Except the subject matter of anime fits the demographic(s) that are attracted to it. 20-something geeks attending a con for a cartoon specifically geared toward little girls is weird and a tad creepy. I'm still not convinced the whole brony thing isn't just some kind of elaborate hoax perpetrated by /b/tards, SA goons, or someone of that ilk.
