Same thing happened to me when I wrote Iron Heart in a Triple Works shirt listing title…..figured it was Seul being spiteful

I think if you're actually a father, there's something to be said for appreciating the new My Little Pony. The themes that they present are wonderful for kids, and little parental reinforcement goes a long way. Now, bronies without children may want to re-think their priorities. Although I still like the ideals espoused by the show, I certainly don't have a rainbow dash t-shirt, or anything.

I work with a few Bronies. They're just people :). The Bronies documentary (yes, it's a real thing - http://www.bronydoc.com/) is worth watching.
jdl I think your point was less around Bronies more around APC but in context of Bronies. Or maybe it was being head-to-toe dressed by his girl? And on first read I imagined a real cat dressed in APCs. Took about 3 reads to realise cat = person :).

A buddy of mine has a bronie for a brother in law. He showed me a bunch of pics of the guy and his collection. I mean, I can't say much with my denim addiction but seriously…. a 33 year old man OBSESSED with My Little Pony. That's some wierd stuff.

Exactly Bags… WTF

I watch a lot of kids tv, since I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old. My Little Pony is far from the worst thing out there. It's actually not bad, to be honest. In the context of kids tv, that is.

There's also a lot to be said for a father that is happy to share something with his daughter and doesn't give a shit what strangers think.

I have zero issue with the show or it's message. I wouldn't have my kid exposed to it if I found anything objectionable. What got me was this is a grown ass supposed to be man. I feel a bit immature caught out in some old Batman t-shirt, say nothing about some obscure obsession like his. The fact his girl got him the outfit isn't so bad, it was the pride he took in the whole thing. I'm not big on "branding" myself, or looking like a billboard anyhow. So all of it top to bottom was horrid for me, but what's worse is even fit wise, he looked like he raided her closet…wish I got a pic now.

Let's be clear, I'm not talking about a daughter when I say girl, I am talking about his girlfriend. They have no kids, I asked. Some may remember my pink monkey bandanna, so I am no stranger to that type of sharing with your kids. Honestly if Allie could, I know I would end up with some Rainbow Dash or Applejack socks or something and would rock the hell out of them. This wasn't that, just a dude with a obsession and a really small t-shirt.
-
Yeah, that does change the equation.
But like Snowy said, whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone else…

I'm not hating on the guy, the look was absurd and he was proud of it, so be it. I just am curious why I can't question what is obviously obsessive behavior? I had a conversation with him to try to understand the why's of it, I wasn't laughing at him.
To better understand the general Bronie mind set, the doco is a good way to go. I don't think anyone was trying to limit your ability to question obsessive behaviour. My initial comments were trying to figure out which bit you were concerned about. /ends direct reply.
"Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes" seems apt about now.
