Current My Little Pony is far stronger than current Update, so definitely anyone a fan of Update now. Update in it's heyday and MLP when Lauren Faust was running it are comparable in quality, both utterly fantastic.

The Update is actually aimed at an adolescent-and-older audience.

So is My Little Pony:

It's nothing compared to my workplace. There's pony figurines and drawings in cubicles everywhere, and in the chat room in addition to all the pony avatars (probably about half the avatars are either ponies or Pokemon) it's full of people saying things like "Good morning everypony" when logging on and giving advice like "Return to the mane screen".

This Forum's preeminent "brony" as a 30-something who calls Lent by another name because he thinks it's too "mainstream".

Uh, no. I'm still a 20something.

You must have a ridiculously high turnover rate

Why do you say that?

Why do you say that?

First, I just think it is slightly unprofessional, immature and most importantly find it cringe inducingly unfunny. If someone said return to the mane screen, I think that deserves a punch in the d1ck. The majority of men would prefer to talk about sports to kill time, not about an animated pony show. Just as you would probably look for the exits of a conversation if people were perpetually talking about 'the big game', I just simply couldnt be around people "zany" co-workers.

Thing is my job does not attract "normal" people, and if any do get hired they usually don't get promoted (and thus aren't using the chat.) It's uber-nerds galore, also plenty of things like Star Wars Lego sets around desks and transformers toys decorating an entire cubicle, slso a lot of them are also scene and go to the same shows I do. This is the type of workplace that actually needs to pass a rule saying that Nerf guns aren't allowed in the building because too many people were complaining about being shot by them while working and the reason they weren't banned sooner is because the people doing the shooting were mostly management. To give an example just from today, not only did someone come in wearing a Pikachu hoodie (basically this), another guy got the idea to draw a Pokeball on some crumpled paper and throw it at him.

I'm trying to figure out why ~30% of the forum is bronies now.

Man, you know I'm not exactly a "brony", but you realize the alternative is BushOklahoma?
Well at least we are in his target audience, unlike My Little Pony.

Lauren Faust said she made My Little Pony for adults.

MLP's target audience is kids.
