Not trying to start anything but you are aware that there are a metric fuckton of adults that watch kids shows for kids. Like for example dexters lab, powerpuff girls and frankly to many to name. Mind you I would assume a large section of the brony community probably were teenagers and young adults when the show aired but thats a whole other discussion.
Coming from someone who watched the MLP show when it aired in my late teenage years.
Yeah, but there was WAY more NSFW art of MLP than of any other kids property popular with adult that I can recall. I mean some of that is probably do to the fact Bronies tended to orbit in other communities that had a lot NSFW artists in them (big overlap with Weebs for example).
I mean, a good friend of mine watches MLP because it allows her to live through a tiny bit of the childhood as a girl she wasn’t allowed to have due to … well, being trans and being traumatized out of liking girly stuff when she was a kid, so it’s kinda harsh to come here and hear some dude make a connection to a “weird pedo thing”. Especially given that whole groomer discourse the fash keep harping on about. I get that’s not your intention, but bruh.
There are probably for Pokemon. My point is that being a fan of a kids cartoon as an adult doesnt really tell you anything about that person beyond that and consuming kids cartoons as an adult is a harmless past time. The fact that the Brony community got a bad rep due to some people is unfortunate but you could say the same about the anime community, the gaming communty and the furry community etc.
not when pokemon was new. that fandom grew up with the series and hit puberty and got into weird shit. the sus 2010s MLP fans were not 40 year olds who grew up with the 80s one.
I dunno about that, man. But I watched like two episodes to see what the hype was about and just found it boring. No hate to anyone who liked it though.

I don’t remember multiple subreddits dedicated to rule 34 of Dexter’s lab or adventure time.
