She sounds like an idiot

There's a difference between little boys liking a "girls'" show, and creepy adult men watching a show about sexualized horses

[wauwy]

Sexualized?

[nuclearcouture]

Yeah maybe that's a bit extreme, I moreso meant they're anthropomorphized and become fetishized for the adult men watching (the ones not watching it cause of their kids)

[kaelstra]

Yeah protip, she doesn't draw them to be sexual, people are sexualizing them because they can.

There is a world of difference.

[nuclearcouture]

I never claimed she was though. My issue is with her turning creepy man-children watching her show into some weird gender issue by equating it with boys watching her show and stuff. It's completely ignoring that they're fucking creepy, and says thinking that it's creepy means you're sexist.

Basically she gave a non-answer to the question so she doesn't insult a supercreep subset of her fanbase... which I can understand, but the answer still makes her look stupid.

Apparently ONTD is full of my little pony stans, though, the way people freaked at me for pointing out the obvious.

YOU sound like an idiot.

How can she control who watches her show? She can't.

[nuclearcouture]

Nothing about my reply implied that she can. Her response equating grown men watching the show to boys watching her show is what makes her sound stupid.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

wow you are really making a name for yourself here as the most hated commenter.

Congrats bro.

It's really just some random idiots and a core group of like 5 crazies who follow me around constantly

[pantless_deacon]

If it were random idiots, you'd be their queen.

In the sense that people tend to be simultaneously bitter towards and obsessed with monarchy, ia.
