I see what you mean. Whenever I go out with my friends and, say, I want to try something nice-tasting like WKD instead of beer (because, let?s face, the majority of alcohol tastes like a dog?s behind), a few of my male friends scoff at me and say, ?Pfft, that?s a girl?s drink; don?t be such a lightweight!?
And whenever I reply ?So??, they seem fucking bemused, reiterate their point, and say that I should ?stop being a pussy?. Because apparently, one of the girliest things you can do on a night out is not make your throat feel like hellfire by repeatedly chugging horrible-smelling rat poison in the hopes that you can somehow numb yourself enough that dancing in the public equivalent of an epileptic?s worst nightmare surrounded by equally disorientated strangers that you may get lucky with if you play your cards of random chance right.
As for My Little Pony: Friendship in Magic, aside from all the rainbows and ponies and stuff, it?s pretty much your average cartoon show that most kids, regardless of gender, would like. It?s got the same themes of ?friendship conquers all? that a lot of Shonen anime have, and is just as colourful as the near-ubiquitous Power Rangers. But I agree with you in that I wish some guys would just stop acting as if they only like MLP ?ironically? or that it?s ?not really for little girls?.
You like a show aimed for little girls: big fucking whoop. The Simpsons started out as an adult show, and now it?s generally for all-ages. The people that care don?t matter, and the people that don?t care matter. Stop trying to make excuses for your hobbies, because this isn?t high school anymore.
