Why...
Why are men obsessed with colorful ponies.
I'm a little disgusted.

Ponies suck i can't go anywhere without seeing one
Arggghh, people who don't fit into their gender stereotypes! 
because neckbeards
Why do I get the urge to draw ponies every time someone says they hate it. 
Urgh... if you want to complain about bronies here in dA, you found the wrongest place ever. Then the compliant forum, full of internet trolls... but if you want a short explanation...
Don't listen to these bronies or the people who talk positively about them: they are both a bunch of smartasses or a bunch of deluded people. There is nothing of positive about them, and who created the series bronies obsess for.
Bronies are not of sure the disgrace of the world, but they are a small part of it: they are "victim" of capitalism. I say that because producers exploit them as much as possible (it happens often among them, but a fandom, even made primarily of the nerdiest people, has never been exploited so much by producers), but there are factors of why these people are wrong at every point.
First, bronies are extremely egocentrical and self-entitled: you may have found some replies like "we fight sexism" or "we are feminists": well, this is egocentrism. Feminism is proven with manifestation and promotion of women's rights, not with watching a... stupid cartoon full of plot clichès. You don't prove to be anti-sexist by watching a cartoon for little girls. (and, by the way, many bronies whine if you say their cartoon with ponies is for girls). They can't also admit there is much better out there. And even if they do, they don't do it seriously and, therefore, the only reason they will watch cartoon ponies is that they are limited and have to get a label, fitting in an omogeneous group of people.
Many of these bronies are also into... pony porn... i won't point out details, you don't need to know them. some of them also do Tulpa, an oscure tibetian discipline that bronies practice so they can see ponies of that peculiar cartoon in the form of... hallucinations. Well, it isn't the biggest issue: If they genuinely enjoy porn with cartoon ponies, it means they have serious problems that don't affect us.
A big problem is that most of them (if not all) are extremely hypocritical and intolerant people. they say this catch-phrase: "love and tolerate", but they think everyone else must tolerate, while they can say anything they want (so, they are egocentrical and self-entitled). Is there a clear and public proof? Yes, there is.
There is a fan-made character called Derpy. the author noticed it and implemented it in the cartoon, but Hasbro changed his name because it seemed ableist. Bronies went mental for this... where did all the love and tolerance go? They weren't happy, they also had to find a scapegoat: one casual person who is Yamino here in deviantART (i'd say at the same level of bronies) also expressed his/her dislike towards the "derpy" name, and because of this, he/she had to suffer all the brony rage, indeed, he/she became the scapegoat of the derpy drama. What a squalor.
And with all these stuff that happen among bronies, what does the authoress, Lauren Faust, plus her crew, have to say about them? That they're awesome. She says the complete opposite of what they actually are. She has even taken part of the documentary about bronies (it flopped for obvious reasons).
So, these are bronies in a nutshell. What do you expect by a fandom composed primarily of internet nerds? The fandom has even started in a site full of mentally deviant people. And we also have a producer who exploit these people for a little popularity. Faust has got instant popularity: she has chosen the easy way to handle this. And now she got a big head and thinks she's a kind of celebrity, because people in general like to feel important in some way, and bronies are a perfect example. They are bronies because they are the same people who don't do anything in their dull life but playing videogames, watching anime and peculiar TV series and spending their socialization time in internet forums. "dull life" doesn't mean they don't have a work or a sort of real life activity, but they prefer virtual life of sure: it's where they are successful and where they are important.
Bronies hides behind cartoon ponies and Faust, but Faust hides behind bronies.
What more to say? First, don't fall in that trap where you are convinced by some people who say "people like what they like" or "they just want to fight sexism": they don't have opinions, they have prejudges and don't think with their minds.
I don't know William James, but he said something of significative when he said "a great many people believe they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices". I really like this quote.
Don't listen to bronies, but don't listen even to anti-bronies, who can only say "bronies are gay". or "bronies are pedos". Well, some are, actually.
(What? Before you also said being a brony is gay? Like being gay is something of wrong... |:-\ - Being a gay isn't wrong, being an internet nerd who thinks he can do anything even if it is negative is, though)
How to deal with bronies. Well, "deal with it", but not in the way bronies mean: they just don't deserve consideration, at this point: they are mostly sad people (because if you obsess over something, more so over ponies, you are sad, you have some problems and you need a psychiatrist). Bronies are just pure advertisement: if they get ignored, they may stop, but this is impossible. What do you want to do against this kind of people?
I do hate bronies of sure. when i attended forums, most of the people who attacked me for any reason were bronies. And one of them was even a furry. And it's so sad to see that your interests (for example, i like videogames) are shared by these nerds, who are also bronies, sometimes. But bronies are basically immature people full of complexes, and now i feel just pity for them and for people like Faust. Does that mean being successful? They just deserve pity.
But right, it's not our problem if they are sad: it is when they annoy us, but then if they want to ruin themselves being bronies, it's their problem. That guy called ~Pigwasher is right.
I hope i put content in my post.

Not helping...
The poster actually posted some intelligent and concise opinions.
A lot of all hardcore fandoms consist of mentally ill broken people. That's what this Dinomar is trying to say. His idea of what a brony is might be different.
I'm not going to say he's 100% right, actually I'd say he's 40% right at best but going TL;DR in this case is just being foolishly dismissive.

I really didn't mean it in a dismissive way only that the text is simply too long for a forum post in my opinion and I just wanted to poke a bit of fun on that statement. Sorry if it seemed to be otherwize.
Then you should learn to read longer post instead. These kind of posts doesn't make you look cool.
"Don't listen to these bronies or the people who talk positively about them: they are both a bunch of smartasses or a bunch of deluded people. There is nothing of positive about them, and who created the series bronies obsess for."
This statement makes me assume that you hae no good points and makes me stop reading your post since all you are doing here is to bash people who like something you don't.
I read your post now and I must say that I still think that you are wrong on almost every level. All you do is to hide your good arguments in your bantering wich makes it almost impossible to read. I really didn't want to skip over the bettr points in your post but most of it is just whining and therefore the whole thing suffers.
That is my take on it.

My thoughts exactly. This person has got to be either trolling or they've created a new and higher level of bawwwwwtism.
Is bawwwwwtism some new religion I have not heard of?
It's like autism, but not in the mind but the soul, creating a flow of butthurt and textwalling beyond sanity and reason, causing the person to "bawww".
Ahh well that sort of explains this abnormal behavior.
At this point, even mentioning that you're beating a dead horse is beating a dead horse.
That's how overused this topic is.

Why can't men like ponies? I wasn't aware your gender had anything to do with it.
^-1....
bronies suck ok. and these are the reasons why.
1. they clop.
2. they're gay.
3.they're furries.
4. It's just wrong for teenaged boys and middle aged men spending their free time watching clips and episodes of a show made for a 5 year old girl.
5.They're hypocrites.
6.they're pussies

1. This is partial truth, while I can safely say I do not clop(I hate that term...) and not all bronies clop but I cannot say for sure whether the ratio of perves to non-perves is swayed in the favor of non-perves. So I won't confirm your supposition but I'm not going to dismiss you either.
2. I never got this ideal, how can a group of males that like overtly GIRLY stuff be gay? Wouldn't male homosexuals gravitate to manly yet homoerotic media (Which MLP is not)? Especially when you mention bronies supposed "clopping" habits. You do know 70% of the characters on that show are female right?
3. I would say you aren't totally wrong regarding this assertion.
Furries comes in two categories; The first is those that identify as an anthropomorphic creature leading them to donn a fursuit to live out this fantasy. It can lead to sexual fetish but not defining.
Then there's those that partake in the fursuit in a purely perverted context, they are in it for the yiff.
A brony can easily fit in to both of those categories but they are not two espoused concepts. You can be a brony without being a fur... Very easily.
4. Why do you think it's wrong? If it's no more then a gut feeling you may want to scrutinize your feelings a little more. You will either become more accepting and tolerant of bronies up on realizing your hate is baseless. OR you will find that your hate is justified and your opinion will become stronger and reaffirmed.
5. Can't argue with that, I've seen some PRIME examples of hypocrisy in the fandom, but I will add that not all of them are you can't say Brony = Hypocrit any more then you say Homstuckers = Socially Inept Assholes. It's just an incorrect assertion based on gut feelings.
6. Also can't argue with that, it takes a soft type of person to open up to such a *lets face it bronies* girly show. But I'm not sure I would use the word pussy to describe us, but its crudely apt in a way.
So assuming you are NOT just a random troll I am curious as to why you hate the fandom? I'm going to guess you must have had a run in with the more umm zealous of the fandom and they left a bad taste in your mouth? That or this seemingly odd deviation from the status quo disturbs you in a less tangible manner?

Are you a whitebronyknight of this forum?
Not really, I just like to take things rational. Hate is seldom rational, key word being seldom.
But if white knighting means defending a view point from irrational scorn then. well. I suppose I am!
Squire! where's my lance! And get my high horse from the stable will ye! Yes the white one, white contrasts the spilled blood better!
That being said I have came to the defense of those posing negative viewpoints about bronies that have truth and are somewhat rational.
As a Brony I know there are awesome great aspects of the fandom and the fans but I also am painfully aware that there's a equally horrible negative side. Namely the intense level of social awkwardness, the hypocrisy, the levels of puerile and perverted behavior. These are not perpetrated by all the fandom but I can't say with any level of conviction that those few decent Bronies are in the majority.
But not everything in that guys comment was on a sound base, they needed to be questioned.
And this Homestuckers V Brony feud the guy has mentioned is new to me and strange. Since the person that directed me to ponies also directed me to home stuck stating that it was really good web comic... Maybe things have changed?

Pardon me if I don't get something but "Brony" is essentially grown men watching show intended for 13 year old girls?
No...
It's grown men watching a show intended for 8-10 year old girls... I think that's it target demographic.
