There's a new insignia showing up on the sleeves of a small group of military men, but instead of denoting rank, it advertises their love for a cartoon inspired by the girlish 1980s plastic toy called "My Little Pony."
So-called "Bronies," adult men who are fans of the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic," have apparently been around at least since 2010, when the Hasbro-owned cartoon first aired. Within their ranks are "Military Bronies," service members from all branches of the military who share their love of the show and wear the "cutie mark" -- a Rainbow Dash patch on their uniforms, Army Times first reported.

You have serious mental issues and parents should be warned if you live in their neighbourhood.
Seems like an appropriate time to remention this article:
In today’s gun culture, there are many more women, a broader mix of races and a wider range of backgrounds. Instead of being a clean cut poster child of the 1950’s many gun owners are bikers or body art enthusiasts covered with tattoos. Others are fashion conscious while others still are computer nerds. Members of the new gun generation range in age from teens to retirees.
The point is, our culture has changed. And, it has changed for the better. We attract all kinds of people into the gun world because all of the lies about us are easily disproven now that the mass media no longer has control over what people know. The internet has allowed the truth about firearms to get out.

Agreed. Isn't it ironic that a group of people who are constantly bombarded by stereotypes (you know who you are, you crazy violent white trash trailer park rednecks) are doing the exact same thing to one of their own? For shame!
Blah blah blah...I do not care who joins the shooting sports, the more the better...I just don't want someone who is obsessed with a children's show for their own weird fulfillment anywhere around me or my family.

I think the parallels between MLP fandom and pedophilia are rude and outrageous. One is a man that likes a show made to be enjoyed by adults and children, and written accordingly (ok, I've never seen the show, but apparently that's the case), and one is a person that victimizes children for psychological and ###ual gratification. Absolutely un-acceptable to equate the two to each other, just as it is wrong to equate homo-###uality to pedophilia. It isn't to say that it couldn't be the case, but you are basing a case to make a man out to be a monster, on his obsession with a show. Are star wars freeks to be included? GI joe? Trekkies? How about Inspector gadget? Oh wait, is it because there is no violence that it offends? So men must love violence, and women should comb dolls hair, and stay in the kitchen? BULL####.
My wife is fit, hot, and cool. She likes horses, yes, but she likes guns, stereos, hard rock, video games, and never cared for dolls. She is a strong person that never cared for the stereo type society wanted her to fit into, and she is a successful vet, and still hates barbies, and cooking. Why does Harbl have to fit your stereo type? Now I know Harbl doesn't need me to fight his battles, he's quite capable, and frankly, probably laughs his head off at the discomfort some of you have over his Bronie BS, but give it a break already, so he likes MLP, who cares? Now I don't agree with Harbl on some things, and that's fine, but I sure as hell wouldn't accuse any of you of being a pedo without evidence of it, and I think the sensible thing to do, for a thinking gentleman, is to edit such comments out voluntarily.
If it turns out anyone is a pedo, I will lead the mob to their door with a torch, but until then, chill the f#ck out already. If you go on statistics, they are already taking care of your kids, and you think they are outstanding people, with no sign of their inner monster. After all, why would they want to look like freaks, better that they look like coaches, priests, entertainers and counselors...
Thats fine...I am covered in tattoos...
Comparing tattoo'd and pierced people with an adult who LOVES little girl shows...LITTLE different.
