I've already written two posts on bronies, grown male fans who enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. One of which was an assessment on the first season, the other was how important the fanbase is. Now I'm writing a post to answer the internet's biggest question: are bronies the worst thing ever? Are men who stare at ponies the tipping point in bringing down society in terms of what we're interested in. And if so, does that makes them the most hated fanbase on the internet?

Are bronies the worst people ever?

And the Award goes to... Bronies
As the year is ending, from this point on until January or February, I'm going to do my own awards that represents everything in film around 2011 and I have to say that this year has the worst crop of films in any single year in movie history. When the year had been saturated by sequels, remakes and reboots, you reckon it's in the darkest timeline of all time. And that's what it is. Pointing out movies that had made some interest this year and somewhat doesn't.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (season 1)
These days, cartoons are now becoming suited for people who are quote mature. Those of age 13 and over will going to watch a show more likely to have the words Seth Macfarlane on them: those will relate to the I-don't-give-a-shit dad with a hot wife, while laughing and enjoying the poor execution of political satire. While The Simpsons currently declines in quality in terms of writing and story, South Park still coming up the top, I'm here to review My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, apparently the reboot of the toys of the same name that came in with the direct-to-dvd movies and the original TV series in the early 1990s
Why am I reviewing a show that is targeting a narrow niche of 5-8 year old girls? Well because it is not only a show that is based on the toys from Hasbro, but because it is an Internet phenomena. MLP:FiM unexpectedly attracted teenage boys and adult men. And they call themselves 'bronies' (insert uncomfortable laugh). If you thought society has already gone way over its head, then think again. These guys have got good reasons why they enjoyed it so much which is what I'm gonna take note on here.
