Didn't we already have a documentary with the exact same subject?


I was hoping for something more than a repeat of the previous documentary. Blah blah "we like a show for little girls and we're proud of it", blah blah "society needs to change and we're in the trenches fighting the good fight". I guess it's nice to have Ashleigh Ball in the movie, but other than that, it was an absolute pain to watch all of this. It's message is the brony slogan dragged out to over an hour of different people saying the exact same thing. I guess if you're COMPLETELY unaware of the fandom, it may be somewhat interesting, but as a brony, you're basically getting the same thing repeated with different faces.

Seriously, WHAT was the point of this movie that the other one didn't already cover?

And those two psychologists... The thing that bothered me most is the fact that they didn't disclose the sample size in the movie. Maybe it's just due to my lack of experience with documentaries in general, but I'd think that disclosing the damn sample size IN THE MOVIE (instead of having to look up the study afterwards) is the single most important thing that they didn't do. The relative percentages they disclose means nothing (or *should* mean nothing) to anyone if we don't know their sample size or sampling technique.

Yes, Bronydoc but it was in 2012... and was only focused on the bronies. now this is more interesting because Ashleigh Ball, but the rest is just a bunch of autistic bronies with some "oh so progressive" state of mind.

These people who made this movie don't know the real fandom, the real community and just select the same sociopathic bronies to expose : the drones. lurking in conventions and doing nothing creative but bragging about the fact they watch a little girl's cartoon.

can we have once and for all a movie, or something that is related to MLP FIM and the philosophy of the series, why it works, how Anon use it? Why people draw and make fanworks?

Never, there will always be a Bergstein or a Zimmermann to make something like
"Oh look at these guys, they are so open minded redefining masculinity dressed in pink~"
