My problem with the ponies is that the people who are the biggest fans shouldn't be fans. I wouldn't have a problem with this if I wasn't "breathing the same air" as them, so to speak (internet air?). The problem arises when 16 year old guys are watching the show like its loving worship of something.
I just don't want to be involved with something like that, it makes me feel like a forgettard for being in the same internet vicinity of them. This makes me think of Monocle, and how he always says that if he's going to hang out with someone, he doesn't want them cramping his style or anything.
Does that make sense?
