As an adult male I think there are different reasons guys become bronies. I'm sure there are ones who watch to be ironic hipsters. I'm also sure there are some that genuinely like it. Truthfully, I find MLP enjoyable, however I don't consider myself a brony, mostly because I think it's stupid when fanbases give themselves stupid names.

Yeah I know, but any opportunity to talk about it...

But Arctic is right: there's literally no reason for adult guys to watch that show. And I like cartoons (as an adult guy). So take that as you will.
The show has its moments of humor for the grown-ups....

...but it creeps me out a little how intense some of these guys are about it... And I play MechWarrior with bronies...

Yeah, your situation is perfectly understandable, Arctic. Don't worry, I'm not on a quest to put you down. I'm just trying to make sense of one of the most bizarre cultural phenomenons I've ever seen. I don't have complaints with the show itself, because it is great for its intended audience, though I hope your daughter grows out of it and starts loving Star Wars or something soon, for your own sake. >.>

I dunno man, I divide my time between the two most hipster cities in America and I've yet to meet a brony. At this point it's lost most of its counterculture qualities and has become something out of The Twilight Zone. Gravity Falls, on the other hand, is ripe hipster pickings. But God knows "hipster" has become such a broad term it's hard to know what it applies to anymore.

I am apparently a hipster.
This is what I get for listening to Wye Oak and Metric before they were cool.

This is exactly what I mean
EVERYBODY IS A HIPSTER NOW
"I like folk band"
"you hipster lul"
"I wear big glasses"
"lul you hipster"
"I wear mocassins"
"hipster"
"I have a contemporary haircut"
"hupster"
"I like this band, do you know them?"
"no hopster"
"I wear a button up"
"HEPSTER"
The accusations come at no cost, NO COST AT ALL

Sorry CK. I didn't realize you were so attached to the term "hipster."

People I dislike in order of disliked-ness:
1.) Juggalos
2.) Bronies
3.) Hipsters
4.) Hitler
5.) Gingers
6.) Juggalos
7.) Rob Schneider
8.) Anyone who uses the word "ridonkulous"
9.) 3rd graders
10.) Beardless dwarves
It is worth noting that numbers 9 and 10 are essentially identical
