It's no secret that MOBAFire's community has some serious fans (Bronies) of the 'Generation Four' My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic animated television series by Hasbro Studios. While personally, I've raised an eyebrow to some of the avatars, signature content and thread posts that have become somewhat ubiquitous in the off-topic forums, I was compelled to download My Little Pony - The Movie upon discovering the film featured the voices of Rhea Pearlman and Danny Devito, two actors whom I adore. I also checked out some snippets of the new series to see what all the excitement is about.
Yesterday's Kotaku article about Valve's Gabe Newell, being a fan of the show, includes a short sound clip where Newell admits to being a Brony:
Love it or hate it, after almost 30 years (or more, if you include the original iteration My Pretty Pony toy, intoduced in 1981) clearly, this phenomenon is not going away. As for my interest, I'll continue to appreciate the creativity and chiding between our community members, but Gen 4 won't be making it on my TV watch list anytime soon.
