Yahoo Article on Bronies

So I just watched/read an article published by Yahoo about the Brony fandom. You can find it here.

All in all, I felt as though the article was very fair to Bronies and that CBS did a good job researching and fact checking the information.

However, what really got me were some of the comments under the article.

70 years ago, young American men were signing up for the armed forced to go overseas for years to fight the evil armies of Japan and Germany. Today, their great grandsons are fapping off to cartoons about pink plastic horses originally meant for 5 year old girls.

Ah yes, how shameful are us bronies enjoying such a girly show when our Grandfathers were risking their lives in WWII. You know how else things were 70 years ago? Women were expected to be in the kitchen, barefoot, and pregnant. African Americans were legally not allowed to eat at the same people White Americans were. So don't compare things to what they used to be, because the 1940s weren't that great.

These aren't men.

Umm, yeah. Yeah, we are actually men. In every definition of the word. Male fans of the show have Y chromosomes like all men.

I guarantee Vladimir Putin would not allow this to happen on his soil.

You've got that right! Putin is also a homophobic corrupt jerk, so...there's that.

Actually there is a deep rooted sexual perversion associated to all of this. Many of these "Bronies" have issues with sex and normal social relationships. They come up with many of these "story line" BS reasons to like the show and toys. Realistically many of them want to have sex with the ponies. No joke; look it up; ask a psychologist. It's better than pedophilia I guess. But I'm telling you, this is result of some failure to adapt to the normal sexual nature of society.

I'm loving the pseudo-pyschology going on in this comment, Also, congrats on judging an entire group of people based off of your stupid assumptions.

What this article did do however was once again thrust bronies into the spotlight. We're becoming even more popular, I wonder if that's a good thing.

Yahoo readers aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the box. Pretty much any article will have people making dumbass comments on it.
