Today, my 19-year-old brother subjected me to yet another rant about how the writers of My Little Pony aren't writing the show for people like him any more, the "true fans", otherwise known as pimply-faced adults who don't use deodorant and only shower once a week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my brother's refused to shower after 2 weeks of dripping sweat and never changing clothes. He claims the smell is just his "manly musk" and if I can't handle it, then maybe I'm the problem. FML
Today, I taught my 12-year-old brothers that showering cannot be used as a substitute for deodorant, and that they should use both. One of them was almost in tears. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son begged me to pre-order the next season of My Little Pony. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that your little brother is not joking when he threatens to shave your eyebrows if you don't let him watch cartoons. FML
Today, I actually had to teach my 9-year-old brother how to pour himself a glass of milk, after he burst out in tears when my sister told him to do it himself. His astonishing ignorance also extends to basic hygiene. FML
Today, I'm faced with the prospect of having to defend my sister from a herd of very angry bronies. FML
Today, my 19 year-old brother called me a moron and told me to go read a book, after I corrected him when he said girls don't have colons. FML
Today, I was trolling on a My Little Pony forum. I was midway through typing a big post, calling them all a bunch of attention-seeking losers who act like morons because their parents never loved them, when I broke down in tears, realizing I'd just perfectly described myself. FML
Today, I had to supervise my 9 year-old nephew taking a shower, because he won't wash with soap or shampoo unless someone makes him. Instead, he blows three-inch-long green and brown boogers out of his nose that dangle from his nostril. He's disgusting and hasn't even hit puberty yet. This is future of the world. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you sound like a heartless bitch for calling out your brother like that.

Bronies are those who are "too old" for my little pony but still like it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking a children's show.

It's fans like that that make people embarrassed to admit they even like the show...

This is me. Closet pegasister. My boyfriend is the only person I have admitted it to outside of a group of bronies on my bus. The reason? Cloppers and anti-bronies fill my school. The cloppers are what make me afraid to admit it because I know everyone will automatically assume I'm like them. It hurts to know that I'll be judged just for having a positive opinion about a kids' show.

I'm in the same boat, 149. I showed my boyfriend MLP and he loves it! I haven't told anyone else about it, mostly because of comments like the ones on this post.

My boyfriend and I weren't even conventionally introduced to MLP through watching the show. Instead, I had noticed a few brony collabs on YouTube's newsfeed one afternoon, thought it was interesting to see a few references to adult media in the thumbnails, and gave them a chance. The references were hilarious as collab fodder, so I watched the first few episodes of the show. The wit and timing of the characters and script pulled me in, and I knew my boyfriend would enjoy the writing as much as I did. We also enjoyed spotting the occasional Derpy Easter egg in each episode. Now, he's a bigger fan of the show than I am (he usually keeps up with new episode releases on fan sites, and I don't actively pursue them), but he's certainly not the kind to wear MLP merchandise, collect vinyl figurines, or "spread the good word" on Facebook about how Celestia has a wonderful plan for his life. That's about as annoying as seeing people wearing Belieber, Team *insert mythological entity's name here*, One Direction, or any other pop culture reference die-hard shirts.

The only issue I see here is how horribly you are talking about your family member whose giant flaw seems to be that he talks to you about an uncommon interest that is important to him. Who cares what he's into? My Little Pony makes him happy, it doesn't hurt anyone, I don't see a problem here.

THANK you! Finally someone with some common sense!

I swear the guy who originally was like "I'm over the age of five and like MLP." doesn't feel so weird anymore. Like what you will but that doesn't make it not weird. Sorry about this OP. :p

The clopping is what I don't understand. Really? What would their fantasy coming true mean exactly?

Maybe he has a my little pony fetish?
awesomeamandas 37
Yes. Because everything someone likes he has sexual fantasies about. "Mhmmm I love this cheese. Some sexy ass cheese."

Be careful there, you might be talking about Queen Chrysalis there, with her Swiss Cheese Legs >_> lol

Damn bronies ;)

That's so sad to hear. Maybe he can stand up against the Pony Man and do something about it, like My Little Pimple or something along those lines.

Ewwwwww! You poor thing! Your brother is a neckbeard!
Rokara 10
My neck has no beard. Just my cheeks and chin. None on my neck.
