Poll: Porn or ponies

[Extra-Ordinary]

I wouldn't find either one *too* disturbing but it'd be a touch more shocking to find them watching porn; not for the porn itself, but what people are usually doing while they're watching porn.

 

[FalloutJack]

The internet may be for porn, but I see more bronies than porn-watchers.

 

[Eddie the head]

I got to wonder if the guy who necroed this was searching for it in Google or in the forum search. I don't know witch one is worse.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I'd be like "Dude, gross" if I saw a friend watching porn.
I'd not give a shit if I saw my friend watching MLP.
And I hate MLP.

 

[Hazy992]

I wouldn't be shocked at either, although catching a friend watching porn might be more awkward if he's beating the bishop

Ponies because there is no good reason for them to willingly be watching it.

Why not, other than 'because it's a show for girls!'

 

[Solo-Wing]

Porn or Ponies? Well um....

Well you answered your own question. Its a show that my 5 year old cousin gets should get excited about, not a 20 year old college student. I'd understand if somebody was watching something because of nostalgia, but for a 20 year old to watch that show is as absurd as them watching Dora the Explorer or Ni Hao Kai Lan.

Yeah but why? Why is it wrong to watch a show outside or your age group? I watch loads of cartoons, do you think I'm weird because of it?

I'm just repulsed by it. I could understand if it was a more adult orientated cartoon, or even some action cartoon made for teenagers, but a cartoon for toddlers and little girls? No, that's messed up. As for your behavior, no comment.

It just seems like an arbitrary cut off point. 'Oh yeah it's cool if you watch things outside of your age group... wait that's too far out of your age group!' Not to mention that a lot of cartoons are made to appeal to adults as well as children.

And I'm gonna take that as a yes.

I see your point, but watching cartoons for five year old girls just seems strange, bizarre and creepy to me. Like Norman Bates having his mother's skeleton in the basement talking to him-creepy.

I think that's a tad hyperbolic don't you?

Is it the fact that it's not primarily for their gender or what? If a girl my age (I'm 19 BTW) said they watched Ben 10 or Generator Rex or something would you find that just as creepy?

It is, but you get my point. I'm weirded out by it.

As for Ben 10, that has been going on for years, right? Nope, can't say I would care that you watched it, your just a fan that has gotten older as the years have gone by.

Well I was in my teens when it came out but that's beside the point.

Let's pretend there's a girl my age who has just started watching Ben 10. She's not the target audience in age or gender and would be considered by some to be too old for it. Would you find her as weird or creepy as a Brony?

If you do then what's so bad about watching something not originally meant for your gender?

If you don't why is being a Brony creepy but an adult woman watching Ben 10 isn't?

I don't consider it weird, because Ben 10 is made for teenagers(or that was the impression I got), while MLP is made for 5 year old girls.

Not really, my 9 year old brother watches it and he's been watching it for years. Well then any other cartoon meant for boys

 

[nomzy]

I really would not be surprised at all if I walked in on one of my friends watching porn.
So ponies wins by default.

Then you my friend must be very new to the internet.

Actually, scratch that. - New to society.

MLP is made for 5 year old girls.

We've been over why you're only partially correct here, but ignoring that for a sec, you still haven't explained why this is a bad thing (at least not without bringing your own personal tastes into the debate)

Why would he be new to society?

No, its a show for little girls. Its not objectively "bad", I just find grown men interested in it to be very creepy.
