoons or neurodivergent. I liked MLP as a kid, and also enjoyed FiM and I'm not ashamed of it lol
I only found out about it from a brony in my high school, too. Interesting times.
Nothing like staying up until 1AM just to listen to this podcast
1 AM for you 1 PM for me
I'm on the treadmill at the gym and Sarah just dropped the Veruca Salt line. Trying not to absolutely lose my shit in public 🤣
literally watching this on my lunch break and the amount of derailment from the topic never fails to
make me so happy. i love you both
i was into mlp when i was like 11-12 and the amount of horrifying things i saw from the bronies/other adults in the fandom is sad.
i can't believe we're on episode TWENTY ONE!?1?!1 and i mean it when i say i look forward to this podcast everyyyyyy week!!! y'all have the best topics & discussions :)
I used to be scared of watching my little pony because I thought it would brainwash me or something cause I didn’t understand why old men were obsessed with it 😭😭
OMFG this is sending me 😭😭😭
my first thought when they said mlp was man loving pony
"Are there any children who go to Brony Con?"
*Tina Belcher has entered the chat*
Sarah’s Genuine line did not get the reaction it deserved
“Part 1” LMAOOOOO
She-ra is a huge example of toy-driven shows. Even when it was created in the mid-80s it was designed with consumers in mind. That's why all the names are wild (Spinerella, Netossa, Glimmer, etc.)
So glad to see that Sarah is back in the studio! It makes me so happy to see them feeling so much better.
This feels like the two-part mid-season episode that leaves you hanging on by the edge of your seat for a week
Hey just so you know, your content would be more accessible for disabled people if it had subtitles! Love everything you put out
you can press the cc button in the corner to turn subtitles on!
While listening to this episode, my boyfriend walked into our bedroom and went “bronies? Oh I know all about that shit, I used to be one in like sixth grade” so thanks to both of you for that 😐
YK JETS WATCHING THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING
I will never forget someone at a panel in Bronycon brought up princess molestia in front of some of the shows voice actors
I remember when they went absolutely feral when a love interest for Twilight was introduced lmaoo
HAHA OMG FLASHBACKS
41:21 Martin Luther's 96th thesis was actually all about furries but that one fell off the door so no one read it
I was 12 years old in 2012 when I became a brony. Can confirm, lot of very unstable people and more grooming than I'd care to look back on. It was no party growing up out of school with only the internet to turn to, and I definitely didn't keep good company %70 of the time.
It feels so rad to have seen the hype for y’alls podcast before it started and to have watched each episode as it comes out I’m so glad y’all did this and I got to see it from the start 🥺
