My Little Pony has gone mainstream...?

[Gecko clown]

Somebody call the papers.Brian Hendershot has breaking news!

OT: they've been mainstream for quite a while now. Exept it's internet mainstream so...

 

[Trololo Punk]

I've seen a couple people around my school wearing My Little Pony shirts. Had a good laugh, since my school could be classified a "hick school" and didn't expect many if any to hear of the whole pony craze.

 

[Itsthefuzz]

Just like Rick Rolling, the pony meme is indeed mainstream.

 

[imnot]

OT: Im to poor and unintresting to buy pony stuff.

 

[nononoiefiewpfoiejofijp]

I like how the models look exactly like the people who would buy these shirts, but fatter.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Also, what grown man would wear a MLP shirt? Just out of sheer curiosity.

I would waer the Vinyl Scratch t-shirt, most definitely.

Spoiler: Vinyl Scratch is best pony, after all.

Come on man, look how epic this shirt is!!

Hell yea I'd wear it.
As for going mainstream, who bloody cares?

 

[Febel]

I would wear something subtle, like a shirt with just a cutie mark on it. Although if there was a shirt with Octavia I'd definetly rock that. Girl can add class to anything.

Lord help us. Now i love MLP. The old 1's. The 1's my my childhood that i'm currently encouraging my daughters to watch rather then Peppa "i want to make her in to bacon" Pig. I watched the new lot for about 5 mins before turning it off and going back to MLP the movie from the 80's. Thats where the real poines are

Edit: though i admit that shirt a few posts above me is rather epic in coolness. Also i'd like to add adluts buying childrens cartoon murchandise is nothing new. The have been thundercat Tee-shirts in adlut sizes for years. I've nearly bought 1 a few times but they r always mens 1 not fitted 1's for women

Each to their own. I have watched a little of the old G1 ponies, and they're the best after G4.

Holy shit, I didn't even know there was Pony stuff for adults. I just went to WeLoveFine and ordered two hoodies and four tees. Thanks for the heads up, guys. Best damn fashion tip this season.

Yeah, WLF has some good stuff. Expensive as hell, but very nice quality.

5 Minutes is a little unfair. I take show by a 3 episode basis. I'm not grabbed in 3 episodes: it's not worth my time.

The look of it turned me off. I don't like the new animations for that or carebears for that matter. If i don't like the animation i won;t watch the programm casue it will annoy me to much

Search for "cutie mark" and you should be set.

Hmm, those are some fun-looking shirts. Might have to pick one up for myself at some point.

As for the whole mainstream thing, I couldn't care less. If you honestly care whether or not something you like is mainstream or underground, that doesn't make you a fan. It makes you a hipster.

Then again, I don't really care about fanboys or hipsters, so to each their own, I guess.

He has a legitimate topic of discussion: the appearance of MLP shirts in the mass market. That's better than a lot of threads have. If you do not wish to participate, you don't have to click on the thread.

Oh sure I'm not participating on this thread. I'm just saying, we could have other interesting topics to discuss here, but instead we are discussing this one. Over and over.

 

[scorptatious]

I kind of thought it was kind of mainstream already.

I remember seeing this one guy at school wearing a shirt that had Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. So I highly doubt the show is in any ways obscure.

You kind've are, though. Twice now, if fact.

Forum topics are not zero-sum.

I do not recall the appearance of MLP shirts in the mass market ever being discussed here before.
