When the Jolly Heretic met the Bronies

 


Edward Dutton finally takes on a jolly topic. Yes, in 2022, he actually posted a clip about - wait for it - Bronies! I commented this peculiar American (and to some extent European) subculture before. It consists of adults who like the children´s show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (MLP:FIM). I didn´t know it was still a thing, though.

Unsurprisingly, Dutton reaches the conclusion that many Bronies are autistic and have a strong nostalgia for childhood, when everything was more black-and-white, innocent and predictable. Or so autists tend to think.

Dutton believes that in reality, the Bronies might have had traumatic experiences in childhood and become "stuck" in the pre-trauma phase. He also notes that a very high percentage of MLP:FIM fans claim to be transsexual. And yes, the suspicion that Bronies are really paedophiles is never far away in this presentation... 

Still, a fun diversion on a dark Sunday evening!

  3. Det fanns ju en ironisk grupp på Twitter 2016 som jag tror kallade sig "Bronies for Trump". Deras symbol var en bevingad tecknad ponny i samma pose som den nazistiska örnen!

  4. Har tydligen förekommit bråk mellan stalinistiska och fascistiska Furries också...

  5. Får till och med turerna kring splittringen mellan KFML och KPML-(r) att verka normala.
