It is what the title describes. Please, people, keep in mind that I made very large generalizations when it came to identifying the subgroups. If I were to really delve into the true minute subgroup details of all of the Bronie culture, I would probably keel.
Please note people: With any social analysis comes both acceptance and rejection. Many of you will feel that this is all complete crap, doesn't represent anything accurately and the like. If you do feel this way, please realize I am only one person and never got a degree in this. If you harbor these sentiments, then I beg of you to post your feedback which you believe will improve my analysis. Thank you for your cooperation.
I'd say I fall somewhere between 'moderate' and 'unhappy'. Not a very daring analysis overall, but good work none the less. It was certainly important someone created something like this.
I am a Moderate, though I like it mostly for the story and characters as opposed to the technical aspects. I mostly fanfic, with a bit of fanart on the side. And I detest clopfics.
I found myself fitting nicely in to one of your generalizations at all parts except when I got to Functions. There I just couldn't find one to fit with. Other than that, good job.
One problem i find in this analisis is the categorical distinction between modeartes and unhappies. You have to remember that in reality depression, anxity and even bad periods in life are not binary states but rether gradiants, and recation to the show stand on the very same gradiant as well.
Is it really true that people are sugjested to watch MLP:FiM to free them from depression or at least help them? I never knew how powerful of a story this show has... it is simply increadable.
Very confusing, but thanks anyway.
Your analysis is very eye opening thank you
