20-something geeks attending a con for a cartoon specifically geared toward little girls is weird and a tad creepy.
Yeah. That.
I can understand Anthrocon (this weekend within my backyard, BTW) and Otakon. But when that niche is narrowed down, such as with the My Little Pony thang, that level playing field just makes the creepiness all the more vivid for someone who isn't within that clique.
And, just like there's yiff and hentai, what makes anyone think that Rule 34 doesn't apply to bronies? And that's where you see a good thing, once seen as nice and kid-friendly, perverted accordingly. The funny part is when bronies are caught with that sad fact dangling over them. That's when it gets entertaining as they attempt the futile act of denial.
It's not that don't understand the fandom. It's just that it can go too far. So there's my little comfort zone of having that false sense of security that there may be Rule 34 regarding a lovely fishing tourney such as Bassmasters.
I need to cleanse my mind. Where's my Hello Kitty DVD set... ;-)
