I love how it seems that everyone who tries to take a peek into the brony culture finds themselves looking too closely and becoming one of us. lol

@swampson It's the proximity effect! Get too close and you're pulled in.

@ickus Doesn't it ever bother you that none of us really know why we're so addicted? I mean I watch other shows because I enjoy the animation/art but, I can't get enough of this stuff.

@swampson Yeah - MLP has been an addiction more than any other show I've encountered. It's a way of life rivaling, and even surpassing Pokemon from some aspects.

@haganbmj Wow, I hadn't even thought about comparing it to the Pokemon craze I had when I was younger. It's pretty close.

@swampson It is, I think this might honestly be more addicting though. I was never as involved in the community with Pokemon.

@haganbmj I was so deep into Pokemon, bro. SO DEEP!!! But yes, this show is more addicting in its own way.

@zarkanorf Oh yeah - So much pokemon. Between the show and the games (card and video), I spent so much time and money on Pokemon related product.

@haganbmj Same here, bro! I was pretty awesome when it came to the actual vidya games (my teams rocked hard!), but the cards I only collected.

@zarkanorf I played local events and such for Pokemon - but after I moved away from the location I just lost interest. I never really got into competitive play with the video games though - wish I had.

@zarkanorf I guess I'm one of the few who never paid any attention to the pokeymans. I see a lot of parallels between MLP and PPG, though, and if Hasbro plays it right this show has the potential to blow gold all over the place for them. (I fear they won't, though, and that saddens me.)

@haganbmj I think it has a huge, huge amount to do with the fact that the creators are actively involved with the fanbase. That's one of the things that really got my attention in the first place.

@starshine Yeah - having so much connection to the community is great and really lends towards a social and active fanbase. I'm really impressed by the show, and it's staff, thus far.

@swampson For the first few episodes, I cared about my addiction. Now I let it roam freely, like a animal in its natural habitat!

@swampson It's confused me too, but I blame Rainbow Dash, since she's so awesome. Also, holy cherries is she pairable. I swear, she's getting everypony.

@swampson actually, i think it's pretty evenly distributed across the love-indifference-hate spectrum. you ever watch the Brony threads on /b/?
Tuesday, 17-May-11 05:12:56 UTC from web-
@nightwillow Yeah, but I'm referring to those that come at it with a more objective point-of-view.
