Since I have a friend who is a brony, I decided to check out the opening, you know the thing you watch before the show and supposed to put you in the mood?
Like the Justice League. Awesome show and an equally as awesome opening, given that it's a brilliant heroic them.
But that was really...wow. It just further makes me question how 15/16 year olds can watch it.
Also, why do alot of bronies like to "ponyfy" everything? Like making a pony of warhammer, starcraft and even Batman. In some scenarios they edit ponys into pictures of them, and sometimes act as if they're in a relationship with them.

I don't know, they follow the physiological path of the internet pretty well. But their persistence, openness, and commitment to the show puts them is a strange limbo of both sarcasm and truthful enjoyment of the show. This has confused me for the longest time, it has been known that adolescent males engage in watching "childish" shows, like adventure time, and other animated series designed for a younger audience. But not on this scale and willingness to express their enjoyment for the show. Their community is unique in that they are incredibly devoted to the show, as your observations of "ponyfication" show. Believe me, I've been puzzled by them for the longest time. I've looked all over the web for an explanation for their odd behavior and nothing has turned up. Not even the bronies themselves seem to know whats going on.
