There's a huge difference between feminine and flat out childish. I think some people are confusing the two.
Lold hard, the dragon just said it didn't want anything to do with girly froo froo nonsense.
To understand Transformers fiction, it is important to understand that it exists to sell toys. Hasbro and TakaraTomy are toy companies, and they are primarily interested in continuing to sell toys to children and adults. The cartoons, comic books, etc., mostly exist to make this happen. To be sure, they normally make a profit in their own right, but this is regarded as mere gravy.

Ah okay I see what you're saying and doubt I could muster a counter-argument (not that I want to as I agree).
But that is it' own piece of the pie and could be extended to television shows in general, especially children/animated shows (toy production). Which you said. I get that. Still doesn't negate it being a rocking kids show compared to the other horrible shows I am forced to watch with my brothers and sisters. I guess watching it is contributing to the machine, but pick your battles right?edit on 18-8-2012 by Lucid Lunacy because: (no reason given)

This is perhaps the most ignorant thread I have seen on this website.
The "Male attitude" that you claim naturally exists was engineered by society. It's nothing more than a gender role. If a guy wants to watch a show about frolicking ponies, there shouldn't be an attack on his "manliness". Rather, I think we need to question why we automatically think a guy liking things that were designed only for "girls" is such a horrible thing.
Well that may be true,but the extremes some of these fans go to is just weird. this thread isnt about manliness so to speak. Its about a observation i have personally seen at times. MLP is just one facet of it. It seems so many shows these days are slipping subliminal clues into their programming. Is it part of a master plan by TPTB to weaken male egos to make them easier to manipulate? Could it be a feminist plot? Who really knows. Mayby i should just lay off the caffiene LOL.

I've got to ask, why does it matter even if it's true? What have you got against men becoming more feminine? It's much better than machismo bull if you ask me, and i'm pretty sure their girlfriends/wives appreciate a man more in touch with his feminine side...
