I like the feminist who takes the time to make it her own personal soapbox about how bronies are MRAs.
Weird, because MLP:FiM itself could be considered pretty feminist (while still having a traditionally feminine aesthetic, what with the bright colors and cutesy flowers and so on).
(which makes it even weirder that there ARE sexist brony MRA hipsters out there. What, it's not enough to actively dislike women, you have to appropriate female entertainment* as well?)
*Yes, Faust wanted the series to be enjoyable for all ages/sexes, however its intended audience is young girls, who seldom have anything decent produced for them.
Despite having said this a couple times before, this is the one thing that will always bother me about a majority of MLPfans: the sexism and the fact that it runs on feminist philosophy, something despised by these people because they run on these cruel strawman memes from Republicans and other socially conservative/regressive folks who have been feeding them this bullshit for years.
This show should serve to keep them in touch with their feminine side, but instead because they're heterosexual, cissexual males they run on one of the memes that also makes them not only so sexist but also hostile towards others; the fact that the three corresponds to the unrealistic image of "manliness", something I beg every young man in this society to stop subscribing to and its image to be rendered to an irrelevant, unreachable fantasy.
You are also hearing this from a cissexual male (more accurately, a sexually inconsistent young male) who has been mentioned to be "manly" several times and because I despise this image and being tied to someone so inconsiderate to others because of this "because we're men" codswallop I purposely rebel from my stepfather's image of me.
All and all, I just wish most fans of this show aren't such meatheads who have to redefine a show targeted for younger girls (though Lauren Faust, married to the great Craig McCracken) as masculine when it's not all. These men seriously can't get in touch with their feminine side and I really hate them. I just in general really hate the shit that has to come out of this show because most of its fans are so insecure.
