Introduction
In response to all the negative reviews on this Flash...

Pretty Creepy but Funny Right?

(PLEASE NOTE: I'm not stating I'm an expert, I'm just freely blogging my opinions based on observation.)

The TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" has become hugely popular ever since Lauren Faust took directional control of the franchise.

Faust has worked on some of the best animations on TV, namely Powerpuff Girls & Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

Respectfully enough, she is a very talent woman for creating 'characters'.

And that's what the new show has...CHARACTERS! All charming and lovable characters.

New Word Created: Pony-Phile

But this blog is in response to the term "Bronies"

The urban dictionary describes a "Brony" specifically aimed towards a male who is a fan of the MLP series. This term is not for just the G4 series, but all series.
If one was to break-appart the words, it is formed from the slang word 'Bro' + 'Pony' forming 'Brony'.

However, there has been plenty of NEGATIVE associations with the term.

Typical Myths of a Brony are...

1. They are pedophiles.
2. They are anti-social shut ins.
3. They disparagingly assumed to be homosexuals.
4. etc. The list can go on.

It seems there are way more negative connotations to the word than it leads on.

Some people may casually state they are a 'Brony' but receive negative feedback amongst peers.

I'll admit the show has stirred up nothing unusual in fan-boy behavior. Just the context of the word seems....inappropriate.

Let's say there's a word that explains a fan of the show, be it male. I choose the word "Brony".

And since the word has been officially integrated with the franchise, it's not an appropriate word to express negative connotation.

At 30 seconds in the commercials, kids now know what the word "Brony" means.
They think it's a male Pony.

But say if that "Brony" is a bit more....eccentric about expressing his love for the show by drawing porn pictures of the ponies or actually finding 'sensual' stimulation in the characters.

There should be a NEW word to express people with such...tastes.

"PONY-PHILES"

Makes more sense right? If you were to break apart the words.

The people in this Flash: Pony-Philes. Seriously. It's creepy as hell.

Stages of Brony-Ness vs being a Pony-Phile

Safe to express myself freely, I'm a Brony: if I'm using the word correctly.

I like the show, and I enjoy listening to music remixes of the songs.

But I don't buy the toys, I haven't made unscrupulous fan-art, and I would never find 'horse-ass'...stimulating.

*Just don't see it, seriously. What's with people commenting on horse ass. Yes, there's ass but that's on a horse. It wouldn't make sense. It's not like there's 'camel toe' on those 'ponies'.

In my review, I've made a list on the stages of Brony-ness to Pony-Phillia.
*(slightly edited)

1. Mild - You simply enjoy the animation for it's charm due to the affiliation with Lauren Faust, aka PPG and Fosters. You might also enjoy making fan art and listening to remixes on Youtube such as the well known "Pony Swag".

2. Concerning - Is when you start to buy the toys and make unofficial T-Shirts.

3. Creepy - You behave like the people in this Flash: blogging, forum discussing, and finding....arousal in "horse ass."

(THIS IS THE FINAL STAGE OF BEING A PONY-PHILE)

"Pony-philes" - noun: an adult; usually male, who is mentally, emotionally, and amorously obsessed with the 'My Little Pony Franchise'. Sexual arousal of animated children's characters are usually common behaviors in such individuals. If encountered, proceed with caution.

Diagnosing Pony-phila in Pony-philes
*(slightly edited version)

The show's animation style is nothing new, (It's a FLASH vector based animation) but the stories and characters are quite charming. But how does it stir up such abnormal behavior?

Anti-social behaviors often stem from a lack of security and self-esteme. Most fanatics of any form of Media generate similar personalities.

Due to the show's peaceful and child-like theme, most shut-ins can develop "mental regression" which is like an adult reverting to the mind of a child.

That in combination with suppressed hormones encourages the sensual arousal in any TV show characters.

However, most psychiatrists explain that sexual association can even develop with "anything" and "anyone".

The more "IT" is encouraged, the more the mind becomes conditioned. Therefore, a person might lose all touch of reality of normal sensual arousal. Such things emerge such as fetishes with furniture, shoes, and others.

So it is technically possible for people to be aroused by children's cartoon characters. Because the mind is conditioned to do so. Which is why I'm insulted that people WOULD draw Pony smut.

The show's not to blame.

It's the personalities that were developed or already there in such individuals.

Should you feel ashamed if you like the show?

Absolutely Not!

Just be mindful with yourself, as with everything in life.

Sometimes people can become a bit too eccentric about anything.

It's a very good show. Good animation and expresses wonderful messages for kids.

Animation is art, and therefore, you simply enjoy art.

The music, the characters, the art. All well done.

Enjoy it. Especially what fans have done for it.

But don't masturbate to it.

That's just gross.
