Just checked out the lemmy version of r/place. On there, on people profiles, and many lemmy communities are devoted to my little pony and various other childish cartoon stuff. Im mostly out of the loop. I read an article a while back about a website that was an alt-right thing that used childish speech and my little pony imagery. Is this what this is? Is it a fetish thing? What is the reason for the prevalence of childish cartoonish imagery on the internet in places most likely inhabited by adults? Dead serious question by someone out of the loop. Anyone in the know please help me out here. Marked Nsfw just in case.

Question has been answered, now it’s getting into stereotypes. Locking per rule #2.

OP what kind of hole have you been living in for the past 10 years? How is it possible someone doesn’t know about this and knows what lemmy is, of all things?

A new popular movie for adults is about an iconic children’s doll. Before that, we were delving into young adult books about a secret wizard’s school. Be careful where you throw stones.

Why are you so passionate about MLP? Like, who gives a shit?

I’m not, and I’m condemning those that are.

“Who gives a shit?” is my question exactly.

And it would seem the answer is you. You mistake my irritation for passion because you are projecting your own emotions.

It’s called projection or being jealous.
