What's weirder? MLP fans vs. Bushie's Update fans

[Simfan34]

One is a dramatic, unending tragedy of personal suffering, aspirations, and defeats. Romances rise and fall. Jobs are gained and lost. It is a maximisation, an acceleration of everyday life, condensed to the point of surrealism- yet it is entirely real!

The other is a show meant for girls aged 5-11 and describes the goings-on of anthropomorphic magical ponies.

I wanted really hard to the "meaning inversion" thing, but couldn't.

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

I suppose it neatly coincides with our demographic, which is rather telling.

This is arrogant, classist, and flat out insulting to several good posters here, but maybe that's why-

Ugh, can't bring myself to say it. It's for the best.

You, guys, have to look into yourselves before saying that bronies or any other similar devoted followers of any worship are weird. Look, this Forum is full of political junkies and weirdos (I include myself, of course). Not to mention how comedic may be many of the posters around here. Don't play to be 'adult' persons, because many of the non-bronies around here sometimes seem childish as well. Live and let live, kids.

Bullsh**t. There is no equivalency between analysing political demographics and election results and being a fan of a television show aimed at prepubescent girls. None. At all. Now, I say this as a person easily bored by discussions of county-level election results from the 1920s, or how Laotian-American Republicans have voted in primaries since 1976, but there is no comparison. Our best electoral statistician is an PhD-holder elected to statewide office. This Forum's preeminent "brony" as a 30-something who calls Lent by another name because he thinks it's too "mainstream". The fact is that one requires a deep width and breadth of knowledge; a working understanding of statistics, psychology, demographics, economics, and sociology. The other is at the level of toddlers- its damn target audience.

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

Well, shoot. My entire argument just fell apart.

Bullsh**t.

Be careful, you could lose in a moment that reputation so hardly obtained.

My father has a peculiar habit of saying that when particularly irate. I suppose when an oxen's feces is involved, the gloves come off. Guess I picked it up.
