US Air Force Confirms Existence of "Brony" Squadron
- Thread starter Fanghawk
- Start date
Well at least it's not in the RAF, so I still have some respect for the pilots protecting my country.
I'm really hoping that someone stumbles in here and mewls "Can someone explain to me why this show is so popular? I don't get it."
Because I enjoy the idea of how thoroughly their minds must be blown right now.

Oh here we go...Worgen said:
The old "You're just too insecure in your masculinity to appreciate some colourful ponies" argument.
I'm sorry, but no. It's a show that is literally made to sell little plastic horses to little girls. Like it if you want, but don't act like you're some kind of paragon of masculinity for doing so.
To be fair, it doesn't sound like the pilots like the show. It's just a patch that was made for them. And the fact that the joke patch was the one they approved is pretty funny. Though, I'm pretty sure this happens more than we realize. Seems like I heard several famous things were originally intended as jokes.
Wouldn't that just turn this thread into one of those bygone Brony threads where people posted gifs, pics, and clips in support of the show? Then again, I always enjoyed just looking through those threads for the trolling and actually funny things people did post.lacktheknack said:

It's because the show is pretty good... and it's so easy to baffle people with, ever three years later.
Nice straw-man you have there.Genocidicles said:
Anyway, uh, wrong; it was produced for the purpose of selling toys by Hasbro.
It was MADE by a team of artists and writers to be entertaining and humorous, which it is. In fact its mission statement (according to the original creator and lead on the first season) was to be a girl's show that doesn't talk down to its audience like most young female's programming does.
At any rate, expressing a loss of disrespect for someone based upon their taste in television, whether it be cartoons, reality shows, game shows, whatever, is just plain rude.
I'm not a paragon of masculinity for watching ponies. I'm a paragon of masculinity who also happens to watch ponies. Totally different.Genocidicles said:
