[Juri]

I assumed the shirt was for people who like the older gens and also love bronies? I guess I missed the point lol.

Well I know I won't be getting the shirt, not because of the ponies on it. I love the '80s ponies to pieces! But I simply don't like the word Bronies among other things

I have an idea of what it's getting at and apparently some Bronies are missing that point

Bronies, the niche adult male fans of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", are mad at a t-shirt being sold at Walmart. The offending shirt says "I Heart Bronies" on it. However, the characters depicted on the shirt are from the 1980's My Little Pony cartoon, and not the newer show the Bronies are actual fans of. So yeah, the Bronies ain’t happy with Walmart. In our second story, New Zealand is putting Hobbits on their money. Just name Peter Jackson your Emperor already, New Zealand

Is this true?

That's extremely nerdy of them to actually complain over that shirt. It's not like welovefine or other outlets don't exist.

Is it bad that this makes me even more excited to wear this shirt just to be a troll? >_>

Sadly, bronies should take the hint that we have known for years. Hasbro doesn't care. They will throw you a bone here and there, but when it comes down to it. They don't care.

I felt the same way.... (don't tell)

[mlp4me]

Just caught this now on yahoo... old news yahoo, old news... LOL

Well it's new news to me and as for the shirt, I may not like it because I'm not a fan of the 80s but I see no reason to fight over it just because you don't like something. I'm a Brony that is open to letting others like whatever gen of MLP they want.

Well stated. :o) 

(There's been a thread about this particular shirt on the arena since 10/3... LOL, we're so on top of things compared to yahoo...)

me too!!!
I want this shirt sooooo bad!!! Its only available at 1000 walmarts currently though :/

[Koudoawaia]

I love that shirt actually. I wonder if my Walmart has it^^

[sweetstuff]

So dumb... I mean like the Bronies are the only ones with valid opinions. MLP has been around since before most of them were born, so they just need to get over themselves.  *end rant*

I love G1, G3 and I like FiM (still on the fence on some of the toys) - but as a 30+ mom I'd feel funny wearing a shirt that said 'I love Bronies", it would make me feel like Mrs Robinson. ;D

[starrypawz]

This is all a bit of a storm in a teacup, it's a goof up but to be fair bronies are still a fairly 'new' internet fad despite being around for quite a while so the media hasn't quite worked out the fandom yet.

Can you imagine though if it had been a shirt with Boba Fett on it and said something like 'Live Long and Prosper'
