PJTV Trifecta Video:”My Little Brony: Grown Men Are Embracing the ‘My Little Pony’ Lifestyle”
I noticed that several of the MLP photos included the children. We cannot bring children to the workplace, and I can understand schools and others advocating parents share interests with their children.
And so we see outrage that men are investing attention in My Little Pony.
Farmers aside, few men and women can take their children to work with them. All too many aren’t working, many workplaces that could let children share their parent’s tasks don’t (OSHA, don’t you know).
My Little Pony is a fantasy. A fantasy like previous generation’s model trains, vicarious life through radio and later TV programs, movies, etc. The story didn’t detail the percentage of men sharing a love of My Little Pony with their own or a friend’s family. They didn’t report whether the MLP interest interfered with family life or with work, or with their children’s development.
We don’t tell our children *why* they should grow up, make a family, and raise children (the perpetuation of society, thus a need that their companion be of sound character, and chosen for their ability in family and child rearing; sexual thrills must come a respectable second). We are several generations since Dr. Spock broke the generational progression, and many parents since that book broke out, were never parented effectively. How, then, should parents recognize the flaws and oversights and errors in whatever amateur or professional advice they receive?
