Also, there's a huge difference between posting about homosexuality or religion and ponies. Granted they both lead to mindless-rage-induced-keyboard-face-smashing™, but homosexuality and religion are both controversial subjects in society and are actually issues that matter. You could have a legitimate debate about those two issues (as it's been shown multiple times on this forum). On the other had though, the only sort of argument that could be brought up by posting ponies is something along the lines of "god MLP is so fucking stupid and gay and for 7 year old girls" "no it's the best show ever you just never gave it a shot love and friendship" "no fuck you" etc. etc.

Actually, The Brony Following is the greatest social movement spawned from the internet (save perhaps for Anonymous), as it contradicts many of the dominant behavioral conducts with male and female gender guidelines. If a male is introduced to the show and they enjoy it, then following the shows addictive and immersive nature it can become constricting to hide these feelings. I hypothesize that this is because they have just treaded over (for the first time) their Gender Barriers, and might now freely express and enjoy all that pent-up, feelzy shit from the past howzevers long.

If they tell any of their peers, it's entirely likely that they will hate and shun them. Does that sound fucking familiar!? Just because it may not be on the same EXACT level as sexism or bigotry, it is awful close. I doubt you'll take me seriously though, and it is entirely likely that you shall do so for no other reason than because it started with a TV show. SHIT's GOTTA START SOMEWHERE!!
